Welcome to R-Slash, am I the butthole where OP gets pregnant during a threesome? Am I the butthole for not letting my baby daddy's fiance name our baby? I'm a 27 year old woman and I had a one night stand with my baby daddy Jasper who's 25. I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant. There was no cheating, but that's not important for the story. Jasper's fiance Maddie who's, lost their first child a year ago. I can't imagine going through child loss, and I've been trying to be accommodating to her, but I've said a few rules. One, she can't treat me as a surrogate because I'm not. This is Jasper and I's kid. She'll be the stepmom, not the adoptive mom, too. She cannot be in the

delivery room. I'm only allowed to have two people there, and I chose to have Jasper and my mom. She argued and she really tried to push it because she wanted me to have her in Jasper, but I said no. Then she wanted me to have her and my mom, and I said no. I was clear that even if Jasper wasn't in the room, then she wouldn't be allowed either way, because I'm not comfortable with that. 3. She can't make big decisions for our kid on her own. She can suggest and she can ask, but she can't take them unless it's an emergency. Aside from that, we're all aware that the situation isn't common, and we'll have to learn along the way. A few days ago, the three of us went to dinner and Jasper asked if I'd given any thought to our kid's name. I said yes and gave him a list.

I told him they can add some names to it and then the three of us could discuss them and choose one. Maddie told me that she wanted to give the kid her dad's name as a middle name since it's very special to her. I'll be honest, I do not like that idea because a family's name and a father's one at that seems very personal. I also didn't like it that she behaved like the decision was set since that's not our deal. Jasper didn't seem that fond of the idea either so I told her that.

And that while we could consider that name and think about it, I just wasn't sure. Maddie got quite pissy and said that it wasn't fair that she wasn't allowed to have a say in anything without passing it through the mom police because this was her child too. She can't be in the delivery room, she won't give birth to them or have any legal rights,

but the least that I could do is let her have the middle name. Jasper tried to argue with her, but Maddie refused. Took her things and left us there. He stayed back for a while and he apologized for her before taking me back to my own house. My mom says that she understands Maddie's POV. I'm having a child with her man after losing her own baby, and she's not allowed to do anything without me or Jasper saying yes first, and that maybe I should let her have it since middle names don't really matter anymore. I'm still not entertaining the idea, but I want to ask anyways. Okay, so down in the comments, honestly, I think people are being way way too harsh on Maddie.

The number one most upvoted comment is, not the butthole you should probably consult with a family lawyer because this woman is going to try to steal your baby. Okay, let's calm down. Let's relax guys. I don't think that's what's going on at all. I mean, yes, it is possible that Maddie is completely off the deep end and she's trying to control someone else's baby. But you know, I kind of want to give her the benefit of the doubt here, and because I think what this really is is a young mother who tragically lost

her child, and now she's stuck in a really complicated situation, and she's struggling with it. I mean, who wouldn't have heard feelings in Maddie's situation? If I were in Maddie's shoes, I would feel awful about it. I lose my only child, and then my girlfriend is pregnant from another man and I've got to raise that daughter, which you know I'm happy to do, which is going to remind me of my own lost daughter like oh my god the emotions I come with that have got to be so complicated. So she has a minor outburst in her restaurant where she gets upset that she can't make one decision because she wants to be involved and people are jumping on her case saying she's going to try to steal the baby.

Come on guys let's let's's chill out a little bit here. I mean, am I wrong that like, yeah, it's not her kid, but she is gonna be the stepmom. So she does have some say in how the kid's gonna be raised. I mean, not enough to name the kid, naturally. I agree with you there, but like, for real. I don't know, am I off base with this? This feels, this feels much more

nuanced than reddit is making it out to be. The comments make this seem really black and white like Maddie is some nuts so but I don't think that's the case. I think she's just injured and she's grieving from the loss of her kid because who wouldn't and she's struggling with the situation because it's a really complicated situation. So OP, I'm giving you zero out of five buttoles because obviously you should be able to name your kid whatever you want. I'm giving Jasper 0 out of 5 buttholes because from what I've seen he's done nothing wrong here. And, I mean, honestly, I kind of want to give Maddie 0 out of 5 buttholes too. Is it wrong of her to ask to get the middle name?

It doesn't seem that unreasonable. Is it wrong of her to get emotional considering the situation? I guess a little, but I think we have to give her some leeway considering she lost her kid and now she's raising someone else's child. So this kind of feels like a no butthole situation. But considering how much the comments are blasting on Maddie, I'm guessing that the comments in this YouTube video are going to harshly disagree with me. So if I'm wrong, which I maybe, it's possible I am, please let me know why I'm wrong and why Maddie deserves all this hate. Because maybe I'm just, maybe I'm being too sympathetic to

the mother of a lost kid. Whoa, whoa, hold up, hold up, edit. For some clarification, we had a threesome and I got pregnant. Wow, that complicates things. I'm not living with them and neither are they of agreed that it meant nothing more. It doesn't make us partners and they've got their own relationship. I never sleep with just Maddie or with just Jasper and it only happened three times after I told them about the baby. Three of us had a long talk today. Uh, okay. Okay, whoa, whoa. Whoa, that, okay.

That changes things so much. You are sleeping with this woman. She was there during the moment of conception. I mean like, yeah, it is your and Jasper's baby, but you are literally in a polyamorous threesome relationship with this woman. And you're expecting to raise them as I guess a thrupple, and she gets no say in anything? Okay, I completely stand by my early assessment. Maddie definitely gets zero out of five buttles.

I might actually honestly have to raise your and Jasper's buttlescore a little bit here. Like, how can you have Maddie so deeply entrenched and involved in this thrupple relationship? As essentially a co-parent, but then give her zero rights, zero say. Am I off base here here like why why are the comments so Against Maddie I feel am I am I nuts as I scroll way way down to the comments I hear some people saying that a three some suggests that O.P. was with Jasper just as much as he was with Maddie

So why is it the Jasper is the only one who gets parental rights when Maddie doesn't? And like, yeah, I do kind of understand that point. Man, this is one of the most complicated and divisive comments sections I have ever seen. I see literally all combinations. Everyone sucks, no one sucks, OP sucks, Maddie sucks, Maddie's crazy, OP is crazy. I am keenly interested to read the YouTube comments on this one. If you guys viciously disagree with me and you think that I'm way, way off base, just please understand that this looks to be the case that everyone disagrees on this story

because the comment section are nuts. So please go easy on me guys. Today's episode is sponsored by Coinbase. My second biggest regret is not starting my YouTube channel sooner. My biggest regret is not getting into Bitcoin back when it was like $1. I remember back when Bitcoin was super new, I was interested in it, and I thought about buying some, but I lost interest because I didn't know what to do and it felt a little overwhelming. I really wish that I could have used a site like Coinbase back then. Coinbase is a website that makes it super easy to buy crypto currency

Am I the butthole for losing it on my fiance for disinviting my stepsisters from our wedding? I'm a 25-year-old woman and I'm getting married to my fiance next month. We've had no issues with a wedding planning except for the guest list. For context, I have a large family. I have two step-sisters, age 18 to 20, and a biological

brother who's 27, and also a biological sister who's 30. My fiance argued that the guest list should be cut short and suggested I only sister who's 30. My fiance argued that the guest list should be cut short and suggested I only invite my immediate family. I asked him to elaborate and he suggested excluding my step sisters. I said no and got upset with him for implying that they're not family. He said, well, that wasn't what I meant.

I was just speaking from a technical angle, especially since I didn't include them in the wedding party like my mate of honor and my bridesmaids. So they thought that they were unneeded, but I said they were wanted and will always be wanted and included by me. Well days ago, my step-sisters called saying that my fiance canceled their invitations and told them some lie about changing wedding location and telling them they won't be able to come.

I was fuming. I went home and started screaming at him. He asked that I hear him out, then explained that he had no choice since we were required to shorten the list. He said that he just did my dirty work for me since I obviously was looking at the situation from an emotional angle, and I couldn't bring myself to disinvite my step-sisters myself. I called him a hypocrite because he invited almost 6 of his friends who, as far as I know,

aren't a immediate family. I told him that he hurt my step-sisters by going behind my back and excluding them from my wedding which they've been so excited about. He got up from his couch and yelled that it's our wedding, so my step-sisters' feelings aren't really that relevant compared to his feelings. And he called me controlling for wanting it my way or the highway. He took his phone and stormed out to see his friends. Some of his friends called to scold me for how I treated their brother. And then they went on about how I was rude to suggest that their brother disinvite them

from the wedding just because I don't like them, and they called it a U problem. My mother-in-law called and is wanting to speak with me. He probably told her what's going on, and she's probably going to ask that I apologize for yelling. Opie, your fiance did you the courtesy of showing you these red flags before you get married to him. Like he says that his feelings are more important than your stepsisters, but it's not about your stepsisters feelings, it's about your feelings.

You said that you wanted to invite your family, so who is he to say no? Then he goes to his friends to like what, tattletail on you and get them to call you up and bully slash pressure you into giving him what he wants. What? This is like honestly, 6 year old behavior. Opie, I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving him 3 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for telling the neighborhood parents the real reason why their kids can no longer play in my yard slash playground. My grandparents owned a lot next to their house, but they just use it for more yard space. When my sister and I were born, Grandpa knocked down the old shed on the empty lot and built a playground for us. He made everything with his own two hands. It was a kid's dream,

and we both played there any chance we got. And after we grew up, they let the neighborhood kids use the place to play with no issues. But then, some years later, they passed away and the house went to my mom. I found out that I'm expecting, so my husband and I started seriously looking for a house. Mom suggested that we buy my grandparents house since we know it's a good place, and us buying it we keep it in the family. It's still in good shape, it has no HOA and it's close to a good school. So we bought it for a steal and we moved in ASAP.

Right away we noticed parents hanging out at the playground with their kids. We didn't mind at first and we used the chance to introduce ourselves. Everyone was lovely and younger than I'd expected, but it seems that a bunch of couples with kids had taken over the street in the past five years or so. The problem arose when Neighbor Witch brought her kids over one afternoon. I happened to be by a window

and I saw a flash of red outside. It was a kid in a red shirt, literally standing on the roof of one of the two story playhouses, almost 10 feet off the ground. I ran outside thinking that he was alone, and I said he had to get down right now. That's when Neighbor Witch stormed over from who knows where, and yelled at me to F off and not tell her kid what to do. I asked if she was his mom, and after getting a yes, I asked her to make her son get down before he got hurt.

She argued with me saying that I couldn't make him do anything, so I told her this was my property and yes, I can! And that's when the kid fell. Thankfully, he fell when he was halfway down and only onto the grass, but he still wailed like he was dying. He was fine. He got up without issue and ran over to the neighbor which. She picked him up and said that if he had been hurt, she would have sued me, so I threatened her with the cops if she didn't leave. She flipped me off and called me a... a gin jockey.

Gin jockey and then left. My husband was worried that other people might try to sue us if their kids got hurt on our land, which I hadn't even thought of, so we put up a fence. Parents came by asking why we put up the fence, so I told them why, and that they can think the neighbor which. I heard that she's been shunned by the other parents, and that none of them will let their kids play with hers. I feel guilty that her son is getting punished for her actions.

Maybe just saying that we wanted to fence up instead of telling them the truth would've been kinder? Am I the butthole? Actually, OP, I think there's a term for this. It's like, attractive danger? What, what? Attractive... Danger...

Fence? I can't be right. Attractive nuisance. Okay, so, yeah, there's like a lot of laws and a lot of localities about attractive nuicences, which is basically something that pulls kids to play with it, like a playground or a swimming pool. But the fact that it's dangerous without supervision means that typically the person who owns the attractive nuisance has to put a fence around it, otherwise they're liable. So if you have like a pool that's unfinst and some kid comes over and drowns in it, then in some localities, you will get in trouble for that, not the parents of the kid who drowned. So OP, you are completely

correct here. You get zero out of five buttholes, the neighbor gets, uh, 2.5 out of five buttholes. I'm a 20 year old guy. And am I the butthole for teaching my knees? Who's for to say El Chupa Cobra when her mom says, you know what really gets my goat? Uh, so basically the title, I guess. My sister has a habit of saying, you know what really gets my goat, and she probably says it like seven or eight times a day. So like the Tumblr post, I taught my knees to say El Chupa Cobra whenever her mom says it. But it sounds more like a Super Cobra, though, because she's four, and it's adorable. I told my niece that it was a monster from Mexico that eats goats, and she didn't seem scared

or anything, probably because the only monster she knows about is Cookie Monster. But apparently, now my niece walks around the house saying, a Super Cobra all day, and now my sister and brother-in-law are mad at me for teasing her this. But I don't know, it's kind of adorable and also harmless. But also, she's like my sister's kid, so I don't know. Okay, so parents have a certain set of responsibilities, siblings have a certain set of responsibilities, you're at the uncle.

And the uncle's responsibility to a young child is to make goofy jokes. And that's exactly what you did. You made a goofy joke. You're teasing your sister. And, the uncle's responsibility to a young child is to make goofy jokes. And that's exactly what you did. You made a goofy joke. You're teasing your sister in a very harmless fun way. Like why are they even mad? This is kind of funny, to be honest. OP, you and the kid get zero out of five buttholes.

Your sister and brother-in-law get, I don't know, 0.5 out of five buttholes. I genuinely don't understand what you so upset about. Just keep being the cool uncle OP.
