Story 1: How would he ever be the jerk in this situation? She left willingly after disagreements, had hidden the deeds of the house (most likely theft/destruction of legal documents, a crime itself), and called the cops under false pretenses to gain entry into a property she did not own. In no way shape or form the jerk.

"SHES YOUR MOTHER" had me rolling on the floor.

Kenzi/Katie Story: So these two women were trapped in part because OP (who never had to live with gmom) controlled the checkbook. OP made his sisters free live in caretakers and then belittled the consequences. Yeah, he's a judgemental AH who can't see his part in his sisters' struggles.

Love the senior woman’s sense of humor. Definitely not a jerk.

The mother sityation happened to me with my best friend of nearly 20 years. We haven't spoken in the decade since I evicted her. And I don't care. Her treating me and my home with such contempt killed everything I felt for her.

From my understanding the wife was upset about the prank but what drove her to put him out on the couch was him saying they were beautiful. Then the father in law made a joke in a way that could've been hurtful to both the husband and wife.

Story 1: The mom was definitely in the wrong to justify her actions by saying "I'm your mother". Nor is she justified in demanding the keys to the house.

In story #5 she says that her husband made a comment on how the boss’s wives were both beautiful and are like works of art, that’s why she made him sleep on the couch.

The story of the sisters caring for their grandmother hit a nerve. My dad was having issues and died when i was in high-school. Im the oldest of 3, so i helped care for my siblings and helped him for years. Im in therapy now for things that happened before he passed. Helped with his medical issues, helped care for my siblings, youngest brother has autism... it was a lot. Ive struggled to come to terms with the fact that i will never know why he let this fall on me. There are somethings i understand he couldnt do anything about... but at some point he just gave up. This guy has no idea the kind of stress and trauma that comes from these situations.

It’s not the prank she was upset over. It was the fact the son said the women looked like pieces of art. Making the wife feel less than. That’s why she was upset. It wasn’t really the prank on the other women. She didn’t like it, but it was his “they are pieces of art” comment essentially. Just for those who didn’t get it 🤷🏼‍♀️

My mom had keys to a house I was renting. I had been buying things for myself to set up housekeeping. She came in and saw I had 2 sets of new glasses and new, very nice flatware with all the extra things like a gravy ladle and desert server. She took them and replaced my nice glassware with jelly jar glasses and old silverware that was a jumble of silver plate and stainless. She was actually angry I had bought nice things and had not offered them to her and accepted her old things because that’s how children treat their parents “. I reminded her of how when she got married she had gotten a house full of things like living and bedroom furniture, silverware, dishes and glassware. My grandparents had to find money and totally refurnish their house in a 2 month period . Never saw that flatware or those glasses ever again.

Great video. I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me, i still love her and most times i cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i dont know why i am bring this here for, i cant stop thinking about her.

Story 5: you got that wrong, man, the wife was upset that her husband was looking and complimenting at the other two women, so it wasn't only about the prank!! She was made feel less than the two "pieces of art"!!!

Last story: Even if he is depressed, he still is responsible for his actions. He made everyone else's life harder. Worse yet, he isn't treating it and is making it worse by staying up late.

The second story about the wife and husband I can see why he loves that wife so much, she's freaking phenomenal!

You should have cut ties with the toxic mom way before that happened? Honestly you were doing her a favor and that's how you are treated

I love what the wife did. She is my hero.

9:45 She probably spent those 10 seconds actually checking her kitchen sink.

Loved how the wife handled that it was great

About the college situation in story 6. Its deffintely possible that she might've had good results in that dream school even if she dropped out of community college. Motivation is one of the biggest parts about studying and if someone cant be fucked to care ofc they're going to fail, doesn't have to mean anything about talent or potential, just the lack of motivation to do a certain thing.

I love the older couple!! His wife is awesome!! Can't wait to be older and have no filter

1st story...absolutely loved your wife's response to that rude asshole. I hate unnecessary rudeness and usually return it twofold.

#1: You are not the jerk. It's time for Mother to go home.

The story of the guy on the couch. What he did wrong was asking for the picture of the owners wife’s and saying it’s like having art. That last part is what hurt his wife. No woman wants a man to say they want a picture of some other woman as art

No, she’s the AH. It’s YOUR house. Giving her the guest house was perfectly nice.

This wasnt an over reaction. She wasnt mad about the prank but about what the guy said. Imagine your partner saying that other woman is a pieco of art. Sounds like to him she is not. But sure she souldnt tell his mother about it. Its their private mater and if she said not your business before then there shouldn't be a problem

Apparently they didn't want to deal with her but they still wanted to pretend to loyal.

Story 1- It is YOUR HOUSE. Period. Whatever anyone else thinks, no matter who they are or think they are, does not matter. Last story - Ignore his BS excuses and get rid of the game or maybe the whole system. Treat him the same as a kid who is being an A-hole.

Parents would scream at you things like "My house my rules!" and "When you have your own house you can have your own rules!" and then be offended when you do exactly that.

Story 2: SHE’S NOT UPSET ABOUT THE PRANK. She’s upset about the fact that the husband called two other MARRIED women beautiful while being MARRIED himself and then objectified them by saying they looked like pieces of art as though that’s all they are instead of the women they actually are.

Story 2 - of course she’s being a jerk but they deserved it and sometimes you need to act a little jerkily to get through to some people. The way she led the couple around before saying Sit the F Down had me in stitches and I would love to have seen it. 😂

for the first story I actually think the OP isnt a jerk at all and is exceedingly generous. the mom likely just has a history of dick head activity and he was fed up before she moved in lol

Mother should have complied with her son's rules and be thankful that her son took her in.

On the last story, as someone who is a gamer, a parent, and struggles with mental illness, the onus is on you to get the help you need so that you can be present in your significant other’s life and the life of your child. When you become a parent their needs need to be taken care of before you can get on a video game. If you’re using a video game to escape reality, if it becomes an issue don’t be shocked when you get called out on it and your relationships suffer.

Story 3 is like drinking poison to kill someone else...

I found the second story hilarious, if I was there I wouldn’t have been able to contain my laughter

Why were 2 young women expected to put their life on hold? Op was the adult here. He should have taken care of the grandmother. She probably would have gotten better care in a nursing home.

If I ever run into a situation where someone thinks I work there, I don't think I will say "I don't work here". Instead I will say, "that's not my job."

RE prank about 2 women wearing the same dress: She’s not upset enough about him laughing at the prank to make him sleep on the couch. She’s upset because he made the comment that having a picture of the 2 women would be like having a piece of art in his home cuz they’re so beautiful. Jealous? Yes! Depends on their relationship just how hurtful that was.

The story with the grandmother could have had a compromise. They could have gotten a home support worker so the grandmother isn't "put in a home". That way the girls could have still progressed in life the way the wanted.

Aww come-on

The last one hits me where it hurts. Reminds me so much of what I know of my father. I share the same house with him. But I don’t remember anything nice or caring he’s done for me. He’s always on his computer. Barely does anything around the house. Treats my mum like shit. Like her words don’t matter to him and the only way to get him to do anything is to threaten him with a divorce

Story 1 made my blood boil! Why isn’t she in a retirement home of a sort instead? Seems like the mother needs to learn her kids are no longer kids.

People like that are never embarrassed for the way they act, those two especially since they were giving his wife dirty looks. She told them that they were also waiting but got very arrogant about and continued to demand to be seated. So she did

The tech support story is sooo funny since I worked tech support myself and the stuff I heard has you in stitches at times. The other stories were interesting and funny at times tho a few made me wonder if there was more to the story or someone overreacting at that time. Which can happen when emotions r involved.

The senior citizen non-employee is my hero! Definitely not the jerk. She's awesome and showed those entitled doofuses!❤😂

#6 Poster does NOT understand how difficult it is to care for a dying loved one. To lay that one teenagers and then criticize them for wanting to start their lives is reprehensible.

I absolutely love the way she handled crazy people.

15:04 he wasn't on the couch because of the prank. He was on the couch because he essentially said, in her mind, that he was a attracted to two other women and he wanted a photo of them for himself.

Final story: Even as a preteen kid, I still wouldn’t act like that if my mom needed me to do a chore, much less if I was a dad. He needs to get his stuff together

And your response would be, "I'm your son." Respect is a two-way street.

I agree. Everyone should respect others' property. Even mother's . Everyone has boundaries

Story 5: its not the prank shes mad about the fact her HUSBAND asked for the picture of the two girls and said having it is like pieces of art.

#1 WIFE IS NOT THE AH!!! I LOVE your wife. She IS ME on a good day!!! I get every bit of her & her humor 🤩😍. They really do deserve your wife & I. 😄😁

Story 2: I think the wife was hilarious

This is the best podcast to listen to while cleaning, tysm

He never should have said yes from the BEGINNING! The wife did a great thing, funny and I love it. I've dealt with that type of individual(s) using a computer myself. People want your help, then they refuse to listen to what you are telling to do and at other times telling how it needs to be done, even though they are contacting you for help. Go Figure!

She wasn't mad for the prank thing its because of what he said "" THEY ARE A PIECE OF ART "" That was disrespectful and she felt less than those women.

Story 1 just like my mom always makes that excuse "I'm your mother" just to justify her wrong and stupid doings for example I have filed a labor case to my former employer about giving my salary late for more than a month I won the case and got my salary with compensation after that my mom said to me "don't file again a labor case it's embarrassing" I told her so mom I'll be quiet if there's an employer taking advantage of me? Is that it rather than fight for my right not just an employee but as a person who worked hard to earn a living? Do you even know the whole story why I filed a labor case in the first place? That's the effects of watching too much stupid drama or being weak or afraid of fighting for what is right? My mom replied "don't talk to me like that I'm your mom" I answer yes your my mom but let me ask you this do you see me as a son for fighting my rights? You didn't wanna hear my side you just assumed I was wrong without knowing even my side if you really see me as a son you will support my rights or not being a one sided weak person and your excuse I'm your mother is invalid a mother wouldn't use that excuse for their wrong or stupid actions like what you are saying too me right now also don't influence me with your weak minded attitude if you can't fight for what is right that's ok with me but don't make me be like that I will fight my rights if I have to if you don't support me then stay quiet and don't lecture me about your weak attitude I'm not interested and I know I'm in the right. After that she walked away and give me dirty looks.

Honestly, people who use "But we're family!", Or "I'm your [family member]!" just to get what they want just pisses me off. It's just basically their go-to excuse now whenever they don't get their way.

Story 2: wife is LEGEND -- story 4: granson snoozed, they lose

"I just turned my faucet on. Is there water in your sink?" I'm going to have to remember that one. Because I've had conversations like that before and undoubtedly will again as an IT professional.

As a person who suffers from depression and didn’t realize it for a long time, it can be possible to do what needs to get done. I did it for years. I finally sought help and have been on medication for years. If someone knows they are depressed, they shouldn’t use that as an excuse to get out of everything. Seek help, get on medication. Don’t just check out on your responsibilities. It may seem like a huge step and it is, but do it.

#2 Your wife is priceless. Love her.

The guy playing the video game to the exclusion of everything else is not ‘depressed’, he’s addicted. He needs the ultimatum to choose between his family and his video games…and mean it! This is classic addictive behavior. It will not get better on its own…

"My desktop is not your desktop" actually shows a great way to explain computer stuff to less tech literate people in a way that is far enough away from computers that tehy understand.

Agree "Not A Jerk" and the crimes committed by Mother apply to the verdict. As for the tech bit about desktop, again not the jerk. Much nicer than I would have been under the same circumstances.

Put her in a retirement home

To the first story: No definitely not a jerk, I would have gave her a lease & had her signed it before moving in to the side apartment & have a clause stating that she can not enter the main house without my permission & that she has her own separate side studio apartment with everything that the main house has minus her in control of my personal space & my own family’s property. She is my mother but she is a guest who is on a lease. She doesn’t have to pay rent or anything, the only rules are don’t go into the main house without my permission. Yes you are my mother but in this house you are a guest so you stay in our guest in my separate side studio apartment.❤️💝🥳😏😜🤪🎉😂😊

9:45 LOL!😂 Love it!

The wife handled it Perfectly.

Intitled mom had no right to do this in her kid's house even if she is your mom

Just the title- just hearing it immediately cued my spidy sense I am in for an AMAZING ride like always.

I feel like she merely misunderstood the sentence:,, They look like a pice of art". If they despise them than he meant it more like "they look hilarious being mad at each other for wearing the same dress".

WOW! First story, NO he's not the jerk. The fact that he even questions whether he is speaks to how this woman has bullied him all her life.

"AM YA MOTHA" "I'm your son and have a higher fighting capability than you so leave my house or I'll beat you to next week*

Story#5: Excuse me... did your father-in-law just tell your husband that if he were more successful at his job, then maybe he could have a good-looking wife instead of an average/ugly wife, such as referring to you?!?! OH HELL NAH! I guess we see where the husband gets his manners from.

My brother made it clear, if my mother is ever in need, I am required to let her move in with me. I live in a one-bedroom apartment. My brother lives in a large 4-bedroom house. I live far away from my mother. My brother lives in the same city with her. He makes more money than I do, I still work, he is retired.

First story: that mother is obviously a human who enjoys drama. They feed of other peoples misery

Not even a little bit. That second wife was f****** hilarious.

Nah, your wife did her part perfectly; people should work entitled people over like this more often.

The Desktop one was lit

Story 1:Buy her a tv and let her move out. The mother is the jerk.

Story 1: It will be a cold day in Hell I allow ANYONE to stay in MY HOME.

The mother in the first story is not "owed" anything from her children. She should appreciate that her son provided a place for her to live - a self-contained apartment. The son's mistake was to not change the locks to his part of the house before she moved in. She has no right to his personal space and the expectedéacceotable boundaries should have been made absolutely clear at the offset. Guilt tripping someone into accepting a family member's supremacy should never be tolerated. Giving someone life does not make them your life long subservient - and sometimes "mother" is just half-a-word.

i love the voice he gave the guy in the second story. it's kinda goofy (best word i could think of) yet oddly fitting.

"Julia disowned the family. " ... Ah. A clue. 😂😂

You should have her committed because she is out of her mind.

In the last one, I've been diagnosed with manic / depression. I took my medicine every day, even though my mom called me a druggie. Sorry, Pal. If you're depressed, it's up to you to get up and get help! Put your Big Boy pants on, turn off your game and stop using your 'illness' as an excuse to not doing anything. Ruts are easy to get into. I've read the same book so many times, I'm on my 9th copy. Even my hard cover books have been read until they were in 7 pieces. But damn, Brother. You've got to assume some responsibility! If I'd been the wife in this episode, I'd have left him to wallow in his dirty clothes and go hungry until he got off his butt and did something! She's an enabler if all she does is get angry, but still does everything for him.

Are you high? NEVER. NEVER. NEVER have your mother move in! Mom, GO HOME!

Her husband wanted pictures of the two wives, even if it is a joke, it’s in poor taste now he’s demanding cover, he’s the jerk

Story 2: Sometimes you have to be an ah to an ah.

Story 1. That comment wouldn't last long before getting her thrown out

It wasn’t about the prank. It was the chauvinistic comment that made his wife upset. Of course, after the comment his dad made, it’s easy to see that the rotten apple didn’t fall far from the diseased tree.

Tech story: I can related HARD on that situation. But is worse when you had people who doesn't understand even if you explain it with sticks and stones.

Story 1. Not a Jerk. He did the right thing. Story 2. Wife was not a Jerk. Story 3. No, not a Jerk. Story 4. No, Grandpa was not a Jerk. Story 5. Wife was not a Jerk. It was one night. Story 6. Brother was not a Jerk. Grandma could have had 24 hour Nursing care from professionals. Story 7. Wife is not a Jerk.

In the second story i absolutely love how she handled it and i swear fo jesus.. i need a girl like that.... to marry

13:01)My former wife, as of 1 Juli 1981, told me to go sleep on the couch and locked the bedroom door. L knew how to unlock it. I reminded her that I paid ALL of the bills and that I sure as hell was not going to sleep on the couch. She was the reason that I got barred fromre-enlisting in the US Army.

Story 4 "It's not fare that random business didn't employ me too for a position with a single opening that I didn't want when I was offered it"

S2: Love, love, LOVE this woman!!!! I aspire to be this much of a bada$$ if ever in a similar situation!
