OP shares their experience of living in a household where their father is the main breadwinner, and their mother is a stay-at-home mom responsible for household chores. The father frequently complains about various things after coming home from work, leading to daily arguments with the mother. The eldest child, feeling exhausted by the situation, tries to talk to their father about his behavior but doesn’t succeed in getting through to him.
In an attempt to make their father understand how his behavior affects the family, the teenager decides to impersonate their father’s actions. They pick a day and dress up to look like their father, loudly complaining about the state of the house and mimicking their father’s common phrases. While the rest of the family finds humor in the act, the father feels hurt and disrespected, choosing to avoid speaking with the teenager after the incident.
Now OP wants to know whether he is an A-hole for showing his dad how he behaves around the house every day when he gets back home after work. Make sure to read it till the end only then, you would be able to address whether OP is an A-hole or not.
1. OP’s father is the main breadwinner and OP’s mother is a housewife, but at the end of the day OP’s father complains about everything when he gets home from work.
2. Due to this OP has to listen to daily arguments between him and OP’s mom, and OP thinks his dad is wrong here. He has tried to approach him to tell his behavior towards Mom is not right but it all goes in vain.
3. OP came up with a plan which was to act like him, complaining and shouting at the state of the house. OP’s dad glanced at OP and he was confused and asked OP what he was doing
4. This is hilarious and effective at the same time but not according to OP’s father point of view
