A college girl goes home to study during the day, but when her stepdad works from home, he constantly asks her to clean up after him. Fair? Or Gosh, no?
Recently a Redditor came to the threads to find out if she was being fair to her husband, who expects his step-daughter to clean up after him because she’s studying while he is working.
The original poster (OP) began by sharing that her daughter, who is in college and lives full time on campus, often comes home to study because it’s quiet in the house during the day as no one has been there because both she and her husband have full-time jobs that require them to be out of the house all day.
However, her husband recently got a new job that allows him to work from home full time, but because he works on a computer all day it is still quiet in the house, so her daughter still comes home to study.
OP said that her husband and his stepdaughter (OP’s biological daughter) get along and have a good relationship. She said they have respected each other’s space, and there have been no issues until recently.
OP told her daughter not to clean up after any more of his messes, to focus on her studying, and that she would speak with her husband. After this, OP came home to a messy table after her husband had not cleaned up after his lunch.
She questioned him why the table was a mess, and he responded that her daughter should’ve cleaned it up because he asked her to and that he was called away for an urgent meeting.
Redditors were quick to respond to this dirty dish dilemma.
One Redditor responded, “Wow, NTA, your husband is being very sexist and entitled. Why should your daughter clean up HIS mess? That’s crazy!!”
