“YTA, another parent that chooses their partner over their child.”

“YTA Your daughter is right and you’re enabling an entitled person. She’s victimizing herself while treating others like garbage.”

“YTA. Your daughter is right. If your girlfriend can’t treat the staff properly then she need not go out to eat. Going out to eat is a privilege, not a right. And you are in love after four weeks? Well, your kid isn’t in love. Your girlfriend made a bad impression. And since your child is in your care for the next six years it sounds like you need to rethink the relationship.”
