To Protect or to Punish: Mom’s Heartbreaking Choice
Our mom is caught between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, she wants to protect her kids from the lice and roaches that seem to follow her ex’s girlfriend. On the other hand, she doesn’t want to deprive her kids of their father’s love and presence. Is it fair for her to keep her kids away from their dad until he addresses his girlfriend’s cleanliness issues? Or should she risk her kids’ health and well-being for the sake of their relationship with their father? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
NTA, kids deserve clean environment. Dad needs to clean house.
NTA: Dad’s roach-infested house is a danger to the kids
“NTA
I wouldn’t want to send them, either. That is a huge hygiene issue. The lice thing is bad enough. However, if the roaches are so bad that they are hitch hiking home with the kids/their things, then that must be one h**l of an infestation. I don’t mean to scare you but breathing that stuff in can cause respiratory issues among other things. So if the kids have been sick after a visit with dad, that wouldn’t surprise me. Be sure to document everything.” – Concerned about kids’ health and hygiene
NTA: Roach-infested house poses health risks. Chemicals and asthma concerns.

Are the lice and roaches from her? Or just coincidence?

️ Bugs in the house: a minor inconvenience or a serious concern?
Who’s really to blame? The girlfriend or the babydaddy?

YTA and overreacting. Bugs are everywhere, blame not justified. ♀️
