Parenting is a super-challenging job, so we totally get when exhausted parents need to take a break. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, an overwhelmed dad just wanted to enjoy a slice of cake in his car without being bombarded by his kids and having to share with the rest of the family. Because parents rarely get a moment of peace and quiet, OP's wife caught him in the act and called him dramatic for feeling the need to hide from the rest of the family in order to eat. Come on, mama - we know you have done the same at some point and just never got caught. Scroll down for the Redditors' hilarious response to this wholesome parenting story.

    Font - AITA for eating cake in my car so I didn't have to share with my wife and kids? I acknowledge, as a father and husband, that a lot of things that were singularly mine before just aren't. Wife steals my clothes, wife and kids steal my food, kids steal my phone, I'm fine with it (most of the time), but I just needed one thing to myself without hurting feelings and making someone cry because everybody is sensitive in this house..including me.

    Parenting is rough, pops. We get it.

    Font - I bought a single-serve piece of cake and ate it in my car without any wife sneaking bits or kids licking the chocolate from the top. Unfortunately got caught, wife is upset with me for going so far as to eat cake while hiding in my car and called me dramatic when I told her my reasoning. Am I?

    OP's wife has probably done the same at one point, let's be real.

    Font - carrieblue87·6 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [22] Yes, because you only bought a single slice. Next time get a whole ducking cake and enjoy every minute of eating it in the car. Kidding. NTA. Eat your cake.

    Font - anon974578954 · 6 hr. ago NTA I have a toddler and resorted to eating a couple of donuts in my bedroom closet while she was distracted. Yeah, it's expected to share stuff every now and again when you have a family but all the time? Nope.

    Font - lc_2005 · 6 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [21] NTA - Have your cake. Next time, I'd enjoy it somewhere nice though, like the park or beach if you're near one. Not because of the hiding but to increase the level of relaxation in the bit of alone time.
