Daughter Scolds Absent Father For Having Too Many Kids

You know it's a problem when your own daughter tells you to stop procreating.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Overall_Butterfly_16, who shared her story about her extremely dysfunctional family situation. Essentially, she and her older sister are often held responsible for babysitting and taking care of their four younger siblings. Their stepmother is struggling with a disability and a difficult divorce, so she's in need of extra help. Their Dad? Well, he's just working and staying away from home while his two older daughters - both of whom have kids of their own, we should mention - clean up after him.

The Redditors in the comments seem to be in agreement that the original poster needs to move out ASAP. Not even ASAP. Yesterday! These sisters need to draw boundaries and never feel bad about them. Essentially, they need to quiet quit these "responsibilities," and their father needs to either actually quit his job or hire a real nanny if he wants to keep having kids. Which leads me to the next question: why have so many kids if you can barely be around for two? Is he trying to be the subject of the next Cheaper by the Dozen remake? I mean, that's the only logical explanation, right?
