Man Goes to Reddit Asking If He’s An AH for Asking to be Paid for Babysitting His Own Daughter, Gets Roasted for Pushing Wife Into the Arms of Their Neighbour

If there's one thing Redditors hate, it's parents that call taking care of their children "babysitting". If you ever take a childcare issue to Reddit and refer to it as babysitting, you're in for a roasting.

And when you "babysit" your child so another man can take your wife out to the movies and fancy dinners instead of you? Prepare to be incinerated.

Such was the case of OP, who wondered if he was the a$$hole for asking to be paid to watch his daughter and the neighbor's daughters while the neighbor showed his wife a good time.

The initial reason for the neighbor and wife hanging out made sense—OP's wife loves horror films, OP can't stand them, the neighbor enjoys them as well. But when the neighbor upped his game and started taking the wife out for fancy dinners and paying for them, OP should have set a hard boundary.

Instead, OP used this as an excuse to absolve himself of any couple activities since going out with said neighbor kept his wife fully satisfied (we, and every commentator on this post, bet she is).

OP has been met with a barrage of criticism and a few raised eyebrows, and a unanimous YTA vote.
