• 🎯 The man became angry and called OP a butthole, but OP felt justified in preventing the widow from being ripped off.

Supermarket Cashier Defense

Daughter's Friend Trip

• ✈️ OP took her daughter and three friends to NYC for her birthday, with clear rules about walking and preparedness.
• 📱 One friend, Leah, complained about the walking, boredom due to phone signal issues, and refused to participate in activities.

Disparities in Co-Parenting

• ⚖️ OP's ex-wife is upset that OP's two sons (9 and 11) have more material possessions and experiences than her children with her new husband.

• 🚫 OP believes he is not obligated to provide for his ex-wife's children, as they are not his responsibility, and his sons do not wish to include them.
• 🗣️ The ex-wife called OP's actions disgusting and lacking concern for the other children.
