As someone with Celiac, the fact that they thought of them to order something specifically for the step-daughter, definitely a respectful and thoughtful thing for sure! This way, the step-daughter can be 100% certain she is comfortable.

[huh]

I’m Muslim and also have food allergies. The fact that op went out of her way to accommodate the niece warmed my heart. Seriously, what she did was amazing. I would’ve been over the moon if someone did that for me

Final story: "If you've already heard this, you can skip it."

No, rSlash, the reason you have the highest subscriber base among the "reads Reddit YouTube channels" is because we absolutely love the *way* you read stories and your comments on them. If I come across a story you read on another channel, I may skip it. If I heard it somewhere else, I will 100% of the time re-listen to your version *just* for the tone and commentary. You're very good at this, Mr. Demon Hunter.

The "I'm a pilot!" husband deserves all the flack, but I think there is something deeper going on with him. He feels so incredibly insecure and apparently shamed of his day job that it's affecting his life now. I hope he sees the reason and seeks professional help before he ends up alone. Because that sort of insecurity grinds even the most patient spouse down and they don't want to sink with that ship.

[amylister]

I have heard the last story before but stuck around for it. The audacity and entitlement of OP calling himself a pilot because "I play Flight Sim". I have earned the title of pilot by getting MY PILOT LICENCE.

[raidernation]

Last story: no matter how much someone knows about the law, if they've never passed a bar exam, they're not a lawyer. Until op gets his pilots license, he's NOT A FCKN PILOT.

[ejgutierrez]

The bit in the last story where he tells his wife's boss that she's "often forgetful but he must already know that from working with her" absolutely sends me each time. He isn't just delusional, he's also actively putting down his wife to her BOSS

[jacob_stark]

As someone who has a wheat allergy, the way that the op in the second story handled the food situation was great. It just feels good when you are having a meal with family/friends, and the host remembers your allergy and accommodates it the best they can.

[hunnibear]

I think the way OP handled the food allergies was perfect. OP knew that with their ADHD and then girl's severe reactions to certain things, wanted to make sure there was no cross contamination that could happen, as well as not wanting to risk messing up the niece's food by mistake since it was something OP was not familiar with, I think was absolutely amazing. OP wanted to make sure that the little girl would be able to enjoy the meal with everyone and not be left out, so went out of their way to make sure she had something specifically for her. The parents are the buttholes in that story, not OP.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy demon hunting schedule to read us these stories.

Food sensitivities can be hard and if you’re not comfortable making something for someone with severe food allergies it’s best to seek out people who do it all the time and there’s no fear of cross contamination period.

Okay, so, regarding the second story. I am a Culinary Student, so I can help provide information. What OP did was one of the best options I've ever heard. She made the accommodation by going to a restaurant that can make food for her dietary restriction. That is one of the best ways to handle it. Sure, OP could have used something like almond flour and almond milk as substitutes (Both dairy and gluten free, if not almost flour than gluten-free flour, but I wouldn't go there with how expensive it is) but, did she know to use those? Probably not. So, OP did what I would say is a very reasonable response. She didn't exclude the girl! OP made proper accommodations with what knowledge she had. 0/5 buttholes, and that's from a Culinary Student!

Second story: As a person who has a severe allergy to peanuts. I commend OP for trying her best. She took precautions to make absolutely sure that nothing would harm the kid.

[SharkFreak]

As someone with a food sensitivity, I'm always happy if someone accommodates my food needs, whether it's home cooked or not! If they aren't comfortable cooking without certain ingredients, it's much better just to purchase a product they know is safe for me!

[greenelf]

Second Story: NTA. I have severe food allergies and also have ADHD. If someone wasn't confident that they could keep me safe and still went out of their way to ensure I could eat food with the rest of the group, I would be incredibly grateful and feel very loved. It means they thought about the needs of everyone in the group and ordered something specifically to keep everyone happy and safe and cared enough to spend extra to do so.

[AstoundingAmelia]

second story: as someone with ADHD myself I agree with OP, she recognised her limits in handling a dietary requirement and made arrangements to safely accommodate the other person

[jackier]

Second story: If Greg and Cheryl wanted OP to have their daughter included with the meal so badly, why didn’t they help her out? They could have gone over and helped cook their kids meal separately from OP’s regular meals, or they could’ve showed her how to substitute different ingredients properly so that way everybody can eat the same thing. What OP did was probably one of the best options, and it’s not like their daughter was left out of anything, she wasn’t out at her own table, she still ate with everybody else! Cheryl and Greg made a big deal out of nothing and they were the ones to bring down the mood, not OP.

For the last story, what he's talking about having done, that's STEP ONE of getting a pilots license. Every decent training would include simulations before having you actually log flight hours. The actually flying part is where you become a pilot, dealing with sudden turbulent winds, having to track your flight number and getting permission from flight towers, and a bunch of other stuff I frankly don't know about, that's actual pilot work. Otherwise clearly I'm a qualified space marine.

"I don't have a pilot's license and have never once flown a plane, but I'm a pilot." Sure, Sparky. And if I keep watching enough episodes of Law & Order I can claim to be a lawyer.

[owl]

Story 2: This is a very classic example of kids seriously not caring unless the parents make a fuss about it. She straight up is not bothered by the fact that her food is different, the only way she'd be upset is if they make her believe it's something she should be upset about.

[karendebbiejohnson]

The third story just pissed me off. Those parents didn't even see OP as an individual, but as a free maid, babysitter, and housekeeper! OP works hard for his money, what he does with it is his business, no one else's. Good on him for moving out! Maybe then, his siblings and parents will learn to appreciate what they had. Let them complain! If the siblings hate it so much to have more chores, then they can move out once they are 18.
