AITA For Refusing To Take Down My Daughter s Graduation Photo And Replace It With My Husband s Graduation Photo

Robertas Lisickis and
Saulė Tolstych
Don't deny that all those pictures you've taken of yourself, your family, your pets, your kids, your vacations, your local architecture-whatever-will be revisited at some time in the future. Chances are they'll become a pain to manage, so you'll put off sorting them, hence you'll probably return to them maybe once or twice in your entire lifetime until you run out of storage space to support this endeavor. And then they'll be buried under more piles of photos. But hanging them on the wall is definitely a solution if you want the memory to stay alive. Just make sure nobody starts threatening your mural feng shui. Speaking of which… More Info: Reddit

Hanging a picture on the wall is a sure way for the memory to stay alive Just make sure nobody starts threatening your mural feng shui

Image credits: Vladyslav Dukhin (not the actual photo) A mother of an 18-year-old high school graduate recently turned to the Am I The A-Hole community on Reddit for some perspective. The mother has proudly hung a framed picture on her living room wall, featuring her daughter at her graduation ceremony. Incidentally, her husband, the stepdad to the 18-year-old, has also had his graduation, albeit getting a Master's degree from it, fairly recently. And he also had a picture that he'd like to hand on the living room wall.

Well this wall s feng shui got threatened by a 35-year-old husband who was competing for wall space his graduation photo vs that of his stepdaughter

Image credits: Throwaway624335 But here's the problem. At first, the mother thought he'd want his picture next to the daughter. Apparently, he wanted his picture instead of the daughter's. The odd request-turned-demand was immediately questioned. Well, the husband thought that the two photos had "different weight and value"-one's for high school and the other one's for a Master's degree. But, in the mother's eyes, this did not justify the replacement. According to her, he can't just claim the entire wall, shoving the daughter's picture-which she deserves to enjoy, if anything, for encouragement-into the hallway. But he insisted. This quickly turned into a huge argument. One the mother considered a "hill" she'd die on. Also, one that she'd also share on the AITA subreddit. Since its posting a few days ago, the post received love in the form of 13,900 upvotes and a handful of Reddit awards.

Apparently the husband thought his Master s graduation photo has more weight and value than that of his stepdaughter s high school grad photo

Image credits: Throwaway624335 Image credits: Stanley Morales (not the actual photo) Right off the bat, folks voted that OP's not the jerk here, with the top-rated comment, coming in at 31,100 upvotes, suggesting OP hang the husband's picture over the toilet "where his attitude belongs." Others took a jab at the husband's fragile masculinity, and were just surprised by how he blatantly was against having a "family wall" altogether, pointing at other possible issues in the family dynamic.

Folks online were having none of it asking if the husband is really 35 because his behavior makes him look 12

OP spent some time responding to commenters, where we also discover that this isn't the first incident they've had. The husband is also critical of the daughter's food, saying he's not into vegan food, but she really loves to cook and that has caused a problem in the past. Folks were suggesting to be realistic about it and said the beloved Master's degree didn't do much for the husband if he's acting like that. Whatever the case, you can check out the now-viral post here with all of the responses intact.

Her graduation picture on that wall is her mom's way of saying, "Way to go, great job! I'm so proud of you!" - Husband is a loser and things are only going to get worse. Never stay with a person who is blantantly / unashamefully disrespectful to your child(ren), it'll bite you in the a*s down the road. 50 50points reply Yettichild Yettichild Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago As a kid who's mother always put her husband first (and told me her husband would always come before her children), I can tell you it is very damaging mentally. I'm very LC with her, and now she wonders why. She isn't married at the moment, which is why she's bothering to try to talk to me at all. 34 34points reply Load More Replies... Sydney Smith Sydney Smith Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I'm sorry that happened to you, you didn't deserve that BS. What happened to this wonderful POS husband? Divorced? Better yet, dead? Please don't let her suck you back in while she's inbetween men - she'll break your heart all over again as soon as someone with a penis pays attention to her. I'm sure it is hard not to respond if she calls / comes by - even though she's just using you for attention until another man comes along - but try to keep her at arms length. At least you know everything NOT TO DO when / if you ever have kids - unless you want to be childless, then don't let anyone change your mind - you do you, you should be the most important person to you because you matter. 16 16points reply Yettichild Yettichild Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Thanks. Her last husband cheated on her, so they divorced. And at the time she called me often to complain about it. I won't be having kids, but one of my sisters has a child, so mom is more interested in talking to her, which is fine by me except I don't want my sister to suffer either. My sister is too nice to put up hard barriers, but tries to talk to her as little as possible. 15 15points reply LittleWombat LittleWombat Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago My ex-husband's mother was like this too. She only needed his attention when she was between marriages or boyfriends (4 marriages, umpteen bfs). It messed him up a lot. And messed up our marriage too. Now she's single and back in his life, but I'm out of it. He always put me on the back burner when mom came back for attention. It's hard to grow out of those damaging tendencies and I doubt he ever will. So sad for everyone. I'm so sorry you went through this in your life and hope you can keep yourself at a safe distance from her so you don't get hurt again. 11 11points reply CL Rowan CL Rowan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Tell her she can go screw herself~~you can even tell her *I* said she is an a*****e who is undeserving of anything so precious as a CHILD. 10 10points reply Cecily Holland Cecily Holland Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago He needs to grow the hell up 34 34points reply CL Rowan CL Rowan Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago He won't. 11 11points reply Load More Replies...
