'I HATE My Husband's Dog! AITA?' Matt Walsh Decides

are you guys even listening to me okay it's time for some uh Mi the a-hole quandries this is from Craig says Dear Matt I have been watching you for years but still can't call you Sweet Daddy sorry well then you are I mean you're already the a-hole we already know what the answer is uh I recently came home from the store with some blueberries my daughter immediately asked for them and wanted me to wash them for her something my wife requires of all produce that comes from the store I didn't want to so I told my daughter that I didn't need to because blueberries are naturally antimicrobial of course my wife Came Upon her munching the unwashed blueberries and is now mad at me reacting like I force fed my daughter raw chicken or something to not lose face in front of my daughter I simply handed my wife a blueberry and asked her to point to the offending microbe when she couldn't immediately do it I claimed Victory and retained the title of most scientifically sound parent in my home in my Viejo not for that I think that's sound that's that's pretty good science I think it's science of course the way you started the email is one so you are because of that but on this particular issue anyway uh that's just science and look I know they said you know people yeah some people are pretty diligent and obsessive about hey you gotta wash all the produce I I don't you know it's not going to kill you it's not going to kill you or maybe it will I don't know how do you know but that's always been that's my health guidance is that you know if you do something you eat something it doesn't kill you on the spot that's probably fine this is why I'm not a nutritionist Susie says hi Matt my husband and I have three very young daughters and he also has a teenage boy and girl with an ex-wife he and his ex-wife have a contentious relationship and their kids live with her and their stepfather in a different state I've only met his kids a handful of times and didn't have any relationship with them his ex-wife does not help to Foster any relationship between him and the kids but now that the teenage boy is displaying behavioral issues she wants him to come live with his father naturally my husband wants to have him move in with us I told my husband that this is not an option as we have three young children we're raising and I don't think it's fair to disrupt their lives in that way I'm also extremely uncomfortable with a troubled teenage boy who uh who my children do not know suddenly living in a home with them I barely know the boy and my husband works all the time so I would also be responsible for caring for him a majority of the time my husband says that he understands that it's a lot to ask of me but he thought I'd be more supportive I would never do anything to jeopardize my daughter say your stability so I will not permit his son to live with us the boys being raised by two parents who are well off and he also has his sister with him I believe they're the ones who need to deal with his behavioral issues but I also feel a measure of guilt because of the pain the situation causes my husband am I the a-hole uh I can tell you the a-hole but I think you are wrong I think you are wrong and this is some of this is the unwinnable lose-lose situation that is created by divorce I get emails like this all the time for this segment and other segments and uh it's like it's always you know it's like a long story about the husband's divorce my wife's divorced here's what's going on in the family Nick's family and a lot of problems what's the way through this what's the solution well there is no perfect solution it's just when when families are broken apart it creates a lot of lose-lose situations it creates a lot of situations where there is no great answer and this is one of them but I will say that that is his son his responsibility to his son and uh I don't think you can tell a man I don't think you can tell your husband that he can't have his son live with him now I I know this is again this goes to the unwinnable situation where you guys are married he has a child and you don't care at all about the child um it seems fair to characterize it that way that's why it's so much easier when families stay together because then you you share the children and hopefully you have a mutual love and concern for the children but here you know you don't have that but yet that is his son that's his child that's his boy so no I don't I don't I don't think you can tell I don't think it's right to tell your husband that he can't have his own son be in his house with him what's the biggest summer secret to a great looking glowing summer complexion it's having great skincare products from our friends at genu sale you know

dear sweet daddy my two kids my wife and I were headed up North for a day of skiing after two hours in the car my wife had to stop and use the restroom at a gas station we stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere they had eight pumps with one person gassing up and zero cars to be seen for at least a mile the ground was covered in 10 inches of fresh snow so I pulled up to the 12-foot section of cleared pavement uh to allow my wife to get inside without walking in 10 inches of snow I then parked in the nearest spot that was handicapped so that when she came out she wouldn't have to walk in the snow for the record there were two handicapped spots on either side of the 12-foot cleared pavement the gas station attendant about my same age then comes out and starts screaming at me demanding that I prove that I'm handicapped I responded with what difference does it make who am I blocking from parking in the spot he screams and shouts it doesn't matter you're not handicapped I continue to sit there stare them down and refuse to move as we drive away he literally jumps and shouts you entitled people don't come back did he shake his fist as well tell me he shook his fist don't you dare come back why yeah as we got back on the freeway we all laughed at it and I used it as a teaching opportunity to tell my kids not to be scared of people like that and use common sense it has now become a memorable funny family story uh no no not at all not at all I mean first of all I would have responded to the guy okay first of all it handicap is not the you know it's disabled or not even disabled what is it what's the what's the term of art now I don't even think it's disabled it's definitely not handicapped can't say that anymore I'm not handicapped there I'm sorry differently uh advantaged so I would responded by saying I'm offended that you're using that you're using the H word okay don't speak to me that way but this is yeah some people are are yes look taking up a handicap spot uh and going into to Walmart because you don't feel like walking farther and then someone who is actually disabled can't access it that makes you a giant jerk for sure but this idea that like no one else is around and you can't even just park there real quick so that you're so as you say your wife can go in without having to strip on the snow and in the ice um that that's that's absurd it's like there's as you said you're not stopping anyone from using the the spot there's nobody around this is not an issue you're not preventing it you're not doing anything you're not causing any harm to anybody um but it's what on some weird principle that even though there's nobody else around you can't be in the magic spots I also think in general when you've got a snowstorm situation and there's snow all over the place then the rules of the parking lot change and at that point it's kind of like I've always thought it's sort of every man for himself at that point like there's not you know you can't even see where the spots are there are not a lot of places you can go um and you got to kind of just pull up where you can because there's nowhere else to be it seems like that's the situation you were in this situation where you have to choose between being a good husband and taking care of your wife so that she doesn't slip and trip on the snow when she has to use the bathroom uh so you can you know be be a good respectful husband or you can respect the handicap spot even though there's nobody around so you had to choose between those two things and I think in that case you choose correctly finally from Anonymous I am a stay-at-home mom to a four-month-old baby my life is perfect except one problem I hate my husband's dog it is a seven-year-old dog he got before we met I do 100 of the housework which I'm not complaining about I love taking care of the house and my husband my problem is I have to take care of the dog too he barks and wakes my baby he's constantly shedding I hate the dog hair on my socks so I have to vacuum daily I have more reasons but I know you just want me to get to the point my husband owns a company so he's way too busy to take care of the dog am I the a-hole if I re-home the dog simply because I hate it uh no you are absolutely not at all you are singing my my tune here I'm in a very similar situation in fact except roles are reversed with the dog in that case and uh no look people are gonna like me saying this get rid of the dog give the dog to you know if you find someone who wants the dog and it'll be fine if you're under no obligation to be miserable for the sake of a dog and and you take priority over the freaking dog your baby takes priority over the dog so yes that's how I feel you know they could they can there's going to be the the Pitchfork mob outside of my my door for this but um a perfectly valid reason to get rid of a pet is that it's making your life difficult and it's it's not fun to have the pet like having a pet is supposed to be fun it gets to a point where it's just not fun anymore and it's nothing but a burden and it's annoying all the time um you can be miserable for no apparent reason or you can't give the animal to somebody who wants the animal your mother and I have been thinking about giving the puppies away no you know what you know something the dog will be fine the dog will really be fine the dog will bond with a new owner and he'll forget all about the old owners he just will because he's a dog I know you think that uh the dog is bonded to me for life and no not really the dog can go somewhere else and forget that you've ever ever existed because he's a dog and that's the way it goes all right many will disagree many will say that you are Diego and that I am for everything that we've talked about just now but you and I we know the truth uh and we'll leave it there for today that's how I roll [Music] how much
