| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out |
| 0:06.3 | some more Reddit stories and if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider, hit that like, |
| 0:11.5 | subscribe, maybe that notification bell too and let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, |
| 0:18.2 | guys. Now today's first story comes from Dad in Dilemma 10, who says, |
| 0:23.1 | would I be the asshole for telling my son to not wear his favorite jacket anymore because |
| 0:28.8 | it looks gay. I'm a single dad to my son, Oliver 10 male. He's with me most of the time and |
| 0:37.0 | he sees his mom every other weekend. He's an awesome kid. He's with me most of the time and he sees his mom every other weekend. |
| 0:39.8 | He's an awesome kid, creative, full of energy, and he's got his own sense of style that's pretty |
| 0:45.2 | unique. He loves bright colors, nail polish and clothes that some people might think |
| 0:50.8 | are more girly. If I'm honest, I think Oliver might be gay, and I'm totally |
| 0:56.3 | cool with that. I've always made it clear that whoever he turns out to be, I'll support him 100%. |
| 1:02.4 | Because of how he dresses and acts, Oliver's had a really tough time with other kids. He got |
| 1:08.6 | bullied so badly at his old school that I ended up pulling him out |
| 1:11.9 | and homeschooling him. The school wasn't helpful at all and it was heartbreaking to see him go through |
| 1:17.6 | that. He struggled to make friends and it kills me to see him feel so alone. Now he's starting |
| 1:25.1 | back at school in September and he's really excited about it. |
| 1:30.6 | But recently, we're at a cousin's birthday party, and Oliver wore his favorite jacket, which |
| 1:35.2 | is a bright pink, sparkly one that he loves. Some of the other kids started picking on him |
| 1:40.5 | saying he looked gay. I stepped in, got the kids to apologize, but it ruined the day |
| 1:46.5 | for Oliver. I'm worried about how things will go when he's back at school. I've been thinking |
| 1:51.9 | about whether I should talk to Oliver about maybe turning it down a bit, especially when he's |
| 1:56.7 | around new people. Not because I want him to change who he is, but because I hate seeing him get hurt and feel like an outcast. I don't want him to feel like he has to hide who he is, but I also don't want him to be picked on or excluded because of it. But then I feel like a complete asshole for even thinking about this. I don't want him to think that I'm ashamed of him or that |
