| 0:00.0 | Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. |
| 0:05.9 | My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories and if you do love |
| 0:10.2 | a Reddit story, why not consider? |
| 0:11.7 | And I'll like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. |
| 0:15.6 | And let's crack on with today's first story. |
| 0:18.9 | Much love guys. |
| 0:19.9 | Now today's first story comes from Unconventional Mum |
| 0:22.5 | from the Am I the asshole here? Subreddit. And it says, am I the asshole for telling husband |

| 1:13.4 | However, my son isn't just mine, and technically this is part of his family's tradition |
| 1:18.2 | on his father's side, so I don't know. |
| 1:21.3 | I told him if he does do it, I will be angry, and that he needs to tell his family |
| 1:25.1 | they aren't allowed to do it themselves either. I'm telling him again tonight to remind him no, because I heard him talking about buying two |
| 1:32.3 | cakes, a small one for just the baby, and I don't understand why we would do that unless he was going to try. |
