This is Intergalactic John.

And this is Alien Sam on the International OK Storytime podcast station.

And we have some human stories coming up, not alien.

But before we make a landing, stick around for this two-minute, not alien ad break, before we get to these interstellar stories.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

I told my dad to dump his girlfriend because they ruined my peace.

Tell her to peace out.

For context, my father is dating a younger woman who openly wants to have kids.

He has three adult children and also openly doesn't want anymore.

Some time ago, they decided to wait a few years to see if

either of them would change their minds about it. Otherwise, they'd break up. I told my father,

it was a bad idea, but he didn't care. By the way, this comes from user Dad's girlfriend

throwaway. And to introduce myself, I'm Keon. I'm Carly. And I'm Sophia. So let's get into

On Saturday, I stopped by my father's place to pick up some of my old stuff. When I got there, he was having an argument with his girlfriend. They said it had to do with my baby. So they explained it to me. My father's girlfriend wanted him to turn either the guest bedroom or the home office into a nursery to make it easier for them to babysit my child. My father didn't want to get rid of either.

I tried to be polite about it at first. I told them I wasn't planning on having them babysit,

and I probably wouldn't use their hypothetical nursery when there was a perfectly good one over at my place.

But my father's girlfriend said they had been waiting so long for there to finally be a baby in the family,
