Now, today's first story comes from public set 7296 and is titled,

Am I the asshole for taking my daughter out of dance because of her mother ruining it for her?

My wife is very competitive and I do admire her drive for that but it seems like the pushback

between her and the instructor has caused a lot of tension in the

class.

This has caused the other moms to get mad when my wife would bring up how their daughters

were being treated in comparison to ours, and now the entire experience is ruined for our

daughter.

Since the other moms don't like my wife, they no longer invite our daughter to play dates

and other outings, which the girls talk about

in class, and it makes my daughter come home to me and cry about how she wants to go on play

dates again with her friends. I spoke to my wife about it, and she said that she will make
