Hey, Hey Waffle gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more.

I'm I the but whole mixed relationships too. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider

him that like, that subscriber, and maybe that notification bell too. And if you do love a podcast,

we got that as well. Links all down

in the description. And with that being said, let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys.

Now, today's first story comes from Resident Put 3606, who says, am I the arseol for letting my dad

live the way he wants, and of course comes with an update as well.

I 40 male have a father 62 male but likes to live a very simple and secluded life.

After my mom had an affair and divorced him to run away with a younger man, he's been very

closed off.

When we were a year into the pandemic he asked me if he could build a sub-building

on the back of my property and live in it. I bought the property my grandparents owned and there

are six acres with some trees. You can't even see where my dad built his little cabin. It's really

just a modified Home Depot shed he's made into his own little house. He's got power via a line

run from my house but also keeps a generator for when he needs it. And his little building only

has the basic necessities. And above all, it's quiet. He spends his spare time in there reading

or watching DVDs when he's not outworking. He drives trucks for a living and my mom took a chunk of his retirement when they divorced.

So he's decided to live a minimalist life in a quiet place.

He has a wood stove he uses for heat, keeps food cold in a small fridge, cooks everything

with either a microwave or propane, built his own composting toilet and gets his water from a hose line that comes directly from our well.

He's got a cell phone that works fine down there as well, so he's not completely off the grid.

I leave him alone 90% of the time because it's that piece that he treasures now.
