| 0:00.0 | Welcome to R-slash, a podcast where I read the best post from across Reddit. |
| 0:04.0 | Today's subreddit is R-slash in my The Butthole, where a 16-year-old girl refuses to be her father's |
| 0:09.8 | replacement wife. Am I the butthole for telling my dad that I'm not his replacement wife? |
| 0:15.6 | I'm a 16-year-old girl, and my mom passed away recently. My brother, who's 14, and my dad |
| 0:22.1 | are so devastated by this tragic loss, and we're struggling. I've basically found myself handling |
| 0:28.7 | all the chores and work around the house. My brother is too traumatized. He hasn't been talking |
| 0:33.4 | since the funeral, and my dad hasn't been lifting a finger to do a single thing. He started making |
| 0:39.3 | requests from cleaning the messy living room, to picking up dirty laundry, to doing dishes, cooking |
| 0:45.2 | and ordering food, walking the dogs, vacuuming, doing repairs, mowing the lawn, washing the car, |
| 0:51.2 | etc. My brother has stopped doing his chores, and I'm getting so exhausted. |
| 0:56.7 | Mom used to do all the chores, and I used to help, but I have school and after school commitments, |

| 1:07.3 | like how long it takes me to make breakfast, etc. Yesterday, he woke me up at 6am, and even though |
| 1:13.8 | he told me to skip school, he wanted me to make him breakfast. I made some scrambled eggs and |
| 1:19.2 | prepared some other dishes, and then went to wake up my brother. I set the table, and once my dad sat |
| 1:24.9 | down, he looked at the scrambled eggs and said, what is this? This isn't the right way to make scrambled |
| 1:30.8 | eggs. Your mother used to make perfect scrambled eggs. Did you not learn anything from her at all? |
| 1:37.1 | How are we supposed to survive if you can't even properly make scrambled eggs? He looked at my brother |
| 1:42.4 | and said, we're doomed. I snapped, and loudly told him that I am not his replacement wife, |
| 1:49.3 | and he can't expect me to do all these chores for him. He looked at me stunned, and my brother |
| 1:54.6 | left the room. My dad started telling me how cruel and insensitive I was, and how out of line I was. |
| 2:01.2 | I replied that I was too tired to make the perfect scrambled eggs, and maybe if he is a parent |
