@bysarby_: react to the stories live with me on Twitch: bysarby | AITAH for making my wife do all the chores since she used the chore money for herself. #sarby
He payed for a job to be done, the job has to be done and not by him. Let's face it she took the money, she does the work.

Never ever marry someone until you've lived with them. I cannot stress this enough.

So he gave her money with the understanding that the job would be taken care of. Her response was to take it and expect him to take care of it? why?

She should’ve just be honest and asked him for some spending money. He’s obviously ok with that.

Ok but it’s so cute that he 1) made sure his house keeper still has a regular gig and 2) told us so we wouldn’t worry.

Also he already offered her money with no counterpart to pay for the student loan so it's not like he is stingy...

Ultimately she shouldn’t have dismissed the shoveller and volunteered OP to do the task without so much as mentioning it to him, especially when there’s money and deadlines involved. If she’d approached him prior this could’ve all been handled

The thing I'm hungry up on is they she took the money. OP set it up so that he could pay to not do labor and with how it sounds he was still losing the money and expected to do labor

They can't just take the money then expect op to do it. Like these duties were established, and she knew what she was getting by asking for that. If she wants spending money, that's a separate conversation

This is him communicating and being firm with his boundaries. If anything because my father did this you have to is just as bad as telling your wife but my mother did it this way.

Nta. Not needing to do anything around the house is a dream for anyone. Especially if your husband pays for it so you also don’t need to do it.

he said "I will pay to get this done because I don't want to do it", she said "give me the money, I'll take care of it", and then tried to make him do the job that he specified he was giving her the money to get someone to do for him.

She took the shovelling money for herself like she did for the cleaning the food budget so like that stuff it is then on her. He still technically paid for it

He’s been clear about things since day 1. I don’t see anything wrong with it.She wanted the ‘labor’’money for herself so it’s safe to say that she gotta do the work.She’s the AH.

she wanted to take the money while feeling like she earned it (instead of taking a "handout" to pay her student loans) but she ALSO doesn't want to do the job of 3 people
greed

as someone who was a kid selling chicken eggs when I was little I feel really bad for this kid, I was always saving up for something when I sold my chicken eggs the fact that she told him no don’t shovel the driveway and kept the money for herself just irks me, because she has no clue what that kid is saving up for. Let me make this clear kids are not shoveling snow for the sheer fun of it. They’re doing it to save up money to buy something they really want. And she kept it for herself. That’s what I don’t like. It was budgeted for this kid to come and shovel your driveway. It should’ve gone back into the bank account, but she kept it for herself. Thankfully, you made her earn it. I like that.

If you can afford to pay someone and you dont want to do the things you want to pay someone to do, then you pay them to be done. It's OK. It's not OK to take the money and say you will do those things and NOT do thise things because you don't want to do them.

If he gets injured he cant work, he stated that in the post and to her. So her expecting him to do it is wrong. She cancelled the yard cleaner and kept the money so SHE does it

KayKay :
in the beginning of the Reddit story, he says that he leaves his job for 14 days, but also in that he also says that it’s also very physically demanding so it makes sense that he would not shovel the snow because he's already exhausted

Good for the kid having so many extra clients that he can just say no to someone.

he sounds perfect! I like doing a bit of housework but I too am lazy and if I could afford to pay for someone to do it for me I would

nope NTA, he pays for it because he doesn't want to donit. She wants to keep the money for herself then she gets to do it herself.

He paid her to do a job so she should do it, she can’t just expect to pocket the money for free
