[gentle music] Hey, Waffle Gang. I do hope you're well. My name is Mark, and today we're checking out some more Reddit stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider hitting that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell, too, and let's crack on with today's first story. Much love, guys. Now, today's first story comes from Throwaway Life Skills, who says, "My 23 female boyfriend, 24 male, wants to move in with me. I want him to live alone first. My boyfriend and I have been together 10 months. He lives with his parents, 50s male and female, and younger brothers, 10, 16, 18. No sisters. For current events, he was over at my place basically every night. A couple of nights ago he said that he wants to move in with me if I'm up for it. I've been to his place more than once, and I've seen how their dynamic works. His mother does everything for all five men in that house: cooking, cleaning, the works. Basically, all they have to do is put their laundry away after she washes, dries, irons, and folds it. The reason the parents aren't forcing them to contribute is that this was the parents' agreement. He works, she stays at home, so she raises the kids/runs the household, and he pays for everything, with one of the clauses being that as she's doing everything, there's no need to involve the boys. As a result, my boyfriend cannot do anything.
