My daughter's professor is accusing her of using AI to write a creative writing assignment I helped her write. Do I chat with him?

6 Upvotes

FINAL UPDATE: A few hours ago, I had shared with my daughter a suggestion by one of the reddit commenters below to submit the original as well as the edits. Apparently, that process was part of the required assignment. She provided her professor with the notes I typed and disclosed the process INCLUDING my involvement in it (he LOLed it) as well as the outline for what her original plot was going to entail about two weeks ago. He approved it. She submitted a plot change when she edited it and received approval on it. These were in simple paragraph formats and were not given to the professor in a rough draft format. His reason for rejecting the final draft was that he felt it exceeded what he anticipated would be the final submission, which generally only happens when students utilize AI. However, after he reviewed her 30-minute proof assignment, he not only accepted the first assignment and gave her 98% on it but also accepted her second submission and gave her another 10 points!! Best yet? He said if he felt like continuing the story, he'd enjoy reading it. I strongly suspect she won't hate creative writing anymore, thanks to the guy who taught me to love it, too.

ORIGINAL: My daughter isn't exactly the most creative when it comes to writing. She does wonderfully when it's a research assignment. But having to write about something in her past or a fiction essay is difficult for her. She asked me if I could help her do it.

The requirements were that it had to be pertaining to her in a different setting and different year. It also had to be third person and a minimum of six pages. So, she chose a moment in the civil war, where she is a young girl living on the edge of a location where a battle had occurred the night before the story started. She made four paragraphs and scrapped it several times before enlisting my help.

I told her to close her eyes and envision the setting. Was the sun up? Were there dead or wounded soldiers on the ground? Does she smell the gun powder or blood? Are there sounds from soldiers in the distance? Is there any signs of normalcy interwoven in that setting? She closed her eyes, and she started telling me what she saw. I typed as she talked. It really helped her get into her assignment on a personal level. She actually dug in and really came up with good details and a very clever plot.

She ended up with eight pages, and after her fourth edit and my proof reading, she submitted it. Her professor read it, said it was "too good not to be AI" and told her she had to write a second essay to prove it was her vision and her story. Her second story was a continuation of her first story, but because she only had a half an hour to write it instead of multiple times to rewrite it, she didn't feel it was as good. As of now, she hasn't received it back from him and is concerned.

I know who her professor is. I also know how to reach him. Do I connect with him and let him know how she arrived at her essay? Or would he consider it to have been done in concert with an adult, thereby "cheating" in a sense? Do I just leave well enough alone? She's going to be an anesthesiologist, so a historical essay isn't exactly the foundation of her career, but she needs to keep her grades above a B to continue receiving her scholarship. She's also never been accused of cheating before, and it's tearing her up.

I have no idea why he would have accused it of being AI, either, because it had a ton of creative license in it. AI wouldn't create imperatives, clause combinations or have verbless sentences. And she never even touched ChatGPT for any phrases. Do I step in on her behalf?

EDIT: I did not type her paper. I typed her notes as she spoke. She took the content and modified it, added to it, subtracted it, and wrote her own paper. All I did is direct her to be in that moment, then type as she talked. The first format looks nothing like the finished format. The notes I took didn't even make up 25% of her final product.

I also did not help her invent a plot. All I did was remove her writer's block.

And in her defense, she is not a timid person. She is reserved. She volunteered for the Peace Corps for 27 months in the health and welfare areas, so she's not lacking in courage. She is a STEM student on a full scholarship because she's really good at science and mathematics. She has all kinds of confidence when it comes to those courses. It's just creative writing that was her "stumbling block". And after all the work she did for her assignment, to have it challenged as AI crushed her.

But as a reminder, she did remit her 30-minute follow up story. She doesn't have the results yet and will not reach out any further until she gets it.

Should I end things with a guy who keeps crossing my boundaries, even though he’s generally nice?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing this guy for several months, and it feels like every month he does something that upsets me. He’s kind and considerate in some ways, but I’m starting to question what he actually adds to my life.
One recurring issue is that he keeps asking to split expenses 50/50, even though I’ve clearly told him from the beginning that this isn’t what I want in a relationship. I respect that others prefer splitting everything, but I’ve had to repeat my boundary multiple times.
Another issue is how he reacts when he hurts me. If I’m upset and don’t want to see him, he gets extremely emotional, begs me to meet him, and calls me repeatedly. I end up feeling pressured to manage his emotions when I’m the one who’s hurt. He also wants to resolve everything immediately, even when I need space.
Honestly, I don’t feel like he contributes much to my life. The only things he really pays for are occasional dinners or groceries that I use to cook for us. He doesn’t make my life easier in other ways, and I’m questioning whether being nice is enough when I repeatedly feel hurt and unheard.
I’ve considered ghosting him, but I know he’ll probably be very upset.
Am I being unreasonable? Should I end things, and would ghosting be wrong when someone repeatedly ignores my boundaries and won’t give me space?

My best friend of 10 years accidentally showed me a message from another woman: “Last night was amazing. When can I see you again? ❤️”

The problem? He’s married.

I pretended I saw nothing, but the next day, he called me and said, “Bro, whatever you saw, please don’t tell my wife. I’ll explain someday.”

Now I’m stuck between loyalty to my best friend and respect for his wife, who’s also a good friend of mine.

How do I deal with this?

I don’t feel like being intimate with my fiancé after seeing his search history

0 Upvotes

I (25F) recently found out my fiancé (29M) has been looking at explicit content on Reddit for years, including when we moved in together. His searches focus on (pawg) with a trimmed x, which I learned was white women with large butts, I’m more slim and I don’t consider myself thick down there, and it’s made me feel hurt and a bit insecure. I have always had a feeling he liked thick lower body but I thought he loved my body and I don’t want to hate my body or compare myself to other girls or start to feel insecure about myself now.

It makes me uncomfortable that he’s looking at other women’s naked bodies especially when he has explicit photos of me and he knows I wouldn’t like that. He also doesn’t really pay attention to my butt when we are intimate and now I question if this is why. Now I don’t feel like being intimate with him and he doesn’t know that I know this. Should I bring this up or just not bother and not care anymore.

We owe about $3000 on the mortgage, $700 electric bill with a $500 disconnection notice, can’t make my car payment this paycheck. Groceries wipe out half our paychecks alone. I don’t know what I can even do at this point to pull us out of this hole.

My girlfriend is questioning her gender and I feel shit for feeling weird about it

1 Upvotes

So me and my girlfriend are both lesbians we’ve been dating for the past 2 years, I’ve always known that she has never fully accepted herself as lesbian because she was brought up with some internalised homophobia. just to be clear I’m very masculine, used she/they pronouns and wear a binder because I’d prefer a flat chest, while she usually prefers to wear tight crop tops and makeup. Last night she told me she sometimes wishes she was a boy, like she loves being feminine but sometimes wishes she could wear the baggy clothes boys are supposed to wear. I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else but the thought of calling her man even sometimes feels like its going against my own identity, I asked if she felt she was transgender and she said no, which wouldn't of been a bad thing I just wouldn’t be able to date them because I’m too connected to my identity to date someone who is a male. But now I’m still worrying because she keeps saying she doesn’t want to lose me, and I don’t want to lose her either but it feels strange to think about calling my girlfriend a he sometimes. Ive been up all night not sure on what I should say, i feel like a massive asshole and really conflicted. I told her I’d try to help her find herself but I’m scared that will mean I wont be able to handle it. I really need advice because I don’t want to either be a bad girlfriend, a hypocrite or lose her but I’m not sure what to do.

Do your partners interact with your social media posts?

• Upvotes

My partner (22M) and I (22F) have been together for five years. I’m gonna get straight to the point, I enjoy posting on social media, especially TikTok, but my partner isn’t really interested in it. He doesn’t have TikTok and doesn’t want to see what I post, which I find a little confusing.

When we first started dating, he used to like and comment on my Instagram posts, but over time, he has stopped doing that. I’ve explained to him that I enjoy when he interacts with my posts because it makes me feel appreciated and like he’s proud to be with me. However, he says social media isn’t important to him, which I do understand. I think part of my feelings comes from comparing my relationship to my friends’ relationships, as I often see their partners commenting on their posts and showing them affection online, whereas mine doesn’t.

He also doesn’t interact much with my Instagram stories. I usually show him the photos I want to post beforehand, and if he doesn’t express any concerns, I assume he’s okay with them. I post because I feel confident and like how I look. I also take his feelings into consideration because I know he has certain preferences about what I share online. There have been times when he has expressed that he would rather I didn’t post a particular photo, and I’ve chosen not to.

What are your thoughts on your partner liking and commenting on your social media posts?

Advice Received i F/22 figured out my bf M/22 watches porn and locks himself in the bathroom

0 Upvotes

Hello all, I hope this finds you well. I am writing because I have no one else to talk about this issue. I am 22F and my 22M boyfriend have been together for exactly a year this month. Its been a pretty good relationship so far. This might be my insecurity, and maybe I am overreacting but i am genuinely disgusted-dissapointed in my bf. When we first got together i asked him if there was anything  should know about. He mentioned that he has dealt with porn. I must of mistook the context and thought he grown out of it. So the first half of the year was great, we moved in at 5 months together and are still living together. It was until about 2-3 months ago something changed. He was gone for 4 days a week for k-9 training, as he is a police officer. He was alone most of the time he wasn’t in class he was alone. This lead to more of this porn use i didn’t really know about. He would come home for the weekend and of course I was excited to see him because i was alone in our house for half the week. Of course i wanted to be intimate and we would consent and usually go at it. But there way nothing. I thought maybe he was just tired or stressed, then it carried on and i connected some dots. He was getting pleasure and intimacy other ways. I called him calmly and asked him if he was still watching porn and he could be honest because i already kind of knew the answer. He said he was. My heart immediately sunk. I havent had much luck with relationships and this one is one of the best i’ve been in. my self image has gone, as i have gained 20 pounds, its hard to look at myself in the mirror. Even going out in public i compare myself to other women and i understand this is my own insecurity, but his actions led to it going further. We fought for a while, because in my mind, if he really loved me he would’nt need to bust to other women. If he loved  me he wouldn’t make me feel this way, and these thoughts still linger with me. I am in therapy for my own issues and recently he has gone to therapy for the porn use, but to the therapist its a natural thing and i suppose it maybe is. But it hurts me, if we are ever intimate, i think he is picturing other women istead of me. I feel insecure of my body and i genuinely feel  bad during sex because i feel i am not enough, I took this to another platform, tik tok and have seen other wifes/girlfriends with the same experience and i commented on how relatable their post was and i was told by other men it was a skill issue, and it was my fault. So that makes me feel bad too. I am not mad at my bf, I genuinely feel kind of disgusted, and he is honest to me, recently, he has been locking himself in the bathroom when i am asleep in the morning because he wants to get that “release” or masturbate. I asked what he watches and deep questions like that. Im not sure if he was honest but he said only listens to the audio and doesn’t watch. Idk, i am sorry for bringing this here if this is my issue. ?

Advice Received My(F29) bf (M22) wants me to block all ppl with whom I had intimacy in the past.

• Upvotes

My(F29) bf (M22) wants me to block all ppl with whom I had intimacy in the past. I didn’t want to tell him in the beginning the amount of ppl I slept with because it’s more than I wish it was (and many women told me not saying a number is wisdom), I was dealing with low self esteem, sadness and validation issues that led me to a bigger number (30). I do regret that I slept with so many people.

He always asked me to tell him the truth, and after few months of dating I decided to tell him the truth since he is asking for it all the time and it felt right to tell him. (He also would ask a million questions about my exes so i felt worse and worse hiding the truth and I wanted to tell regardless at some point).

So I tell him, he is furious I hid it, tells me he lost trust in me, we are on the edge of breaking up, then after me talking for hours and explaining myself, he tells me he is willing to try to rebuild trust, but wants me to block all the ppl with whom I had sex in the past. (He doesn’t talk to any girls at all) I decided okay fine I can do that, tho one of these people (and he now knows about him) is my friend of 10 years.

We had sex once few years ago when we both got drunk on the new year (I don’t drink at all so I lost control completely). Happened once and never happened again, he is legit just a friend, he just fucks whatever moves, I never had any romantic feelings for him, but not the emotional part bothers my boyfriend, but the fact that he put dick in my vagina so that’s why we can’t be friends anymore. He lives across the ocean, I see him once in 2-3 years (never anything happened before that incident or after) and we talk like every 2-3 weeks. Just about life, different things. He is very intelligent and smart so Im just genuinely interested in him as a person, thats it. He has his women over there, his life. Also, I don’t have many friends at all, I have many acquaintances, but friends with whom I talk consistently over years is literally like 5-10 people

I don’t want to cut off 10 years friendship because my boyfriend tells me to do so, his reasoning is “Im uncomfortable”, and I don’t wanna lose my bf. Please share your thoughts and give advice if you have one

i have completed my life - help.

0 Upvotes

i write this at 4:17am. the title, deliberately over stated to some degree as i am wanting as much help as possible. i am english, i turned 16 in august, and i can not see anything other reason i have to live; not that i wish to end it, but i literally just cant think of a reason.

in my opinion if i were to blur ‘the reason to live’ into just 2 categories they would be: peoples love for you and your own ambitions.

my dad is around 65, my mother is around a decade younger. i have no siblings, no grandparents and my only 2 cousins from my fathers side are around 38 with kids. with this in mind, i never had anyone other than my school friends growing up.

around 2 years ago i was thinking what i wanted in life, any my answer which i kept coming back to was to do what i please; how do i achieve this? money - financial freedom. that lead me to finding ways to make money. after a few months i discovered my passion for stocks and shares. this became the only thing i learned about, spent time on. i did nothing in school.

cut forward to june 2025 i meet an asian, canadian 20 year old through these endeavours. the next few months we found and develop to what is now the largest paid signals group globally. i shall not mention the name, but from just the last 2 sentences you could find us with ease. more than likely a few who read this will literally be within the group. i am now only needed no more than a singular day. this has been true for 5-6 months.

i will not take any more time from you, and cut to the chase. this business, due to its nature pays in subscriptions, meaning the money i generate is completely passive. like i said, i barely do anything now. this sum i am receiving each month is astronomical, more than both of my parents yearly income combined. 6 figures. this sum has only increased, and dramatically. everything made bar 10% is pure profit.

i have paid my parents for my education (i went to private school until last year), yet they have not even looked at me with love for the last year, i have no more real life friends, i am too young to spend any of it on anything a 16 year old would want to. i pay more in tax than my parents make, yet i can not even buy a drink.

i can not think of anything i have left to achieve. i am effectively a financial advisor, yet i do not know what to do with my own money. i have all that i am willing to invest, invested. and sure, once i turn 18 after 2 years of literally doing nothing, then what? i dont know what to do.

i have left so much out here as i do not want to make this shit too long and people dont read it. i will reply to any comments. your suggestions will most likely already of crossed my mind but please, i have no clue what to do. i would say i am christian, but i feel nihilistic. that i think sums up everything. please, any advice?

Advice Received Terrible weed withdrawals and having to continue in school and my job

0 Upvotes

I've been in college for two and a half months now and a bit after I started, I also started buying pens and for two months straight I smoked from them every single day. I ran out completely on Thursday and while it's only technically been four days, it has felt like two weeks. I couldn't sleep good that first night, nor the two nights after. Yesterday, I pulled an allnighter and then took a nap for maybe 4 hours in the morning. I also started a new job and and I worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening. I'm glad that I'm quitting (and tbh I kinda have to; I don't want to be sluggish at work) but the withdrawals have been so fucking terrible. I know that weed pens are like terrible for you and I think the fact that they all were different strains and brands did not help. I have never smoked consecutively for this long and the withdrawal symptoms have been TERRIBLE. I woke up on Thursday and I was FREEZING. Even after going in a hot shower, I end up feeling like an icicle when I get out. My appetite has been fried (which tbh I don't mind, the munchies were making me fat anyways) and last night I started having this nauseating feeling like I was about to vomit. However when I tried to vomit, nothing would come out. I started chewing gum and it slightly helps. My main issue is the nausea and insomnia. I know the insomnia takes a few weeks to go back to normal but if I keep this all nighter schedule up (which I do because otherwise I'm tossing and turning in bed). I'm prescribed seroquel to help go to sleep however it either will put me to sleep for only a few hours or won't affect me at all.

All of this to say, the last week has plummeted my academic drive. I'm not flunking anything but I usually keep a tight to-do list during the week. I wouldn't usually smoke in the day since I was at school so I'd get all my assignments done in advance. Now I feel behind and I can't even focus in my classes because I feel like vomiting. I'm also very emotional and irritable (which I know is also normal). I know that these symptoms aren't going to last forever and hopefully this will remind me not to smoke all the time like this (ideally I'd smoke on occassion but it's just better for me to not have any access). I just really am not sure how to deal with managing schoolwork ontop of all this physical discomfort. I know there are medications for it and my therapist did say I could get on one but I don't want that being a major point in future appointments with my psychiatrist. Any tips to help me with these treacherous next few weeks? 🫩

i’m 22m and my gf is going to a halloween party with her friend without me. we’re going to a different party together, but this one makes me nervous because apparently last year’s got pretty wild with drinking and hookups and whatnot.

she hasn’t given me any reason not to trust her, and i know this is mostly my own anxiety and insecurities.
i don’t want to tell her not to go or make her feel guilty, but i also want to be able to tell her when something bothers me.

i guess i’m just worried that bringing it up will make me sound needy, insecure, or controlling.
how do i talk to her about this in a healthy way? should i even bring it up, or is this something i should work through on my own?

I think my dad might be a hardcore racist

0 Upvotes

EDIT: Okay correction, my dad IS a hardcore racist, ik ik

Hi everyone, first time posting here, sorry for the long post.

Over the past nearly two years, my dads been absorbing right wing media biased content and propaganda, especially from American content creators and politicians (we’re Australian btw.), especially some of the “black fatigue” videos, and now he’s completely grown a hateful side.

He mainly follows Trump and Pauline Hanson (Aussies most likely might be the only one who know who that is) and anyone of that sort, and it’s like he’s gotten brainwashed. He will not accept any of his political views being morally wrong, and has this “I can’t be wrong, if you’re arguing you’re just a “woke lefty””ideology.

And this is the worst part and really upsetting to me, he’s been referring to Black people he deems “unruly” as n-words with the R. I have told them numerous times I do not like him saying the word or anyone using the word at all period.

Today, he told me that he refers to “ghetto” and “criminal” Black people as n-words because that’s what they are he is, but the Black people who are successful in life aren’t. I tried to explain to him that regardless of anyone’s status, that slur can still hurt them, and I brought up if I had a potential partner who was Black and “successful” in my dad’s eyes, that word could still hurt him.

My dad said he did not give a shit. And he said import the third world, become the third world. At that point I didn’t recognise him anymore :(, and it’s made me embarrassed and ashamed to have him as my father, which makes me cry a lot because it’s not only racial groups, it’s also members of the LGBTQ, especially trans people. He tries and acts like he’s accepting of everyone like he used to tell me, but he’s got a bad word to say about everyone.

I don’t know what to do :(, again I’m embarrassed of him and wish he could be swapped out with how he used to be before all this, I don’t ever want my friends or potential partner finding out about this. At the same time, he’s done nothing wrong to me, he’s been a great father, but I can’t stand to be around someone so ignorant and hateful. I don’t know how I can get through to him because he can’t seem to listen to anything else except what he consumes.

Edit: And ik all of what I’m saying is crazy, but all of what he’s been saying has been indoors or in the car, not in front of anyone else so he can say whatever he wants ig🫩

My boyfriend is friends with his ex, what do I do now?

That probably Sounds but more dramatic than it is. So my boyfriend was with her for only a few months during the end of last year. After they broke up they didn’t Talk anymore and we met. It was a very emotional Break up I know that.

Then he went off to College (I’m still in high School) and Turns out she goes to the Same College as him with the Same Major. So they ended up being in a friend group together. I didn’t have a Problem with that as Long it’s Not Like theyre being friends directly with each other yk.

But Turns out they went outside to stargaze together with another friend and that friend eventuelly left and he stayed. Several such things happened. Now he just told me that she asked for his number and he gave it to her to Play Games together online (only him and her).

Just for the record I’ve been wanting to Play Games with him online but he always told me it’s Not his thing so we Never did. Im honestly not okay with that. She is still his Ex, that wasnt even a year ago. I dont know what to do rn and how to talk about it with him. We agreed on no 1o1 with her before but I feel like he broke that. What do I do now?

I just ask for genuine love and connection with someone yet the men that have entered my life this past year (after putting myself back out there) always act interested but usually leave within 3 months. The most previous man who said he didnt feel the connection w me he was hoping for, it felt so sudden and quite jarring as things seemed they where good the past month of knowing eachother, we’d laugh, make constant plans, talk about the future, etc. I actually felt he was the one that god had in store for me but only to be left with the feeling of abandonment yet again. Like I said I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. But is it really that hard to find “your” person?

Accidentally followed my boyfriends ex on social media

0 Upvotes

My boyfriend 24m and I 21f have been together for a little over a year. We moved in together a few months ago and it’s been nice. We’ve had our fair share of arguments, but i feel like we always bounce back. Basically he has two major exes that i know about and naturally i looked them up to see what they look like (is that normal i thought it was lol). I never went to say anything to either of them or start issues i simply wanted to see. me and and my friend were gossiping the other night and one of us between passing the phone, back and forth mustve followed the girl. The problem is I didn’t notice till the next morning when she followed me back. Now i was stressing because I know how weird this looks and i would never do this on purpose. I could unfollow but she followed me so i just left it be because i thought that would look weirder but I didn’t tell my boyfriend.

Now a few nights after the follow he was showing me something on his phone, and i saw her notification come up. My mind went to the worst becuase he said that he never speaks to her so yes i did the childish petty thing and posted a pic of me in his car for her too see (yes i know its childish okay lets move on) so she obviously saw it. so that was maybe two or 3 days ago i asked him about the message and he said she sent him a video on tiktok and he never replied. anyways fast forward to today i saw he blocked me on instagram which is weird because we never even followed each other then when i saw him later on he asked me why i followed her on instagram and he BLEW up at me i mean he was pissed. so i told him it was an accident and he asked why i was stalking her page in the first place he was just being overall mean and harsh about it. he even knew what i posted so she’d know i was with him and i was basically saying i dont think its that big a deal if u guys arent talking anyway.

he just kept saying i shouldnt have been on her page in the first place but like lets not act like we havent all been there. he said any problems that come from this with her is on me but then i asked again why would it be an issue if you guys dont talk lol. he basically said im a weird pos what do you guys think I obviously have to take some accountability for following that was so dumb of me but is it a big deal if everything they had is in the past?

What should i say? Should I keep trying to defend myself or let it blow over? he said he wont ever trust me again and wont tell me anything personal ever again but i feel like that extreme over this?

How to loose weight without loosing my assets?

0 Upvotes

I have been on a keto like/ clean eating journey and have lost a bit of weight with more to go. I don’t work out but I do have a very physical job.

I have noticed I’m also loosing weight in all the wrong places. Is there a way to loose weight without loosing my assets? I thought maybe I should focus on eating more protein and fat and working out targeting the areas I do want to change such as mid section, thighs and arms. Will this help retain what I want while loosing what I don’t want or is there no way to avoid it? anyone else have any success stories around this?

I’m known as the crazy girl?

0 Upvotes

I’m 16F. Today in class me and a few friends were talking about being known as “Blanks sister” due to having a popular older brother. I then pitched in and was told “I think you’re actually known as the crazy girl who talks a lot”. At first I thought it was a joke because I didn’t think people perceived me this way. And then she continues to say “That’s what my boyfriend calls you” And other people started pitching in and also saying that’s kind of how i’m seen. I do talk a lot in SOME classes, but I don’t think I act crazy? Im not speaking in tongues or jumping around in the front of class. Im not even hurt people perceive me as crazy i’m just confused. I would understand more if people called me weird, but why crazy? I’m also not mentally ill, or sharing crazy stories, or saying super crazy things. I’m very confused

Parents vs Husband , whom to choose

0 Upvotes

I am 28 Yr old female , I take care of my parents financially , we are 2 sisters , my sister had arranged marriage , I chose love marriage he is my mom's relative initially it was kind of arranged as my parents dint know we were in love later they decided to get me married to someone else I did not agree- start of conflict

Since then its been 3 years we have a 1 Yr old kid now still it is husbsnd vs parents, I love my parents deeply , my only condition to my husband before marriage was to live with my parents as his parents are in hometown and no intent to come settle in city ,

We stayed with my parents for 2 years, everything was a problem fromLocking door , my dad told me to lock door only at night as it is joint family , people will speak ill of girl , going out to eat , spending time with each other

3 times major fights - my parents asked my husband to leave home

Eventually had to move out close to my parents home , I was called selfish, bad daughter , one who choose husband over parents

I was still taking care financially, I chose to get home at walkable distance so I can go everyday

Then I got pregnant

We all planned to move closer to my sister's home so all can stay near , I am currently staying with my parents postpartum

Me and my sister are building a new home for my parents, as my parents and husband don't get well together planning to rent house nearby

Now it is time again to move out, my mom once told if you want parents you stay or you go with husband

My dad said my husband that instead of buying new bike to commute to office you can stay near office and come see them twice a week , thus you can save for future

Question- my parents gave me everything they have ,sacrificed gave good education now is it okay to move out with husband or think my parents are problematic
