I am in a fight with my husband over what my son named our new robot vacuum.
By @sageagain · Family
I thought it would be cute to let our 7-year-old name our new Roomba. He named it 'Daddy.' Now I have to yell things like 'Daddy is stuck under the couch!' and my husband thinks it's hilarious.
The full story
My husband refuses to let me change it in the app. they says our son will be devastated (which is probably true, he gives it a little kiss goodnight). But I'm the one who's home more, so I have to say 'Daddy's bin is full' or 'I need to clean Daddy's brushes' with a straight face. My husband just laughs. Is this my life now?

@owenlol — Is he this dismissive about other things you're not happy with?
@gabeyk — His glee at your annoyance is a form of passive aggression.
@reeseactually — Let the kid cook.
@finnhm — You let a 7-year-old name something, you live with the consequences.
@hadtosay — I would 'accidentally' change his name in my phone to 'Roomba' and see how he likes it.
