There's always a little drama at the family barbecue. No matter which way you slice those Deviled Eggs, there's going to be a cousin or a random Auntie causing a stink.

'Get your kids out of the way': Wannabe mom-fluencer gets banished from the park after dominating the playground for her own personal photoshoot

Mom-fluencers are objectively the worst. Half the time, they're the type of parents that film their child's tantrums to teach their 20,000 followers how to manage meltdowns, but in real life they're forgetting to give their kid any genuine attention, they're late to pick them up from school because they were live-streaming at Target, and they're the parent that would rather get those likes instead of putting a bandaid on their kiddo's scraped knee.

'The mom is starting to realize she may have overreacted': Family insists on immediate help for bee sting, dorm employee embarrasses them

We can't all be calm under pressure. It's especially difficult to be calm when you're also hurting, as u/ihatevegtables shared in a story to r/MaliciousCompliance. They recall the time they were working a college move out day . If you aren't familiar with the concept, that's when you're a student living in a dorm, and you have to move out at an assigned time at the end of the semester. You have to pack everything up — clothes, mini fridge, text books — and toss it in a big bin on wheels. If you…

bartender calling-in-sick sick mother mom mommy boss voice calling-out sick-day work bar pub uk customers karen

'You shouldn't be here': Bartender calls in sick, but boss forces him to come to work anyways; gets saved by boss's mother who pulls the 'mom' card to send him home

Being sick as a little kid isn't so bad because you have Mom around to feed you soup, press her hand on your forehead, and tuck you in for a nap. If she says you're too sick to go out, you're too sick to go out. As an adult, you're forced to gauge your own illness, which, as mother always said, means you're going to be sick for weeks. In this case, OP tried to do the right thing by calling in sick to work, but his unyielding boss wouldn't allow it.

'I feel taken advantage of': Car owner refuses to lend his vehicle to single mom after she dents it, neighborhood turns on him

Always be cautious who you let drive your car . Vehicles are pricey not just to purchase, but also to maintain. After that initial purchase, you still have to fill it up with gas and deal with any fender benders that might occur. That's enough for one person to deal with, but this guy lent his car to his neighbor, and she is far from gentle with his car. The OP shared the story with r/AmItheA**hole, seeking judgement for if he's been too harsh about revoking this woman's car privileges. However…
