Having kids as neighbors can result in quite a hassle if their parents aren't doing their job right… These kids in particular were an absolute headache for an entire neighborhood, as they would constantly throw trash (among other things) over their backyard fence. One of the residents in the neighborhood had been moving some of the stuff that had ultimately ended up blocking the sidewalk for years. That is, until he ended up scrolling the neighborhood Facebook, finding out that he wasn't the on…

This beach is full of old money folks who are used to getting their way. As u/fumples explained in their story to r/MaliciousCompliance, they had to deal with some rather irritating women who made it their goal to police everybody at the beach . Going to the shore for a summer vacation is the highlight of the summer for those who live along the coast. It's common for families to plan a few days of relaxation at the beach, where the kids can build sandcastles and play in the waves, while the adu…

Behold: one of the greatest examples of malicious compliance ever told. This Grandma's commitment to stubbornness is truly unmatched. Back in the 1950s, things were much different than they are now in almost every way. Back then, stereotypical gender roles were in full force, with women getting married, having lots of children, and running a household while raising the kiddies. Meanwhile, the man of the house would work a job. That's it. But that was considered the men's responsibility. Back th…

There are too many touch screens, iPad-dependent parents are screw ups, music is too loud, and everyone needs to get the heck off my lawn!

When something happens in a small town, everyone is going to hear about it. So when this couple chose to let their toddler roam unsupervised around an open house , they'd be crazy to think the whole town wouldn't know what happened by the next day. The OP, u/open852, wrote to the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit with their rather intriguing etiquette question. In the post, they describe how they and their husband brought their 4 year old kid to an open house . While the parents were strolling the prop…

The only thing worse than annoying kids is an annoying parent!

This mom is taking family participation a bit too far. This woman wrote to r/AmItheA**hole to share her story and ask for people's opinions , but she's definitely not going to like the answers she's receiving in the comments. As the OP, u/Thick-Studio-4277, shared in her post, her daughter Penelope is 12 years old, and she has a spring show that she was performing in. The OP didn't really take this show seriously, which is a big mistake on her part! Preteens take things like that very seriously…

This person is trying to share their amazing vacation plans , but their family is acting utterly bizarre about it. Vacationing is a real privilege. Lots of people never travel further than a few states away due to financial constraints or workplaces not giving much vacation time. So if you do get the chance to travel — and travel by plane to a pricey amusement park , in this case — you'd be crazy to turn down the opportunity! In the story they told to r/AmItheA**hole, u/Safe_Ad_6111 has some in…

That kid is going to resent her aunt for the rest of her life after this.

Some girls are early bloomers. For some, they embrace their femininity and roll with it, while others are doomed and condemned for being a curvy pre-teen. Early bloomers are fast-tracked to learn about life, and competition, pretty early, especially when it comes to older, insecure women.

Customs and etiquette change over time, but this mom is pretty sure this party host is being super tacky. There are all types of parties, from simple to extravagant. For smaller events, it can be great to host your family and friends at your home for a backyard BBQ, which is casual and cost effective. Other people love to spend big money on their kids parties by renting entertainers or bouncy houses, or hosting the event at a restaurant or play zone. As a kid, you have a wonderful time regardle…

Parents, you deserve a nice break. You work so hard to keep your kids fed and cared for, and yet kids don't show much appreciation in return. There's no instruction manual attached to your child — you just have to figure it out as you go along. With advice from other parents , it helps to realize that you're not alone. Lots of people have kids just as crazy as yours! And they're all unique in their own quirky ways. Take a moment away from picking Cheerios out of the couch cushions and wiping ma…

These roommates may have no home now, but they certainly have plenty of audacity.

There is nothing more brutally cutting than the honest remarks of a child. Their lack of filter and a forming understanding of the world can bring forth some surprisingly perceptive comments that no adult would ever dare think—let alone utter out loud. These comments are usually directed at family or caretakers. They can sufficiently ruin days and demolish the egos of those people. That alone can be a lot to handle, but when they're directed toward complete strangers, it can be humiliating. Tha…

Being estranged from a family member can be tough, but if they're the toxic, narcissist type, for some folks, being away from their family is actually a huge relief. Distancing yourself from that sort of dynamic is the best thing to do, but when rotten family members come out of the woodwork in order to get something from you, it smells like trouble from a mile away. In this case, one man who was alienated from his family gets roped back into the drama
