"It was then that a woman water walked over to us with a little girl in tow, demanding to know where the boy's mother was and why he was using me like a jungle gym.  Before I could reply the little guy rolled his eyes at the woman and said the following, at max volume. 'Ms. Karen Mommy asked Mr. OP to watch me...'"

'Are you really going to ruin that for her too?': Kid humiliates entitled pool Karen with uncomfortable truth "bombs"

Kids say the darnedest things, don't they? That complete lack of filter can simultaneously be the most hilarious, embarrassing, and cutting thing on this planet. There's nothing worse than being on the receiving end of an incredibly perspective comment from a child. There's something about the truth that a child perceives that leaves you utterly defenseless and without any recourse or response. After all, it's not as if you can respond with an insult back… Then you'd just be the adult that was…

AITA for letting my 4 year old use all of his money to buy everybody else meals and gifts while we were at Disneyland? | I took my kids to Disneyland Paris for a week with two of my friends and their kids. My oldest is 4 but he gets a monthly allowance from his dad that he can, in theory, spend on whatever he wants.

Mother wonders if she's wrong for letting her 4-year-old son spend his entire life savings on her friends (and there's a lot to unpack here.)

Well… at least he hasn't been saving for very long! Plenty of time for him to recoup from this devastating loss. If his allowance (which appears to be larger than my paycheck) doesn't cut it, then the trust fund should certainly help out. There's a lot going on and a lot to unpack with this one.

AITA for not paying for my neighbors child's medical bills? | We bought our new house last year. When we first viewed the house, we noticed bikes and children's toys in the driveway and on the side yard. At our final walkthrough before we signed the final documents and got the keys, we noticed kids in the driveway coloring with sidewalk chalk and riding scooters and bikes. We introduced ourselves to the kids and asked where they lived, they pointed at the house next door.

When "Get off my lawn!" is a rational request—rather than a disgruntled outcry from an aging croquet enthusiast.

There's nothing that guarantees failure like setting unrealistic expectations. Anytime you expect too much of anything you're dooming yourself to be unhappy with whatever the outcome is.

Call the police on my kid for watching a movie? No afternoon nap for you! | So I just read a story on here that reminded me of my dad’s personal petty revenge story.  I was around 10-12 when this happened.  Our old next door neighbour was a nosy, lazy SAHM. She liked to complain about almost everything.

Unreasonable Elderly Neighbor Phones Police Over Teen Movie Marathon, Has Her Nap-time Cancelled

There's nothing worse than a noisy neighbor, but there's also nothing worse than a nosy neighbor who has absolutely zero damn tolerance for people just trying to live out a normal, uneventful existence. There's no reason why a few teenagers watching a movie should result in a call to the police… Unless that movie is incessantly loud and extends into unreasonable hours through a shared wall or other close proximity living. That being said…With every passing year, I find myself becoming more and…

Mom Calls the Cops After Husband "Steals" the Motorcycle She Got Her Son For His Birthday

It's rare that a parenting disagreement actually escalates to police involvement in the investigation of theft. At least, I would hope and assume that this is the case, but maybe it happens with a higher degree of frequency than you'd anticipate. This mother describes her son's obsession with motorcycles and automobiles There are a lot of working pieces and ethics to consider when it comes to the inter-workings of this story. First of all, this husband is not the son's biological father, and we…

'If you miss even one shift you get demoted': Father/Boss forces son to miss the birth of child

It's never a good thing when an employer forces their employee to miss a significant life event in order to assert their authority over the employee's life and ensure that they never dare to question the importance of their work again. Such instances are dehumanizing and toxically reinforce the bizarre idea that our work is more important than our family and health. It's shocking then to think that a parent could do this to their own child who works for them. Well, that's exactly what happened…

Daughter Disregards Dad's Discount Demands

A daughter refused her father's requests to purchase an HDMI cable with her discount for usage in the family household. The employee purchasing policy expressly forbids receiving compensation for any purchases and the daughter was determined to honor the strictest interpretation of the policy. It certainly comes across in the post as if she is just trying to spite her father and taking any excuse possible not to purchase him the cable he is after. Why can't she just buy it for him as a gift… It…
