'Now she gets work with my mom': Woman gets her mother to work with her terrible ex-coworker when her parents refuse to listen

It has often been said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend—and I'm not exactly sure how that's supposed to all workout. Sure, they might not like the person you also don't like, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you guys are going to be all buddy-buddy, either. With your prickly and challenging personalities, it's more likely that the three of you will all be enemies together and carry on feuding perpetually like those three brothers after they offed their ginormous-jerk parents.

These parents had a great arrangement with their kids regarding rent, until they actually talked about their financial situation .

But these days, it's more common than ever to live with your parents well into adulthood. Millennials and Gen Z know this all too well, since both generations are living with their parents way longer than previous generations. Whi…

'He landed face first in a puddle of mud': Male Karen gets put in his place after bullying an underaged referee at a kid's soccer game; karma comes back with a vengeance

There's nothing worse than unnecessarily rowdy adults at a children's soccer team. Perhaps everyone thinks their child is a star athlete and is under the impression that their little golden goose is going to the big leagues one day. That may be, but for now, chill out Kevin, your boy is 8 and he's picking the grass in the goal. Sit back down and relax.

property house home military moving military-family karen delusional insane entitled entitled-people reddit creepy neighborhood neighbors army navy kids parents story wholesome happy-ending

'Get off my property!': Delusional Karen breaks into a military family's garden, threatening to run them out of town to acquire their property; police remove her, justice ensues, and the family lives happily ever after in their forever home

Military kids can all agree that moving sucks. After packing up your belongings for the 15th time before you even hit 8 years of age, the whole process starts to become numbing and the idea of a forever home becomes more of a fantastical dream than a reality. However, for some army brats, their dreams come true when their parents get stationed in a long term, or even forever, location.

'I was gone for about 30 minutes': Dad gets put in his place for ditching dinner party to take son to McDonald's

Teaching your kids that they're not always going to have everything handed to them when (and how) they want it is an important lesson to share. It helps prepare them for the reality that things aren't always going to be exactly to their liking; different people do things differently and have different ideas about what is "good" and how things should be done, so learning to work with that as early as possible will only make their life easier and ensure that they don't grow up to be a micromanagi…

'She said of all the... things I’ve done this is the worst': Woman is infuriated to find out her brother randomly turned their family house into an Airbnb

This dude has what he believes is an excellent money-making scheme, but his mom is going to be so mad at him. U/NicoDeeMaus had a query for the r/AmItheA**hole community. As a budding landlord, he's renting out several rooms in the house he's staying at, and living in the basement . He needs to earn some quick cash, and this is how he's decided to do so. But the OP should have known that commenters would call him TA, which they unanimously did, instead of taking his side of the argument. This i…

'Her mother had a fit': Caring father stands up for his daughter when superstitious mother refuses to pay for their child's life changing surgery because it's scheduled on her own birthday

Birthday obsessives are the bane of everyone's existence and we all have that one friend who can't stand it when people don't worship them once a year.

hardworking daughter parents parent college college-fund baby son university freshman money student-loans student-debt loans debt student college-student reddit aita brother sister finance promise

'iT's OuR mOnEy': Hardworking daughter gets her college fund robbed after graduation when her parents surprise her with a baby brother and revoke half of her college savings

Wrestling student debt after you graduate college is a lot like taking on a polar bear in a 1v1, mano-a-mano fist fight. The odds are certainly against you and even if you manage to beat the bear, you'll likely freeze out in the cold arctic tundra afterwards. You may have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans that you owe the Feds, but at least you took home a piece of paper that says that you know how to shotgun a beer before writing a 10 page research paper on gender studies.

'I felt extremely embarrassed': Toddler cracks expensive artwork during open house, parents flee the scene

When something happens in a small town, everyone is going to hear about it.

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…

'I had to kick out my cousin during my ceremony for crying': Bride cuts off cousin after she causes wedding pandemonium

An entitled parent just cannot believe the world doesn't revolve around her and her kids. As u/FlounderEffective819 shared in a shocking story, she was excited for her wedding, but was insistent that the big day should be child free . All the OP wanted was a special moment with her husband as she walked down the aisle. That's a pretty normal thing to want at a wedding reception, but one of the OP's family members, who has three young children, didn't take the “no kids” rule very well. It seems…

A mom is sure she's teaching her daughter the right way to budget money, but her husband and daughter disagree. You have plenty of duties as a parent, and teaching your kids financial literacy is certainly really important to a parent of a young adult, like this OP, whose account has since been deleted.

'[Am I the jerk] for getting a dog': Family orders adult woman to get rid of her pet dog because her brother is allergic

Growing up, it's important to listen to your parents. Generally, they have a lot of insight and experience that you lack at this point in your life—plus a healthy dose of resulting cynicism. Once you've graduated from their care and have your own place, you get to live your life on your own terms, free to make your own mistakes and live your own life—which often ends with you constantly asking them for advice anyways. We value our parents and their advice, but some parents have trouble letting…
