Lying, yes. Manipulating? No. MIL, on her own, chose to try to enter the house when there wasn't an actual emergency. MIL, on her own, chose to bring it up at Christmas dinner, so MIL is the one who "ruined Christmas dinner for the whole family". MIL humiliated herself. OP's husband needs to grow a pair and tell his mom to get a grip.
@Destination Chronicles Agreed, MIL flat-out lied to OP and what's worse is that her husband backed his own mother up on it. OP should divorce her Husband if he is willing to side with his own mother.
Also known as the "missing stair" effect: The family has developed (bad) coping mechanisms like giving the ML whatever she wants to avoid the melt-downs and has gotten so used to this insanity that they are surprised that anybody else would expect them to 'repair' that problem instead of just keeping to assuage the ML ( = hop over the missing stair). It's a crying shame that something like that might mess up a marriage. And I really have difficulties believing that a man would have his mother walk in on him in intimate moments _twice_ and after that still back her up.
I feel kind of bad for OP's husband. He had to grow up with her as a mother, and that's just his normal. I get that it doesn't excuse his behavior towards his wife, but being raised while everyone around you tells you "that's just how your mother is" will understandably have lasting effects on someone. I think he and his wife need to take a moment to cool off then sit down and talk to each other. That and/or couple's therapy.
Story 5: OP is a Saint, she gave the other mom's son a safe Haven and when the mom got consumed by stress OP helped her and made a friend, 5 Star parenting/Being a Good Person
Story 1: The mother waited for the dinner to talk about it and in front of everyone to humiliate and punish you and when you threw it back then she and your husband got mad. So he won't defend your actions but will defend hers.
Exactly, why didn’t your husband stand by you. I think you might have mil problem and a husband problem. Why is it ok for mil to call you out but not you calling her out.
Once our kids became adults, they no longer had a curfew. We only had one rule, "Don't make us worry." In other words, go where you want to go, just let us know where and when is all. We did the same when we would leave. It's called respect. I now live w/my younger son and his wife and it's great. We live more as roommates, but it's MY house, lol.
that...and to always you protection....and if you brought someone...to keep the sound down , hip gyrating reasonable...and decoy audio to mask any potential sound... because it was better to ...well get it on or ...do lettuce at home than out on the street or something and risk getting caught....and quite frankly....i appreciated meanwhile i do have some friends that have gotten caught out in public...for rug use...or smashing... and in case it slipped by anyone...they meant cex....and pot they gave trust and ...it allowed a good amount of transparency and lead to a good future....now i can say I'm college educated, i have a home , a car i love , a great job (not in my field) and not in debt....so i guess you can say it's great parenting...
If I go somewhere with my two BFF'S I always leave a note for my mom telling her where I've gone, who I'm with and when I'll be back my little brother never did that when he was living at home
I loved the last story and could relate somewhat. My daughter, almost seventeen now, had a friend when they were in middle school who liked to come over and stay for the weekends. She was nice and always helpful. She always rinsed out her dishes after dinner, would always ask if I needed help when she’d catch me cleaning and so on. She would even tell me that she liked to clean. It always helped clear her mind. I did a double take on that statement. But it’s how she was wired and still is. It makes sense now though. Now, she was only like twelve or thirteen and through our conversations, she had explained to me that she would’ve been doing all of the chores in the house. Sadly, her mom and dad used drugs, were separated, and sometimes she’d find herself alone for a couple of days because her mom would leave her alone doing drugs and who knows what else. Thankfully, her grandma took her in, but it wasn’t all peaches and cream there either. One late night, she had told my daughter that she hated living and was going to kill herself. This had been before I had really gotten to know her, and when she had just moved, so I didn’t have her grandma’s number, which I had sworn and kicked myself for not having it. I’m pretty sure I did that the whole way to Grandma’s house while I had been driving as fast as I could get away within our small town. It took me fifteen minutes to even get over there. I went because I didn’t want to take the chance that she would. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself knowing that I might have been able to prevent it. Thankfully, and a bit unbelievably, she was alright by the time her aunt had answered the door. Her aunt was about 20 years younger than me, and she was so not happy to see me there that late. When we both finally figured it all out, I left knowing that she was safe and in better hands with her strict aunt. The next day, I even got a call from her other aunt who was a bit older. She wanted to know who the hell I was and made no bones about it. Hey, I would’ve probably have been the same way, so it hadn’t bothered me at all. We had even started getting along over our conversation that had lasted at least an hour, if not more. Heck, her and I are still pretty good friends and see each other at least once a month for an escape and ice cream ride. The other aunt and I became good friends too. To be honest, I had really liked the aunts and Grandpa, but that had been it out of their family. I did have all of their numbers in short order though. Anyways, my daughter’s friend would easily stay up to five days in a row when she had been with her Grandparents. As long as I gave her medicine every night, they were good and never once called or texted while she would stay with us. I could never understand that. Five days without any communication? She didn’t have a phone either, she was too young for something so expensive, which I understood. I just couldn’t understand why no one at the grandparents home would reach out and talk to her. It tore me up. So, for the two summers, she would stay with us days on end. Wherever we went, she went too. She was a good kid who had been dealt a pretty rotten hand. In my opinion. Her Dad sobered up, quit drugs, and moved the two of them down to the southern part of our state at the end of the second summer. I still reach out to her here and there, and I still love that sweet and troubled girl. She really wiggled her way into my heart, and she will always have a place there.
Last story, It was nice to hear someone try to use empathy to reason with someone. Sometimes a person just needs to know that someone, anyone, cares. What a kind, wise, lady.
Story 4: The only way this whole ordeal could have been somewhat explainable would be if the mom was drunk or under the influence of something. If that's not why she went twice over the speed limit in a school zone, that makes the whole thing even worse because that means she, with full conscience, chose to be an absolute danger to society.
What you need to keep in mind, is that because it was a school zone, the speed limit was probably lowered from 35 to 20 as you would often see in school zones that are letting kids out. So she was probably going almost 4 times the speed limit.
The whole story smells a bit fishy to me. OP removed an unconscious child from a car, without there being an immediate need for it (the car being on fire, or in the middle of the road etc) and then being told by the ambulance crew that he did the right thing. Yeah, sorry, but you shouldn't move traffic victims unless there is a need for it or you have the training and equipment for it (which OP quite clearly didn't, judging from what was told about the way he removed her from the car) and if anything he should've been scolded for that.
@@nehcrum from the story "Middle of the road" sounds plausible for me and the car itself can be dangerous too (i.e. airbags that have not blown), not to mention the possibility of unseen and life threatening injuries. As much as I know, there is no perfect approach for first responders and what one should do and shouldn't changes with time and depending on the person you are asking. greetings from germany
OMG, that last story is so heart touching!! MVP goes to OP for defusing that situation so beautifully. Instead of getting angry by the what the Entitled Mom treated her, she tried to understand her and help her. Empathy right there man :’)
Oh my, that last story was amazing. That was what she needed. She wasn’t really a Karen just a stressed out mom. Thank you to the person in the last story.
More like the Karen preventer. That lady was not a Karen yet. She was starting on the path to become one. OP prevented her from continuing on it by offering understanding and compassion. By opening another path.
Story 1 - I'd like to hear the husband's side of the story before passing judgment, however, given only what we know? He really is being dumb for not supporting his wife in this one. His mother is invading their privacy. Would he have wanted her doing that when he was a teenager? As this story goes, the OP didn't humiliate the husband's mom at Christmas dinner - she did that to herself. Last story - That was a beautiful example of Christ-like behavior from the OP. Empathy, patience, and kindness where it was needed.
That last story was really great to hear today. I needed a dose of people just reaching out to one another, and I’d like to think that Tommy’s mom really needs OP with that situation. OP sounds like the “I will kick some @$$ if anyone hurts you” kind of friend. She’s tough but kind. I really hope everything is working out better.
How long do you think it will be before OP's hubby gives his mother a real key to the house? If he does, I hope the next thing OP does is make a stop at the first good divorce attorney she can find.
unbelievable but i suggest counselling, make the husband see how wrong his mother is ! when he does not get it, divorce ... ( entitled clan ?, only 2 , the rest laughed at her ) Also op and husband, if one says no, then it is no, need 2 to say yes, a real 50/50 partnership ! Put up camera's, certainly in the hallway to the bedroom ! why does the nosy crap mil have any business there ?
1st story: I'll also add to what Dark Fluff said- The Entitled mother didn't have to bring it up at Christmas dinner in front of everyone- she did it to embarrass OP. OP just turned the tables- not her fault. NTA
Hope there’s an update for story 1. Screw the sister, mom and Husband. I’m not giving yo a key to my house if you’re gonna use it for your own evil deeds. If I was her in that situation and the husband yelled at me I would have flat out said “we’re over when we get back.” with a smile lol
Or, OP can inform her husband where he is wrong & let him know that she (OP) is no longer going to put up with MIL's bs. Then OP can let hubby know he has a choice between her or his mommy. Sometimes this does work, it did for me (DH knows I will not put up with crap from ANYONE) 😈
@@Lynn-kh5rs that’s a good suggestion. I’d personally be done with them because at that point your a grown ass adult listening to your mommy. Getting mad at your own wife for respecting both of your own boundaries by giving your mother a fake house key because she literally walked in on them having sex.
Story 2: Not allowing children to ruin an important project does *not* stifle said children's creativity. Welcome to the word "vandalism", Karen. Also, *don't* physically try to get someone's attention when they're on a step-ladder by doing something like tugging their pants. You could accidentally pull them off the stepladder and cause them to fall on you.
In the first story I’m going to be real here and say I would have done the same thing to even my own mother. Family does not mean you’re entitled to enter my home whenever you want.
For those wondering, the reason car seats MUST be in the back seat of cars with airbags is because if the seat is in the front seat and the airbag deploys, it will probably severely injure the kid in the car seat and has a chance of killing them, ESPECIALLY if the car seat is the type that belts in with the back of the seat facing the front of the car - it's FAR too close to the dash and when the airbag deploys, it will smash into the back of the car seat like a cannonball... Airbags are NOT something to treat lightly, they have one HELL of a lot of power in them when they deploy...if you want proof, just look on You Tube for idiots in junk yards putting airbags taken from wrecks under a barrel and setting them off...the barrel disappears in less time than it takes you to blink... I used to drive Tractor Trailers for a living, whenever a trailer of Airbags is delivered to the car factory, that trailer ALWAYS has the Orange Class 1 Explosives Hazmat Placards on them because that's EXACTLY what they use to deploy the bag in a crash...an Explosive Charge...
Dunno about US, but the law looks different over here, especially since there are car seats specifically designed to be placed in the front seat and there is a way to disable the airbag on the passenger side.
@@nehcrum The standards airbags are designed to are also different. US airbags are required to restrain a driver who isn't wearing a seatbelt. So US airbags are designed to inflate to a volume of 70 liters in 50ms, while European airbags only inflate to 30 liters in 50ms. With the airbag inflating to twice the volume, passengers are at greater risk of injury from the airbag deployment. Disabling the airbag in the US is also illegal, unless you submit a written request to NHTSA and, if approved, have the work done by an authorized dealer or shop. Not sure if that includes the passenger-side airbag.
@@rogerrabbit80 In my car, the passenger-side airbag is disabled with a key--lock inside the glove compartment, that can only be turned using the car-key.
Good stories today, all of them! The last one wasn't at all what I thought it would be, and is actually really touching. Often, people are angry when they're in an impossible situation, or one that's beyond their power to change. Some internalize it and become depressed; some take out their anger on others. OP's own insight helped diffuse a potential blowup; how kind to offer a potential Karen help, and take a little of the burden off her shoulders. (It wouldn't necessarily work with other angry people, of course.) My hat's off to OP for her kindness, sensitivity, and generosity! 👏👍❤
Story 4: OP and his' family are some of the nicest people i've ever heard about on Reddit, Karen on the other hand belongs in a Cage!! Reckless driving is like trying to commit Murder with a Double-edged Sword
Story 1: If MIL feels humiliated that is totally on her, not OP. OP is not responsible how another person reacts to situations. Sounds more like MIL feels guilt and to feel that, she knows she was wrong. Would like to have seen that full-on Karen meltdown though.
Story 1 - This marriage will not end well if OP's husband doesn't learn to stand up to his mom and side with his wife. He cannot sit on the fence between them on every issue. His mom will lay guilt trips, wife will believe her feelings don't matter and she will give up and let him go back to his mommy. It never ceases to amaze me how a man will marry a strong woman then expect her to cow down to his Karen type mother and get mad when she doesn't... smh
Next time a parent complains that one is “stifling their child’s creativity” tell the child to go decorate mommy’s clothes or purse. Hopefully it’s very expensive designer one. Yes he’s ruining your very expensive whatever, but you shouldn’t stifle his creativity.
I call shenanigans on that story. Did you notice that OP said they were meeting the original owner to turn in the plates so they could get a refund for months not used? Yeah, no, that's not how that works. I highly doubt this story is legit.
@Nehemiah Scudder nah the whole support your partner no matter what is a bullshit statement for people with shitty partners. If your partner does something shitty and doing this with out telling him is absolutely shitty they deserve to be called out for it. The mother in law being wrong doesn't make the wife innocent
The husband in the first story is a monster. It’s not a good idea to offer advice with so little information but if the first story is being portrayed accurately then they are pure toxin and need to be avoided.
Story 1: Husband is upset that his mother has been shown to be a boundary-breaking, tantrum thowing child. OP should not apologize and should refuse to give a key. OP is NTA but husband and MIL certainly are.
STORY 4. I'm concerned that OP removed an unconscious, unbelted child. Not knowing what injuries are sustained, can be disastrous. Never move anyone from an accident without stability for head and neck unless conditions require. Fire, chemical...
Painting Story: Karen and her Brat should have been held for the Police and then Charged with Unlawful Entry (to the closed room), Criminal Trespassing and Vandalism... The Museum should also have forced Karen to pay for the ruined/wasted paint and OP's time to repair what Brat destroyed...by Suing her if needed...
The last one... I am so glad the mom decided to think about where she was coming from and not just her actions as she lashed out. It sounds like she's a mom's mom... and is helping another woman that is going through a bad part.
Op should have turned around and said "I'll make you a deal. I'll agree to apologise to your mother for pointing out her nosey parking nature. If YOU agree to signing the Divorce Papers". THAT will get the hint across.
Story 2: If Karen wants Creativity then how about this: I've would've painted Karen standing next to the mural looking angry and tell everyone that this woman hates the Mural and got kicked out for trying to change it, BOOM Da Vinci Masterpiece
That last one was packed full of wholesome ☺️ grade A+ parenting and grade A+ empathy for the other mom who’s just scared, stressed and trapped with an abusive alcoholic. Hope she found her way out of that situation.
First story---get rid of that momma's boy, and his entire family---good on you for giving the MIL a fake key, and calling her out for invading your privacy! One year is not long enough to put up with that kind of bulls**t.
I work as a floor manager (title is “customer experience manager”) at a big box craft store, and most days I listen to one or two on your videos before I go into work. Two reasons: 1- to remind myself that whatever I’m about to experience, it’s probably not as bad as this. 2- if it DOES get this bad (hasn’t so far! Yay!) that I’m not alone
First story - Excellent - MIL got caught in her own trap when she complained that the "emergency" key to OP's house didn't work. Really? What was the emergency? Wanting to snoop is not an emergency.
1st story, divorce your husband. If he won't stand up for you now he never will. Your in for a bad marriage with a mommy's boy whose mom is a self entitled witch.
Story 1 - Had that been my MIL, when she accused me of giving her a fake key, I'd have laughed and said "Do you really think I'm foolish enough to trust you with a real key?". I wouldn't care what anyone's reaction is, my privacy matters. I respect others privacy and demand that same respect in return.
Story 1 not only did she lie and try to use it for a non emergency, but she literally tried doing it while they weren't home. She was at least trying to snoop through their things, who knows what else. I remember another story where op caught her mil trying on her underwear.
In the last story, Tommy's mom should definitely get away from her husband. If he would treat his own son like that, there's no telling what kind of abuse he puts her through. I love how OP used kindness and understanding to deescalate Tommy's mom.
Story 5 - So glad the OP was willing to look beyond the yelling to see a hurting person. Not every time is that the circumstance, but this time it was.
Should have asked the husband if having his mom walk in on them was his kink. Because I can't imagine why he's okay with he coming in when ever she wants.
EMT here. The story about the car wreck: Unless there is imminent danger, especially to unconscious victims in a car wreck, you do not move them. You can check airway, breathing, level of consciousness, visible injuries/bleeding without moving them. An unconscious person can't tell you where they hurt, and unless you're Superman with x-ray vision, you can't see if they have an unstable spine injury. Response times for EMS are very good, so the unconscious child shouldn't have been removed. Also, before anyone says, "but the paramedics said he did good." From experience I can tell you on almost every accident scene, there's always the guy who needs to tell the medics about his first aid, CPR certification etc and all about what he did before they got there. On a busy accident scene it was very normal to say "yeah, yup, you did good, thanks, yada yada," while trying to assess, triage and treat on a multi-victim incident. But no, don't move people unless it's too dangerous for them to remain. Despite what you see in movies, it's very rare for a car to burst into flames. There are very specific ways to move people with possible spinal injuries. If you don't follow them and end up assisting that patient into paraplegia world, nobody is going to thank you and you'll feel cruddy about it forever. I'm glad everything turned out ok.
Not just ignoring that the mother lied about the key but that she decides to wait several days till xmas dinner to bring it up in front of eachother. Yet instead it's her fault for ruining dinner? Bs.
On story 4, as an FYI, unless you are trained in extracting a patient from a vehicle, do NOT try to take an unconscious person out unless the vehicle is on fire or otherwise in a dangerous way. Op knew what to do, but most people don't. Check vitals in place, make sure they're breathing. Without proper training and equipment, you can seriously injure a person.
Exactly Hollywood have made most people thinking the car will explode by just bumping into something and that is another thing if the car is diesel powered it will never explode since diesel aint explosive
yeesh, story 3 (video title's story) is just sad. Cops gave her every single chance to realize her error and walk away, but nope! Frankly I'm glad she was stubborn. This sort of entitlement needs punishment, not warnings.
My (much) older sister did the same thing, promising "emergency use only". While at work, I got a call from my next door neighbor about the 120 decibel siren I had hooked up to an alarm system that "I accidentally forgot to tell her about"! Next thing I did was change the lock!!!
Not me crying my eyes out at that last story... Oh my goodness... the compassion that OP showed that women, looking past her horrible attitude and offering her kindness... I know her life changed that day.. That sort of beautiful story is just so heart warming... there really are some great people out there. An example to live by!
Okay, that last OP is some fantasy mom. The way she manages that phone call is pretty cool. Well done. The way she trats her kids is normal for me, that is how it should be. My husband and I were raised like that and we traet our kids similar. But I am not sure, i'd have had the insight to help Tommy's mom.
"My husband is a lawyer! You'll be hearing from us!" And you will be hearing from our lawyers for the damage caused by your son, ma'am. Have a nice day!
I'm pretty sure I've heard that last story before. We "adopted" my daughter's boyfriend when he turned 18, because of how his home life was at his mother's house. His mother was abusive and his stepdad wasn't much better. Her name is actually Karen and the adopted one said, "She's the manager of the Karens." He's been living with us for over 2 years now.
The 1st story - OH HELL NO!! OP is NTA!! The husband, MIL and SIL are TA in this case!! MIL already has 2 strikes against her for walking in on OP and husband being intimate knowing the key was for emergencies only. Husband and SIL should support OP for giving MIL a fake key!!
1 of my ex friends. She got her license here in USA. She’s from another country and here on a visa. She was a licensed driver for only 13 hours. Yes. 13. A street nearby has 1 lane going north and 1 lane going south had a school zone, a school too.. 2 blocks after are apartments and houses. A school bus stops. Helps 2 kids get out. 1 has a mom waiting. The other the bus driver helps to make it across the street. My ex friend didn’t care about the stop sign from the bus. She went on the wrong side of the road, speeding up to fly by… well she hit the child. Full speed, and he went flying into a tree and was in a wheelchair for his foot and both legs. Took years for him to recover… she blamed the school bus for stopping. Blamed the kid for crossing the road, blamed the kid for being a kid… she called me and when I explained she is wrong. Realized reality set in. The police explained too. She wanted another chance. Well she won’t. She got arrested because she hit the bus driver and both police officers. Oh and pushing the paramedics off the kid while saying he is faking.. she’s now regretting it and lost her friends and family over it
Story 1, hell no, do not apologize, do not allow crazy into your house and if your husband is sticking to his ways do not have kids as you will not be with him for long.
Parents who tell her kids go do something when someone else is doing it frustrated the hell out of me, most of the time it’s for safety and you would think a mother would want to protect her kid but I guess I’m wrong. Saying To a kid do whatever you want is one of the worst things you could do as a parent. What’s your kids plain and simple and if you can’t leave them at home with a babysitter
@@Groza_Dallocort exactly, they are conscious, alive and have enough energy to scream. The ones not screaming are the ones in serious trouble because they are pass the point that they are able to call for help. Actually, that’s rule #3. Rule #1 is “Call for help first, then act.” In this case, call 911, then help the people in the car. Rule #2 is “make sure you are not adding your name to the list of victims.” If you see a room full on unmoving people on the ground. Walking in that room is not the best idea you had that day. Look for the reason people are like this first.
But then the husband probably woulda told his mom. And honestly, the mom doesn't need an emergency key for any reason if she has a history of snooping around.
Blindsided?! His Mom should not have had a key to begin with!! Having had the Mom walk in twice while they were being intimate was reason enough for the Mom to never have a key!! That is so creepy and he should have put his foot down with her not ever getting a key again!! Who the heck just walks into someone's home uninvited just because they have a key for emergencies? No one in their right mind!! The husband should have put his foot down and told his Mom that she can't have a key! Imagine just for a minute what that woman must have been going through. Sorry can't have sex with you because your Mom might come in any minute! Giving someone a key is a matter of trust. Trust that they won't use it unless emergency . They don't have the authorization to walk in anytime they chose. The mom busted herself saying key didn't work. That husband was a coward who didn't stick up for his wife. In my opinion she did what she had to do to stop the madness of the mother-in-law!
@@lisagress5009 I have a friend who went to the hospital one time, and they basically had to cut his clothes off of him for some reason. He gave me an emergency key to his place, and I gave him one to my place. When he was being released he called me asking me to get him some clothes using the key to get in. I did so, and even gave him a ride home. Thankfully he has never had need to use my key. What I'm getting at is I trust this man with my life, and he is the same as me. We even call each other Brothers.
I am so grateful that I grew up and found a husband who had good parents. My MIL didn't always go along with my ideas, but she didn't try to make them look bad.
I hope the happy ending, for the last story, is that Tommy and his mom found a way to safely stand up for themselves; a safe place to live; and, happy/loving lives.
Lying, yes. Manipulating? No. MIL, on her own, chose to try to enter the house when there wasn't an actual emergency. MIL, on her own, chose to bring it up at Christmas dinner, so MIL is the one who "ruined Christmas dinner for the whole family". MIL humiliated herself. OP's husband needs to grow a pair and tell his mom to get a grip.
Exactly! Well said.
Exactly. I think MIL intentionally chose that time to make OP look bad, and it backfired.
YES!
If MIL is that way, and her family has ‘accepted’ it, then OP should seriously consider whether she wants to remain in that relationship.
@Destination Chronicles Agreed, MIL flat-out lied to OP and what's worse is that her husband backed his own mother up on it. OP should divorce her Husband if he is willing to side with his own mother.
"That's how she is" meaning "We can't be bothered to deal with this person's bad behaviour" OP's husband seems just as bad!
Yeah, but there's an easy solution for that one... no key for you! Problem solved.
Story #2: OP needs to get out of that marriage ASAP!
Some people just don’t care.
Also known as the "missing stair" effect: The family has developed (bad) coping mechanisms like giving the ML whatever she wants to avoid the melt-downs and has gotten so used to this insanity that they are surprised that anybody else would expect them to 'repair' that problem instead of just keeping to assuage the ML ( = hop over the missing stair).
It's a crying shame that something like that might mess up a marriage. And I really have difficulties believing that a man would have his mother walk in on him in intimate moments _twice_ and after that still back her up.
I feel kind of bad for OP's husband. He had to grow up with her as a mother, and that's just his normal. I get that it doesn't excuse his behavior towards his wife, but being raised while everyone around you tells you "that's just how your mother is" will understandably have lasting effects on someone. I think he and his wife need to take a moment to cool off then sit down and talk to each other. That and/or couple's therapy.
Story 5: OP is a Saint, she gave the other mom's son a safe Haven and when the mom got consumed by stress OP helped her and made a friend, 5 Star parenting/Being a Good Person
What an absolute hero
Bless that woman. I pray things are okay now, and that the scared woman dumped her shit hubby.
I had friends like that bad home life always found my friends at my house
Damn straight. Ain't no quarrelling with the size of her heart, is there? In case anyone is wondering, that's a compliment.
Not kidding sometimes I come home to my friend hanging out of my house with my dog we left the door unlocked for them
Story 1: The mother waited for the dinner to talk about it and in front of everyone to humiliate and punish you and when you threw it back then she and your husband got mad. So he won't defend your actions but will defend hers.
Hope OP filed for divorce... if he takes his Mommy's side over his wife's, he doesn't deserve to be married. To anyone.
@@aqacefan yes
Exactly, why didn’t your husband stand by you. I think you might have mil problem and a husband problem. Why is it ok for mil to call you out but not you calling her out.
Turnabout is a fair play.
OP, stand your ground. Remind your husband of the times she walked in on your husband in your apt. Also, get security cameras.
Mom in the last story needs to write a book about parenting and being a good person in general. That is epic levels of respect for others.
Once our kids became adults, they no longer had a curfew. We only had one rule, "Don't make us worry." In other words, go where you want to go, just let us know where and when is all. We did the same when we would leave. It's called respect. I now live w/my younger son and his wife and it's great. We live more as roommates, but it's MY house, lol.
that...and to always you protection....and if you brought someone...to keep the sound down , hip gyrating reasonable...and decoy audio to mask any potential sound...
because it was better to ...well get it on or ...do lettuce at home than out on the street or something and risk getting caught....and quite frankly....i appreciated meanwhile i do have some friends that have gotten caught out in public...for rug use...or smashing...
and in case it slipped by anyone...they meant cex....and pot
they gave trust and ...it allowed a good amount of transparency and lead to a good future....now i can say I'm college educated, i have a home , a car i love , a great job (not in my field) and not in debt....so i guess you can say it's great parenting...
If I go somewhere with my two BFF'S I always leave a note for my mom telling her where I've gone, who I'm with and when I'll be back my little brother never did that when he was living at home
Jst like my mil when we lived with her :)
I loved the last story and could relate somewhat. My daughter, almost seventeen now, had a friend when they were in middle school who liked to come over and stay for the weekends. She was nice and always helpful. She always rinsed out her dishes after dinner, would always ask if I needed help when she’d catch me cleaning and so on. She would even tell me that she liked to clean. It always helped clear her mind. I did a double take on that statement. But it’s how she was wired and still is. It makes sense now though.
Now, she was only like twelve or thirteen and through our conversations, she had explained to me that she would’ve been doing all of the chores in the house. Sadly, her mom and dad used drugs, were separated, and sometimes she’d find herself alone for a couple of days because her mom would leave her alone doing drugs and who knows what else. Thankfully, her grandma took her in, but it wasn’t all peaches and cream there either.
One late night, she had told my daughter that she hated living and was going to kill herself. This had been before I had really gotten to know her, and when she had just moved, so I didn’t have her grandma’s number, which I had sworn and kicked myself for not having it. I’m pretty sure I did that the whole way to Grandma’s house while I had been driving as fast as I could get away within our small town. It took me fifteen minutes to even get over there. I went because I didn’t want to take the chance that she would. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself knowing that I might have been able to prevent it.
Thankfully, and a bit unbelievably, she was alright by the time her aunt had answered the door. Her aunt was about 20 years younger than me, and she was so not happy to see me there that late. When we both finally figured it all out, I left knowing that she was safe and in better hands with her strict aunt.
The next day, I even got a call from her other aunt who was a bit older. She wanted to know who the hell I was and made no bones about it. Hey, I would’ve probably have been the same way, so it hadn’t bothered me at all. We had even started getting along over our conversation that had lasted at least an hour, if not more. Heck, her and I are still pretty good friends and see each other at least once a month for an escape and ice cream ride. The other aunt and I became good friends too. To be honest, I had really liked the aunts and Grandpa, but that had been it out of their family. I did have all of their numbers in short order though.
Anyways, my daughter’s friend would easily stay up to five days in a row when she had been with her Grandparents. As long as I gave her medicine every night, they were good and never once called or texted while she would stay with us. I could never understand that. Five days without any communication? She didn’t have a phone either, she was too young for something so expensive, which I understood. I just couldn’t understand why no one at the grandparents home would reach out and talk to her. It tore me up. So, for the two summers, she would stay with us days on end. Wherever we went, she went too. She was a good kid who had been dealt a pretty rotten hand. In my opinion.
Her Dad sobered up, quit drugs, and moved the two of them down to the southern part of our state at the end of the second summer. I still reach out to her here and there, and I still love that sweet and troubled girl. She really wiggled her way into my heart, and she will always have a place there.
Last story, It was nice to hear someone try to use empathy to reason with someone. Sometimes a person just needs to know that someone, anyone, cares. What a kind, wise, lady.
I think the best happy ending in the last story would be for the boy's mother to sever that toxic relationship.
Story 4: The only way this whole ordeal could have been somewhat explainable would be if the mom was drunk or under the influence of something. If that's not why she went twice over the speed limit in a school zone, that makes the whole thing even worse because that means she, with full conscience, chose to be an absolute danger to society.
In my personal experience, nothing makes a person as entitled as driving a car.
What you need to keep in mind, is that because it was a school zone, the speed limit was probably lowered from 35 to 20 as you would often see in school zones that are letting kids out. So she was probably going almost 4 times the speed limit.
DUI is also to be a deliberate danger to society... it's an aggravating circumstance, not an explanation or excuse.
The whole story smells a bit fishy to me. OP removed an unconscious child from a car, without there being an immediate need for it (the car being on fire, or in the middle of the road etc) and then being told by the ambulance crew that he did the right thing.
Yeah, sorry, but you shouldn't move traffic victims unless there is a need for it or you have the training and equipment for it (which OP quite clearly didn't, judging from what was told about the way he removed her from the car) and if anything he should've been scolded for that.
@@nehcrum from the story "Middle of the road" sounds plausible for me and the car itself can be dangerous too (i.e. airbags that have not blown), not to mention the possibility of unseen and life threatening injuries.
As much as I know, there is no perfect approach for first responders and what one should do and shouldn't changes with time and depending on the person you are asking.
greetings from germany
OMG, that last story is so heart touching!! MVP goes to OP for defusing that situation so beautifully. Instead of getting angry by the what the Entitled Mom treated her, she tried to understand her and help her. Empathy right there man :’)
Oh my, that last story was amazing. That was what she needed. She wasn’t really a Karen just a stressed out mom. Thank you to the person in the last story.
The legends are true, the one has come, The Karen Whisperer. The op in that last story totally Tai chi-ed that Karen.
The Sacred One has arrived! The one who can calm even a Karen has come!
More like the Karen preventer. That lady was not a Karen yet. She was starting on the path to become one. OP prevented her from continuing on it by offering understanding and compassion. By opening another path.
Love the Karen Whisperer. People will often be receptive when they run into someone who really cares.
Story 1 - I'd like to hear the husband's side of the story before passing judgment, however, given only what we know? He really is being dumb for not supporting his wife in this one. His mother is invading their privacy. Would he have wanted her doing that when he was a teenager? As this story goes, the OP didn't humiliate the husband's mom at Christmas dinner - she did that to herself.
Last story - That was a beautiful example of Christ-like behavior from the OP. Empathy, patience, and kindness where it was needed.
That last story was really great to hear today. I needed a dose of people just reaching out to one another, and I’d like to think that Tommy’s mom really needs OP with that situation. OP sounds like the “I will kick some @$$ if anyone hurts you” kind of friend. She’s tough but kind. I really hope everything is working out better.
The second best kind of friend to have.
The best is "I need to hide a body." "Give me ten minutes, how are we doing this?"
Story one: OP is not the A hole, she needs to divorce hubby and distance herself from the whole entitled clan
Oh yeah, definitely. He’s just as entitled as his mom. Like mother, like son.
Drop that mommas boy like a bad habit
How long do you think it will be before OP's hubby gives his mother a real key to the house? If he does, I hope the next thing OP does is make a stop at the first good divorce attorney she can find.
@@tinydancer7426 why wait that long? OP should start looking yesterday.
unbelievable but i suggest counselling, make the husband see how wrong his mother is !
when he does not get it, divorce ... ( entitled clan ?, only 2 , the rest laughed at her )
Also op and husband, if one says no, then it is no, need 2 to say yes, a real 50/50 partnership !
Put up camera's, certainly in the hallway to the bedroom ! why does the nosy crap mil have any business there ?
1st story: I'll also add to what Dark Fluff said- The Entitled mother didn't have to bring it up at Christmas dinner in front of everyone- she did it to embarrass OP. OP just turned the tables- not her fault. NTA
Listening to the last story I was thinking Tommy was like 15-16 ish, but 19 years old with a curfew?! What the hell
That last story absolutely broke my heart. There needs to be more people like this!😭
Hope there’s an update for story 1. Screw the sister, mom and Husband. I’m not giving yo a key to my house if you’re gonna use it for your own evil deeds. If I was her in that situation and the husband yelled at me I would have flat out said “we’re over when we get back.” with a smile lol
Husband can sleep in the yard until the divorce papers fully go through.
Or, OP can inform her husband where he is wrong & let him know that she (OP) is no longer going to put up with MIL's bs. Then OP can let hubby know he has a choice between her or his mommy. Sometimes this does work, it did for me (DH knows I will not put up with crap from ANYONE) 😈
@@Lynn-kh5rs that’s a good suggestion. I’d personally be done with them because at that point your a grown ass adult listening to your mommy. Getting mad at your own wife for respecting both of your own boundaries by giving your mother a fake house key because she literally walked in on them having sex.
He'd definitely at minimum enjoy the couch for a LONG TIME until he grew some huevos.
And he'd become real good friends with Rosy Palm & her 5 sisters too.
Story 2: Not allowing children to ruin an important project does *not* stifle said children's creativity. Welcome to the word "vandalism", Karen.
Also, *don't* physically try to get someone's attention when they're on a step-ladder by doing something like tugging their pants. You could accidentally pull them off the stepladder and cause them to fall on you.
The paint fumes are toxic. Call child protection services.
This person reminds me of the twit who treated a museum as a child’s play place, and the consequences resulted in a $300,000 bill.
Story 1- OP wasn't the one who started the argument at Christmas dinner, she was. Husband needs to respect his wife.
In the first story I’m going to be real here and say I would have done the same thing to even my own mother. Family does not mean you’re entitled to enter my home whenever you want.
That first story…no need to apologize. She needs to explain why she was there.
For those wondering, the reason car seats MUST be in the back seat of cars with airbags is because if the seat is in the front seat and the airbag deploys, it will probably severely injure the kid in the car seat and has a chance of killing them, ESPECIALLY if the car seat is the type that belts in with the back of the seat facing the front of the car - it's FAR too close to the dash and when the airbag deploys, it will smash into the back of the car seat like a cannonball...
Airbags are NOT something to treat lightly, they have one HELL of a lot of power in them when they deploy...if you want proof, just look on You Tube for idiots in junk yards putting airbags taken from wrecks under a barrel and setting them off...the barrel disappears in less time than it takes you to blink...
I used to drive Tractor Trailers for a living, whenever a trailer of Airbags is delivered to the car factory, that trailer ALWAYS has the Orange Class 1 Explosives Hazmat Placards on them because that's EXACTLY what they use to deploy the bag in a crash...an Explosive Charge...
IIRC, airbags actually decapitated several kids sitting in front seats/front car seats.
Dunno about US, but the law looks different over here, especially since there are car seats specifically designed to be placed in the front seat and there is a way to disable the airbag on the passenger side.
@@nehcrum The standards airbags are designed to are also different. US airbags are required to restrain a driver who isn't wearing a seatbelt. So US airbags are designed to inflate to a volume of 70 liters in 50ms, while European airbags only inflate to 30 liters in 50ms.
With the airbag inflating to twice the volume, passengers are at greater risk of injury from the airbag deployment.
Disabling the airbag in the US is also illegal, unless you submit a written request to NHTSA and, if approved, have the work done by an authorized dealer or shop. Not sure if that includes the passenger-side airbag.
@@rogerrabbit80 In my car, the passenger-side airbag is disabled with a key--lock inside the glove compartment, that can only be turned using the car-key.
That last one got me right in the feels!
Like, wow. Such a wholesome, refreshing change!
Mad props to op in that one. Woman/mother/human of the year!
Good stories today, all of them! The last one wasn't at all what I thought it would be, and is actually really touching. Often, people are angry when they're in an impossible situation, or one that's beyond their power to change. Some internalize it and become depressed; some take out their anger on others. OP's own insight helped diffuse a potential blowup; how kind to offer a potential Karen help, and take a little of the burden off her shoulders. (It wouldn't necessarily work with other angry people, of course.) My hat's off to OP for her kindness, sensitivity, and generosity! 👏👍❤
Story 4: OP and his' family are some of the nicest people i've ever heard about on Reddit,
Karen on the other hand belongs in a Cage!! Reckless driving is like trying to commit Murder with a Double-edged Sword
The final story was amazing.
OP acted so maturely it blew me away.
Story 1: If MIL feels humiliated that is totally on her, not OP. OP is not responsible how another person reacts to situations. Sounds more like MIL feels guilt and to feel that, she knows she was wrong. Would like to have seen that full-on Karen meltdown though.
Story 1 - This marriage will not end well if OP's husband doesn't learn to stand up to his mom and side with his wife. He cannot sit on the fence between them on every issue. His mom will lay guilt trips, wife will believe her feelings don't matter and she will give up and let him go back to his mommy. It never ceases to amaze me how a man will marry a strong woman then expect her to cow down to his Karen type mother and get mad when she doesn't... smh
Next time a parent complains that one is “stifling their child’s creativity” tell the child to go decorate mommy’s clothes or purse. Hopefully it’s very expensive designer one.
Yes he’s ruining your very expensive whatever, but you shouldn’t stifle his creativity.
Hey kid, have a set of keys, your mom's car door is your canvas. If she says "no", then she's stifling your creativity.
So stealing is when you buy something that someone else wanted, according to the crazy person in that first car story.
I call shenanigans on that story. Did you notice that OP said they were meeting the original owner to turn in the plates so they could get a refund for months not used? Yeah, no, that's not how that works. I highly doubt this story is legit.
Story 1. Divorce the momma's boy and take everything.
How is it mommas boy. He rightfully called out the wife for pulling that shit behind his back.
@Nehemiah Scudder nah the whole support your partner no matter what is a bullshit statement for people with shitty partners. If your partner does something shitty and doing this with out telling him is absolutely shitty they deserve to be called out for it. The mother in law being wrong doesn't make the wife innocent
@Nehemiah Scudder gave the mil the fake key with out telling her husband. Doing that shit behind his back to family is fucked up
@@totalldwarf640 So entering someone house as your please is a good one? Might as well give me your location right now so I can went in your house
What flame war did I just walk into?
The husband in the first story is a monster. It’s not a good idea to offer advice with so little information but if the first story is being portrayed accurately then they are pure toxin and need to be avoided.
Wrong
@@totalldwarf640 : unlikely. Being wrong about things really isn’t my forte.
Story 1: Husband is upset that his mother has been shown to be a boundary-breaking, tantrum thowing child. OP should not apologize and should refuse to give a key. OP is NTA but husband and MIL certainly are.
STORY 4. I'm concerned that OP removed an unconscious, unbelted child. Not knowing what injuries are sustained, can be disastrous. Never move anyone from an accident without stability for head and neck unless conditions require. Fire, chemical...
Painting Story: Karen and her Brat should have been held for the Police and then Charged with Unlawful Entry (to the closed room), Criminal Trespassing and Vandalism...
The Museum should also have forced Karen to pay for the ruined/wasted paint and OP's time to repair what Brat destroyed...by Suing her if needed...
The last one... I am so glad the mom decided to think about where she was coming from and not just her actions as she lashed out. It sounds like she's a mom's mom... and is helping another woman that is going through a bad part.
Op should have turned around and said "I'll make you a deal. I'll agree to apologise to your mother for pointing out her nosey parking nature. If YOU agree to signing the Divorce Papers". THAT will get the hint across.
What a wholesome last story.
Story 2: If Karen wants Creativity then how about this: I've would've painted Karen standing next to the mural looking angry and tell everyone that this woman hates the Mural and got kicked out for trying to change it, BOOM Da Vinci Masterpiece
I'd let Karen get creative explaining 'child neglect' to the cops.
No, he should have told the kid to finger paint on his mom. That way the kid also can take the painting home with him🤣
A happy ending for that last story would be the wife leaving the alcoholic husband safely, not the kids marrying. I hope OP helped her get out!
I bet Fluff would be the best at dealing with entitled people- he has the most learned experience reading all these crazy stories
Story 3: Karen: If I pretend that it's mine maybe people will believe me, Flawless plan
I really think the lady was delusional to the point she actually believed what she was saying.
@@condorboss3339 I'd go one step further and call that being narcissistic.
That last one was packed full of wholesome ☺️ grade A+ parenting and grade A+ empathy for the other mom who’s just scared, stressed and trapped with an abusive alcoholic. Hope she found her way out of that situation.
First story---get rid of that momma's boy, and his entire family---good on you for giving the MIL a fake key, and calling her out for invading your privacy! One year is not long enough to put up with that kind of bulls**t.
That last story was so nice at the end. OP really is a good mother.
I work as a floor manager (title is “customer experience manager”) at a big box craft store, and most days I listen to one or two on your videos before I go into work. Two reasons:
1- to remind myself that whatever I’m about to experience, it’s probably not as bad as this.
2- if it DOES get this bad (hasn’t so far! Yay!) that I’m not alone
Wife is NOT the A-hole. Agree, he should NOT have given his mom the key.
First story - Excellent - MIL got caught in her own trap when she complained that the "emergency" key to OP's house didn't work. Really? What was the emergency? Wanting to snoop is not an emergency.
1st story, divorce your husband.
If he won't stand up for you now he never will.
Your in for a bad marriage with a mommy's boy whose mom is a self entitled witch.
Story 1 - Had that been my MIL, when she accused me of giving her a fake key, I'd have laughed and said "Do you really think I'm foolish enough to trust you with a real key?". I wouldn't care what anyone's reaction is, my privacy matters. I respect others privacy and demand that same respect in return.
2:00
if the husband sides with the mother, that's a self-serving divorce paper right there.
Story 1 not only did she lie and try to use it for a non emergency, but she literally tried doing it while they weren't home. She was at least trying to snoop through their things, who knows what else. I remember another story where op caught her mil trying on her underwear.
MIL gets away with that behaviour because no one has told her otherwise.
That last story ended up so wholesomely, it's very rare you see that happen in an EntitledParents story, but I dig it.
In the last story, Tommy's mom should definitely get away from her husband. If he would treat his own son like that, there's no telling what kind of abuse he puts her through. I love how OP used kindness and understanding to deescalate Tommy's mom.
Story 5 - So glad the OP was willing to look beyond the yelling to see a hurting person. Not every time is that the circumstance, but this time it was.
Should have asked the husband if having his mom walk in on them was his kink. Because I can't imagine why he's okay with he coming in when ever she wants.
EMT here. The story about the car wreck: Unless there is imminent danger, especially to unconscious victims in a car wreck, you do not move them. You can check airway, breathing, level of consciousness, visible injuries/bleeding without moving them. An unconscious person can't tell you where they hurt, and unless you're Superman with x-ray vision, you can't see if they have an unstable spine injury.
Response times for EMS are very good, so the unconscious child shouldn't have been removed.
Also, before anyone says, "but the paramedics said he did good." From experience I can tell you on almost every accident scene, there's always the guy who needs to tell the medics about his first aid, CPR certification etc and all about what he did before they got there. On a busy accident scene it was very normal to say "yeah, yup, you did good, thanks, yada yada," while trying to assess, triage and treat on a multi-victim incident.
But no, don't move people unless it's too dangerous for them to remain. Despite what you see in movies, it's very rare for a car to burst into flames.
There are very specific ways to move people with possible spinal injuries. If you don't follow them and end up assisting that patient into paraplegia world, nobody is going to thank you and you'll feel cruddy about it forever.
I'm glad everything turned out ok.
Story 1: OP is NOT the A-hole. How can people possibly get that entitled?
Not just ignoring that the mother lied about the key but that she decides to wait several days till xmas dinner to bring it up in front of eachother. Yet instead it's her fault for ruining dinner? Bs.
On story 4, as an FYI, unless you are trained in extracting a patient from a vehicle, do NOT try to take an unconscious person out unless the vehicle is on fire or otherwise in a dangerous way. Op knew what to do, but most people don't. Check vitals in place, make sure they're breathing. Without proper training and equipment, you can seriously injure a person.
Exactly Hollywood have made most people thinking the car will explode by just bumping into something and that is another thing if the car is diesel powered it will never explode since diesel aint explosive
Even then, op didn't have a C-collar or back brace. They could've checked pulse and breathing in the vehicle.
yeesh, story 3 (video title's story) is just sad. Cops gave her every single chance to realize her error and walk away, but nope! Frankly I'm glad she was stubborn. This sort of entitlement needs punishment, not warnings.
My (much) older sister did the same thing, promising "emergency use only". While at work, I got a call from my next door neighbor about the 120 decibel siren I had hooked up to an alarm system that "I accidentally forgot to tell her about"!
Next thing I did was change the lock!!!
1st Story since the husband is not worried about his mom maybe the wife should not have relations until he learns about his mother’s emergency visit.
I could probably write enough stories about the entitled people in my family to make an episode of entitlepeople
Not me crying my eyes out at that last story...
Oh my goodness... the compassion that OP showed that women, looking past her horrible attitude and offering her kindness... I know her life changed that day..
That sort of beautiful story is just so heart warming... there really are some great people out there. An example to live by!
Okay, that last OP is some fantasy mom. The way she manages that phone call is pretty cool. Well done. The way she trats her kids is normal for me, that is how it should be. My husband and I were raised like that and we traet our kids similar. But I am not sure, i'd have had the insight to help Tommy's mom.
"My husband is a lawyer! You'll be hearing from us!"
And you will be hearing from our lawyers for the damage caused by your son, ma'am. Have a nice day!
I'm pretty sure I've heard that last story before. We "adopted" my daughter's boyfriend when he turned 18, because of how his home life was at his mother's house. His mother was abusive and his stepdad wasn't much better. Her name is actually Karen and the adopted one said, "She's the manager of the Karens." He's been living with us for over 2 years now.
The last story showed that the son's mother was at her wit's end and needed exactly what the girl's mother did.
How in hell is EVERY Karen's Husband a Lawyer? I know we have too many of the snakes but WOW, Every Karen!!!
The 1st story - OH HELL NO!! OP is NTA!! The husband, MIL and SIL are TA in this case!! MIL already has 2 strikes against her for walking in on OP and husband being intimate knowing the key was for emergencies only. Husband and SIL should support OP for giving MIL a fake key!!
1 of my ex friends. She got her license here in USA. She’s from another country and here on a visa. She was a licensed driver for only 13 hours. Yes. 13. A street nearby has 1 lane going north and 1 lane going south had a school zone, a school too.. 2 blocks after are apartments and houses. A school bus stops. Helps 2 kids get out. 1 has a mom waiting. The other the bus driver helps to make it across the street. My ex friend didn’t care about the stop sign from the bus. She went on the wrong side of the road, speeding up to fly by… well she hit the child. Full speed, and he went flying into a tree and was in a wheelchair for his foot and both legs. Took years for him to recover… she blamed the school bus for stopping. Blamed the kid for crossing the road, blamed the kid for being a kid… she called me and when I explained she is wrong. Realized reality set in. The police explained too. She wanted another chance. Well she won’t. She got arrested because she hit the bus driver and both police officers. Oh and pushing the paramedics off the kid while saying he is faking..
she’s now regretting it and lost her friends and family over it
I absolutely love you ending on a wholesome story…we need that now more than ever! ☺️💗
That's the best outcome of all. Turning a Karen into a regular person. Curing them of their entitlement. Kudos to OP!
Never heard that phrase “crotch fruit”. I laughed so hard. Still laughing 😂
The speeding story. Holy shit!!!!!!! I mean what the hell is wrong with her? What if one of her kids was kill due to her actions?
INSTANT jail time and probably divorce and revocation of parental rights
Based on her behavior, she'd probably try to sue the other driver in a wrongful death lawsuit, despite her being the one guilty of reckless homicide.
BuT iTs YoUr FaUlT!! GiVe mE yOuR kIdS!
Last story: sometimes wholesome redemption is better than righteous scorched earth revenge
Story 1: MIL should have been charged with breaking and entering, as she was in OP's home without consent on numerous occasions.
Besides my grown-up kids, no one else is allowed to have access to my house!
The last two stories... Those people are heroes. Straight up, hats off, heroes. I was honestly a bit choked up by the end of the video.
That crazy car lady would be a nightmare to live next to. I feel sorry for the lady that sold the car, stuck next to her.
Story 1: Op’s husband is going to end up divorced if he doesn’t get his shit together
Story 1, hell no, do not apologize, do not allow crazy into your house and if your husband is sticking to his ways do not have kids as you will not be with him for long.
Parents who tell her kids go do something when someone else is doing it frustrated the hell out of me, most of the time it’s for safety and you would think a mother would want to protect her kid but I guess I’m wrong. Saying To a kid do whatever you want is one of the worst things you could do as a parent. What’s your kids plain and simple and if you can’t leave them at home with a babysitter
14:00 rule 1 of first responders: screamers are not a priority.
Well they are conscious at least
@@Groza_Dallocort exactly, they are conscious, alive and have enough energy to scream. The ones not screaming are the ones in serious trouble because they are pass the point that they are able to call for help.
Actually, that’s rule #3.
Rule #1 is “Call for help first, then act.” In this case, call 911, then help the people in the car.
Rule #2 is “make sure you are not adding your name to the list of victims.” If you see a room full on unmoving people on the ground. Walking in that room is not the best idea you had that day. Look for the reason people are like this first.
giving understanding and support to someone acting out is much more satisfying than retribution, tbh
Holy crap, story 5: OP is a goddamn hero. 8 million rounds of applause for them 👏👏👏
That last one really warmed my heart.
That 4th doesn’t just need her kids taken she needs her license taken too
And her car
@@SonsOfLorgar I mean atleast it was probably totaled
Story 1: I will say, OP should probably have told her husband, at least. Kinda uncool for him to get blindsided there...
But then the husband probably woulda told his mom.
And honestly, the mom doesn't need an emergency key for any reason if she has a history of snooping around.
Blindsided?! His Mom should not have had a key to begin with!! Having had the Mom walk in twice while they were being intimate was reason enough for the Mom to never have a key!! That is so creepy and he should have put his foot down with her not ever getting a key again!! Who the heck just walks into someone's home uninvited just because they have a key for emergencies? No one in their right mind!! The husband should have put his foot down and told his Mom that she can't have a key! Imagine just for a minute what that woman must have been going through. Sorry can't have sex with you because your Mom might come in any minute! Giving someone a key is a matter of trust. Trust that they won't use it unless emergency . They don't have the authorization to walk in anytime they chose. The mom busted herself saying key didn't work. That husband was a coward who didn't stick up for his wife. In my opinion she did what she had to do to stop the madness of the mother-in-law!
@@lisagress5009 I have a friend who went to the hospital one time, and they basically had to cut his clothes off of him for some reason. He gave me an emergency key to his place, and I gave him one to my place. When he was being released he called me asking me to get him some clothes using the key to get in. I did so, and even gave him a ride home. Thankfully he has never had need to use my key.
What I'm getting at is I trust this man with my life, and he is the same as me. We even call each other Brothers.
"I am trying to give your child a safe place..." So many wrongthink alarms going off in my head at that statement.
Hey Fluff, Steve and everybody hope y'all are having a great day. The stories as usual are mind boggling and head shaking for sure!!!
I am so grateful that I grew up and found a husband who had good parents. My MIL didn't always go along with my ideas, but she didn't try to make them look bad.
Oh, no one had keys to our house, but us. Even my kids did not when they left home at adulthood.
STOP ENABLING CHILDISH BEHAVIOR IN ADULTS.
I hope the happy ending, for the last story, is that Tommy and his mom found a way to safely stand up for themselves; a safe place to live; and, happy/loving lives.
