When my Siamese kitten was stolen from my front porch, we assumed he had wandered off. We did all the usual things without results, but a few weeks later, while driving a couple of blocks from home, I saw my cat. I stopped, and walked around the car to see what was going on. MY cat saw me, ran across the lawn and jumped into my arms. We went home. A few hours later, a woman showed up at my door, bawling, said she had taken the cat from my porch because her kid thought it was pretty. She was baby-bawling - snot and tears flowing into her mouth. I kept my cat.
That happened to us too. It was 3 YEARS before we saw our cat again. It was in a fenced yard playing with two little girls. We decided to not do/say anything. The cat looked happy and well cared fo and had little kids loving on it.
The mother of the bride is a classic narcissist. I'm so glad the bride got a restraining order against her. I hope the bride went no contact after that. If a restraining order isn't a sign to go no contact, I don't know what is.
Did you come across the story where the mother wore a long white dress to the wedding? It was on one of these stories-of-horrible-people sites. That's the one I'll always remember.
The fact that Daniel responds to the teacher and not his mother speaks volumes. No one can demand love they don't deserve. Not even from their own child. And trying to force it will only drive you further apart. Honestly, I actually hope seeing someone else take two days to succeed at something she failed at for three years completely breaks her.
I am not from Asia but where I am from parents DEMAND respect from their kids and I was fine with my mom but my dad was barely home as he constantly worked and the way he demanded I respect him the same as I do my mom who is always there for me when he never once was drove us pretty far apart
It's up to the husband to change things. From his demeanor it's obvious she runs him down like a truck. If he has any love for his boy he should get them both away from this woman unless it's a financial thing which is really difficult to extract yourself from.
The cat story is a reminder for all pet owners. Get your pets microchipped. It provides an external means identification when the question of ownership comes up. It allows your pet to say "Hi my name is Maximilian. My owner is John Doe. He can be reached at XXX. Even without a collar.

I'm Chinese and can attest to how strict a lot of asian parents can be and how much they demand of their children. My mum always told me not to compare myself with others and yet would turn around and compare me to others all the time. When I was 5, she complained that my best friend was already washing her hair by herself, but my mum still had to help me with my hair. I don't remember much of my younger days, but when I was still in primary school, she made my sister and I memorise books and write them out word for word (we had to memorise one page at a time). If we got one single word wrong, we had to start over again. We weren't allowed to do anything else until we finished. She also made us memorise the times tables and not allowing us to go to bed until we did. One time my sister got fed up and fell asleep on the sofa. When my mum came down to check on us, she saw my sister sleeping and kicked her awake. Now that I have a child of my own, she constantly calls me a lazy parent because I didn't have my son potty trained by the time he was 1 year old and because he had developmental delays, including walking and speaking. I'm determined not to be the same kind of parent she was to me.
I'm really sorry that you had to endure that and I love to hear, that you don't push your kid(s) as your parents did with you. Your parents probably never heard about burn out and stress related depression (which is not only happening to adults, but kids can suffer under it too!). Not beeing potty trained by the age of 1 is not beeing delayed! Where I come from (most) parents are way more layed back. They support their babys/ kids with a rather natural development, so some babys may be potty trained by the age of 1 and others by the age of 2,5 or sth. I always feel bad for those poor kids who have to be the perfekt little baby clones of their parents and always have to witness, how they are compared to others by their own parents. That's just plain cruel, in my opinion! I feel that this completly destroys a kids selfesteem! I know that I COULD NOT wash my hair by myself when I was 5! So don't feel bad! 😉 Your kids are definetly WAY BETTER off with you as a parent! Because pushing your child to always be the best as a condition for love is just wrong. The way you handle it sounds more loving and caring!

Back when I was engaged to my ex over a decade ago, she demanded a cat..not from the pound, but bought for a ridiculous amount of cash from a pet shop as a kitten. I did it against my better judgement, just to make her happy. A week later, a note appears on my door. Someone demanding I give them "their" cat back..this kitten was freshly weaned and was bought an hour away from my neighborhood. There were several of these notes left over a month, claiming it was a "voodoo cat" and they would curse the house while getting their cat back. It was ridiculous, especially as none of these notes ever left any contact information, but threatened to break into my house to get "Their" cat back. Sadly, the fiance became the ex, she left the cat, and moved out of state. Every now and then, she will demand her cat back...he doesnt travel well, and ive been taking care of him since day one. In fact, hes still sleeping next to me..hes old now, so no one wants him, so I deal with him.
Thays awful! Poor baby! Its like a baby through thick and thin. You get them, you takenone the RESPONSIBILITY of being that babies forever home. Not "for as long as I feel like it" the babies need. And that person sounds like a scammer. Glad u didn't give in to EITHER of those FUCKING SHIT HEADS
@@melodyv7276, totally agree. My ex made a big deal of making my girl his "lap cat" but once she would sit in his lap it was over. He never took care of her otherwise and she was done with him after that. He totally didn't understand, lol.
LOL, yep. I would have said something similar. I would have said “Yeah it’s amazing what being a decent human being can get you! She was so nice to me that I gave her everything! Free of charge!” I then would have laughed and wished my friend to have a good then I would have turned to the entitled Karen and say “You have a good day too.” Then I would have walked away into my house. Of course I would have shut the garage door the second the entitled Karen showed back up.
I know a guy who embarrassed his wife saying "she gave me the best blowjob I ever had. Care to match the offer?" Yeah, too monogamous to pull that one off, though I do enjoy the discount.
Let's see the *SIN* counter, so far as I can tell, if she knew it wasn't her cat (having seen and thrown away the collar) and did it anyway: *(1:)* Theft. *(2:)* Covetousness. *(3:)* By breaking the first two (hey, even by breaking _ONE_ of them,) she refuses to let The Abrahamic God to be her god; that is breaking the 1st of the 10 commandments. *(4:)* Giving a false impression of God is in violation of his character and reputation, and it's a violation of the 3rd of the 10 Commandments, "do not take my name in vain." *(5:)* This one's a little bit of a stretch, but it seems to be violating the 2nd commandment, too. She didn't make a statue and worship it like Ancient Egypt, but by stealing and coveting and refusing to let God be her god AND misrepresenting him, it's as though she's worshiping an image of something else entirely. Oh, and Jesus said "Avoid ALL KINDS OF GREED," so she's breaking that, too. Besides... "Hell" is "Outer Darkness." Like being shut out of a gloriously happy city that can't be broken into, to ever be devoured by the rapists and drunk murderers and whatnot, because of a refusal to join the city. All sins against people will be forgiven... But the sin of going against the spirit of God (if I've understood Jesus' word right) will not be forgiven; neither now, or in the future. Though mind, a truly repentant* person who asks for forgiveness, the same will be forgiven. But don't refuse the spirit... * That is, changing direction, turning yourself around in life, and it can be explained in other ways
@@sky22fairy7 exactly why I'm atheist. Too much crap through history where religion has been at the forefront or just people bickering about whose side god is on.
Kinda why my Siamese cat is indoors only. Siamese generally aren't outdoor cats and also targeted by that kind of theft. If someone took her from me, I would go full John Wick to get her back. Kidding... I wouldn't go that far. But I would get her back.
Siamese cats are a high ticket item for thieves, so please if you haven't done it already get that fluff ball chipped. At my animal clinic the first thing we do with new clients is to scan for a chip. There have been a few times that the name did not match up with the person bringing in their pet. We always call the person whos name is registered with the chip to ask if they are missing a pet. A couple of times the person on the phone said, "You found my cat/dog? I'll be there real soon don't let anyone walk off with them!". We would then call our local P.D. for a civil stand by because it might get messy. I cannot stress this enough please get your fur babies chipped!
One NuclearRevenge story involves a Siamese Cat named Lucifer. That story shows how dangerously violent they can get when put in danger from something like bleach.
My mom is the neighborhood crazy cat lady. She has a feral colony in her back yard and takes them to a rescue to get fixed. The tame ones get adopted and wild ones get returned to the colony. One day she caught an intact Siamese and gave him to the rescue. He was very friendly and placed in quarantine for adoption. A few days later there were signs in the neighborhood for the missing cat. Mom called the rescue and gave them the owner's number. Turns out the owner was intending to breed the cat but didn't think anything of letting him wander the neighborhood with a feral cat colony that had an outbreak of feline leukemia the year before this happened.
Wild as the 1st story was, it's nice to hear that the bride had the class to apologize to the store's staff even though her only "fault" was in having a self-centered mother.
The second hand store story literally happened to me. When my dad died (he collected a lot of antiques-car, bar set, China cabinet, huge Victorian bird cage, etc) guy was MASSIVELY trying to scam me cause he wanted my dads stuff. And we needed gas money so my mom and step-dad (were from California, my dad lived in missouri) so they could get back. For example a huge deer head he would only offer like 15 bucks, or a set of crystalistic handles...I said 10 bucks for the set (thats cheap) jerk only offers 2 bucks TWO. Ended up only selling a couple small things and a vintage wood burning stove. But he only got like three things. He wanted MOST of my dads stuff but I refused cause he was obviously trying to screw me over. Cause there are times when u can't tell the antique prices so you don't know if you're getting screwed over...but he was so awful it was obvious
I used to be in the Electronics Asset Recovery business. He would get truckloads of used industrial electronics to process. The owner of a local surplus store had been scamming my boss for years. He pulled enough stuff off our shelves to fill a long wheelbase van and a 20 foot trailer, then he only offered $75. I told him that it was $1500, or no deal. He left. My boss was pissed, until I explained what he was doing. He had picked up a power contactor and told my boss, "I'll give you 25 cents, each. It was worth over $300 new, and had come out of an almost new mainframe computer. We had 24 of them. He told my boss, "I can't get $5.00 for these." I laughed annd said, "That's why you price them at $75, in your store." I also told my boss that he already had customers looking for these items, and he was out of most of them. To make a long story short, he was back two days later with the $1500, then he bought another $500 of our inventory, because he had learned that we were no open to the public. and he wanted to corner the market on some parts.
My youngest sister for her second wedding had her daughter and step-daughter as co-flower girls. They were both completely adorable and a cuteness overload.

About 25 years ago my husband and I with our daughter lived in a house that we were renting. The landlord decided to put new carpet in which was wonderful and we had to move all of our furniture out on to our yard in order for them to carpet the whole house. It just so happened that the only time that these Carpeters could do the job was on a Saturday and a Sunday. Let me tell you what, when people drove by our corner lot and saw all this furniture and my house plants and everything else out on the yard they all wanted to stop and see how much everything was. On top of this we had an 18-ft by 8 ft Jon boat parked out in the front yard. When I tried to explain to people that this was not a yard sale that we were having carpet put in I can't believe how many of them got upset because we were doing it on a Saturday, which any idiot should know is yard sale day! And I had two old boys that literally had a Karen fit because the boat wasn't for sale. For God's sake nothing was for sale, quit asking me how much my plants are! I even had a sign out in the yard telling people it wasn't a yard sale and they were still stopping because it was Saturday by God. Crazy.
I believe it is Montréal that fixed this problem by stating "yard sales" can only be done on one specific weekend of the year. That said, I would be upset too but at your landlord. If he is going to put your stuff out like that for two days, at least he could rent a tent to cover it in case it rains.
Cat story 1 - If you wanted a cat so bad, why didn't you just buy one?" Cat story 2 - OP taking the cat so they can nurse it back to health and let it have kittens is better than the first story, and better than doing nothing.
Yup, the only valid excuse for stealing a pet: the owner is neglectful and/or abusive and you take the pet to actually take care of them, nursing them back to health and showering it with love and affection.
@@gabrielabatista6016 that's an oximoron. You can't steal what has been neglected. That said, nursing them back to health just to kick them out is just as bad imo.
@@Maninawig yeah, I was more talking like, taking the cat in forever, really. And technically some people would consider it stealing, I'm not sure about laws, cause here in Brazil no one gives a fuck about half of the common everyday situation laws, so Idk if there's one, and I know even less about other countries.
@@gabrielabatista6016 taking it in forever is good. Most places have abandonment laws and cats are known as property that fall under those laws, so no worries there.
@@Maninawig Not in the United States anymore. The PACT law. Abandonment of a cat can result in fines, and or prison term and a felony on a person's record.
I've had a guy with some kids asking if we knew who owned the cat (our cat) who was coming by near theirs, and I was ready to throw hands if I even got the snifter of a hint that they were going to steal my baby. Unless the cat is being neglected, or any pet, leave them with their family, they aren't toys or accessories.
I had a super mellow cat and my neighbor had a cookout that he attended (he was really social, everyone on my block ended up knowing him, I got multiple condolence cards when he passed away) and one of the neighbors guests offered $200 to take him! I just said I've spent over twice that just to have him because he was FIV positive and I had to vaccinate my other 4 cats. Which was actually stupid because he was totally not agressive. Sweetest cat I ever met, and I still miss him.
Parents and adults in general, demanding performance out of children out of the spot, and the kid clams up. It's very common. And the more forceful someone is, the harder it is for the child to actual say anything. This happened to me sometimes where I would be asked to do something, or a conversation was turned to something and I would clam up. Like being asked on the spot a random question, which btw it's been proven that if you do this, often times the person being asked a question will suddenly forget any right answer. Look at "name a woman" meme. This was used when i was trying to argue or debate things, and undermine my entire effort in arguing because I couldn't answer the random question, therefore the person asking said question was in the right. So often times I just clammed up. It's taken years to deprogram my brain to not clam up when I'm stressed, and it still happens sometimes. Like one time when I was a kid, I was talking about Digimon, and then the conversation was made about Jesus (because it was a very religious neighbor we were having pizza with) and I just stopped talking immediately, because she had phrased it to make me feel shame about talking about something I liked. She didn't like what I was talking about, and instead of asking me to talk about something else, she just made me stop talking all together because her religion was more important than my interests. This behavior puts unnecessary stress on children.
On the fourth story. This mother is not a “Karen.” She’s the perfect example of a”Tiger Mom.” I taught in China for seven years. One thing I learned was that Chinese parents, especially Tiger Moms, expect and demand absolute perfection from their children from day one. Anything less is considered total failure. Also, the concept of “Face” and not losing it in front of others also important to Chinese adults. To lose Face in front of your peers is bad enough, but to lose it in front of those you consider beneath you is total humiliation, which is usually covered up by showing anger at “the cause,” (I.e. Daniel). I hope his father gets sick enough at her actions to finally step up, tell the mom to shut up and quit acting like she’s still in China
Not to excuse her behavior, but if the story is based in China, then I can understand her actions. It's incredibly difficult to secure a job in China right now, let alone have a child enter a good school that would even give the inkling of a chance to get a job in the first place. That's why parents sink so much time and money into their child's education. They have no childhood to ensure that they can do well in life in the future. This is definitely more nuanced than what a TH-cam comment can relay, but suffice to say, there is incredible amount of stress and pressure placed on both parent and child at a very early age.
So, people in China would rather look like absolute monsters than have their child grow up to be less than perfect? I'm not judging one country, but that kind of treatment should never be acceptable no matter where you're from.
@@fanfictiondreamer7836 I was born and raised in the US. However my parents are Chinese immigrants and a lot of kids I hung out had parents very like this mom. We had the same teacher for Chinese, music and art lessons. My parents were quite lax but some did everything they could to prove their child was better than yours. Even their children thought they were overstepping their bounds. Disgusting but it happened.

@@CarlosThadeu they also performed the sin of covertness, hubris (speaking as if they are allowed to speak on God's behalf in this case)) and decite. so it ain't just the core commandments they broke but one of the unforgivables ie the hubris.
@@CarlosThadeu actually I just used autocorrect lol. It is a very complicated spelling, so I can see how it might be hard to write. That said, commandments and rules are interchangable words, so all's good.
@@catherineholt1149 while we, as meer mortals, are given the right to point out commandments and quotes that might contradict someone's statement, and might hypothetically speculate on additional sins, we cannot take the hubris (to borrow your term) in assuming the guilt of someone's intentions. Yes, she might have coveted the neighbour's cat and commited the sins of pride and greed, and a slew of others, but going on the info we know, OP said the kid found the cat and wanted it, (not clear if she knew it was claimed) while the mother (knowing it was) stole it to give to her daughter (meaning she did not covet it directly) which is why I chose not to mention these points. (I am trying to be a good christian). That said, if we would like to speculate, one might point out that Jesus has stated "let he who takes your eyes away from God have a millstone tied to their neck and thrown out to sea" which might connect with the mother falsifying the police report, though I would have to study my theology a little more for that one. ;)
She broke more than "Thou shalt not steal," if she knew the cat wasn't theirs to keep and threw away the collar. If so, let's see the sin counter, supposing that _is_ what happened, just hypothetically. In such a case, it would be this: 1: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." - Broken because she stole, and denied The Abrahamic God to be her god. 2: "Thou shalt not make any graven images." - This one's a bit of a stretch, but it's arguable that she worshiped a false image in her own heart, by stealing. 3: "Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain." - Names meant a lot more in Ancient Israel than you might realize. In short, since she lied about what God would do _over a cat, she's giving him a bad reputation that is not what he does, and which is not in his name. Because of that, she's breaking Commandment 3. I forgot which of the commandments is "Thou shalt not steal," but it's already mentioned. She also broke "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," because of putting false words in God's mouth just to get her own pathetic little way that costs far more than it's ever worth. Finally, she broke "Thou shalt not covet anything that is your neighbor's." In other words, she craved the idea of letting her child keep the cat that was not their own. That's it for the Ten Commandments. How many did she break over this? *6 out of 10!* Additionally, her demeanor was greedy, so she broke Jesus' command "Avoid all kinds of greed." As an addendum, I've heard it argued that "The 10 Commandments" are not like military-style commandments; they're more about "10 ways that will treat you exceptionally well, *IF KEPT."* How many people get in trouble for stealing something they longed after that was not for sale? However many, it's off the charts. How many get in trouble specifically for NOT longing for something that isn't theirs? I have yet to see one, but I'm sure manipulative fools will try to turn the tables around. *"Try"* being the key word.
When DarkFluff was crying at the end I just wanted to give them a great big hug, and say, "Its ok go and have a great big cry you are amongst friends here.".
The story about the wedding dress reminded me of an item I saw in Reader’s Digest many years ago. A young lady whos’ parents had recently gone through a bitter divorce, was getting married. Her father was bringing his younger girlfriend because she insisted on attending the wedding. The mother offered to stay home rather than chance causing her daughter’s special day to be ruined by any possible confrontation by her ex and his girlfriend. The daughter told her that she didn’t want to get married without her being there. So, her mother spent several weeks looking for the perfect dress to wear to her daughter’s wedding; when she found it, she had it altered for a perfect fit. She later found out that her ex-husband’s girl fried had bought the exact dress. The daughter asked the girl friend if she could pick another dress because her mother had already had her dress altered and couldn’t return it. The girl friend refused to cooperate. The mother told her daughter not to worry. The mother then spent more time looking for another dress. Although not as good as the 1st dress, she found one she liked. She called her daughter and told her that she’d found a dress for the wedding. The daughter felt bad that because of her father and his unreasonable girlfriend, she was out a lot of money for a dress she couldn’t wear. The mother told her daughter not to worry because she did have a place to wear it. When the daughter asked where, the mother replied, “The rehearsal dinner.”

That teacher one is extremely worrisome. I have 2 children. They were never in the same group for development and THAT IS OKAY. My 6 year old was reading Dr. Suess at age 3, where as my daughter struggles with sounds for each letter at 3. I teach him comprehension and her sounds. They learn at their own pace and I can't expect to force them to do something. Reinforcement is key. That teacher knew the boy loved his car and used it to teach him. Child need learning to be partially fun or they WILL clam up.
At age 8 i learned 3 languages completely by myself (Dutch, native language, then English and then German and French) I learned it from other kids during my ski vacations. I was also a born ski master XD I always won gold medal in 1st place (altough it's been like 12 years now so i wonder if i still got that talent).
I feel so bad for poor Daniel. I see myself in him because that’s how the person who was supposed to be my mother was like and it really fucked me up for life. Honestly I hope his dad can get a divorce and take full custody because I know that woman will mentally scar that poor boy die life if she doesn’t get her act together. I unfortunately wasn’t lucky enough to get any kind of proper parental figure or love and that really messes you up so I hope his father is a good man who can protect D from that toxic mindset. To this day I still struggle deeply with feeling worthless and that if I’m not perfect I’m less than nothing
While I can't speak to cultural specifics, it's important to recognize that part of the problem is due to the scarcity of education relative to the size of the population. UNESCO defines tertiary education as anything after the high-school level, whether it's university, college, trade school, vocational training, special certifications, etc. By that standard, the US is currently fifth in the world at 46.36%. China isn't the the top 40. With that in mind the extreme parenting makes a bit more sense. Kids NEED to excel at amazing levels in order to compete for the very small number of available positions in high-level education. While I'm not saying the wife's methods are the best way to get Daniel to excel, her motivations are understandable. It's important not to try to judge this family by Western standards.
I can relate to the fourth story. Well, kinda. My mom is a gifted math teacher and during a parent-teacher meeting for my mom to meet her new bunch of students, one mother of a student disliked the title of "The Phantom Tollbooth." Not only that, but the mother somehow (no one knows how tho) found out that her daughter's school ID number had 666 in it, and was so scared that her daughter will be sinned or whatever because of it before demanding the school to change the number. I mean, JEEZ!!
Teachers here in the U.S. are mandated reporters. If I were that teacher, I would pull the father to the side and warn him of that and, if I saw anything that might be construed as abuse/neglect, including emotional or mental, I would be required by law to call C.P.S. (Inferring but, not actually saying, to keep a watch on his wife.)
Unfortunately my crazy cat lady neighbor got away with stealing my daughter's cat and she gave him away when we asked for him back. Despite him being chipped police couldn't do anything. We literally can't do anything about it until we see him roaming around again or someone takes him to the vet when his chip gets scanned. It's been over a year now and w just got a new kitten today 😊 nothing will replace Emmett, but she definitely made another spot in our hearts 💕
@@greenman12342 yes and no. He was given access to the outdoors but he spent most of the day and every night in the house. He ALWAYS came back, even when we went camping. Plus she made some very telling comments when we questioned her. Also all the neighbors laughed about her stealing their cats, like it was a funny neighborhood joke (a bunch of low life people that couldn't be bothered to fix their cats and ended up with too many kittens that would just become strays eventually 😡). That cat was loved and cared for, and it was terribly cruel to tell an 8 year old to get over it and it's probably for the best when she LOVED him and slept with him every night. Weeks of crying at bed time every night, stalking the neighborhood and calling every shelter and vet. It's now been a year and a half and we finally felt ok getting a new kitty and she's proving to be just as sweet and wonderful as he was (His name was Emmett, the new kitty is Emma ☺️) if we ever get the call that he was found though, we'd bring him home in a heart beat.
The cat one was crazy. I've known a few people who have "found" a cat, but nothing like that. The cats they "found" were left outside. And while they were fed, they were given no vet care, no loving, nothing. I don't even know how many cats were there. It was close, but not quite a hoarder situation. And of course the owner didn't want to get rid of any of the cats. I know of at least 2 that just "disappeared". This person still has several cats. Most of them are close to being wild. But there's one that would be better off in someone's house.
That teacher is a dream! The mother sounds a LOT like my parents growing up and we parted ways when I was 15. I made it through on my own and my wife & I put each other through higher education. Because of this, for years I do tutorials for college online and I occasionally run across one of these types of parents of young ADULTS who want to go off on me for whatever reason other than their precious young one is unable to keep up. It's to my own personal satisfaction that I get to tell the parents exactly what the problem is and that they are the ones exacerbating it. As the almighty and wise Walter puppet says, "Dumbass!"
That wasn't a steal on that quick retell, that was a rescue if that cat was being neglected. Also, if someone said God blessed a bond in which a pet was stolen, keep your distance when that lightening strikes.
Our family pit got out one, Fourth of July. We were devastated until the people, who found him. Literally walked him in front of the house. They were surprised, when we started shouting his real name and he ran to us. The entitled dad tried to guilt us into letting them keep him. Until we meantioned he is chipped and registered undered us. 🤦🏻♀️
*Try* to make your cats be "indoor cats". I feed the outside cats, whenever any new ones come around, and they disappear without a trace within months. Sometimes they're found, smooshed by cars here, maybe eaten by canids/raptors elsewhere, maybe even poisoned/shot by human-garbage. Both of my now-indoor cats were those I "rescued" off the streets, one who was literally starving to death because he couldn't eat (800bux at the vet to fix) and another who got into Yet Another Cat-Fight (another 700bux+ at the vet to fix). Neither one is ever going outside again, and they're mostly cool with it. Anyone tried catnapping one of mine, I *would* go all John Wick on 'em.
The garage sale.... I once had a yard sale where I was selling kids clothes in great shape, for cheap. A woman picked up several nice outfits for her granddaughters who were visiting for the summer. It all came to $8… blouses, jeans, shorts, jackets... She was aghast. She says, it should be $2. The last yard sale I went to it was a dollar a bag! She had driven up in a beautiful car. I figured if I was going to give them to someone who needed them but really couldn't afford clothes for their kids. So I donated them to a shelter.
I had neighbor complaining about cats doing their thing at their house because I'm feeding them. Problem is, those cats are theirs, and they didn't even bother to feed them.
Story #2 reminded me of the six-fingered man in The Princess Bride, minus the killing part of course. Trying to demand items they want at a small fraction of the price.
For the fourth one, if Daniel’s having trouble holding a crayon, he could have dyspraxia! As a dyspraxic myself, I had trouble with things like that as a kid too. People say I still don’t hold a knife the right way when eating, though honestly I don’t see the difference. Just a heads up, don’t get him diagnosed as slow or anything when it could just be dyspraxia.
i love how he keeps calm and reads on. i listen to his stories when i do shopping trips every month since i have anxiety. these stories keep me distracted and his voice is just calming
That end comment about stealing the cat was not actually stealing, but rescuing. In terrible conditions, constantly pregnant, sick, oh poor kitty! God bless that person, that’s the kind of people God loves to see.
The comment of the person who stole a cat “and got away with it” - that’s not how I would have worded that - it’s a very different situation. The cat in the OP’s story was loved and well-cared for (even though I don’t think outdoor cats should be a thing.) The cat “stolen” by the person in the comments to the original story was neglected horribly, even abused. And that person didn’t even steal it, she informed them she was taking the cat, and they were fine with it, because they didn’t care.
The cat story reminded me of the other reditted story about op's doggo got stolen n it's collar was switched with a different on by a cra cra Karen who stole the dog from some else
When as a parent you get uninvited from your kid's wedding and get a restraining order as compensation, I'd say that's a very clear "get out of my life" message.
That cat story makes me regret not doing that once. My downstairs neighbor at my first appartment was a very dirty crazy cat lady kind of old woman. She kept windows and blinders shut throughout the summer heat, and whenever she opened a crack in the window, all cats just threw themselves there for fresh air, and I could smell the stench from yards away. One time during fall, I come to leave, only to see one of her cats, the cutest little fur ball, looked like a 4 month old kitten, just shivering on her porch. At first I didn't realize ir was her cat, and I started knocking on various doors to see if it was theirs, and kept cat lady for last. In hindsight, I should have just kept the poor critter. The lady ended up being evicted from her appartment, and on the day she left, her appartment was empty, but the door was unlocked. My GF and I were curious to see in what state she left the appartment. Just opening the door my GF gagged because of the stench. It was SO dirty. There were spots on the ground just full of cat hair stuck to the ground, the bathtub and bathroom sink were blackened with crass, it was something. Cats probably pissing and pooing anywhere they could, it was disgusting. I thought back on that little furball and even years later I still regret not sneaking it into my appartment.
To that comenter thst took that Pregnant Cat That Had Her barbies in this person place and i will say my hat go off to you you saved the cat you didn't steal the cat you saved the cat's life and the babies
This story reminded me of the novel 101 Dalmatians - in the book, Cruella had a Persian who she let out to breed and then she’d drown the kittens if they weren’t worth enough.
Honestly, the person who "stole" the mother cat didn't steal her. They went and told the former owner they were taking the cat and the former owner said fine. That was an exchange of ownership, not a theft because the original owner clearly didn't give a shit about the cat and consented to the cat being taken.
This has becoming one of my favorite channels! Most vids these days get bookmarked for later, but when I see a DarkFluff vid up, I tend to watch it on the spot! My poor, hungry husband gets "I'll start dinner in a few minutes Sweetie, a DarkFluff video just uploaded!" (FTR: Yes, I am the cook in the household, based on ability and preference, not gender.)
That cat one if that really happened in nz I can guarantee you the cops wouldn't have done anything even if contacted. I've had death threats left on my phone and reported it and the cops did nothing even when the guy showed up at my work afew days later
The garage sale story sounds a lot like the Haitians in South Florida. They come at the end of the yard sale and try to buy every freaking thing you have available for five dollars. They want you to give them suitcases to pack everything in as well. It’s freaking ridiculous.
On story 4, if I were OP, I'd give the husband a business card and say that, when he's ready to divorce, to call me and I'll be a witness that the mother is mistreating the child to help him get full custody. While the mother is standing there.
Story 1: If I had to guess, the mom probably went to the wedding even if the daughter uninvited her because "I'm your mother, you _can't_ uninvite me!!"
My husband and FIL owned a shop and had a shop cat named Charlie. Charlie was a tough indoor/outdoor car who loved sleeping in the sunny storefront window as much as he loved terrorizing raccoons. When he was about 17 yo he started having some sort of problem with his lips and or gums. While we were still trying to get a diagnosis and eliminating foods and even feeding bowls we decided to keep him inside more often. Well, a small nondenominational church opened up nearby and signs were being left on the shop door about us being cruel to Charlie. Now we went over to talk to them but they would hear none of it. A week later, when Charlie was let out dying the day, he never came back. The the church people had the nerve to leave a note saying they took him for his safety. While we were upset, especially my hubby and FIL as they had raised Charlie, we hoped he was given live, attention and proper Healthcare in his last years. 😢
The cat story reminded me of my favorite cat, who was brought in by my other cat...starving. He had a collar on so I shooed him out. MY cat looked at me like: "How could you!" and was mad at me for days. Next time the cat came back, much skinnier, I went around to the neighbors and asked if he belonged to any of them. They all said no. So, cat became MY cat. I took off his old flea collar and put a new one on. Around 6 months after he became mine, I was walking in the parking area with that cat following me. Suddenly he crouched down and GROWLED menancingly. I looked up and saw a sleazy looking guy in an old chenille bathrobe and leather houseslippers walking past my car. He looked at the cat, said "Oh, hello Rusty!" The cat growled even more. I said: "Was that your cat?" He said yes and proceeded to tell me how he had rescued him from a dumpster when he was only as big as his palm...then cut off his balls by stuffing his head into a boot and slicing away, when he got older. I, horrified, said "He's MY cat now...and if you come anywhere near him, I'll do the same to YOU!" He walked away peacefully, saying he was glad my cat found a good home. I growled at him just like the cat did. That cat lived to be around 20 years old and was such a lovely cat...a sentient being who certainly deserved a better life than he had with that sleazy idiot. He suffered for years with the aftermath of a broken shoulder and hip, which the guy had done nothing to fix. I tried and the vet said it was so old of an injury that it was better to leave it as it was. I gave him the best life I could and he forever holds a special place in my heart.
Sad part is if someone stole my cat they'd probably get her put down due to her age(23) and figured out she has health issues (arthritis, IBS, early kidney disease and hypothyroidism). Plus she has an attitude if you accidentally hurt her due to being old.
I can't believe that teacher saying that teaching penmanship was not her job! Back in my day, teachers did show you how to hold a pen (or crayon in this case) and how to form the letters, both print and cursive. Of course, back in my day, mothers were very involved in their kids education and helped with homework. Is the mother's reaction a typical Chinese thing?
When I was in school they didn't really teach it either; I only was taught when I had to go into therapy for my lisp issue, which I still have today. They stopped after a day.
@@BrokensoulRider that really just floors me as much as when I found out they didn't teach cursive in schools anymore! I mean, even in the digital age, aren't there still times when people need to know how to write in cursive?
I worked for a catering company, as a baker, and a co-worker told me about a wedding reception she had once helped set up. It was before the ceremony, and the bride and her MIL to be were there. The MIL was acting hateful to the bride, who was just doing her best to back off and not get in a fight. Finally the MIL got so mad she walked over to the cake and slugged it, damaging it badly. They had to hold the baker away from the MIL and when her husband was summoned the first words from him were "What did she do now?" The awful woman was allowed at the ceremoney, but not the reception.
Something similar happened near my place with the "teaching child" story. There is a mother who demands so much from her daughter, teaching the kid all the stuff she can, and demanding more and more as the child learn more thing. The child is just 3yo and a smart kid, a sad thing, maybe because her little mind couldn't handle all the pressure her mother gives her, she become, well "crazy"? (sorry didn't know the word for it). She end up unable to learn new things anymore and just repeating the word and stuff she learned, she become unfocused? Unresponsive? That she can't pay attention and can't communicate with people. Now her mother regrets it but the damage is already done and I don't know if she can heal from it and grow up normally
I was a language teacher, I had a couple of three year olds who were a joy to teach. I encouraged one parent to come to class to re-enforce what was being taught in the weekly hour. Children are very sensitive and they feel demand energy. Obviously this woman was raised in an environment that demanded perfection, and so she continues the tradition of punishing anything that is not perfect. It’s really heart wrenching when you see a child being treated like that.
I watch this say yes to the dress where the family of the bride comfort the sister who is not getting married. Even went as far as helping the sister pick out a wedding dress
We took our neighbors cat, they were going on vacation and asked us to watch their kitten. This poor thing was so skinny and had no teeth and all they were feeding was adult hard food. We nursed her to health and when the others came back we just never gave her back. She was 17 when she passed, the sweetest most loveable snuggle bug she was.
Story 1: Three things that I've heard that bring out the *worst* in people, funerals, births, and weddings. This is a case in point. And the story about poor Daniel's tiger mom Daniel... wow. She needs to throw a couple of White Claws back and relax. Her son is hella going to resent her in a few short years, and she so does not realize it.
Story 2. When my son was born I was able to get a crib from a friend's parent who watched his baby. When my son was big enough to no longer need the crib I called them to see if they wanted the crib back for their daughter having her child. That crib was definitely put to use for at least 3 different kids over 10 years or so. Lol
When I was around 5 or 6 my Mom stole a cat from a neighbor in our cul-de-sac because this woman would let her children abuse the cat they would put him in a laundry basket and throw it down the stairs and all sorts of things, so my mom took pictures then asked to borrow the cat to take car of some mice. A week later the woman came around asking for the car back and my mom said no, and I have pictures of you and your children abusing him. He still lives with my mom and he is an amazing cat we named him Snickers.
I would have loved to been able to see that MOB's reaction when her own daughter disinvited her to the wedding and then placed a restraining order on her. I wonder if that daughter has an account on Reddit and actually posted a story of her mother on r/raisedbynarcissist.
I facilitated a cat napping once. I was in an apartment building with 4 units. One unit was a family with a couple of older teens who acquired a dog and 2 kittens that they left outdoors a lot. One kitten was really tiny and looked emaciated so I set out some leftover roast chicken which she scarfed down as well as a bowl of water. I had 2 cats of my own so I set out a bowl of kibble. The teen girl made a comment about the kitten and, when I told her she was underfed and I fed her she started yelling at me saying "how dare you feed my cat". I told her if I ever saw her in that condition again I was going to call the humane society. Fast forward a month or so and I was on a business trip and hired a pet sitter. She called me one day and asked about this kitten that was always by her tires when she was ready to leave and I told her the story. She asked if I minded if she took the kitten. My response was "I'm not there, I know nothing" so she grabbed her and put her in the carrier she always kept in her car. It was 3 weeks before the people realized she was missing and figured a coyote got her. She had fleas and ear mites and was pregnant (at 6 months) so got cleaned up, had 2 healthy babies, and all 3 were desexed and adopted to good homes.
Isn't one of the rules or whatever of the bible to not steal? Who is the one that is going to be burning in hell huh? I love how she brings the bible ''YOU WILL BURN IN HELL, THIS IS GOD'S WISH'' but then proceeds to call the cops cause she wants to have the cat she STOLE back. Makes me wonder if the cops would actually take the cat back for her if there were no microchips.
the main problem theirs scientists who claim microchips are animal abuse and harm the animal and can shorten their life span my famly wont do it thinking this even though i say we should
When my Siamese kitten was stolen from my front porch, we assumed he had wandered off. We did all the usual things without results, but a few weeks later, while driving a couple of blocks from home, I saw my cat. I stopped, and walked around the car to see what was going on. MY cat saw me, ran across the lawn and jumped into my arms. We went home. A few hours later, a woman showed up at my door, bawling, said she had taken the cat from my porch because her kid thought it was pretty. She was baby-bawling - snot and tears flowing into her mouth. I kept my cat.
I love how your cat basically said "Take me home! Right now!!"
That happened to us too. It was 3 YEARS before we saw our cat again. It was in a fenced yard playing with two little girls. We decided to not do/say anything. The cat looked happy and well cared fo and had little kids loving on it.
-Story 1 was crazy....It's not the Mother of the Bride's day, it is her DAUGHTER'S. So glad the Bride-to-be had a restraining order against her
The mother of the bride is a classic narcissist. I'm so glad the bride got a restraining order against her. I hope the bride went no contact after that. If a restraining order isn't a sign to go no contact, I don't know what is.
Did you come across the story where the mother wore a long white dress to the wedding? It was on one of these stories-of-horrible-people sites. That's the one I'll always remember.
@@carmium I think I did once
I guess you could say that she was "The Mother of all Bridezilla's".
@@carmium ah yes, that horrible one
The fact that Daniel responds to the teacher and not his mother speaks volumes. No one can demand love they don't deserve. Not even from their own child. And trying to force it will only drive you further apart. Honestly, I actually hope seeing someone else take two days to succeed at something she failed at for three years completely breaks her.
Sounds like it might be in Singapore
I am not from Asia but where I am from parents DEMAND respect from their kids and I was fine with my mom but my dad was barely home as he constantly worked and the way he demanded I respect him the same as I do my mom who is always there for me when he never once was drove us pretty far apart

It's up to the husband to change things. From his demeanor it's obvious she runs him down like a truck. If he has any love for his boy he should get them both away from this woman unless it's a financial thing which is really difficult to extract yourself from.
Yes
The cat story is a reminder for all pet owners. Get your pets microchipped. It provides an external means identification when the question of ownership comes up. It allows your pet to say "Hi my name is Maximilian. My owner is John Doe. He can be reached at XXX. Even without a collar.
That and never letting your cats outside. Its not only bad for the environment, its bad for the cat.
@@SMDoktorPepper Accidental escapes can happen.
@@SMDoktorPepper Wrong. A cat NEEDS outdoor time in order to be healthy and happy.
@@wmdkitty no, they dont. It literally shortens their lives by years, exposing them to predators and disease, all while they slaughter anything they get their claws into. This is just the facts. Worked with enough vets to see the results of "outdoor cats".
@@randycarter2001 true, but a responsible owner can prevent it. The cat here RARELY goes out into a screened in porch he cant get out of.
I'm Chinese and can attest to how strict a lot of asian parents can be and how much they demand of their children. My mum always told me not to compare myself with others and yet would turn around and compare me to others all the time. When I was 5, she complained that my best friend was already washing her hair by herself, but my mum still had to help me with my hair. I don't remember much of my younger days, but when I was still in primary school, she made my sister and I memorise books and write them out word for word (we had to memorise one page at a time). If we got one single word wrong, we had to start over again. We weren't allowed to do anything else until we finished. She also made us memorise the times tables and not allowing us to go to bed until we did. One time my sister got fed up and fell asleep on the sofa. When my mum came down to check on us, she saw my sister sleeping and kicked her awake.
Now that I have a child of my own, she constantly calls me a lazy parent because I didn't have my son potty trained by the time he was 1 year old and because he had developmental delays, including walking and speaking. I'm determined not to be the same kind of parent she was to me.
I'm really sorry that you had to endure that and I love to hear, that you don't push your kid(s) as your parents did with you. Your parents probably never heard about burn out and stress related depression (which is not only happening to adults, but kids can suffer under it too!).
Not beeing potty trained by the age of 1 is not beeing delayed! Where I come from (most) parents are way more layed back. They support their babys/ kids with a rather natural development, so some babys may be potty trained by the age of 1 and others by the age of 2,5 or sth.
I always feel bad for those poor kids who have to be the perfekt little baby clones of their parents and always have to witness, how they are compared to others by their own parents. That's just plain cruel, in my opinion! I feel that this completly destroys a kids selfesteem!
I know that I COULD NOT wash my hair by myself when I was 5! So don't feel bad! 😉
Your kids are definetly WAY BETTER off with you as a parent! Because pushing your child to always be the best as a condition for love is just wrong. The way you handle it sounds more loving and caring!
@@j.d.l._666i work with kids. Some have issues not asking us to use the bathroom. But i find turning it into a game is helpful. Ie. For boys use fruitloops as targets so they can work on aim and motor skills. You can tell them their space ships to blast down for example.
Back when I was engaged to my ex over a decade ago, she demanded a cat..not from the pound, but bought for a ridiculous amount of cash from a pet shop as a kitten. I did it against my better judgement, just to make her happy. A week later, a note appears on my door. Someone demanding I give them "their" cat back..this kitten was freshly weaned and was bought an hour away from my neighborhood. There were several of these notes left over a month, claiming it was a "voodoo cat" and they would curse the house while getting their cat back. It was ridiculous, especially as none of these notes ever left any contact information, but threatened to break into my house to get
"Their" cat back. Sadly, the fiance became the ex, she left the cat, and moved out of state. Every now and then, she will demand her cat back...he doesnt travel well, and ive been taking care of him since day one. In fact, hes still sleeping next to me..hes old now, so no one wants him, so I deal with him.
That cat knows who the true owner is, otherwise he would not be that comfy with you
Thays awful! Poor baby! Its like a baby through thick and thin. You get them, you takenone the RESPONSIBILITY of being that babies forever home. Not "for as long as I feel like it" the babies need. And that person sounds like a scammer. Glad u didn't give in to EITHER of those FUCKING SHIT HEADS
@@melodyv7276, totally agree. My ex made a big deal of making my girl his "lap cat" but once she would sit in his lap it was over. He never took care of her otherwise and she was done with him after that. He totally didn't understand, lol.
Fun fact. If you move a cat that far away, it will still try to return home.
Try, at least.
"...,so I deal with him." That means you love him, but THAT means HE got YOU! They ARE social creatures, LOL!
Garage sale story:
"Yeah, I gave my friend a Being-Respectful-Towards-Me discount. And gosh, turns out it was 100% of the asking price for the items."
LOL, yep. I would have said something similar. I would have said “Yeah it’s amazing what being a decent human being can get you! She was so nice to me that I gave her everything! Free of charge!” I then would have laughed and wished my friend to have a good then I would have turned to the entitled Karen and say “You have a good day too.” Then I would have walked away into my house. Of course I would have shut the garage door the second the entitled Karen showed back up.
I know a guy who embarrassed his wife saying "she gave me the best blowjob I ever had. Care to match the offer?"
Yeah, too monogamous to pull that one off, though I do enjoy the discount.
Karen: If you take your cat back, you'll go to hell.
Me. Pretty sure there's a special spot for thieves.
Let's see the *SIN* counter, so far as I can tell, if she knew it wasn't her cat (having seen and thrown away the collar) and did it anyway: *(1:)* Theft. *(2:)* Covetousness. *(3:)* By breaking the first two (hey, even by breaking _ONE_ of them,) she refuses to let The Abrahamic God to be her god; that is breaking the 1st of the 10 commandments. *(4:)* Giving a false impression of God is in violation of his character and reputation, and it's a violation of the 3rd of the 10 Commandments, "do not take my name in vain." *(5:)* This one's a little bit of a stretch, but it seems to be violating the 2nd commandment, too. She didn't make a statue and worship it like Ancient Egypt, but by stealing and coveting and refusing to let God be her god AND misrepresenting him, it's as though she's worshiping an image of something else entirely.
Oh, and Jesus said "Avoid ALL KINDS OF GREED," so she's breaking that, too.
Besides... "Hell" is "Outer Darkness." Like being shut out of a gloriously happy city that can't be broken into, to ever be devoured by the rapists and drunk murderers and whatnot, because of a refusal to join the city.
All sins against people will be forgiven... But the sin of going against the spirit of God (if I've understood Jesus' word right) will not be forgiven; neither now, or in the future.
Though mind, a truly repentant* person who asks for forgiveness, the same will be forgiven. But don't refuse the spirit...
* That is, changing direction, turning yourself around in life, and it can be explained in other ways

Kinda why my Siamese cat is indoors only. Siamese generally aren't outdoor cats and also targeted by that kind of theft.
If someone took her from me, I would go full John Wick to get her back. Kidding... I wouldn't go that far. But I would get her back.
Siamese cats are a high ticket item for thieves, so please if you haven't done it already get that fluff ball chipped. At my animal clinic the first thing we do with new clients is to scan for a chip. There have been a few times that the name did not match up with the person bringing in their pet. We always call the person whos name is registered with the chip to ask if they are missing a pet. A couple of times the person on the phone said, "You found my cat/dog? I'll be there real soon don't let anyone walk off with them!". We would then call our local P.D. for a civil stand by because it might get messy. I cannot stress this enough please get your fur babies chipped!
i've a aussie/german shepherd and i would 100% go Wick about it. no qualms with bettering society.
One NuclearRevenge story involves a Siamese Cat named Lucifer. That story shows how dangerously violent they can get when put in danger from something like bleach.
My mom is the neighborhood crazy cat lady. She has a feral colony in her back yard and takes them to a rescue to get fixed. The tame ones get adopted and wild ones get returned to the colony. One day she caught an intact Siamese and gave him to the rescue. He was very friendly and placed in quarantine for adoption. A few days later there were signs in the neighborhood for the missing cat. Mom called the rescue and gave them the owner's number. Turns out the owner was intending to breed the cat but didn't think anything of letting him wander the neighborhood with a feral cat colony that had an outbreak of feline leukemia the year before this happened.
If someone took my cat a homi will happen to the karen
Wild as the 1st story was, it's nice to hear that the bride had the class to apologize to the store's staff even though her only "fault" was in having a self-centered mother.
The second hand store story literally happened to me. When my dad died (he collected a lot of antiques-car, bar set, China cabinet, huge Victorian bird cage, etc) guy was MASSIVELY trying to scam me cause he wanted my dads stuff. And we needed gas money so my mom and step-dad (were from California, my dad lived in missouri) so they could get back. For example a huge deer head he would only offer like 15 bucks, or a set of crystalistic handles...I said 10 bucks for the set (thats cheap) jerk only offers 2 bucks TWO. Ended up only selling a couple small things and a vintage wood burning stove. But he only got like three things. He wanted MOST of my dads stuff but I refused cause he was obviously trying to screw me over. Cause there are times when u can't tell the antique prices so you don't know if you're getting screwed over...but he was so awful it was obvious
Sounds like a grade a scamming loser.
I used to be in the Electronics Asset Recovery business. He would get truckloads of used industrial electronics to process. The owner of a local surplus store had been scamming my boss for years. He pulled enough stuff off our shelves to fill a long wheelbase van and a 20 foot trailer, then he only offered $75. I told him that it was $1500, or no deal. He left. My boss was pissed, until I explained what he was doing. He had picked up a power contactor and told my boss, "I'll give you 25 cents, each. It was worth over $300 new, and had come out of an almost new mainframe computer. We had 24 of them. He told my boss, "I can't get $5.00 for these." I laughed annd said, "That's why you price them at $75, in your store." I also told my boss that he already had customers looking for these items, and he was out of most of them.
To make a long story short, he was back two days later with the $1500, then he bought another $500 of our inventory, because he had learned that we were no open to the public. and he wanted to corner the market on some parts.
Sounds horrible, though I dunno what a deer head goes for. Most people I know who have them shot the deer.
Only one person can out dress the bride and that is the flower girl.
They have cute at level 100
Yeah, fair.
That’s fair, lmao.
My youngest sister for her second wedding had her daughter and step-daughter as co-flower girls. They were both completely adorable and a cuteness overload.
My uncle had my sister and his brides little cousin (both 4 yr old girls) as flower girl and ring bearer, they were adorable in their matching dresses and flower crowns.
Damn! Poor Daniel. That is a lot of pressure for a 3 year old. I can see him having a nervous breakdown by the age of 10.

About 25 years ago my husband and I with our daughter lived in a house that we were renting. The landlord decided to put new carpet in which was wonderful and we had to move all of our furniture out on to our yard in order for them to carpet the whole house. It just so happened that the only time that these Carpeters could do the job was on a Saturday and a Sunday. Let me tell you what, when people drove by our corner lot and saw all this furniture and my house plants and everything else out on the yard they all wanted to stop and see how much everything was. On top of this we had an 18-ft by 8 ft Jon boat parked out in the front yard. When I tried to explain to people that this was not a yard sale that we were having carpet put in I can't believe how many of them got upset because we were doing it on a Saturday, which any idiot should know is yard sale day! And I had two old boys that literally had a Karen fit because the boat wasn't for sale. For God's sake nothing was for sale, quit asking me how much my plants are! I even had a sign out in the yard telling people it wasn't a yard sale and they were still stopping because it was Saturday by God. Crazy.
I believe it is Montréal that fixed this problem by stating "yard sales" can only be done on one specific weekend of the year.
That said, I would be upset too but at your landlord. If he is going to put your stuff out like that for two days, at least he could rent a tent to cover it in case it rains.
What do you expect? A 3yo getting YELLED at is of course going to freeze up.
Cat story 1 - If you wanted a cat so bad, why didn't you just buy one?"
Cat story 2 - OP taking the cat so they can nurse it back to health and let it have kittens is better than the first story, and better than doing nothing.
Yup, the only valid excuse for stealing a pet: the owner is neglectful and/or abusive and you take the pet to actually take care of them, nursing them back to health and showering it with love and affection.
@@gabrielabatista6016 that's an oximoron. You can't steal what has been neglected. That said, nursing them back to health just to kick them out is just as bad imo.
@@Maninawig yeah, I was more talking like, taking the cat in forever, really. And technically some people would consider it stealing, I'm not sure about laws, cause here in Brazil no one gives a fuck about half of the common everyday situation laws, so Idk if there's one, and I know even less about other countries.
@@gabrielabatista6016 taking it in forever is good. Most places have abandonment laws and cats are known as property that fall under those laws, so no worries there.
@@Maninawig Not in the United States anymore. The PACT law. Abandonment of a cat can result in fines, and or prison term and a felony on a person's record.
I've had a guy with some kids asking if we knew who owned the cat (our cat) who was coming by near theirs, and I was ready to throw hands if I even got the snifter of a hint that they were going to steal my baby. Unless the cat is being neglected, or any pet, leave them with their family, they aren't toys or accessories.
I had a super mellow cat and my neighbor had a cookout that he attended (he was really social, everyone on my block ended up knowing him, I got multiple condolence cards when he passed away) and one of the neighbors guests offered $200 to take him! I just said I've spent over twice that just to have him because he was FIV positive and I had to vaccinate my other 4 cats. Which was actually stupid because he was totally not agressive. Sweetest cat I ever met, and I still miss him.
Define neglect.
My neighbours leave their cats out all day with food, water, and a poop box, but I still picked up 50lbs of cat poop in my garden.

Parents and adults in general, demanding performance out of children out of the spot, and the kid clams up. It's very common. And the more forceful someone is, the harder it is for the child to actual say anything. This happened to me sometimes where I would be asked to do something, or a conversation was turned to something and I would clam up. Like being asked on the spot a random question, which btw it's been proven that if you do this, often times the person being asked a question will suddenly forget any right answer. Look at "name a woman" meme. This was used when i was trying to argue or debate things, and undermine my entire effort in arguing because I couldn't answer the random question, therefore the person asking said question was in the right. So often times I just clammed up. It's taken years to deprogram my brain to not clam up when I'm stressed, and it still happens sometimes. Like one time when I was a kid, I was talking about Digimon, and then the conversation was made about Jesus (because it was a very religious neighbor we were having pizza with) and I just stopped talking immediately, because she had phrased it to make me feel shame about talking about something I liked. She didn't like what I was talking about, and instead of asking me to talk about something else, she just made me stop talking all together because her religion was more important than my interests. This behavior puts unnecessary stress on children.
The first story had the best ending I've ever heard. Ending in a restraining order. Damn.
Yup
On the fourth story. This mother is not a “Karen.” She’s the perfect example of a”Tiger Mom.” I taught in China for seven years. One thing I learned was that Chinese parents, especially Tiger Moms, expect and demand absolute perfection from their children from day one. Anything less is considered total failure.
Also, the concept of “Face” and not losing it in front of others also important to Chinese adults. To lose Face in front of your peers is bad enough, but to lose it in front of those you consider beneath you is total humiliation, which is usually covered up by showing anger at “the cause,” (I.e. Daniel).
I hope his father gets sick enough at her actions to finally step up, tell the mom to shut up and quit acting like she’s still in China
Couldn’t have said it any better
Not to excuse her behavior, but if the story is based in China, then I can understand her actions. It's incredibly difficult to secure a job in China right now, let alone have a child enter a good school that would even give the inkling of a chance to get a job in the first place. That's why parents sink so much time and money into their child's education. They have no childhood to ensure that they can do well in life in the future. This is definitely more nuanced than what a TH-cam comment can relay, but suffice to say, there is incredible amount of stress and pressure placed on both parent and child at a very early age.
So, people in China would rather look like absolute monsters than have their child grow up to be less than perfect? I'm not judging one country, but that kind of treatment should never be acceptable no matter where you're from.
@@fanfictiondreamer7836 I was born and raised in the US. However my parents are Chinese immigrants and a lot of kids I hung out had parents very like this mom. We had the same teacher for Chinese, music and art lessons. My parents were quite lax but some did everything they could to prove their child was better than yours. Even their children thought they were overstepping their bounds. Disgusting but it happened.
@@fanfictiondreamer7836 it’s not just chinese but most asians parents in general. They just want us to not struggle in our future because they don’t want us to go through what they are going through, but sometimes, they take it a little bit too far.
For Story 3:
"That which was born from sin only produces sin" and since the Ten Commandments specifically say "thou shall not steal", well, yeah.
oh that's how you spell commandments... I posted in another comment as a ''rule'' not that word... man that is hard to spell for a non native speaker.
@@CarlosThadeu they also performed the sin of covertness, hubris (speaking as if they are allowed to speak on God's behalf in this case)) and decite. so it ain't just the core commandments they broke but one of the unforgivables ie the hubris.
@@CarlosThadeu actually I just used autocorrect lol. It is a very complicated spelling, so I can see how it might be hard to write.
That said, commandments and rules are interchangable words, so all's good.
@@catherineholt1149 while we, as meer mortals, are given the right to point out commandments and quotes that might contradict someone's statement, and might hypothetically speculate on additional sins, we cannot take the hubris (to borrow your term) in assuming the guilt of someone's intentions.
Yes, she might have coveted the neighbour's cat and commited the sins of pride and greed, and a slew of others, but going on the info we know, OP said the kid found the cat and wanted it, (not clear if she knew it was claimed) while the mother (knowing it was) stole it to give to her daughter (meaning she did not covet it directly) which is why I chose not to mention these points. (I am trying to be a good christian).
That said, if we would like to speculate, one might point out that Jesus has stated "let he who takes your eyes away from God have a millstone tied to their neck and thrown out to sea" which might connect with the mother falsifying the police report, though I would have to study my theology a little more for that one. ;)
She broke more than "Thou shalt not steal," if she knew the cat wasn't theirs to keep and threw away the collar. If so, let's see the sin counter, supposing that _is_ what happened, just hypothetically. In such a case, it would be this:
1: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." - Broken because she stole, and denied The Abrahamic God to be her god.
2: "Thou shalt not make any graven images." - This one's a bit of a stretch, but it's arguable that she worshiped a false image in her own heart, by stealing.
3: "Thou shalt not take the name of God in vain." - Names meant a lot more in Ancient Israel than you might realize. In short, since she lied about what God would do _over a cat, she's giving him a bad reputation that is not what he does, and which is not in his name. Because of that, she's breaking Commandment 3.
I forgot which of the commandments is "Thou shalt not steal," but it's already mentioned.
She also broke "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," because of putting false words in God's mouth just to get her own pathetic little way that costs far more than it's ever worth.
Finally, she broke "Thou shalt not covet anything that is your neighbor's." In other words, she craved the idea of letting her child keep the cat that was not their own.
That's it for the Ten Commandments. How many did she break over this? *6 out of 10!* Additionally, her demeanor was greedy, so she broke Jesus' command "Avoid all kinds of greed."
As an addendum, I've heard it argued that "The 10 Commandments" are not like military-style commandments; they're more about "10 ways that will treat you exceptionally well, *IF KEPT."* How many people get in trouble for stealing something they longed after that was not for sale? However many, it's off the charts. How many get in trouble specifically for NOT longing for something that isn't theirs? I have yet to see one, but I'm sure manipulative fools will try to turn the tables around. *"Try"* being the key word.
The mom: You turned her against me!
OP: You have done this to yourself!
When DarkFluff was crying at the end I just wanted to give them a great big hug, and say, "Its ok go and have a great big cry you are amongst friends here.".

The story about the wedding dress reminded me of an item I saw in Reader’s Digest many years ago. A young lady whos’ parents had recently gone through a bitter divorce, was getting married. Her father was bringing his younger girlfriend because she insisted on attending the wedding. The mother offered to stay home rather than chance causing her daughter’s special day to be ruined by any possible confrontation by her ex and his girlfriend. The daughter told her that she didn’t want to get married without her being there. So, her mother spent several weeks looking for the perfect dress to wear to her daughter’s wedding; when she found it, she had it altered for a perfect fit. She later found out that her ex-husband’s girl fried had bought the exact dress. The daughter asked the girl friend if she could pick another dress because her mother had already had her dress altered and couldn’t return it. The girl friend refused to cooperate. The mother told her daughter not to worry. The mother then spent more time looking for another dress. Although not as good as the 1st dress, she found one she liked. She called her daughter and told her that she’d found a dress for the wedding. The daughter felt bad that because of her father and his unreasonable girlfriend, she was out a lot of money for a dress she couldn’t wear. The mother told her daughter not to worry because she did have a place to wear it. When the daughter asked where, the mother replied, “The rehearsal dinner.”
Story 2 trade offer: OP giving their old baby things to their friend and OP received free meal for a while.
Me: sounds like a fair trade to me.

I guess there's such a thing as a MOB-zilla. If not let's invent it.

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan Wrong definition of mob. In this context, MOB is not an actual crowd of angry people... it stands for mother-of-bride.

Oh, there is indeed! My egg donor was wretched at my oldest sister’s wedding, my sister made zero decisions regarding her own wedding! I was still in high school but went no contact on graduation day. She had her hair and makeup done BEFORE my sister. Made us help her get dressed before my sister! I helped my sister and walked out. Couldn’t take it anymore.nThe marriage ended in divorce and my sister, sadly, killed herself. Just because you can give birth doesn’t mean you should!!
That teacher one is extremely worrisome. I have 2 children. They were never in the same group for development and THAT IS OKAY. My 6 year old was reading Dr. Suess at age 3, where as my daughter struggles with sounds for each letter at 3. I teach him comprehension and her sounds. They learn at their own pace and I can't expect to force them to do something. Reinforcement is key. That teacher knew the boy loved his car and used it to teach him. Child need learning to be partially fun or they WILL clam up.
At age 8 i learned 3 languages completely by myself (Dutch, native language, then English and then German and French) I learned it from other kids during my ski vacations.

I feel so bad for poor Daniel. I see myself in him because that’s how the person who was supposed to be my mother was like and it really fucked me up for life. Honestly I hope his dad can get a divorce and take full custody because I know that woman will mentally scar that poor boy die life if she doesn’t get her act together. I unfortunately wasn’t lucky enough to get any kind of proper parental figure or love and that really messes you up so I hope his father is a good man who can protect D from that toxic mindset. To this day I still struggle deeply with feeling worthless and that if I’m not perfect I’m less than nothing
While I can't speak to cultural specifics, it's important to recognize that part of the problem is due to the scarcity of education relative to the size of the population. UNESCO defines tertiary education as anything after the high-school level, whether it's university, college, trade school, vocational training, special certifications, etc. By that standard, the US is currently fifth in the world at 46.36%. China isn't the the top 40.
With that in mind the extreme parenting makes a bit more sense. Kids NEED to excel at amazing levels in order to compete for the very small number of available positions in high-level education. While I'm not saying the wife's methods are the best way to get Daniel to excel, her motivations are understandable. It's important not to try to judge this family by Western standards.
for the cat story (Story 3).. i bet god is shaking his head super hard now
Yup
Id rather give it away than sell it to you.
I can relate to the fourth story. Well, kinda. My mom is a gifted math teacher and during a parent-teacher meeting for my mom to meet her new bunch of students, one mother of a student disliked the title of "The Phantom Tollbooth." Not only that, but the mother somehow (no one knows how tho) found out that her daughter's school ID number had 666 in it, and was so scared that her daughter will be sinned or whatever because of it before demanding the school to change the number. I mean, JEEZ!!
I'm a Christian, and I even know that sometimes a number is just a number
Omg 😂 those Jesus nuts are something. Mad about the word “Phantom” in a famous book. “666” is just...a number 😂 also, free will.
Teachers here in the U.S. are mandated reporters. If I were that teacher, I would pull the father to the side and warn him of that and, if I saw anything that might be construed as abuse/neglect, including emotional or mental, I would be required by law to call C.P.S. (Inferring but, not actually saying, to keep a watch on his wife.)
Thank you I was thinking the same thing. It’s one thing to be tough and strict their kids it’s another to act this way.
Unfortunately my crazy cat lady neighbor got away with stealing my daughter's cat and she gave him away when we asked for him back. Despite him being chipped police couldn't do anything. We literally can't do anything about it until we see him roaming around again or someone takes him to the vet when his chip gets scanned. It's been over a year now and w just got a new kitten today 😊 nothing will replace Emmett, but she definitely made another spot in our hearts 💕
Was it an outside cat?
@@greenman12342 yes and no. He was given access to the outdoors but he spent most of the day and every night in the house. He ALWAYS came back, even when we went camping. Plus she made some very telling comments when we questioned her. Also all the neighbors laughed about her stealing their cats, like it was a funny neighborhood joke (a bunch of low life people that couldn't be bothered to fix their cats and ended up with too many kittens that would just become strays eventually 😡). That cat was loved and cared for, and it was terribly cruel to tell an 8 year old to get over it and it's probably for the best when she LOVED him and slept with him every night. Weeks of crying at bed time every night, stalking the neighborhood and calling every shelter and vet. It's now been a year and a half and we finally felt ok getting a new kitty and she's proving to be just as sweet and wonderful as he was (His name was Emmett, the new kitty is Emma ☺️) if we ever get the call that he was found though, we'd bring him home in a heart beat.
The cat one was crazy. I've known a few people who have "found" a cat, but nothing like that. The cats they "found" were left outside. And while they were fed, they were given no vet care, no loving, nothing. I don't even know how many cats were there. It was close, but not quite a hoarder situation. And of course the owner didn't want to get rid of any of the cats. I know of at least 2 that just "disappeared".
This person still has several cats. Most of them are close to being wild. But there's one that would be better off in someone's house.
That teacher is a dream! The mother sounds a LOT like my parents growing up and we parted ways when I was 15. I made it through on my own and my wife & I put each other through higher education. Because of this, for years I do tutorials for college online and I occasionally run across one of these types of parents of young ADULTS who want to go off on me for whatever reason other than their precious young one is unable to keep up. It's to my own personal satisfaction that I get to tell the parents exactly what the problem is and that they are the ones exacerbating it. As the almighty and wise Walter puppet says, "Dumbass!"
That wasn't a steal on that quick retell, that was a rescue if that cat was being neglected. Also, if someone said God blessed a bond in which a pet was stolen, keep your distance when that lightening strikes.
Taught him how to speak the 4 letter words that start with B? LOL. You might want to read that again, DarkFluff.
Our family pit got out one, Fourth of July. We were devastated until the people, who found him. Literally walked him in front of the house. They were surprised, when we started shouting his real name and he ran to us. The entitled dad tried to guilt us into letting them keep him. Until we meantioned he is chipped and registered undered us. 🤦🏻♀️
*Try* to make your cats be "indoor cats". I feed the outside cats, whenever any new ones come around, and they disappear without a trace within months. Sometimes they're found, smooshed by cars here, maybe eaten by canids/raptors elsewhere, maybe even poisoned/shot by human-garbage.
Both of my now-indoor cats were those I "rescued" off the streets, one who was literally starving to death because he couldn't eat (800bux at the vet to fix) and another who got into Yet Another Cat-Fight (another 700bux+ at the vet to fix). Neither one is ever going outside again, and they're mostly cool with it.
Anyone tried catnapping one of mine, I *would* go all John Wick on 'em.
I catch feral cats with live animal traps in my backyard, and then drive them over to the humane society. Caught over 100 in these last couple years.
The garage sale.... I once had a yard sale where I was selling kids clothes in great shape, for cheap. A woman picked up several nice outfits for her granddaughters who were visiting for the summer. It all came to $8… blouses, jeans, shorts, jackets... She was aghast. She says, it should be $2. The last yard sale I went to it was a dollar a bag! She had driven up in a beautiful car. I figured if I was going to give them to someone who needed them but really couldn't afford clothes for their kids. So I donated them to a shelter.
All car, no money?
I had neighbor complaining about cats doing their thing at their house because I'm feeding them. Problem is, those cats are theirs, and they didn't even bother to feed them.
Story #2 reminded me of the six-fingered man in The Princess Bride, minus the killing part of course. Trying to demand items they want at a small fraction of the price.
Thou shall NOT steal neighbor's cat, Karen!
Outside cats being brought inside is the moral high road, OP itah
For the fourth one, if Daniel’s having trouble holding a crayon, he could have dyspraxia! As a dyspraxic myself, I had trouble with things like that as a kid too. People say I still don’t hold a knife the right way when eating, though honestly I don’t see the difference. Just a heads up, don’t get him diagnosed as slow or anything when it could just be dyspraxia.
I love DarkFluff’s stories! It’s so relaxing to just sit back and relax to them.

The comment of the person who stole a cat “and got away with it” - that’s not how I would have worded that - it’s a very different situation. The cat in the OP’s story was loved and well-cared for (even though I don’t think outdoor cats should be a thing.) The cat “stolen” by the person in the comments to the original story was neglected horribly, even abused. And that person didn’t even steal it, she informed them she was taking the cat, and they were fine with it, because they didn’t care.
The cat story reminded me of the other reditted story about op's doggo got stolen n it's collar was switched with a different on by a cra cra Karen who stole the dog from some else
When as a parent you get uninvited from your kid's wedding and get a restraining order as compensation, I'd say that's a very clear "get out of my life" message.
I work at a daycare/preschool and that mom's expectations for a 3 year old is bonkers.
The notification didn’t even get to finish crossing the screen lol
That cat story makes me regret not doing that once. My downstairs neighbor at my first appartment was a very dirty crazy cat lady kind of old woman. She kept windows and blinders shut throughout the summer heat, and whenever she opened a crack in the window, all cats just threw themselves there for fresh air, and I could smell the stench from yards away. One time during fall, I come to leave, only to see one of her cats, the cutest little fur ball, looked like a 4 month old kitten, just shivering on her porch. At first I didn't realize ir was her cat, and I started knocking on various doors to see if it was theirs, and kept cat lady for last. In hindsight, I should have just kept the poor critter.
The lady ended up being evicted from her appartment, and on the day she left, her appartment was empty, but the door was unlocked. My GF and I were curious to see in what state she left the appartment. Just opening the door my GF gagged because of the stench. It was SO dirty. There were spots on the ground just full of cat hair stuck to the ground, the bathtub and bathroom sink were blackened with crass, it was something. Cats probably pissing and pooing anywhere they could, it was disgusting. I thought back on that little furball and even years later I still regret not sneaking it into my appartment.
To that comenter thst took that Pregnant Cat That Had Her barbies in this person place and i will say my hat go off to you you saved the cat you didn't steal the cat you saved the cat's life and the babies
This story reminded me of the novel 101 Dalmatians - in the book, Cruella had a Persian who she let out to breed and then she’d drown the kittens if they weren’t worth enough.
Honestly, the person who "stole" the mother cat didn't steal her. They went and told the former owner they were taking the cat and the former owner said fine. That was an exchange of ownership, not a theft because the original owner clearly didn't give a shit about the cat and consented to the cat being taken.
The bride's mother shines by making her daughter look her best.
Sadly, I shook my head so hard, some of my brains fell out. Now I don't remember math. Thanks, Fluff.

"Officer, they stole the cat that we originally stole back! Arrest them!"
That cat one if that really happened in nz I can guarantee you the cops wouldn't have done anything even if contacted. I've had death threats left on my phone and reported it and the cops did nothing even when the guy showed up at my work afew days later
You are (probably) also pretty good looking Fluff!
The garage sale story sounds a lot like the Haitians in South Florida. They come at the end of the yard sale and try to buy every freaking thing you have available for five dollars. They want you to give them suitcases to pack everything in as well. It’s freaking ridiculous.
I still have nightmares of working Haitian club night...wanting top shelf booze for a quarter, reaching behind the bar, etc..
Omg what kind of delusional Karen steals a cat then says her entitled kid had formed a bond blessed by God. SMFH then they call the cops!
On story 4, if I were OP, I'd give the husband a business card and say that, when he's ready to divorce, to call me and I'll be a witness that the mother is mistreating the child to help him get full custody. While the mother is standing there.
Cat story... That is one of MANY reasons the pets in my family are indoor pets.

My husband and FIL owned a shop and had a shop cat named Charlie. Charlie was a tough indoor/outdoor car who loved sleeping in the sunny storefront window as much as he loved terrorizing raccoons. When he was about 17 yo he started having some sort of problem with his lips and or gums. While we were still trying to get a diagnosis and eliminating foods and even feeding bowls we decided to keep him inside more often. Well, a small nondenominational church opened up nearby and signs were being left on the shop door about us being cruel to Charlie. Now we went over to talk to them but they would hear none of it. A week later, when Charlie was let out dying the day, he never came back. The the church people had the nerve to leave a note saying they took him for his safety. While we were upset, especially my hubby and FIL as they had raised Charlie, we hoped he was given live, attention and proper Healthcare in his last years. 😢
You're right, it is much better helping a friend in need than a random stranger in greed
MOB was crazier than a soup sandwich.

Um, I could not stop laughing, how do you handle that. A mother is in need of a rubber room stay. WOW.
The cat story reminded me of my favorite cat, who was brought in by my other cat...starving. He had a collar on so I shooed him out. MY cat looked at me like: "How could you!" and was mad at me for days. Next time the cat came back, much skinnier, I went around to the neighbors and asked if he belonged to any of them. They all said no. So, cat became MY cat. I took off his old flea collar and put a new one on. Around 6 months after he became mine, I was walking in the parking area with that cat following me. Suddenly he crouched down and GROWLED menancingly. I looked up and saw a sleazy looking guy in an old chenille bathrobe and leather houseslippers walking past my car. He looked at the cat, said "Oh, hello Rusty!" The cat growled even more. I said: "Was that your cat?" He said yes and proceeded to tell me how he had rescued him from a dumpster when he was only as big as his palm...then cut off his balls by stuffing his head into a boot and slicing away, when he got older. I, horrified, said "He's MY cat now...and if you come anywhere near him, I'll do the same to YOU!" He walked away peacefully, saying he was glad my cat found a good home. I growled at him just like the cat did. That cat lived to be around 20 years old and was such a lovely cat...a sentient being who certainly deserved a better life than he had with that sleazy idiot. He suffered for years with the aftermath of a broken shoulder and hip, which the guy had done nothing to fix. I tried and the vet said it was so old of an injury that it was better to leave it as it was. I gave him the best life I could and he forever holds a special place in my heart.
The "Thrift Store" Karen brings back memories. In our town we had a thrift store owner that would go around to garage sales and pull the same game.
Sad part is if someone stole my cat they'd probably get her put down due to her age(23) and figured out she has health issues (arthritis, IBS, early kidney disease and hypothyroidism). Plus she has an attitude if you accidentally hurt her due to being old.
Omg story one is beyond crazy! What kind of entitled "Karen" does that crap
They could have taught Daniel another word beginning with the letter C while showing him a photo of his mum!!!
I can't believe that teacher saying that teaching penmanship was not her job! Back in my day, teachers did show you how to hold a pen (or crayon in this case) and how to form the letters, both print and cursive. Of course, back in my day, mothers were very involved in their kids education and helped with homework. Is the mother's reaction a typical Chinese thing?
When I was in school they didn't really teach it either; I only was taught when I had to go into therapy for my lisp issue, which I still have today. They stopped after a day.
@@BrokensoulRider that really just floors me as much as when I found out they didn't teach cursive in schools anymore! I mean, even in the digital age, aren't there still times when people need to know how to write in cursive?
@@mom5catskyle596 Mainly for signatures and to maybe read cursive writing? But I agree it should still be a taught art.
I worked for a catering company, as a baker, and a co-worker told me about a wedding reception she had once helped set up. It was before the ceremony, and the bride and her MIL to be were there. The MIL was acting hateful to the bride, who was just doing her best to back off and not get in a fight. Finally the MIL got so mad she walked over to the cake and slugged it, damaging it badly. They had to hold the baker away from the MIL and when her husband was summoned the first words from him were "What did she do now?" The awful woman was allowed at the ceremoney, but not the reception.
Something similar happened near my place with the "teaching child" story. There is a mother who demands so much from her daughter, teaching the kid all the stuff she can, and demanding more and more as the child learn more thing. The child is just 3yo and a smart kid, a sad thing, maybe because her little mind couldn't handle all the pressure her mother gives her, she become, well "crazy"? (sorry didn't know the word for it). She end up unable to learn new things anymore and just repeating the word and stuff she learned, she become unfocused? Unresponsive? That she can't pay attention and can't communicate with people. Now her mother regrets it but the damage is already done and I don't know if she can heal from it and grow up normally
Beautiful voice.
When you do a Halloween special or when it gets here you should make your character have a pumpkin head
I was a language teacher, I had a couple of three year olds who were a joy to teach. I encouraged one parent to come to class to re-enforce what was being taught in the weekly hour. Children are very sensitive and they feel demand energy. Obviously this woman was raised in an environment that demanded perfection, and so she continues the tradition of punishing anything that is not perfect. It’s really heart wrenching when you see a child being treated like that.
I watch this say yes to the dress where the family of the bride comfort the sister who is not getting married. Even went as far as helping the sister pick out a wedding dress
We took our neighbors cat, they were going on vacation and asked us to watch their kitten. This poor thing was so skinny and had no teeth and all they were feeding was adult hard food. We nursed her to health and when the others came back we just never gave her back. She was 17 when she passed, the sweetest most loveable snuggle bug she was.
Hi fluff!
I like how the hand breaks (as far as I can tell) when facepalming. It adds more emphasis to the action.
Always, always, always hire security at weddings and funerals.~
If I'm ever Best Man, I'll splurge. And have them answer to the groom and bride.
Story 1: Three things that I've heard that bring out the *worst* in people, funerals, births, and weddings. This is a case in point. And the story about poor Daniel's tiger mom Daniel... wow. She needs to throw a couple of White Claws back and relax. Her son is hella going to resent her in a few short years, and she so does not realize it.
Story 2. When my son was born I was able to get a crib from a friend's parent who watched his baby. When my son was big enough to no longer need the crib I called them to see if they wanted the crib back for their daughter having her child. That crib was definitely put to use for at least 3 different kids over 10 years or so. Lol
When I was around 5 or 6 my Mom stole a cat from a neighbor in our cul-de-sac because this woman would let her children abuse the cat they would put him in a laundry basket and throw it down the stairs and all sorts of things, so my mom took pictures then asked to borrow the cat to take car of some mice. A week later the woman came around asking for the car back and my mom said no, and I have pictures of you and your children abusing him. He still lives with my mom and he is an amazing cat we named him Snickers.
I would have loved to been able to see that MOB's reaction when her own daughter disinvited her to the wedding and then placed a restraining order on her. I wonder if that daughter has an account on Reddit and actually posted a story of her mother on r/raisedbynarcissist.
I facilitated a cat napping once. I was in an apartment building with 4 units. One unit was a family with a couple of older teens who acquired a dog and 2 kittens that they left outdoors a lot. One kitten was really tiny and looked emaciated so I set out some leftover roast chicken which she scarfed down as well as a bowl of water. I had 2 cats of my own so I set out a bowl of kibble. The teen girl made a comment about the kitten and, when I told her she was underfed and I fed her she started yelling at me saying "how dare you feed my cat". I told her if I ever saw her in that condition again I was going to call the humane society. Fast forward a month or so and I was on a business trip and hired a pet sitter. She called me one day and asked about this kitten that was always by her tires when she was ready to leave and I told her the story. She asked if I minded if she took the kitten. My response was "I'm not there, I know nothing" so she grabbed her and put her in the carrier she always kept in her car. It was 3 weeks before the people realized she was missing and figured a coyote got her. She had fleas and ear mites and was pregnant (at 6 months) so got cleaned up, had 2 healthy babies, and all 3 were desexed and adopted to good homes.
Neighbor is a thief for stealing cat and I make sure they go to jail for stealing my cat and I keep cat indoors
Isn't one of the rules or whatever of the bible to not steal? Who is the one that is going to be burning in hell huh? I love how she brings the bible ''YOU WILL BURN IN HELL, THIS IS GOD'S WISH'' but then proceeds to call the cops cause she wants to have the cat she STOLE back. Makes me wonder if the cops would actually take the cat back for her if there were no microchips.
the main problem theirs scientists who claim microchips are animal abuse and harm the animal and can shorten their life span my famly wont do it thinking this even though i say we should
Folks like this treat the Bible like a smorgasbord, pick a few things you want and ignore the rest.
I like how he uploads a little before I get out of school everyday it’s perfect timing
