Kids and Parents: Not my problem

Not my problem

By Anonymous - 27/09/2023 08:00 - United States - Eagle Mountain

Today, a mom got pissed at me when I didn’t help her kid after it smacked its face into a table on the train. I got up and walked to a new table while she still yelled at me for 10 minutes. Not my mistake, so maybe watch your own mistakes. FML

Today, as I was trying to get off a crowded train, some asshole pushed past me hard enough to nearly knock me over. My bag hit a preschool kid standing behind me, and I missed my stop trying to apologize to him. His mom yelled at me all the way to the next stop. FML

Today, a customer asked a question I couldn’t answer. I asked if she would wait while I consulted someone else, but she spat in my face and stormed off. My manager saw, wrote me up for refusing to help, and gave the woman a gift card for her troubles. FML

Today, a kid got his hand stuck inside my store's giant gumball machine. He started crying, and his negligent trainwreck of a mom bitched me out for being "unobservant." I'd been mopping up the mess she'd made after she'd spilled an open can of beer all over the floor. FML

Stranger danger

Today, I helped a 6 year-old boy who was left alone at a store to get back home. The kid's parents were grateful, but my mother cussed me out and called me stupid for helping the kid. No good dead goes unpunished. FML

Call CPS, quick

Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML

Today, I was verbally harassed by a customer because I wouldn’t give her special treatment after her meal was incorrect. I offered her a refund and a coupon for a free meal, which she refused before calling me a stupid kid who wouldn’t do anything to help her. FML

Today, I tripped over a kid at work. She was sitting on the floor with her legs sticking out into the walkway. Her mom caused a scene, accusing me of doing it on purpose. FML

Child labor

Today, I was dining out with friends. I saw a mom instructing her young child to go to empty tables and take whatever cash had been left. I discreetly told the manager. He confronted the woman and pointed right at me. As she was being thrown out, she tossed a very heavy mug at my head. It hit me. FML

MANNERS!

By Anonymous - 05/04/2024 17:00 - United States

Today, my mother gave me a reprimand for my table manners when I didn't ask for someone to pass the vegetables I could have gotten myself. She then let out a raunchy fart at the table, and had the nerve to yell, "Did you ask to be excused?!" as I vacated the area. FML

The Headmaster Ritual

By angry mama - 21/09/2019 00:01

Today, while picking my daughter up from school, I saw her being beaten by two boys while the teacher stood there doing nothing. I ran to help, but then she pushed one of the boys off her. The teacher then pulled her away, yelled at her and then yelled at me for "not raising my kid right." FML

No kidding!!! A few years ago, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot while my daughter was in dance class. A mom was walking though the parking lot with a boy like kindergarten or first grade age. He was running while looking backwards at his mom, and ran smack into the side mirror of my car. He started crying. Instead of apologizing to me for potential damage to my car, she started yelling at me! I was in a parking spot and my car wasn’t running ot anything. WTH???

Next time an entitled parent does this to you, complain to train staff that they're harassing you. If the staff are competent, they'll tell the parent to knock it off or be escorted off the train.

Do you view yourself as someone's mistake? Just because you don't want children don't assume those around you are mistakes. I'm pretty sure you were referred to as a crotch-goblin or a mistake by snoby persons like you at least once.

Say the car has a mind of its own, then wing her with the door and feign ignorance

Obviously the kid didn't need much help if the parent had time to yell at you for 10 minutes but reading your last sentence gives a feeling you wouldn't have helped anyone with anything.
