Today, a close friend came over with her three-year-old son. The child used a crayon on the walls, flushed my money down the toilet, and threw up. My friend was seriously offended when I asked her to help me clean everything up. FML

A real friend would have offered to clean it up before you even asked.

I don't think I would invite her to my house again if that is how she is going to act.

It honestly seems really nice of you to only ask her to help you clean it up. I feel like I would have gotten pretty upset or made her clean it up herself. You're too good of a friend for someone like her, OP.

I'd have at least asked her to replace the money that got flushed.

She definitely doesn't deserve OP's kindness. If I were treated like that after trying to be nice about it, I would be asking her to reimburse me for the cost painting over the crayon in addition the flushed money.

Why wasn't she watching her kid in the first place? I'm also curious how the kid got your money. I get that 3 year old's are evil, but dayum.

I'm in no way blaming the op, but did you see any of this happening? If you did you should've stepped in and tried to stop him if the mom wasn't. Or have made her stop him. And where was she? Did she just walks into a different room and leave him to do whatever? Horrible parenting and stupid friend!

They were probably talking and got deep into the conversation so OP didn't notice what was going on until after. That being said no matter how deep into the conversation they were the mom should have been making sure her kid didn't get into trouble. Like what kind of mom doesn't watch their kid while in someone else's house and then has the nerve to get pissy when asked to help clean up after their kid. Honestly if that were to happen to me after politely asking to help I would have flipped shit and made her clean up and reimburse my money. Some people really should not have kids.

If op doesnt have kids she MAY not know how quickly kids can get into things. Or know how high the kid can reach.

You should apologize with a gift. If you need any help getting something, the OP from a couple FMLs down has a Furbie that I think would make an appropriate gift.

That could be arranged. With pleasure too, that woman is a grade A ****

Omg this is literally the best thing I've read ever

Show it anyway

Rarely can you blame the kids. Usually it's neglectful parenting. Common sense tells you not to let your kid run wild and act up in someone's house.

Don't blame the kids. It's the parenting. Common sense tells you not to let your kid run wild and act up in someone's house. Even if you are the best parent and you kid is just an evil seed wouldn't you know not to let them run amuck ?

Tried to post got an error message then the app shut down. Went back to post and ended up posting twice. My bad.

At three years old, how is he supposed to know what behavior is inappropriate if his mother lets him do whatever he wants?

No you hate the parents that dont parent their kids. Children are innocent at that age.

As if you weren't a child once.

Close friend or not, any decent person should feel embarrassed and take responsibility if their child makes a mess like that in someone else's home...

I put that I agree that your life sucks, but you shouldn't have let him have crayons, and you shouldn't have left money in a nonsecure spot

She should leave whatever she wants to wherever she wants to in her own damn house! I think we found OP'S "friend"

No, that vile woman should take responsibility for her daughter like any real mother would

Most parents don't take any responsibility nor admit their children misbehaved, they constantly justify their miniature dicktators saying "they are just children".

If you don't have kids, there's no reason to child proof your home. The mother should have supervised her child, end of story.

Some mothers just have a "my child would never do anything wrong" attitude. Nothing you can do.

The truth. Like literally sometimes my little brother can be just like a little devil child and then my sister and I get blamed for his acting up or she doesn't care. Like ugh the other day he wrecked some of my stuff when I wasn't home and it was in my room downstairs and she didn't even care she just ignored me and went outside for a smoke, uuuggggghhh.

I really hope you're a lot older than your brother and able to move out soon because without punishment he is going to get soo much worse and probably turn into a very bratty entitled kid.

Sounds like you are using the term "friend", rather loosly, they don't sound like a friend

I hate parents like that, my best friend's mom is the same. Her little brother broke my mom's sunglasses and he didn't even get punished and her parents didn't even apologize or even make him apologize.
