Today, at the store, I noticed a girl eyeing a chocolate bunny. Her mom refused to buy it, saying they didn't have enough money. She started crying, so I decided to make her day and offered to buy it for her. Her mom reacted by slapping me across the face and calling me a "pedo." FML

Op, here. I'm fifteen years old and am absolutely not a pedo. I am a boy and thought that I was doing something good for the girl. All of the comments about healthy eating habits are not true, the woman was buying a lot of candy, but wouldn't let the girl have the rabbit. Idk why, she reminded me of my little cousin and I decided to buy it for her. The mother did keep the rabbit, though, so I don't know why she lashed out at me :/

Oh my god, some people don't know what being kind, and considerate is.

No good deed goes unberated. I would have shot back with "I was being kind, you uptight twat!"

The mom could have handled it differently.

As a kid, I know I would have thought that was the best thing ever. It sucks she reacted that way, but you were trying to do a nice thing. It's up to other people to recognize that.

Oftentimes parents tell their kids little white lies because their kids don't need more candy right after Easter. Slapping was obnoxious, she could have just politely explained that she didn't want the chocolate.

Well some kids don't get candy until after Easter when they go on sale...if your tight on money, gotta do what you can

#58, cool story, obviously doesn't relate to this situation though, as the child wasn't getting the candy period.

Looks like the forecast for today's parenting is chocolate with a side of nuts.

Some parents just don't want to stuff their kids with candy; it's not exactly healthy. My guess is THAT was the reason she said no. Then you came along and ruined it. Yeah she could have handled it better, but YDI. It was none of your business, and you insulted her by suggesting she really COULDN'T afford it.

And this is why people can't do nice things for each other.

When the mother said they couldn't afford it, she didn't mean the don't have a single dollar. It meant no I don't want to buy you a candy bar and made the kid feel bad so they would stop asking for it.

thiers a pretty good chance she legitimately couldent afford it... i know alot of people who are hard pressed to keep gas in thier gastank... they walk around in parkinglots for spair change... its not polite to assume, if she said she couldent afford it then she should have been prepared for someone offering, ive done it hundreds of times

Not for nothing but how do you know that the mom didn't just say that to her child because she didn't want the child to have the chocolate at all? Diet, sugar high etc...I mean the bunny was probably only a dollar or two. I'm sure she could afford that. She probably just used that as an excuse in terms a child could understand.

Well apparently the child was old enough to understand you need money to buy things, that's why the mother said she didn't have enough to buy it.
