r/EntitledParents - He Used our Home like a HOTEL...

what's up guys welcome to daily dose of reddit this is your host zach in today's subreddit entitled parents this story is called relatives invited for dinner assume they're staying the night my dad is the only member of my family with whom i have a close relationship as he is the only one who accepts my choice to remain child free and focus on my career and travel as for my stepmom stepbrother and his wife uncles aunts and cousins all of them have given me hell for my lifestyle i'm now in my mid-30s and ever since i entered my late 20s they began badgering me to get married preferably to a man my father chooses for me i'm indian so you can imagine how this goes i got the usual bs bingos such as who will take care of you when you're old you're selfish for only thinking about yourself you need to marry and breed because that's what women do around 4 years ago i finally got sick and tired of them and decided to ignore their calls and texts i've only maintained low contact with my step-brother because he was not quite as hard as the others i was never close with these people to begin with so it wasn't difficult for a while they took to harassing my dad to get him to get his daughter in line but he shut them down by saying that it was my life my decisions at the time when this incident took place a certain crisis had arisen in my extended family one that directly affected my dad i don't wish to go into details but it compelled me to interact with these people again so my stepmom's sister her husband their teenage son along with their grown son his wife and their toddler came to our city to discuss matters my dad and i decided that we can all chat at my place as it's close to the airport so all of these folks along with my dad stepmom stepbrother and sister-in-law and their baby are at my place we all ate dinner and talked about the issue at length however it was quite an ordeal for me as i had to constantly tell off the toddler stepmom's great niece as she kept trying to grab my cat and dogs or make loud noises at them i asked her parents to intervene but they just laughed it off my pets are very well behaved but are not used to being around kids especially if they're annoying little brats whose parents refused to discipline them as soon as the discussion was over stepmom's sister asks which of the bedrooms was for them i was caught a bit off guard and asked her what she meant her husband chimed in and asked rather demanded that i get two of the bedrooms ready for their family we'll be spending the night here one breakfast better be served before 8 o'clock in the morning as we don't want to miss our flight he said this with the matter of factness of a seasoned parasite this was my breaking point not once had i indicated that they would be staying in my house i just offered to host them for dinner once that's it even my dad was shocked i told them very bluntly that i'm not particularly fond of their family and do not feel comfortable letting them spend the night also how the heck did they get this ridiculous idea anyway now my stepmom flared up she no longer speaks to me directly so she began asking my dad why his daughter could not put up family members in her home for one night how can she be so selfish my stepbrother's kids chose this exact moment to start bawling so my sister-in-law told her to stop yelling as the baby was getting upset thanks kid i told everyone in a firm voice that we've discussed what we were supposed to discuss and it was time for them to leave stepmom and her sister walked out grumbling everyone else followed the toddler's mom asked if her kid could pet my dogs i just said no with a straight face which seemed to annoy her the baby was still bawling like a champ so no one was able to say anything else i never even wanted these people in my home to begin with so letting them spend the night was obviously out of the question if they had asked beforehand and asked politely then i would have considered it but i refuse to be a doormat for poop shoots who can't keep their entitlement in check this redditor is a strong independent woman and she needs no children besides dogs and cat are quite a handful but in all seriousness i 100 see where she's coming from again unintentionally relating to the story um brown parents can be so so overbearing and so entitled as many parents are but still i can really attest to the story but yeah good on her for standing up for herself and what she wants with her life which can be really hard when everyone around you is like what no this story is called the tale of two kids two parents dungeons and dragons and a game store long one prepare yourselves once upon a time there is a game store every wednesday this game store hosts adventurer league where players looking to play d d will get placed in one of the few existing groups consisting of a bunch of strangers those who are familiar with d would know the age-old dilemma of too many players not enough dungeon masters this is especially true with one certain group consisting of the dungeon master the quiet girl steve the town guard tweedledee and tweedledum me good parent and good kid this group already had seven players a number which would make most bach but this dungeon master was a trooper now good kid is young young enough that he didn't always get the nuances of playing with more mature people tweedledee and dom were in middle school but they were also mature enough to understand that playing with kids is very different from playing with adults and acted appropriately in a non-disruptive manner a good kid has his moments but good parent was always there to reign him in and calm him you know like an actual parent good parents would also make good kid read the game rules and adhere to them instead of letting him play however he wanted you know like an actual parent sometimes he would also talk to good kid about the do's and don'ts of role-playing and how to not annoy everyone around you you know like an actual parent for months this group was cruising along in harmony until one day when the entitled parent and entitled kid attacked this large group of seven players and one dungeon master was suddenly saddled with an eighth player entitled kid entitled kid who has never played is unfamiliar with the rules and is even younger than goodkid it's just for now until he can find him a better group says the store clerk i mean you have a good kid in tweedledee and tweedledum who are kids surely one more won't hurt no worries says the dungeon master i'm fine dming for large groups but i suppose this will be okay yeah agreed poor naive me i'm always happy to introduce new players to d d he's a bright cat says entitled parents he picks things up really fast he'll learn the game in the roles in no time and then she leaves her seven to eight-year-old kid in a store with a bunch of strangers for three hours spoiler alert entitled kid did not learn about the game and rules in no time at the end of entitled kids first session it became painfully apparent that his age or his status of a newbie was not the issue no he would not sit down and listen when the group tried to explain the rules to him he would climb on top of a stack of chairs and stand on them he would talk non-stop about the most random things that were not d d related and seriously distract the group all who are trying to play he would move miniatures around the battlefield and mess up whatever was happening in the battle he thought his character was thor who could throw his battle hammer once and kill all the bad guys spoiler alert dungeons and dragons doesn't work that way most egregiously of all he would take the store's merchandise and move them around or hide it but op i hear you say why weren't any of you watching entitled kid he's part of the group now right actually no it's only temporary until there's a smaller game since the group was already so large and the group did watch him for the first two sessions coincidentally the group did not get much playing done during those two sessions every single week entitled parent would drop off entitled kid with us and leave to buddha knows where it became very apparent that she saw this group as weekly babysitting also to play in the store you'd have to pay five dollars each session this group was paying five dollars each to babysit a kid who didn't know how to play didn't want to learn how to play and was giving them a massive migraine dungeon master began complaining to the store but since entitled kid hasn't done anything illegal in their eyes entitled kid had placed all the merchandise back in the rifle places after dungeon master yelled at him and the store wasn't concerned that he might do it again anyways they wouldn't kick him out dungeon master requested that entitled kid be moved to another table but other groups were also full so they were stuck with him until new dungeon masters show up to run their games dungeon master then tells entitled parent of entitled kids behavior and requests that she teach him the rules you see entitled parent claimed that she played d d when she was younger and she knew the rules perhaps she can teach entitled kid how to play the same way good parent taught good kid amazingly enough entitled parent did not blow up at dungeon master for accusing entitled kid of bad behavior she said she would talk to entitled kid on how to behave spoiler alert she did not talk to entitled kid because he acted even worse than before okay but how's entitled parent entitled i hear you say yeah expecting the group to babysit is bad but it could be worse maybe she's tired being a mom is a thankless constant job it's just three hours a week and she hasn't done anything entitled well my dear listener who conveniently glossed over the fact that everyone paid five dollars to play d d not to be free babysitters luckily i have news for you dungeon master has the phone number of every group member and entitled kid's case he has entitled parent's number according to him entitled parent is seeing the writing on the wall she knows 8 players is too much for most dungeon masters to handle she knows entitled kid is disruptive to the group and no one likes him she also knows there's a 99.999999 chance that entitled kid will not stay in the group especially when the store clerk confirmed that his placement is only temporary since day one dungeon master told us entitled parent had been asking him to kick someone out from the group to make room for entitled kid the people whom he'd been playing with longer and whom he actually liked and formed a bond with to her very little credit she didn't yell and demand her way the good news is more dungeon masters came to the store looking to start a new game entitled kid was immediately placed with someone who knew how to deal with kids knew how to make entitled kid behave and is infinitely more patient than the group was the bad news is dungeon master had to leave for a year to do job training with the promise of returning and i have taken over as the group's new dungeon master now i also have a session tomorrow and still am not completely prepared for it because i greatly procrastinated to write this story oh we've all we've all been there you know having something you enjoy doing being ruined by little kids now okay kids are cool and everything but you know there's certain things that are a lot better with you know people that aren't little kids such as pretty much everything that little kids don't typically do on their own and this is especially true with a game like d d which takes i'm assuming a lot of imagination a lot of concentration and you know you have to immerse yourself and a little kid being there is really annoying and i can definitely see that killing the immersion you know when things are getting good if it does get good at all with a little kid there sorry i've had too many things ruined by kids but again i like kids still this story is called my child has peanut allergies remove all peanuts from this public park now a few years ago some friends and i went for a picnic in a public forest preserve on a summer afternoon the covered pavilion was huge about 60 meters by 80 meters with dozens of picnic tables and a fire pit dozens of different families and groups were there enjoying the day in this public area it was nice and then enter karen the entitled mother she planted herself next to our table all the other tables were full she showed up with her two other karen haircut friends and their squad of toddlers apparently for entitled mother's kids birthday party this park has no reserve tables it was first come first served entitled mother was huffing irritated that she and her precious squad had to sit next to a group of young people she huffed a bit gave dirty looks we ignored her and unpacked our food all was well until i opened a bag of peanuts we were watching baseball on a laptop you gotta have peanuts for baseball excuse me hey are those peanuts yes do you want some i can share here take some for the kids i was trying to be polite she began yelling and slapped the offered bag away no get those away from here get them out right now i was totally confused what okay you don't like peanuts got it i turned away back to my friends happy to ignore her but hey didn't you hear me my child is allergic to peanuts they could kill her at this point my friends were ready to tell her off but i'm more diplomatic i'm sorry i don't know you nor your child if i did i would not have offered you peanuts now that i know i will keep my peanuts at our table away from your kid okay enjoy your party with that polite de-escalation i returned to my baseball game and everyone had a great day no of course not entitled mom grabs me by the shoulder listen you are threatening the life of my child you have been told that there is an allergic child in this pavilion the law says you must remove these peanuts from the park now at this point i was in shock a peanut law my friend extricated me from her grasp we can eat whatever we want it's a public park if you don't like what we are eating go sit somewhere else we have the allergy so we have the right of way that's the law if you don't take those peanuts out of here i'm calling the police at this point her cairns clucked in support i told my friends to ignore her they all started eating my peanuts loudly and defiantly i was careful to make sure all the shells stayed in our trash bag though i didn't actually want to hurt the kid of course things quieted down but 30 minutes later she did it the forest preserve policeman pulled up entitled mother accosted him those people are trying to kill my child they are throwing peanuts at our kids knowing they are allergic to peanuts i froze absolutely terrified she was a rich middle-aged woman in fancy clothes we were poor kids in street clothes i feared the policemen would side with her my friends broke out an angry protest luckily the dozen other families around us were sick of entitled mothers ranting many other people chimed in calling out the peanut throwing as a lie and confirming that the entitled mother was the instigator the policeman scolded entitled mother for the frivolous 9-1-1 call he also confirmed that there is no allergy law if we kept our peanuts at our table we were fine she got off with a warning entitled mother and her karens ended their party early sending us some evil looks on the way out we enjoyed our peanuts beer and baseball the rest of the day picnic cool park cool pavilion cool you know good time peanuts also cool baseball on a laptop who goes to the park to watch baseball on a laptop what this story is called entitled mom tries to take my holiday time this story happened a couple of years ago and while not amazing i found it kind of satisfying the entitled mother was a co-worker and was generally really nice though she was a gossip and crapstire anyway she had worked at the company for a few years before i started so she had seniority over me we were both part-time anyway the assistant manager and i became really good friends and we decided to go traveling overseas together for whatever reason we decide that around september was the best time for both of us to go which happened to coincide with a two-week school holiday in my country we both asked our manager and head office if it would be okay for two people to be gone at the same time we formally applied like two months before the date and were officially approved when entitled mom found out she was urinated for the last five or so years she had been working there and had been taking every school holiday off to be with her kids so she assumed that we would be denied our time off cause we couldn't have three people out of the store at once she came up to both me and our assistant manager on separate shifts and would talk to us about our trip she asked me what date we had picked and when i told her she informed me that it was really unfortunate but that was the school holidays and she would be taking that time off to take her kids to the beach and that she was sorry we'd have to change our plans i can't remember what she said to our assistant manager but i think it was similar we were both confused and upset thinking that something must have happened and our manager changed her mind we obviously asked the manager and she got really angry our manager is a fiery portuguese woman who everyone equal parts loves and fears you don't mess with her she ripped the entitled mother a new one told her how disrespectful she was for trying to go behind her back that she wasn't entitled to have every school holiday off and only did cause manager was kind enough to approve it and that she wasn't the only one working there who was a mother who would have loved to have that time off to be with her kids entitled mother tried to argue back that her and her family had already paid for the vacation house but managers shut her down saying it wasn't her problem that they already rented somewhere without applying and being approved for time off i can't recall the particulars but i remember that with her shifts she still would have been able to attend four to five out of the seven days they had booked she just would have to leave later and meet her family at the beach well that wasn't good enough for her she ended up quitting her job over it i still saw her from time to time it took her a couple of years to find another job and even then i don't know how long she was there for okay the entitled mom was actually 100 in the wrong however i do kind of see where she's coming from because like you know she was used to having that time off for the past five years so i don't necessarily think it was that crazy of her to assume that she could get that time off but what she did was really shady but again kind of understandable given that she already paid for it and yeah but the correct thing to do would have been to talk to the boss don't forget to like subscribe and hit that bell to never miss an episode [Music]
