Starting point is 00:00:00 To support sustainable food production, BHP is building one of the world's most sustainable cottage mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. It's happening now at BHP, a future resources company. Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best post from across Reddit. Today's subreddit is R-Slash entitled Parents. Our next Reddit post is from Instagram normies. Okay, back in elementary school, we had story competitions.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Whoever wrote the best story won like a hundred dollar end-of-go gift card. Anyway, so there was this kid, let's call him Marcus, who always won every single competition ever. And he was a rich kid coming to school in a BMW while the rest of us took the subway. So in 5th grade we had one of those story competitions. And the subject was hope, so Marcus wrote a speech about hope, not a story. He still got second because the speech slapped, but it was just that, a speech. And since he got second, he started crying and screaming while throwing a fit.
Starting point is 00:01:03 And his mother threatened to sue the school. She didn't. Then she started to scream at the kid who won first because she didn't deserve it, and was a little B and tried to grab the gift card and metal out of her hand. The school called the police and she was arrested. I'm not sure if she was charged though. Down in the comments, wait for 2016 had the exact same thought that I had.
Starting point is 00:01:28 How much you went in a bet that mommy Dearest was writing his competitions and her ego took a hit when she was beat out by a little girl. Our next reddit post is from Keith August. So this happened when I was a teenager, but I still think about it and when I found this subreddit I just had to post. So when I was 17 I got pregnant and the father didn't want anything to do about it, and when I found this subreddit, I just had to post. So when I was 17, I got pregnant, and the father didn't want anything to do with it, which was fine as we weren't even dating. I intended on putting the baby up for adoption because I wasn't ready for a child, and I'm
Starting point is 00:01:56 sure there's lovely people out there that could love and care and provide for my baby. However, my aunt, who already has six children, five boys and one girl, for some crazy reason, automatically believed that the child would be hers once I gave birth. She was also a terrible mother, so there's no way my child was going to her. I asked my parents if they'd told her this or anything, and they had no idea. All they'd told her was that I was pregnant and was going to give the baby up. I found all this out when I went to her place for my cousin's birthday. She made a comment about how she was going to have to make some room for the baby and I asked, wait, wow, are you pregnant again?
Starting point is 00:02:36 She laughed and then told me, no, when you give me your baby, silly. At this point, I literally thought she'd lost her marbles. I told her, no, I was giving my baby up for adoption. She just laughed once again and said, sure, that's what you're saying now. I continue to clearly tell her, no, you're not having my child. Like, this isn't some kind of, can I borrow your Barbie doll? This is literally a human. She just continued telling me I'll change my mind once I meet my baby. I gave up in the end because she just wouldn't accept the fact that I wouldn't give her my baby. When I went into labor, my mom told my grandpa who told my aunt and she turned up at the hospital waiting for me to give her my baby. I was pissed and told her to leave.
Starting point is 00:03:25 She finally left and it was the weirdest experience of my life. I'm close to my cousins and so I have seen her since but I haven't really properly spoken to her since. Our next reddit posted from Thor's hammer. So my father has always dooted on my mother. He worked hard so she wouldn't have to and could stay home to raise the kids. Except my mother was a firm believer in what she called a personal responsibility. In her words, I didn't wear those clothes so why should I have to wash them? That was something she said to me when I was nine. By the time I was 12, I was doing
Starting point is 00:04:02 the dishes, washing my own clothes, taking care of the dogs, emptying and cleaning the cat box, preparing my own meals, and a platter of other chores in the family farm. All of us kids were in the same boat. My dad was always gone, working hard to make sure we had a good life. While my mother was always watching Mori Povitch, Law & Order, various court shows, and taking naps while us kids did all the chores and basically raised ourselves. She ultimately became incredibly spoiled and, quite frankly, completely out of touch with reality.
Starting point is 00:04:36 As it does, time moved forward and all of us kids moved away, got married and had kids of her own. I specifically moved to Europe over 3500 miles away. The family farm suffered a bad fire and was passing to other hands and my folks moved into town. My dad was still working hard while my mother still stayed home so she could watch Maury, Judge Judy and other trash TV. Ever the same and unchanging. That is, until about a month ago. My dad started to feel a lot of pain in his back. So bad he couldn't walk or really move.
Starting point is 00:05:09 The doctor started a whole battery of tests and after a month they discovered that he has leukemia that had spread to his spine resulting in stage 4 bone cancer. The doctors believe that it's a non-aggressive form of the disease, however, it's too advanced to ever be cured, so they're trying to force it into remission through chemotherapy and immunotherapy. I called to see how they were doing, and my mother basically took over the call. This was her reaction to my father finding out that he is a disease that will ultimately kill him one day, likely sooner than later. She was worried about how this would affect their finances and as
Starting point is 00:05:45 such her trip to the casino. Not how they're going to pay the medical bills or maybe even the mortgage. She was worried about the casino. He was in an appointment for part of his cancer treatment and she was annoyed because she had no idea if he was rescheduling his chemo for October so she could go on her cruise. Like he was supposed to be doing. She bought a new living room set a few months ago. My dad and his immense amount of pain find it to be extraordinarily uncomfortable. He finds himself in even more pain every time he sits down in the new couch. However, his older cleaner he finds very comfortable. So naturally, my mother moved it out into the garage and tells
Starting point is 00:06:25 him that if he wants to be comfortable and sit in his chair, he can go out and sit in the garage. And no, the garage is not set up for comfortable human use. It's used for tools, storage, and her car that he paid for because she hasn't worked in decades. So my dad isn't allowed to bring his chair, the only one he finds comfortable into the house he's paying for, so that he can be comfortable because my mother doesn't find the chair aesthetically pleasing. Instead, according to my mother, he can go out into the garage and sit surrounded by junk with nothing to do but chain smoke because she doesn't want that red-eeled chair in her house.
Starting point is 00:07:05 And speaking of smoking, the man is dying of cancer and is trying to quit smoking because of it, so what does my mother do? Well, I bought him light cigarettes this time. Okay, great mom. Now he can go out into the garage and chain smoke the light cigarettes because there's nothing else to do out there. And when I suggested that she at least clean up the garage and send them up in a place that would allow them to watch his football and be comfortable, her only response was, why would I do that?
Starting point is 00:07:34 And then proceeded to complain about how much cleaning she has to do now that he's on chemo and is therefore immunocompromised. At first I thought she was just in denial, but when she said, he'd better be asking those doctors to move his chemo frag to hope her so I can go on my cruise like he's supposed to be doing. I realized that she's just an entitled monster who refuses to do things to make her dying husband more comfortable because they would be mild inconveniences for her. Every once in a while you'll see a story in the news about a couple who's been married for like 20 years and then just randomly one of them kills the other one. And after reading stories like this I can kind of understand how that happens.
Starting point is 00:08:14 As the world's population grows so does the need for resources like potash to support sustainable food production. This is why BHP is building one of the world's most sustainable potash mines in Canada. Essential resources responsibly produced. This is what BHP has committed to Canada. The future is clear.

Starting point is 00:09:16 This story happened earlier this week to preface this. Ever since the COVID lockdown, my church has been meeting online by a live stream. This has extended to small groups which are now done through Zoom meetings. This particular week was much like the others in terms of small groups, Bible talk, cracking jokes, and discussing pop culture. However, joining us this week was my friends on from Adoptown, the entitled Mother of the Story, who, from what I heard, had a tendency to have a holier than thou demeanor. At one point of the chat, we got to the topic of hobbies.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I took the moment to discuss my hobby of gaming, which was my big mistake. I talked about my gaming collection of different gaming consoles and games that I've collected over the years, which my friends found to be fascinating. So after about 40 minutes of talking in the small group, I get a phone call from my friends' phone number. I picked it up, only to be greeted by his aunt. Hello, OP. Entitled mother, what a surprise.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Well, I'm calling you from your friend's phone because I wanted to talk to you about something. Okay, what do you want to talk about? During small group, you mentioned that you had a collection of video games and video game systems. Yeah, what about them? Well, you see, it's just that strong Christian men like you shouldn't be wasting time playing video games. You should be dedicating your time towards getting married, starting a family, and teaching them the ways of God and the Bible. Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Remember, the Bible tells men to put away childish things and video games are definitely under that category. So, what are you suggesting I do with my collection then? You should donate it to a child in need. Better yet, my son loves video games and his birthday is coming up, so you should give it to him. I'm sure he'd be grateful. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable doing that. I'll tell you what, I'm in town tell Wednesday. I'll call you back tomorrow. This gives you plenty of time to pray about it.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Hopefully God convinces you to man up and put away childish things. Good night now, and she hangs up on me. I sat there for a good 15 minutes with anger stowing in my mind over the audacity of this entiled mother. I wanted to call her back and curse her out until a light bulb went off in my head. At that moment, an evil, grinch grin had crept across my face. My mind had just formulated a perfect response to entitled mother's request. The next day, I spent the day waiting for my friends on to call me.
Starting point is 00:11:47 In the evening, the moment came. I saw my friends number ringing my phone, and the evil Grinch grin came back to my face. Why hello entitled mother, how are you today? I'm doing well. Have you thought about our conversation from yesterday? Why yes I have. What did you decide? In my best jolly, holier than now, Joel Austin voice I said,
Starting point is 00:12:11 Well, I prayed long and hard about what you said, and I spent some time reading the Bible. And? Well, growing boys are very pivotal to the future of the Kingdom of God and building a relationship with Jesus is very important to their upbringing. In all honesty, video games are just going to be a distraction to him, and time spent playing them is better dedicated to learning about the Bible. But that'sโ€ฆremember entitled mother. The book of Proverbs tells us to start children off on the way they should go, and Ephesians tells us to bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. So unfortunately, I'll have to pass on gifting your son my gaming collection.
Starting point is 00:12:52 However, I will gladly send a children's study Bible and a DVD collection of veggie tales to my friend and he can send them to you. But OP, wait, it's not going to be an issue. I'm sorry entitled mother, but I have an important dinner arrangement to go to. Goodbye now, and I hang up. I turned off my phone after that to make sure that entitled mother couldn't call me back. Later on that night, my friend sent me a message on Facebook apologizing for his on-s behavior. Apparently, she took his phone behind his back to make both calls,
Starting point is 00:13:24 and my friend got really upset when he found out about what an entitled mother was asking of me. But, at the end of the day, I still have my collection of my hobby. Mario Kart, anyone? Our next Reddit post is from Bellamy. So, basically, I'm a 20-year-old percussionist, and I'm getting myself into digital music. I'm just a newbie, but I wanted to try it out. I had the option of buying myself a rather high-end gaming PC since I'm just a newbie, but I wanted to try it out. I had the option of buying myself a rather high-end gaming PC since I've worked a bit and I had some money to spare. I'm also a bit of a gamer, so I decided to mix digital music and gaming and build a machine
Starting point is 00:13:54 that could help me with both. Now, here's where the entitled parent comes in. I live in a condo where my neighbors are a family of three with a 10 or 11 year old child, I don't remember exactly. I've talked with them quite a lot, and I helped their son choose his first personal computer two years ago. But since the new Warzone came out, his PC wasn't enough now, and he needed a new one. His mother knew that I was building a computer and decided to knock on my door this morning. Here's the conversation. Hey, I was just looking for you.
Starting point is 00:14:24 You're building a new computer, are you? Um, yeah, why? Oh, my kid says that his computer isn't enough anymore, and I was wondering if you could help him out. Great, I can suggest some parts and help him build one. Just tell me what's the budget. Oh, here's the problem. There's no budget.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I can spend as much as I want on his configuration. No, I was thinking that you should just give him the one you have now. You're too old for games anyway, aren't you? I was still building the computer at this time, and I couldn't believe what words it just left her mouth. Why should I? I'm building this PC for myself with my money. I won't give your kid anything.
Starting point is 00:15:06 But why are you in university now? You don't have time to play games. You don't know how much free time I have and that's none of your business. Oh, come on, you're an adult now. Adults don't play video games. Adults do play video games and again, what I do with my free time is none of your business.
Starting point is 00:15:27 You know you're never going to get a girlfriend like this. Girls don't go after men who play video games. Are you for real? Of course, just give it to my kid. He's still a kid and he needs it. Goodbye. At this point, I was so angry that I wanted to punch this lady in the face, but I just slammed my front door shut and walked back to building my PC.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Basically, this woman just wanted me to give my 1500 Euro PC to her kid because I'm an adult and I need a girlfriend. I mean, I am single right now, but I firmly believe that gaming is not the cause of that. Hey Opie, I'm an adult who plays video games and that's actually how I got started with my professional YouTube career, so don't listen to the haters.
