Episode Date: January 15, 2021

r/Entitledparents OP is minding his own business, walking his dog when an entitled mother and her spoiled kid spot the dog. The kid immediately rushes over to the dog and tries to enter OP's house, but OP stops the child because the dog can be a little aggressive. Naturally, the mother flips out and threatens to call the cops on OP for having an aggressive dog if he doesn't let her child pet it. Later, OP finds the child trying to harass the dog in his own backyard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today's subreddit is R-Slash entitled Parents, where an entitled mother actually tries to murder her own kid. Our next reddit post is from Cranky Throat away. This isn't my story, but a friend's story. They don't use reddit, but they said I could share it.

I started working at the age of 13 to pay bills, because my mom thought that cutting off the power and having no food in the house was a good form of punishment. Since I had to work so much, I bought a car at the age of 16, so I no longer had to walk two miles to school, four miles to work, and then five and a half miles home every day. I bought the car from my then-boyfriend's dad, and he kept it in his name, so that way my mom couldn't never take it. When I turned 18, the title got switched over to my name, so this car was never hers. One day in January, I was in the kitchen gathering my lunch to go to work for the day when my mom came in.

This was highly unusual because she was never up before noon. I just ignored her presence. Where are you going this early? Work? Don't be rude to me. I want you to go and get me a coffee before you go to work. No, sorry. I don't have the time or money to get you a coffee and bring it back before I go to work. Excuse me? What did you just say to me? I don't have the time right now, I'm gonna be late. Fine, in that case you lose the car privileges for three weeks. She lunges for the keys that were in my hands. What?

No, I have to get to work. No, you do not disrespect me in my own house and think you can run around all willy nilly. You're not going anywhere. With that, she begins to claw at my arms as I was holding the keys above her head. She kicked, screamed, punched, and gouged at me. She grabbed me by my shoulders, and through our combined 300 pounds backwards,

causing her to go flying into the kitchen table. She got quite a few bumps and bruises, but nothing substantial happened. She stood up and screamed, do you see what you did to me? How could you do this to your own mother? I've done everything for you, but that isn't enough, is it? I noticed that she dropped the keys, so I scrambled to try to pick them up. I got them, and my next goal was to get out of there as quickly as possible. My mom saw me trying to leave, and in her last effort to show me that she was in charge,

she grabbed a steak knife from the cutlery drawer and stabbed me in my side. I just laid there in shock. She got up, brushed herself off, and went to sit in the living room. After a moment of utter shock, I crawled to a phone and called the police. To summarize the outcome, the police came and I was immediately rushed to the hospital where I had to have surgery. My mom was charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, among other things. She got 19 years in prison and has been denied parole multiple times. Oh my gosh OP, that went from zero to felony manslaughter real quick.

Also in an edit OP clarified that his mom tried to claim self-defense in court and when that didn't work she tried to plead insanity. Our next reddit posted from ghetto duck. I had an eventful Christmas. Between toxic family members in this situation, Lord knows I'm ready for 2021. So, after an incredibly toxic family dinner, my wife and I decided to take our dogs on a walk. I have two dogs in both of them are rescues. The first one, named Miles, is a chunk mice for supreme.

He's super patient and super kind. The other dog, Samson, is an anxious mess. He was abused, and he barks at random strangers. He's a sweet boy, but we've been working on leash aggression. Anyway, we began our walk around our neighborhood when my wife realized she forgot something. She had Samson and she quickly ran inside to grab it. I believe she forgot her gloves. It was cold outside, but don't quote me on that.

As I'm waiting in our driveway, an entitled mother and entitled brat walk by. It starts off as a normal, naively talk and then we wish each other a merry Christmas. The entitled brat stooped down to pet Miles, which is completely fine with me. Miles likes attention and he's a sweet dog again, handle it. The entitled mother continues talking when I hear a bark come from her front door. I turn and see my wife is standing by the doorway. She sees entitled mother and entitled brat and goes back in the house and waits for them to leave. That's always our routine with Samson because he needs a minute to get used to being on his leash. The entitled Brad saw my other dog and ran over to the glass door to look at him. Samson

is losing his mind behind the glass and I quickly went over and tried to explain that he had a bad owner before we adopted him so he's scared. The kid didn't care. He wanted to see Samson and he demanded to see him now. He put his hand on the door not to try and open the door, but I lightly pushed his hand off of it. The entitled mother ran over, and I expected her to explain to her kid why he couldn't just open some random person's door, especially during a pandemic. But instead, she yells at me for pushing his hand off the door.

I was taken aback, but apologized nonetheless. I just wanted them to get away from the door. The little boy kept screaming that he wanted to see Samson, and I was trying to explain to the mom why that wasn't possible when she crossed her arms and frowned. If he's so violent, maybe I should just call animal control. At this point, my mood is terrible. I look at the woman until her she can get off my property now and have a Merry Christmas. She rolls her eyes and takes her entitled brat by the hand and walks through the street.

She stands right off my driveway and crosses her arms and tells me that if I bring that dog out in a box, she's going to call Animal Control. The entitled brat is still screaming for the dog, I just look at my wife defeated. I feel like she's a type of woman who would follow us on the walk just to be petty. So I walked back into the house, took my dogs off the harnesses, and my wife and I went on our walk alone. That was fine. When we got back, however, I saw my grandfather screaming at someone. My wife and I run over to see our back gate open. The entitled Brad and apparently the entitled Brad's older brother who was about 14 were standing at the gate of our backyard with my grandpa standing between them. They had a super-soaker and they said they wanted to spray our dogs for

being mean dogs. I took their super-soaker from them and broke it then I tossed it into the street. I was probably over dramatic but if Samson was back there when they were sneaking back there, this could have gone really wrong. They ran off crying, and then the entitled mother came waddling back to our house. We wouldn't answer the door, so she stayed on our porch for 30 minutes and demanded that we buy a new supersoaker for our kids. When she finally left, she threatened to crack our gate open the middle of the night so the dogs would get out.

Thankfully, my wife had the right mind to record this, so if anything happens we can bring it to the authorities. Also, I have this to say, please just listen to people when they're working with a reactive dog. OP, if I were you, I would also install security cameras because this doesn't seem like a type of family to just let it drop. Hi, I'm Pete Davidson, and if you're like most people, you may be asking yourself, well, hey Pete, are you here to up my hydration game? And I'd be like, hey you, that's exactly right, with new smart water alkaline with antioxidant. And you'd be like, okay cool, but there's no way there's a higher pH, right? And I'd be like, there actually is!

And you'd be like, that's rad, I hope there's electrolytes for taste too. And I'd be like, you're not going to believe this. Elevate how you hydrate and keep it smart with smart water alkaline. What do I love getting my holiday gifts with Chopper's drug mark, the PC Optimum Points? Perfume from Mom? Points for me. Gaming console for the kids?

Points for me? Chalkids for the teachers? Oh yeah, points for me. Shoppers. You should totally go. Exclusions apply. Our next Reddit post is from it's Sasha. I'd gone out to see my psychologist on Monday and had a great session. On my way back home, I decided to wander the CBD for a bit. I find it fun, and we have virtually zero risk of the virus here, so I can be safe while

doing it too. I was wandering through Target and was coming up near the register when I heard the sound of a feminine voice starting to rise. Me being the nosy beward that I am, hung around to listen to the drama. The conversation starts with Karen. But you have to have it in stock. Your website says that you do. The poor workers she was talking to responded. The website isn't always accurate, it's better to call the store. But I NEED that item. Where else can I get it? You could probably get it another store. I don't want to go to another store.

The manager hears this and walks over. Hi, can I help you? I need this item, but this worker says you don't have it in stock. Unfortunately it's a very popular item and we sold out quite quickly. Well, where else can I get one? You might be able to find one in another store. I don't want to go to another store. I want it at this store.

We could order it in for you. How long will that take? Right now about two weeks. That is not going to work. I need this effing item for my kids for Christmas. Please keep your voice to reasonable levels. F you, I'll yell if I want to, you're being stupid. A security guard was already enraused but he hurried over with this.

The security guard said, I'm rescinding your ride to shop here, please leave the store. No, I want my item. Leave now. Karen goes quiet for a moment and then spins on her heel and storms away quickly. She looks back and says, I'm going to call a corporate. I know a high up manager there. I swear to God I'll bing! Karen didn't see that the door was slowly opening and promptly walked into it. Multiple people started to laugh at this point, including the security guard. The poor employee she had been harassing was hiding her face. The manager was going through a titanic struggle to keep his composure.

Karen then made the decision to turn around and start swearing at the people who were laughing. Shut up, shut up all of you! I'm going to sue this store! You're all going to be jobless by Christmas Day!" She turns to walk out the door, not realizing that by this point she was behind the sensor range, so she walked into the closed door again. She lets out a scream of rage and starts pounding on the door. No one could hold back this time. Seeing someone storm into a closed door,

twice in a row was beyond hilarious. Everyone who was watching was howling with laughter. Open, open you effing grunt, open! The security guard walks forward and waves the sensor, making the door open. Karen lets out another scream and storms out. Our next reddit post is from NoCluWhatToUserName. Note, this was pre-quarantine where I live, back in February 2020 to be precise. Some backstory, I work in a reserved gift shop. I'm one of the workers that runs our magic scavenger hunt game.

It's a lot of fun and I really do love my job. I get to walk the force of the game, help people playing it, explain the game to everyone and dress up in costumes. It's a lot of fun. Around the hallways of our resort, we have chess which you use once to open, they use sensors and stuff. But a lot of the time kids like to force open chess with their hands when they don't open for

whatever reason. We always have to tell kids not to do that because when the chess are force open they break and they tend to slam shut on fingers. I've gotten my fingers caught in them before because I tend to stick my hand in there to stop them from slamming on kids' hand and let me tell you, it effing hurts. One day I was floor walking and helping people out with the game, the usual. When I see a little girl, maybe 2-3 years old forcing a chest open. Now the chest slamming shut on my adult hands hurts like hell. So I can't even imagine what it would do to a little toddler's hands.

Like I imagine broken fingers maybe. At the very least it would be very painful and possibly ruin their vacation at the resort. So as per usual, I hurry over and hook my hand under the lid of the chest to keep it from slamming shut. I say no no we shouldn't do that, I wouldn't want you to get hurt. I say this is gently as possible, she was a toddler after all. The little girl nodded and started walking towards her mom, who definitely wasn't an entitled parent. It was the dad who came storming over.

I had just finished closing the chest lid and turned around when he's anxious from my face. He literally had me cornered between the side of the chest and the wall. Don't you dare tell my daughter what to do! You scared her! I didn't, by the way. She was perfectly fine until her dad started yelling, then she started to cry and hide behind her mom. Side note, this man was very tall, like six feet tall, and I'm not a tall person. So a tall man who has me trapped against the wall is very scary to me.

I say, but, sir, she could have gotten hurt. That's for me to tell her, not you, you are not her parent. By this point, the other families in the hallway were watching and I was close to crying. Not that it's hard to make me cry. Then the girl's mom says, honey, leave him alone, let's just go to our room. The entitled dad says to me, mind your own damn business and leave the parenting to the actual parents. We will tell her what she can and can't do. At this point, I'm terrified and trembling and trying to keep from crying.

I'm sorry. He stormed off down the hall and I was left there shaking and trying not to cry. I could see other families gathering near the entrance of the hallway watching, trying to put on a brave face as I started walking their way so I could head downstairs to the gift shop. The families near the entrance were super nice, telling me that I was just doing my job and that he was being a jerk. I think them all put on fake smiles, but I went downstairs and ended up crying in the back room and telling one of my managers found me and made me sit down to tell him what happened.

It was not a good day. They ended up sending me home a bit early, and I was just glad I wasn't working the next day. I did not want to run into that guy again. Entitled parents like this are so obnoxious, it's like, dude, if you actually did your job of parenting, then maybe other people wouldn't have to do it for you. Our next reddit post is from Roken. Oh boy, I finally get a chance to show off my parents entitlement. This one was so fun to find out about. A. Oh boy, I finally get a chance to show off my parents' entitlement. This one was so fun to find out about.

A little necessary background. I'm currently no contact with my parents and siblings and I have been for over a year. I'm okay with my extended family and I spend a lot of time with them. I currently live with my boyfriend, which my entire family is aware of, but doesn't know much about. We're also desi, andian, and my boyfriend is white. For Christmas, I visited my aunt and cousins to drop off presents. It was a socially just an exchange, but I stayed a while to chat about things.

Whenever I see my aunt, she tends to give me important updates about my parents and immediate family. For example, I knew that my mom broke her arm and that my brother and his wife moved closer to home, things like that. So my aunt had a little tidbit she wanted to share with me before I headed out. So, your mom has to propose for you. Apparently, a family friend had reached out to my mother, not knowing about her no-contact situation, and thought that her son would have been a perfect match for me.

I literally know nothing about this guy, but my mother apparently rushed ahead agreeing with this friend. She sent my photo and information, and that friend loved me apparently. My mother then called my aunt, sent her the guy's photo and information, and cried, saying that she didn't know how to get in contact with me to share the good news. And would she reach out to me to show me the photo? My mother kept stressing that he's a good boy from a good family, and how our families are close, and how it would be a great match. Also, he lives in Chicago so I could be under my sister's nose while married and oh, wouldn't that be

so wonderful?" My aunt responded with, okay, yeah, sure, mm-hmm. And just didn't really get my mother in opinion. While speaking to my aunt about this, I was incredulous. She's all for many my relationship with my family, but understands and respects my space. My aunt is well aware that my boyfriend and I lived together, so she took what my mother said with a grain of salt, but oh my god. I'm just appalled by my mother in what she thinks is okay to say about me to other people.
