r/Entitledparents She Called My Disabled Baby A Freak, So I Called The Cops! 

Op: *Feeding Her Baby* EP: _”IS THAT DRUGS!”_

I once had a Karen call the cops on me for “stealing” her precious angels “toy”. His “toy” was a brick he was trying to smash my head in with. Karen ended up kicking up such a fuss that the cops had to take her away.

You don't....I repeat...you don't.....pick a fight with a cleft parent! Cleft parents work their butts off to make sure that their kids are fed, so they are not only fed, so they can grow strong, but also, so they are healthy for needed surgery! I have cleft lip and palate. I immediately started to drop weight after birth. I needed special bottles. Breast milk was preferred over formula to avoid irritation of the eustachian tubes and reduce the frequency of already chronic ear infections! So, every ounce of milk needed to be pumped and stored. Cleft parents work their asses off, and their children are deserving of love and respect!

wow. I once had a fever of 104 when I was about 13. I was hallucinating because around that temp your brain starts frying. How could that mother not be worried when her kid had a fever that high?!?! god. I really hope that kid is doing okay.

You know that parent with the kid that had a fever of 103° was the kind that if the kid didn't survive, she'd be screaming and wailing at the funeral trying to garner as much sympathy and attention as possible.

The nerve of some people to just think they can reach out and touch someone else's baby like they are entitled just because.. That burns me up!! Don't put your nasty hands on my baby!

As a diabetic myself, that first story (minus Karen) really made me happy. Going low is the worst and I can guess how relieved the person who was going low felt.

As a person that was born with a bilateral cleft lip and cleft palate, that story really disturbs me. And I feel for kid that will have to deal with multiple corrective surgeries in the future. People that spout that insulting rhetoric should be blasted on social media so we all know who they are and put them on blast for their behavior.

“Back when Corona was just a beer” I love that line.

Karen: calls baby a freak Dolores Umbridge: filthy half-breed Same energy

I work at a preschool, and I once had a mom send her kid to school KNOWING that he had an ear infection and then refusing to answer the phone when he obviously felt like garbage. Because he didn’t actually have a fever we had to keep him at school until the end of the day and then when she finally came to pick him up and we told her how miserable he was all day she had the audacity to be like “aww my poor baby :(“. Never have I wanted to chew out a parent so bad.

The story about the Karen and the baby with a facial deformation almost made me crush my mouse out of rage. As a person with the same deformation, I can say that my Dad would have never stood for that kind of behavior if I was that kid. And I also feel sorry for the kid because of the many surgeries that will be coming in a few years.

"It's not a threat it's a promise" GOD TIER

Seriously, in this day and age, why are people so damn ableist

"Why are you giving him stuff when you don't know him?" Because I have a soul and heart, that's why

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't really "catch " vitiligo Wich means that the bfs mom had it all this time but didn't notice

The EM that made fun of op’s skin condition might’ve had it the whole time and was hiding it. Then she treated op the way she felt about herself.

Karen: "Why do you care if you didn't know him?" Apparently the words "kind" and "courtesy" doesn't exist in Karen's dictionary.

When my Mom got back from the hospital after giving birth to me, an EM appeared. Apparently, she was a nurse who had just gotten back from the hospital. She DEMANDED to hold me. My Mom asked her if she had washed her hands, and she got offended and, according to Mom, scoffed and said “No” with the most attitude possible. My mom refused, and the EM tried to grab me out of her arms. My Dad got in her face, while my Aunt took my Mom and older Brother inside. I’m glad I was too young to remember that, it would have REALLY scared me.

As someone who grew up with a diabetic relative, that first one really wound me up. It's not okay to share your snacks with a complete stranger, but it's fine to share them with some other complete stranger so she can give them to their kid? Kindness is clearly not in Karen's dictionary. And the third one could have been avoided entirely if, you know, Karen had minded her own business? But fat chance, right?

That demon mother who made her kid go to school with a fever is super irresponsible. She sounds like she would dump her kid on a stranger on the kid’s days off from school and not take responsibility if something happened to the kid.

"Your baby looks disfigured!" "Say that again and you'll look 10 times worse when you come out the other side of the woodchipper!"

"...where and entitled mother makes fun of a disabled child." Ah, so Tuesday then.

When a Karen showed up literally everyone: "RUN, SATAN HAS CAME DOWN TO EARTH"

As someone who has experienced childhood neglect, that Nice Kid story made me sooooo mad. Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

I guess today’s theme is Karen’s against people with medical conditions. If u have any of these just remember you guys are good people and nothing about u should crumble ur self esteem and be positive and all these entitled parents are a bunch of losers who have nothing better to do. Keep being you

The story about the mother thinking shes giving her kids drugs reminds me of my aunt and her husbands ex wife who is the most entitled person I know. So, about 6 or seven years ago, my aunt got pregnant. It was a huge suprise because she had been told she'd never have kids after her son. The pregnancy goes well but my aunt found out that *if* the little girl made it, she would have a list of problems (some sort of problem with her stomach, two club feet, cleft pallet, and some sort of mental condition that only two kids with it have lived past 12) and was encouraged to abort, but my aunt refused. "Even if she has all those problems, I still want to raise her." So, she goes through the whole pregnancy and they deliver her daughter (who she named Chelsea) but she was stillborn. She was the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. All the little flaws that she had just made her more perfect. Heres where the entitled ex comes in. She is the most disgusting person I habe ever met. Her and my uncle got divorced for many reasons but the main two I know of are she had a gambling problem and ran up thousands of dollars in debt vecause of it but kept it hidden from my uncle and just kept asking for a monthly allowance "for the girls" (they had 5 daughters together) that she would go and gambke away, and the second was that my uncle walked in on her exposing herself to strangers on the internet. She is a garbage human and extremely entitled. Well, my aunt plans a funeral food Chelsea and her step daughters show up and support her. Ex wife shows up to and y'all, I wanted to kill her. She started off by complaining about being there to mourn a baby who didn't even live, then about her daughters hugging my aunt, then about how small the baby casket was. But whats worse os that when she saw Chelsea, she loudly saud "What even is this thing? It looks like a deformed monster! Guess that's what hapoens when bag genes are involved. She probably would have been retarded if she lived." (Fir context, my cousin, my aunts son, is high functioning autistic). My aunt broke down. Her daughters told her she needed to shut up and she acted like it wasnt even that big of a deal. "What? You're all thinking it!" 🙄 Thats just one story of her entitlment, but its the worst shes ever been. My uncle started having to gibe the child support checks to his youngest daughter because his ex would just cash them and then go gamble the money away. Truly a trash teir human.

Ugh, that poor mother. If you ever read this, I am so sorry someone called your dedication and love for your daughter into question. You're doing good mama ❤️

I feel so bad for op who has vitiligo. People with the condition honestly are beautiful and they should never feel ashamed. And such karma from the EM

God, I feel for that sick kid. My mother forced me to go on a camping trip with the Scouts, even though I was sick. Her reasoning was that I was faking it so I could play video games all weekend long (not entirely wrong, considering I had just gotten my own copy of "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker," but also because I would have had nothing else to do while sick as a dog). So, I tried to spend the entire weekend in my tent, trying to rest in my sleeping bag, only for older Scouts and Scoutmasters to bang on the nylon walls of the tent, telling me to get up and come out to do activities. One such activity was marching in a parade in a nearby town; even when healthy, I hated marching in those, but because I had fever chills at the time, it was even more miserable. That Sunday, after breakfast, I puked my guts out. When we got back from the trip, the Scoutmasters had told my mother what had happened, and needless to say, she was horrified and ashamed at what she had done. The next time I got sick on a camping trip with the Scouts, they called my parents (reluctantly, and only after they checked my temperature), who promptly came and picked me up. So yeah, my mother was a bit of an EM/Karen that time (and still kind of is every now and then), but unlike most Karens, she can at least recognize when she royally screwed up and feel guilty about it.

The entitled parent in the first story was so awful. What mentality do you have to have that you go up to other people and demand their snacks and keep insisting after you've been given a detailed explanation as to why it won't happen.

I’m pretty sure that when a young kid has a really high fever, brain damage is at risk. That one kid’s mom is really irresponsible and should learn a few things on how to be a better mother.

Em: IF YOU DONT KNOW HIM WHY DO YOU CARE? Op: Then if i dont know your daughter why should i care Sometimes you can just easily use Em's logic against her

Call child services on the sick kid's mom. That is literal child endangerment.

Hearing the story about the sick kid reminded me of some times that happened to me as a kid. To clarify, my mom is not an entitled person, she’s incredibly reasonable and nice…she just never picks my siblings and i early from school (to this day i still don’t know why she didn’t, mayor was something to do with my older siblings or just enforcing the importance of education but she always would joke that the ambulance would pick us up from school before she would). Just a bit of context i have a confusing medical history. Thankfully i love never had too serious health problems but it’s more that I’m just unlucky. As a child i was allergic (i reacted with bad hives and swelling) to basically everything from stuff like sand and grass to fruits and vegetables (all of them not just a few) and many more(I’ve since grown out of the allergies and my reaction is more of a compound reaction now that’s hard to explain, going into my weird medical history). I am also prone to get the weirdest sickness, always getting the rare and uncommon strands of stuff. The culmination of all of this is that we were expected to go to school, even if we were sick. The first time is more of a simple story where i just had some flu like symptoms, but very prolonged (instead of feeling fatigued for a day or two i felt fatigued for a week straight, and this way way way before COVID too). I had started feeling sick over the weekend and when Monday came i still had to go to my elementary school. When i got there, the exact same thing in the sick kid story happened to me, i was approach by my teacher who noticed i wasn’t feeling well, but for me i got sent to the nurse, who was a really nice lady who was familiar with me (because of my allergies and stuff). She did the normal procedure at our school which was basically like a doctor checkup, taking the weight, height, and then temperature. When she took my temperature (with a machine with a probe and a disposable plastic cover that could be used for ears and tongues), she looked baffled, took it again, still looking baffled, and then took i out a mercury tongue thermometer and had me use it. Then when she got that temperature she left and called my mom to pick me up, which i found out later was because i had a 106 F fever. My mom’s picked me up and i think i slept that entire day but i don’t remember. I don’t know what i got or if it was serious or something, but based on the trend of stuff i get it more than likely wasn’t contagious.The other time is my mom had to pick me up was more of a funny story. I was in Middle School and i had PE first period. Of my many allergies one of them is perfume and stuff, which if you are in any way familiar with middle school boys locker rooms then you probably already know what’s coming. This one kid thought it would be funny to spray an entire can of Axe in the locker room at the and of the period, and because the locker room at my school was a complete pressure chamber (they had to keep all the doors open because it would easily exceed 100 F if they didn’t due to there being no AC or vents or anything connecting to the locker)my allergies kicked in and my face started swelling. It didn’t happen immediately but as i was leaving the locker room to go to second period i could feel my face swelling (mainly my eyes feeling heavy and my lip. I got to second period and asked my teacher to go to the office to call my mom, since i felt my lip swelling more. She asked why and then looked up from her computer and then said go before i even said anything (i never saw how bad it got at my school but apparently it was bad). I get to the office and call my mom and she said that i would be fine and just to ask if the nurse had any allergy medication. I hung up and asked the nurse who didn’t, and then just went back to class. I get to class, which had been going on for probably 10 minutes or so and sit down and try to finish the bell work. The teacher got up from her desk (which was right behind mine) and passed me to get to the board. Before she got there she asked if i was ok and when she saw my face she sent me to the nurse and this time called the nurse from the phone in the classroom. I still didn’t know how bad my face had swollen i just know that my upper lip was puffy. Idk what my teacher said on the phone but when i got to the nurse he had me take something (presumably allergy medication) and then call my mom again to pick me up. She again said that i was fine and to just ask for some allergy medication, and when i hung up and told the nurse what she said he called her told her that she needed to pick me up. She came and picked me up and when she saw me she immediately took me to my doctor’s office (which was literally down the street from my school). My doctor put me on some serious allergy medication (2 1/2 Zyrtec with Heart Burn medication to act like a steroid and some other stuff). And said i needed to get some Epi Pens if that ever happened again. Thankfully, allergies are more on the harmless side and my throat and tongue don’t swell, but my doctor said that it was important i had the pens in case they did swell and i couldn’t breathe. To this day we still get a good laugh at the story and my mom still has pictures of my face getting swollen, and specifically how my lips looked like someone put way too much Botox in my lips (i could barely open my mouth with how big my lips were) anyways i just remembered those stories and figured it would give someone a good laugh (or heart attack)

That guy with his daughter is me with my dog Also, I am going to adopt a disabled dog if I can, so that I can defend it

I demand you give my daughter your snacks, rslash, she DESERVES it because she is an angel!

I had a taekwon-do instructor that had vitiligo. One of the nicest men I’ve ever met. He was so awesome. He had white spots on his arms and his hair

I have hypoglycemia, and I sometimes struggle to keep my blood sugar levels even. I always try keep hard candy with me just in case my blood sugar drops suddenly

I have a friend who was also a miracle survivor baby and still has a cleft lip and proportionate dwarfism. She still manages to be kind, cool, smart and self-sufficient. That proves that entitled woman has no business calling anyone "r*****" just because a baby girl has some physical differences that are probably painful.

You know, I love how Rslash has been showing little by little his bias; especially when it’s about a child because he’s a father now. Keep it up man!

OP: /has vilitigo/ Bigots: Ew what a freak. Me: Neat! Calico people.

I am a disabled person and I can’t believe somebody would say that that makes me mad I am glad somebody got kicked out the shopping center

I could hear the new daddy emotion in your voice when you said " are you trying to get in a fight? Because that's how you get in a fight" 😂 love it

Props to op for converting the temperature on her post. When I heard 102°F I instinctively reached for my phone to google the conversion, and put it down as soon as that was included in the post. That was the greatest feeling in the world

There is no reason to make fun of someone for something they can’t control or change. The goes to skin conditions, mental conditions, or anything else that can’t be changed. And it is pure cosmic justice that someone who mocks the condition, gets the condition

My daughter was born a few weeks early & with a cleft palate. So this type of absolutely disrespectful ignorance always brings my blood to a boil!! 😵

Imagine calling the cops because someone called you a freak

"when Corona was just a beer" I love OP for that

Whoever sees this have a amazing day

As a childminder, I have my own share of tales of parents refusing to pick up their sick kids, here's one of them... We had a little boy who was very moany and ended up getting sick on the floor. My boss called the father since she couldn't get through to the mother: Boss: "Hi there, this is boss, I'm afraid your son has just been sick and someone needs to collect him". Entitled father: "WELL, I CAN'T FLY! IF YOU LET ME GET OFF THE PHONE, I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO!" Boss: "Please do not talk to me that way, I am old enough to be your mother." Entitled father: "WHO PAYS YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW TO DO YOUR JOB!" Boss: "Yes, do you?" Mother did end up coming in the end and once she picked up her child, he threw up all over her chest, all down her top. Despite my boss being very offended her the father's behaviour, she did give the mother and spare top and made sure they got to the bus stop safely. Never got an apology from the dad.

How do people not know that syringes like that are generally for medical purposes? Like how can people not know that?

My dad had vitiligo (just like Michael Jackson) nearly all over his body, about 65% of it. Despite that, and it never really was a big deal as he got to meet all of the grandkids first as they were born as a warm up, he was still the most strapping man I've ever seen even though he was far from perfect as a dad. Miss him dearly, been eight years.

“ back when corona was just a beer” oh my god I’m using that

I really hope the parent of the kid with the fever went to jail for that. I’d be breaking traffic laws to try and pick my baby up if she had a fever but this woman’s “lunch date” was more important?! Foh

Your Karen voice is so spot on. I actually had an encounter with a Karen that sounded kind of like that.

That dad used my line "it's not a threat it's a promise"

Karen: Stop being lazy. Get up off that fancy bed. My angel is tired......are you ignoring me! My child deserves to have a nap more then some lazy old fart......get up right now. I will not be ignored! (people at funeral look with confusion and disbelief as this random woman is screaming at the dead person)

As a parent, and SO to a kindergarten teacher, I can tell that such parents are way too common. I drop everything and pick my kids up, like one time I was 2 hours away from the school, on the highway. Took the first exit and went back, probably over the speedlimit. Worst thing is that other parents complain about substitutes when ordinary teachers get sick all the time, because parents leave obviously sick kids. And here the teachers aren’t allowed to say no when they’re dropped off, even if the kids are obviously sick...

I feel for the woman with the skin condition. I have psoriatic arthritis and the psoriasis part causes red itchy flaky patches of skin all over my body, but especially on my hands, legs, elbows, and scalp. I'll often have kids come up to me and ask me if I have a boo boo, which I'm nice about and explain that yes, it's a boo boo because they're too young to understand what an autoimmune disease is. For every 5 kids that come up to me, I'll always get that one parent that yells at the kid to "get away from her because: a) she's contagious (spoiler, it's autoimmune so it's not contagious) b) she's a burn victim c) my flakes and patches will somehow get on the kid and infect them (spoiler #2, since I have to take a biological injection that weakens my immune system, that kid is way more dangerous to me than I will ever be to him/her)" People can be such a-holes. I'm actually glad the mother ended up with vitiligo as well. I never thought I would wish an ailment on someone else, but talk about karmic justice!

6:31 I feel OP’s pain with that word. The r-word is a slur. Nothing more.

I think God was so mad at this Karen, he gave her the same skin conditions just to make her mad.

When the mom started talking about her daughter's feeding tube, I assumed the entitled person in the story was going to ask to try to feed the baby. What actually happened is infinitely worse than that, but I assumed that was the direction this was going because that happened to me TWICE when my oldest was a baby and used a feeding tube.

OP: feeds her baby EM: And I took that personally

Karen: "People like you shouldn't be allowed outside" *proceeds to get banned from shopping centre* Karen: *surprised Pikachu face*

rSlash: "According to the other teacher, this is how the conversation went down." RU-vid: *Tractor Supply commercial* Me: Pretty sure the conversation didn't go down like that.

The vitiligo story sounds like when God punished Miriam with leprosy because she spoke out against Moses marrying a Cushite woman. Lol, love it when history repeats itself. That entitled mother is lucky she’s didn’t get worse.

As someone who was born with a disfigurement (hemangioma), I can more or less empathize with the mom and her disfigured baby. I had to get laser treatment on my face, which kinda looked like someone had put out cigarettes on my face, and my parents would have to put a special cream on the burns. It was usually white moms who would ask, quite rudely, what was wrong with me and accuse my parents of hurting me while women of color would be more compassionate and say stuff like “oh bless her heart, I’ll be praying for a quick recovery!” Fun times

" I AM KAREN, AND I HAVE A DREAM TO CALL A DISABLED BABY, A FREAK!! " KAREN -

As someone who is physically different because of a genetic mutation that I had no control over and was born with, I sympathise with the story of the little baby that was being fed with a feeding tube. I am in my late twenties and I still have people to this day and even this year either recoil so they don't accidentally touch my physical deformity, or tell me that I should be fixed before I should be allowed out in public. I am lucky that all I have to do is wear a long sleeve shirt to keep people from seeing things. There are good people in this world, but there are some really nasty, hateful, and challenging people still around too.

Time to report that "mother" to CPS. Call the mother, and leave a message. "Get back here NOW, or I WILL call the police to take your child away and then they will arrest you for child abuse and neglect, as well as 27 counts of child endangerment, for your purposely bringing your contagious child to school, to infect all of his classmates." Wait exactly five minutes, and if she does not respond with, "I'm on my way! Please don't call the cops!" you call the cops.

Calling a Karen like that an "unfit mother" is not only the worst insult a woman like her can imagine, it's also the truest.

I used to work at a daycare. Wtf is wrong with these parents thinking it's OK to still send their child/children to school or daycare when they are sick!?! Then on top of everything with a temperature over 100°! It's dangerous for a kid to have a temperature over 100°. They can have a seizure. That's how the other children and some times staff gets sick!

I remember in the third grade(so around 8-9 years old) I was feeling extremely sick. My dad and grandma took my temperature(with this old, dysfunctional thermometer) and because it came back barely above average, they sent me to school. Within ten minutes of stepping into the classroom, I got rushed to the office because I “look sick and [my] forehead is hot”. They took my temperature(about 101-102 degrees F) and called my parents. When my grandma came to pick me up, I looked up at her with my tired, sick eyes and quietly said, “I told you I was sick.”

First Story: EP: Do you know him!? OP: No, but as a Diabetic, I know how Deadly low Blood Sugar can be. EP: You Don't know him!? Then why are you giving him your Snacks!? Me: it's called being an Honorable, Civil, Caring Human Being...

story 3- I'm a disabled young adult and have a feeding tube. I have experienced a lot of very ableist things when going out in public, as I run feeds 24/7. when you have a feeding tube, you basically have syringes for flushing, meds, and sometimes bolus feeds on you all the time. also its weird the mom seemed actually reasonable at first, how she explained it to her child.

As someone (myself and my friend actually) who grew up “ needing to eat in a different way” the entitled parent who was upsetting. If someone were to say anything like that to my friend I’d probably go into automatic attack mood.

Entitled Parent: *is an absolute ass to parents with infants in public* Papa rSlash: So yeah, then I verbally eviscerated them

as a security guard, had i known about woman and her child being harrassed for anything like that Id have called that person human filth in front of them because proffesionalism be damned at that point

I have food allergies and my wife's sister said she would make food but then ensured that i would have nothing to eat. My wife blew up at them especially since we offered to make something i could eat and bring it and she said that wouldn't be necessary. My father in law and brother in law treated us especially badly. So i prayed that they would develop food allergies themselves, and they did. Dad became allergic to cottonseed oil and brother to peanuts. Now everyone has to be careful about allergies every single day. Thanks for the lesson in empathy, God.

I always looked forward to listening to these during the school mornings and today I'm graduating! Can't wait to keep listening while at college :)

Classic EP logic, if you give the EP your stuff, it's you being nice, but if you help out someone else who actually needs the help, that's you being rude to the EP.

Me: Imagine a Karen thinking feeding baby’s is drugs! Friend: rslash posted a new video Video: *Karen thinks feeding a baby is drugs* Me: Imagine- Friend: NO

The story about the sick kid really hit me in a bad memory. Back when I was in middle school I used to have to collect food assistance from my school every Thursday because groceries were just a bit too expensive for an eight-person family. At least 20 times that I can remember I had to strap both bags, loaded to the brim with canned food, to each side of my backpack and walk the whole mile and a half home whether it was freezing, raining or 90° in the sun. What was the direly important business they left me behind for? They were taking a ******ing nap because they decided to stay up every night watching a rerun marathon of two and a half men!

I didn't know that RSLASH was a father, Congratulations man

As the mom of the disabled child, aka sea hat. Thank you. I use my miracle babys story to help promote how disability is viewed. Listening to one of your videos reminded me of that and needed to share. I have a million stories of how people called weird and ugly. My baby to this day is my hero even though I only got 2 years with her

every time i hear this stories i just wanna tell these people "you're not entitled to other peoples belongings" over and over again

How dare she call a BABY "disgusting"????? And the kid with the fever, sheesh, that's horrible. I remember whenever I had a fever my mom used to cry a lot. I had convulsions before 5 years of age. I know a model who has vitiligo. She's beautiful af

Karen: Mocks person with vitiligous Also Karen: Gets vitiligous *You became the very thing you swore to destroy*

Reddit: Story rSlash: As a new father

When my daughter was a month old, I was with my mom at a hair appointment, and a lady tried to take her out of my arms. I screamed at her no, and that you just don't do that. She snobbily said I have post-partum depression. Which has nothing to do with taking a baby out of someone's arms. I was pissed.

I work in a daycare facility and we had a child with a high temperature. My manager at the time took the call to the parents. The mum said she could come get him because she was in the middle of work and she will get him when she was done at the end of the day. My manager say that she could in that case call CPS to deal with the situation. The mother then said she was on her way and hung up. Daycares aren’t a place for sick children. They don’t wanna be there when they are sick. High fevers can also be dangerous in young children, as they can cause the child to have a seizure regardless of whether they already suffer from them or not.

I had a low blood pressure at school, it took them 15 minutes or more to get to get to me. The support that came looked at me like I wanted attention or was faking. They packed that up when I stood up and was white and struggling to stand. I walked to the office since there was no nurse and threw up. I get sick from my blood pressure sometimes and I was annoyed it took them so long and those expressions.

my dad has vitiligo and he was ashamed of it for years! his boss was treating him so bad for years because of it...his boss lost his job and now my dad is a higher boss and a politician so suck on that!

When I was 11yo, I was sick at school, didn't make it to lunch time before going to the nurse's office. My dad, who was supposed to be at a job interview, came to pick me up. Definitely a better parent than some here.

I am a Hardware Tech for a School District and also one of the few people with the District that can fix copiers, I was at a Middle school fixing a copier in the main office during the beginning of the pandemic. I overheard the office staff saying that parents are still sending their sick kids to school because of the reason of 'they don't have anyone to watch them.' And during that time this school had a quarantine room to keep them spaced out from the ones that were healthy...they were running out of room to fit these sick kids in that room because the parents were being entitled just to pick them up.

I'm selling enchanted weapons to use against Karens! I've got electric daggers, snake venom whips, nightmare guns, airbending staffs, Zuko's swords (aren't magical, just cool), shadow arrows, and masks to annoy anti-maskers!

Some people have NO CLUE what an air piston is. It's NOT a drug syringe. There are kitchen measuring cups for sticky liquids like honey that are essentially an air piston with the conical end that narrows to a small opening cut off. You pull the base down to the level you want to measure, then fill the open end with the liquid. To add it to the dish you're cooking, you push the plunger in, and the piston basically squeegees the sticky liquid into your bowl. This keeps the measurement accurate, because the sticky stuff doesn't leave a lot stuck on the sides of the measuring cup. Unless you see a medical-use sharp hypodermic needle attached or set out next to it, the syringe is not for injecting things, just for measuring them and dispensing them completely. The neurosis that some people have that makes them see anything with a syringe as a drug addict's paraphernalia is WHY chemistry teachers started calling them "air pistons" in the 70's. There are also air pistons with a special nozzle you can attach a non-hypodermic needle applicator to. It's for pinpoint dispensing of stuff like glue, lubricants, solder flux or paste, and other such fluids or suspensions. I use them for putting tiny drops of solder paste, with solder powder and flux mixed together. It's sticky, so when you use tweezers to place the very tiny surface-mount electronic components onto the board, the paste holds it in place. Then you heat the board, either with a reflow oven or plate, or with a hot air pencil that blows air hot enough to melt solder. The paste melts and the part is permanently and electrically affixed. The needles for such air pistons are BLUNT ended, and are of a steel that is very hard to sharpen, so you can't make them into hypodermics.

as a person who has cleft lip and pallete also, its extremely rude of that grandmother to call that baby a slur, especially the r word. and also people need to be more educated on how people feed their babies, i was fed in a very similar way with a extended bottle or something like that.

Oh, I have a story like this. I work as a rehabilitation trainer for 5 years now, for a long time we tried to implement courses for children - it's really hard between parents who are just not able to call in and the ones, who think their 7yo is able to organize themself enough to regulary come to a sport lesson (in time or at all). Mind you, these are all children who have some kind of medical condition that made their doctors say: "You need this badly. And we will encourage you by giving this to you for free!" Besides the usual parents who would drop their kids off just to have an hour for themselves, there was one incident: A child, around 8-9 yo usually would come by foot. This time she came with a scooter. And there is gravel on the way. I think, it's pretty obvious what happend: She sped up, fallen and had a really bad injury that bleed and bleed. We cleaned her up as good as possible and tried to call the mother, didn't reach her to the point where I needed to cancel my course in order to stay with the child. So I had to call all the other parents while trying to get her mother on the phone who finally picked up and said, she will come as fast as possible - but she was be in the supermarket rn. I took her to the word, while her daughter still was tearing up bc of the pain and the stress of seeing the blood still flow. The mother came about the usual pick up time(about an hour after I called her. She had finished her grocery shopping, bought the stuff home and put it away before picking her up. Being a big inconvienence for at least 6 other parents and me. I was glad, my boss still paid me the time..
