I'm not even a father but anytime I hear someone refer to a baby as "my baby" when they are not the parents, it immediately sends me into a rage. The audacity of that is unreal
I agree, but I have found one exception. I used to watch the kids at my church, and there was a 4-year-old boy who had an 8-month-old baby sister. They were in different rooms for childcare, and his mother would pick him up first, so when his mother came to pick up the baby, he came, too. If the baby was asleep, the mom would collect the diaper bag and things first while the proud big brother went from one daycare attendant holding a sleeping baby to the next saying, "is that my baby?" until he found her, then he would give her a kiss on the head. But when adults who aren't the baby's parents do it, it's gross.
@@Br0nto5aurus That is a super cute example of a totally ok exception that I absolutely agree with. I love seeing kids refer to siblings or cousins as "my baby." It's never not adorable.
If I were the parents of the baby, I would have called the cops myself and pressed charges for kidnapping and the Mother-in-law would have lost all rights to access the baby forever.
Right?! I can't believe they didn't call the cops. Personally it would have gone one of 2 ways: charges on her for kidnapping or charges on me for beating that ass or attempted murder.
@@Richard_Nickerson yeah it could of definitely made things worse for the grandfather. It’s also easier to just ignore the crappy mom rather than deal with court and lawyers. It isn’t worth if the baby is okay.
First story : MIL who think they deserve to be included in everything... Are the worst. At least the FIL finally learned how insane his wife was, so he can move on from her and be happier elsewhere.
Am…am i the only one a bit SHOCKED that OP’s husband didn’t press charges and IMMEDIATELY go NC with his mother after she KIDNAPPED HIS CHILD…? Like yeah they went low contact but…so? That clearly doesn’t mean much as they did that then immediately let her back in after she asked?
When the employee said "I'm not authorized to use the forklift" and the woman said "SERIOUSLY?!?!, the employee should have said "Yes, I'm super cereal".
God damn it, I KNEW there was gonna be someone to say it! XD Okay, though, in all seriousness, these entitled parents don't realize how serious something like that is. Put simply, if I use a forklift (which I've never done) and I break the scaffolding, there's potential for everything that it was supporting to come crashing down and kill me. Something to that effect has actually happened once in the store I work at many years ago well before I was hired there. Retail can be a very dangerous job for a variety of reasons, and that's definitely one of them. O.o Meanwhile, I know the irritation of having a customer come in and demolish stock. There's this one customer who comes in to our store every so often (it's like every week at least) and takes two carts overflowing with cases of 12-packs of canned soda and 8-12 packs of Gatorade/Powerade. Before, management would tell him that we can't complete the sale because there's a limit, but now they've just stopped caring. The reason he comes in and does this, from my understanding, is because he either owns or works for a convenience store some ways up the road and restocks his supply by taking from other stores. I don't know if this is technically against the law, but it is VERY annoying, since it just begs the question of why they can't just pay for a delivery service or if they simply don't want to? I dunno, I'm no expert in that field. >.> All in all, really it's just irritating because a customer's gonna wonder why the shelves don't have stock of that one item because this one dude just came in and took 'em all for his business. Funnily enough, a person hired by Hyvee actually came in to our store once and demolished our ketchup stock to replenish their stock. It was hilariously unsubtle even: they came in a Hyvee van. Two carts full of ketchup because...I dunno, actually. XD
@@bluestreaker9242 let's say, it cost you 4 bucks per item (shipping included), and you sell at 8 bucks. When it's near expire date, you get it down to 6 bucks to recover your investment, then idiot comes and cleans your stock, hopping to sell everything at 7 bucks fast. I already had many experiences of some shops selling expired items at 6 bucks, because they couldn't sell it fast enough.
The first story. The MIL is in her own universe. There is 20 kinds of crazy going on with her. The moment she started with the "my baby" stuff, especially after her reaction to not being told first, shouldn't raise every alarm and I mean everyone. Fire alarms, egg timers, alarm clocks and bomb raid klaxons. Arguing with doctors, throwing away medication and demanding to do things her way... this is stupid for a lot of reasons, but the biggest is medical science evolves fast. It commonly said that within 5 years of when a medical student graduates, half of what they were taught is considered wrong. Sometimes, students have to relearn something they learn in their first or second years just to get up to new standard practice. Even, simple stuff, like how much coffee or spicy food an expecting mother should have is wildly variable. When my mother was pregnant with me no body gave a monkey's how much caffeine you had but the spicest food a woman could have was bread sauce (yeah, it's as bland as it sounds, it's a standard white sauce [a roux] with breadcrumbs mixed into it, it liquid white bread). Now spicy food isn't recommended for the last trimester and you shouldn't drink more than 12 fl oz of plain coffee a day (about 1 mug). But she kidnapped OP's baby, that isn't just crazy, that's a crime. How she avoided prison is beyond me.
As an ex-Walmart worker, I'm almost sure that she is reselling it. We had some people that would use sellers and coupons to buy super cheap take a ton of our bags and then resell the stuff.
@@silverflight01 or just entitled criminals who wanted to make sure they could have what they wanted to make sure that they could have what they wanted regardless of the others wishes
Imagine nuking your relationship with your relatives (and getting divorced) because you decided to go the Insane route after getting the idea that your son's wife cheated.
I just know that if my mom ever does *any* of what that Baby-Napping Bloody-Mary Banshee (BNBMB) did in that story... well, she'd be cut out of my life far, far faster than she did with her side of the family (long story there).
Not blaming the parents here at all, but I saw the kidnapping coming in this story. MIL was obsessed with and very possessive of their baby, trying to control everything surrounding the baby as well. It was only a matter of time before she tried something like that. It sucks when you can’t trust your own family around your child
I'm not sure if Rslash understands that he's sabotaging any entitled in-laws seeking paternity tests, but I find it hilarious either way. I'm just imagining some karen geting no results from a 23-and-me for the baby, because she got a q-tip wet with baby saliva instead of swabing the baby's cheek like the instructions would tell her.
@@MyHandleIsGood I genuinely thought about that, but I figured that the E-IL probably wouldn't read this if they couldn't be botheted to read the actual instructions on the box.
@@jamesihrke5229 Entitled people can't read instructions and Karens can't get the sentence *"I DO NOT WORK HERE!"* in their head, that sentence just goes in one ear and out the other because their peanut sized brain can't process that much information. All the brain of a Karen contains is *"I want to speak to your manager!"*, *"Don't talk back to me, it's very rude!"*, *"Get your brat away from my angel!"*, *"-insert racial, sexist, homophobic and transphobic remarks-"*, *"Don't touch my child you pervert! I'm calling the cops on you!"*, *"-insert insult about women dressing lightly-"*, *"WE'RE IN AMERICA, SPEAK ENGLISH, NOT JAPANESE!", said to a CHINESE person*, *"Vaccines causes autism!"* - I don't believe that one, tho, the more logical thought is that vaccines can TRIGGER a child's autism if the child haven't been diagnosed with it yet, but Idk if that's true or not, but regardless, that sounds far more logical and believable than plain Karen logic
@@Samantha.K.S.Simpson Vaccines don't even TRIGGER autism as they have NOTHING to do with how a brain functions. I had this argument with some anti-vaxxer before who tried saying that autism is a thing that cannot develop before the child is 6 months. That's not true. Autism is something a kid is BORN with. Sometimes it's low expression when the kid is born and gets worse over time. I was the opposite. I was born with a high level of expression to my autism and I improved over time (or rather, my brain matured and how my autism is expressed changed). I was bad enough as a baby/small child that when I was born, the doctors and nurses thought I was a drug baby and took me for testing (I was clean, Mom was clean. She didn't even SMOKE when she was pregnant for fear of hurting me. Quit cold turkey for me). Then, when I was about three, mom had child protective services called on us by the neighbours because I was always screaming and covered in bruises. The agents came and got first hand experience with, well... me as a small child. Right in front of them, I tried to pull the TV down on top of myself (which would have squashed me, because while it was a small TV, it was an old tube TV and those things are heavy AF. This was late 80s or 1990 at the latest). Mom had to grab me and restrain me because not only would I have continued trying to pull the TV down (I was fixated on it), but I DID NOT like being touched (born with that. Mom couldn't even breast feed me because being held made me MAD and I wouldn't eat. It's way different now. lol) and started screeching and trying to ram my head into her chin. ...autistic children are fun, yo. But yeah. Autistic right from birth. All autistic children are, but autism is something that expresses different in each child, and how they express as they grow and mature changes as well.
@@RenAsterion i think the reason a lot of people make the connection between vaccines and autism is because of an ingredient that used to appear in all vaccines but no longer does. Thimerasol mercury. See its common knowledge that pure mercury causes neurological damage. Its where we get the term mad as a hatter because hatters used to rub mercury bare handed into the felt of their hats and the heavy exposure to mercury would cause brain damage. So i think when people heard the name thimerosol mercury they assumed it was a diluted yet still dangerous form of mercury which isnt the case at all. Its like table salt. You could call table salt sodium chloride. Sodium on its own is extremely dangerous as is chloride or chlorine but you put them together and you get perfectly safe table salt. People dont understand that with the right mixture you can make dangerous chemicals completely safe
That MIL is a total psycho. I feel so bad for her son and his wife. Sometimes I forget just how crazy some people can be and then I hear stories like this and my innocence is destroyed.
Legit question; how is the first story not an insane parent or raised by narcissist? Like, good Lord is she actual garbage that was thankfully thrown out by get family, but still. There's being entitled and then there's her
Instructions unclear, it smells like brownies but there's a portal in my kitchen to the 3th layer of hell now and I am afraid of the gluttonous gremlins that seem to be able to consume enything. They ate the whole fridge, and i dont only mean the contents of it but the whole fridge it self. Also I am now hiring a full time doom guy to exterminate this infestation, payment up front no questions asked, just help me goddammit. Oh and there's this demon guy who claims to be shaöbägoth the desolator and hes guarding the portal, letting everything g crawl out of it but told me to "slitter away foolish mortal", FYI the dude looks angry.
Story 1 well, MIL showed you exactly who she was, but OP sister’s husband is a mama boy who couldn’t/wouldn’t stop it in the bud. It is ridiculous that she was let back in their lives again after all she said . So what do you expect, the only one with any sense is the father in law. Geez, when someone shows you who they are believe them.
I feel like husband and wife were in agreement that maybe she stopped and was just on the whole paternity thing like it was a phase and give it time she will stop and it will be fine, it was 5 months and people are tend to give others especially loved ones a chance. I don’t blame the husband nor his wife for giving the mil a chance again. At least they know the level of crazy she is fully now and will keep that child away from her
@@rontheauraknight9606 the husband isn't to blame here. He stood his ground when he needed to, never excused his mom's behavior, and was always in tandem with his wife.
@@sersastark I know I’m disagreeing with the comment here where he’s calling him a mommy’s boy I’m sorry but a mommy’s boy is like “I’m sorry my mom is insane, but you need to learn to live with it!, now go do that damn paternity test so she doesn’t think your a cheating whore, I don’t think your a cheating whore but my mom does now please keep her happy”
Yeah but there is such thing as second chances and OPs Brother in law has been raised by her his whole childhood so why would you ditch one of your parents/guardians after one incident. She could have changed it isn’t ridiculous that they just wanted a happy family. How would you feel if you had a child who you raised for many years and then they ditched you and cut contact because you overreacted once. I’m not justifying her actions but they were not being ridiculous when they let her back in
Among the different entitled MIL stories, OP’s husband is one of the better ones. He took his wife’s side immediately and kept the stance DESPITE having been especially close to his mother.
As a teacher (now happily retired) I’ve met more than my share of entitled parents. My favorite - the one whose child hit a substitute teacher in the back of the head with a baseball-size wad of paper. When told he was being given in-school detention she said, I kid you not, “I want to know what she did to make him do that!”
@@UndeadMonstrez Good point. I mean, what is anyone doing with that amount of cereal in general, but no mention of excessive milk purchases definitely confuses the situation even more.
@@Richard_Nickerson why are you under so many comments making remarks about spelling and grammar, go grade a paper or something. Seriously, find a better way to spent your time.
Nah, you underestimated my brother and his household. He has four kids (three of them are adults now) and that household will destroy that pallet since it is a year worth.
I was literally addicted to cereal as a teenager. Back when I could eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted, however much I wanted and not gain an ounce, I'd eat an entire box of cereal in one sitting and want more.
if you need more look up XO! they do the same thing in a Brittish accent. they only read comments tho, don't give their own opinions and they do like 2 vids a day sometimes
"Alright so we're checking out the only sub where a crazy woman tries kidnapping a baby, driving her own family to the point of insanity... it's r/entitledparents."
He THREATENED legal action? Heck, I would have told the police to press charges. What she did was beyond the pale. I don't know if I could ever forgive her for that.
Ok the problem with the first story is that no one can force their way into moving into your home without your permission and cannot force you to bring them to ultrasound appointments! That is when the couple should have gone no contact with the MIL when she attempted those stunts.
The cereal lady reminds me of a customer at my store. She and her daughter always have at least one cart each and they pile them as high as they can with soda and chocolate bars. She's definitely buying for a convenience store. She doesn't just annoy the cashier who has to scan her items, she often ends up saying that prices came up wrong, so customer service has to deal with her as well. One night, myself and two other colleagues had to help pack up all of her chocolate bars because they were all coming up the wrong price, and I had to fix everything at customer service. Our store closes at 11pm, she went through the cashier at around 10:45. The cash office guy that night couldn't get to customer service to close the till before she got there because he was stuck in the till beside her and couldn't get out because she refused to move for him. I was there with the cash office guy waiting to close the till until almost 11:20 trying to fix all of the wrong prices on her approximately $300 of chocolate bars. Now, whoever is doing cash office will rush to close customer service when we see her coming through a till close to closing.
he did the right thing, poor guy got screwed by his wife and not sexually…thankfully he was good at heart and did the right thing thus got to be in his grandkid’s life
My father's mother somehow managed to get a paternity test done on me behind my mom's back, with the hopes that I was NOT her son's child. Lo, I am. She decided I wasn't a 'real' grandchild still. Haven't had contact for upwards of 20 years. People like this don't deserve children, let alone grandchildren.
My daughter has 2 children.. Her husband has 4 from the previous marriage. I have 6 grandchildren. As long as you are not trying take the position of their grandparent and only adding to the love that child receives what does it matter? You deserve better. She will regret this one day.
OP said the incident happened years ago (several, many, long time ago-something to that effect) so at that point a blood test was all that was available. There was no 23 and Me and such that could use the cheek swabs. Probably happened around the time that Maury Povich started the whole "You are the father/not the father" shows.
How is someone so obviously unhinged as in the first story just allowed to walk around the world unemcumbered? That woman had to have shown signs of insanity before this.
"Call the cops. She's obviously a cereal killer." I nearly sprayed Pepsi all over my monitor and desk. It took almost everything that I had just to swallow it.
I hate how many grandparents seem to think that it's all about them. It happens in so many stories, including ones where OP says they never showed such entitlement before. So glad my mom wasn't like that while my son's mother was pregnant and giving birth. My whole family understood that they were 2nd fiddle in that scenario. Even his mother's mom wasn't like that, and she knew the whole time that she'd be in the room with us and everything. So many grandparents calling grandkids their kids.
Joke being some 1st class travel on Intercity operators with complimentary food/drinks includes some alcoholic beverages (like beer) in the free drink selection.
BTP has entered the chat (I think this is in the UK because they say Standard Class, not Second Class) Alternatively, she can just be arrested by the ticket inspector for fare evasion and then dragged back into Standard Class. Normally on trains in the UK, there are multiple carriages, so if EP didn't like her seat, she could go to another standard class carriage. But I think her excuse for being in first class was just that: an excuse.
Jesus Christ, if someone tries forcing their way into your life and tries to control it, just ditch them immediately. Don’t give into their BS, don’t give into their manipulation, just don’t even listen to them. She was CRAZY and they needed to cut contact a lot sooner, especially when she tried trashing essential medications and tried controlling the pregnant woman’s every move. Just because you’re related to someone by blood or marriage doesn’t mean you owe them anything, she isn’t family, she isn’t giving her son and her daughter-in-law any love, support, help and advice, she’s trying to manipulate them, wear them down so they’ll do whatever she wants, she’s trying to control everything they do and say, and that’s just straight up toxic and they owe her no loyalty, because that’s not family, that’s abuse. I cut contact with my biological family years ago because they tried controlling me, my money, were homophobic, ableist, psychologically abused me, tried manipulating me, tried withholding essential medications that I need just to have a somewhat normalish life (mostly bedridden disabled with mobility issues because of nerve damage, and PTSD), and I put my foot down and said “nah, enough, get the f*ck out of my life and stay out”. They only tried contacting me after to send boat loads of abuse, because in their minds they were totally justified in trying to control me, manipulate me and abuse me. They didn’t deserve my love and loyalty, so I kicked them to the kerb and haven’t looked back, I’m a LOT more mentally healthy and stable. I hope the OP considers cutting all contact entirely because her MIL is not going to learn, people like that can never accept they’re wrong or that they’re at fault, and she’s all too happy to abuse them to get her own way, and is all too happy to endanger their child. F*ck her, cut all contact, do not have further contact, get a restraining order if you need to.
Heck, I got a new dog five months ago. The first thing I did was paid 140$ for a DNA test so I knew what health risks I could expect. I even tested my two senior girls a few years ago, and solved a medical mystery for one of them. Now I have a one year old puppy, who I know the breed of (Husky x APBT), the genetic testable health conditions carried (0 of 219 tested), and even the expected adult size (though this has been wrong in the past with one dog, it was spot on for this one and my chow chow mix). I can now know a basic guideline of what to expect for vet visits later on, as well as get breed-specific behavioral training tips and advice. I can also rule out some potential diagnosis should she ever develop signs of a medical condition, as her DNA test results show that she has 219 things she isn't genetically predisposed to. I highly advise ANYONE who wants to know what things they should look out for health-wise in their dog to try out EMBARK. I've saved thousands in vet bills for one of my senior dogs, and given her years more of good quality life and pain management thanks to a simple swab that showed she had a health condition called IVDD. When it came to my new puppy, I didn't hesitate. I ordered the test before she even got home. And that simple act will provide a great basis for training, medical, and behavioral checking in the future.
2:00 I'm sorry, WHY IS HER HUSBAND ALLOWING THIS? It's _his_ mother who's being a demon, why did he allow her to move in with him and OP's sister? At that point I would be making a beeline for the nearest divorce lawyer.
I, a grocery store cashier, have genuinely processed a transaction where a woman bought 50+ (single-non pallets) boxes of cereal, with another 500$ worth of groceries all bought with an 800$+ EBT/Food stamp card. Those people exist
In the first story, I was like, that stinks that she did not know early on. However, once the story continued, I am surprised she was including on anything at all. Edit: Also, that last story was the best. :)
Well as a mom who had several miscarriages between my first and second child we stopped telling people until after the 1st trimester was safe. But geez why do people get so pissy about not getting told first? As long as you know before they show up with the baby, I just don't get the need to be first. Insecurities maybe?
I had to listen to the first story twice because I simply couldn't take it all in in one reading. What the everlasting eff?? If someone like that threatened to cut off all contact with me, my reply would be "Promise?" I'll bet her soon-to-be-ex-husband is having to rethink everything she said about anyone all through their marriage.
I used to rent a room in a house from a lady who would hoard boxes of cocoa puffs. She said she'd get huge amounts whenever they were on sale, so there were boxes *everywhere* in that house. One of the kitchen cupboards was totally full, boxes were on top of the cupboards, on top of the fridge, in closets of bedrooms, on the shelf in her laundry room, and in unopened cases on the floor. Some of them had "best before" dates that were almost 5 years past! She'd occasionally offer me some, but I declined. Not that I don't like cocoa puffs, just that... ugh.
I can tell that the last story is from the UK just by knowledge of the trains! I have had a similar thing happen to me where this woman came on with her kids and sat in First next to my mother and me. We were on standard class tickets but got moved to first because the standard class disabled toilet had broken so it was easier to move my mother in her wheelchair up to the other end of the train so she could spin round and move the five feet instead of several hundred feet. The guard came up and asked to see her tickets and she - lo and behold - had standard class tickets and was asked to move. She refused and started trying to punch the guard at which point the man who was on our table got up and asked the woman to calm down who refused and then grabbed a knife from the dinner service - the guy simply reached into his jacket and pulled out one of Messers Heckler and Koch's finest and held her until the British Transport Police turned up at the next station and arrested her for assault and attempted assault with a deadly weapon. That man that had the gun...? He was an armed police officer on undercover work
I'm glad the husband stood up for his wife even tho he's a momma's boy. I am definitely a mommy's girl but if someone insulted or tried to control my s/o I would totally defend them. Luckily my mother is the most wonderful person and would never. Alot of people who are under their parents thumbs wouldn't stand up for their s/o like that
I've heard of EMIL trying to steal the attention away from a baby announcement but never heard of one actually taking a baby let alone to get a paternity at a hospital because she wants to prove her DIL is a hussey. There was something more than entitlement going on there. My guess would be some undiagnosed mental illness by everything she did.
I went to church with a couple that basically had a honeymoon baby and one of my best friends got married in July I believe (my sister and another acquaintance got married the same year but different dates so either my friend or the acquaintance got married in July) and got pregnant very quickly by choice. Some people don’t wait to start families and leave it up to God/fate when they get pregnant.
My daughter got pregnant on their honeymoon too. They were not trying but not being careful either lol. Almost exactly 9 months to the day of their wedding my granddaughter showed up lol. Shes 14 now with a 10 year old brother and 2 year old brother. The 2 year old is a handful lol. Got to love those surprise mom! Babies lol.
I'm 100% sure that cereal lady is re-selling it, because I don't think I've eaten 300 boxes of cereal in my nearly 37 years of being alive Let alone in under a month
I have 5 older sisters and a younger brother. 9 people in a house and we maybe went through 6 boxes in a week. But we are hot breakfast folks. Even if its just oatmeal. I'm the rare one who doesn't like cereal. Its even grosser with milk. But I know folks love it. Its just as fast for me to whip up a couple egg tacos or fried egg and toast as it is for others to do a couple bowls of cereal. But I was a cook for years and years.
ok seriously the cereal "Karen" wasnt as mean as i thought, like when the OP said "sorry i am not authorized to use that equipment" "karen" just said "ok, is their anyone else that can get it for me?"
You know, if she's getting that much cereal, why doesn't she get it from either a Sams/Costco or even from a DC somewhere? Seems like she could lower her cost significantly instead of paying retail. Especially if that's her hustle.
That last story reminded me of after my first term at university. I was going home for Christmas break and done the typical student thing of wearing all my clothes and not wasting my money washing them instead bringing it to do at home for free at my parents place. Anyway because of my dads job whilst I was in full time education I got free first class train travel. So I’m there in first class listening to my music dressed in tracksuits and looking like a massive slob and these old women dressed very nicely come in and glare at me. One taps me on the shoulder. ‘This is first class’ I respond with ‘yep’ ‘you need a first class ticket to sit here’ ‘I have one’ ‘no you don’t show me’ ‘I don’t need to’ ‘show me, people like you can’t afford first class’ ‘I can and I do’ the other has clearly scuttled off to get a guard and he comes and asks ‘sir these people say you don’t have a first class ticket do you mind if I see your ticket’ ‘not at all’ I pass my pass over. Guard looks at it and has a moment to think as my ticket is a rarity and even more rare for someone young to have it. ‘Looks like you have a first class ticket. Enjoy your journey.’ ‘Thank you now while your here can you check their tickets’ the old ladies go white as they hand them over. ‘Ladies these are standard class tickets I’m afraid you’re going to have to leave first class’ ‘but we always sit in first class’ ‘not today you don’t. Leave!’ They grabbed their stuff and grumbled as they left. I may or may not have flipped them the bird as they left.
MILs rights... "You have the right to remain silent... Anything you say can and will be held against you at will... You have the right to an attorney... If you cannot afford an attorney that's just to damn bad... If you can afford an attorney he will repeat you have no right to force yourself on a daughter in law at any time even when she is pregnant Do you understand these rights? No to damn bad you have no say in anything about my life in any way shape or form PERIOD."
“…the single best part about the story is that this woman kidnapped a baby…” - rSlash, 2021 In all seriousness, I’m glad FIL separated from MIL. That woman’s got issues
As a person who has taken a DNA ancestry test, I can confirm that this is absolutely a way to take the test and know who is your blood family. (blood doesnt always matter though, family is fam in my opinion.. I just wanted to know more about my roots) My husband and I got ours on Sale during a black friday deal online, so it was like, 2 for 1. After getting our results back, my father's side of the family showed up, at least those who took the test. My half sister even took the test and I never knew about it. I contacted her and was like "Yo! You showed up, I wanna see your percentages and how we differ!" Great for cross referencing what you got from your mom, and what you got from your dad.... if you have a half sibling. This also had the added benefit of confirming that I was my dads daughter. He never wanted it confirmed, he would rather just assume I was his. He knew my mom had cheated on him several times while they were together, but he is a sweet man, and his kids are his kids.. he would rather not have any proof to the contrary.. but my brother told me after I found several relatives on my dad's side in my bio, that I had to go over the results with him.. because he would love that.. it would put a three decade long question to rest.. My other brother wanted to do the same some time before, but my dad had asked him not to, citing "you are my son, thats all that matters." He didnt want to know otherwise which he feared would ruin their relationship.
Yeah this first story isn't filled with Building sized red flags... Oh god I worked Walmart and HATED customers like this. There's always someone who wants you to pop a pallet early (or try to do it themselves) or get something using a lift you aren't supposed to. If you want the store workers to absolutely hate you act like the Entitled woman in the second story..
I can understand why she would be upset about not being told at the same time as the maternal parents, that part was an unfair treatment. Everything else is just so nuts that I'm surprised she didn't get sent to prison.
In the first story, I can't get over the part where OP is like "BIL is a big softie and a mama's boy but he'll stand up for his wife." Are you sure? Are you really sure he'll stand up for his wife? If that's the case then how the heck did it escalate to the MIL moving in with them in the first place? Sounds like boundaries needed to be set far sooner. MIL shouldn't have even been allowed in for the prenatal scans to be honest.
I didn’t even need to hear the title to know that kidnapping is where that first story would inevitably end up. Grandma called it “her baby.” Not her *GRAND* baby, “her baby.” But combine that with getting possessive and you know for certain this woman is not safe. Demanding to be at doctors appointments, and especially asserting that the doctors are wrong.
So I work at a store that I think is the same as the one in the second story. If you talk to the older staff they’ll tell you they had way more training before they were ever sent out on to the floor, and they do give online safety training that you legit get paid to do during your work hours. For the most part though, the machinery and heavy lifting is basically its own department and staff. Unless otherwise requested over time, storage/night crew and are the same people. And I think it’s due to the forklifts. They give you safety training for the forklifts if you don’t work night crew but it’s more like traffic safety. My job is very big on sticking to rules when it comes to safety, and “just this once” is a massive ass no-no! The lady in charge of night crew, while the classic looks kind of intimidating but is genuinely a caring and good person type, if you mess up she will be annoyed…if you break expensive machinery or are messing around with equipment, she will be pissed
In kind of an ironic happenstance, I was almost taken out of a shopping cart when I was just a baby by some random woman when my mother and great-aunt were out shopping in some store when their backs were turned and my great-aunt just happened to turn around just in time to see this random woman reaching towards me I guess, to try and take me out of the cart and then who knows what and my great-aunt was all like, hey, what are you doing and I guess the woman ran off after that.
That mother in law sounds worse than how my mother was. Still glad I moved to another state to get away from that crazy. Also glad there is NO chance of her re-inserting herself into my family's lives. Ya know, cause she is dead.
Last story: Entitled woman is racist, entitled, *AND* Cheap. Fun mix, and entirely appropriate as an example of those Swedish "Put racism in its place" commercials.
The Cereal lady: Why is nobody telling this kind of entitled people: "No, I'm not going to risk my job to accommodate you." They must believe they are really special, thinking that people would do that.
Grandparents have no rights to their grandchildren. It’s nice if they get access, but they need to behave properly. I’m hearing about lawsuits for “grand parental rights”. These should not even be heard.
The fact that the sister/brother in law still even have ANY contact with the MIL is freakin unbelievable. Like this woman KIDNAPPED YOUR BABY and you’ve got a “strained” relationship with her?!?? How about NO relationship with her wtf
OP kept saying.she tried kidnapping the baby or she was going to kidnap the baby, but she did. She successfully kidnapped the baby. There was no almost about it; she did it.
A lot of the home DNA tests are maternal (mitochondrial DNA) not paternal (Y chromosomal DNA) as used in paternity tests - spent way too long doing genealogy
First story, I can see the mother's side of "why does your family get to know, and why didn't my son tell me?" There's probably a personal reason for it, but I can see some very minor "emotional reasoning" for the insanity.
My dad was super controlling when my mom was pregnant with me. He insisted they only tell his parents, and they didn't tell hers until Thanksgiving, when she was about a month along.
1st story... They said that happened years ago. When my babies were born there was no way to test paternity unless you spent hundreds of dollars at a designated testing center.
@7:30 I know you were being hypothetical when you suggested doing DNA test on someone without their (parents) consent, but I'd just like to point out what a massive invasion of privacy that is.
