I’m sure it wasn’t malicious. You often make little changes/choices if the text is vague, but we do appreciate the apology and, going forward, being mindful about it. Thank you
@@Random-yu4xg this was not in conversation, it was in an uploaded video. It’s ridiculous to apply the same expectations. Here, I’d say he followed all rules of accountability - he stated his mistake, apologized, explained, promised to do better. “Be better” is an obnoxious and vague expectation. Being better is a process.
Reading skills when its in you r head is like 9/10 but reading aloud for me is 2/10 even with small slips your still way better at it then I could ever be. Keep up the good work.
I truly believe make-a-wish should make rules that the CHILD decides and if the parents try to intervene they aren’t allowed. The staff member in the first story knew OP was being forced ans still let her choose her MOTHERS wish.
Only time a parent should intervene is if the child is incapable of talking or is mentally unresponsive. Even then, make a wish should make a judgement on whether or not this is for the child or the parent. If it's not for the child. They should take the most common wishes that children of that age bracket enjoy and just draw from it. Completely take the parent out of the equation in terms of deciding.
All they can do is follow the wish of the child, they can't bar the legal guardian from interacting with the kid or monitor all engagement 24/7 until the wish is fulfilled to prevent any manipulation or coercion. All they can do is listen to the kids final decision and try to convince the kid to do what they actually want and not what the family wants.
In the case of my younger brother when he got his make a wish he was like 4 years old and was incapable of making the decision, but my parents thought of him the entire time. He really liked tractors when he was little, especially John Deer, and my parents asked the foundation if we all could go tour the John Deer factory in Illinois (I think) but you had be 18+ to your the factory, no exceptions, so instead the correspondent for our family said "well how about Wisconsin Dells?" And this made complete sense to my parents, it was just over the border in Wisconsin from Minnesota and it was only a couple hours away. We got a week long vacation at the Kalahari Resort with free games of bowling, free Lazer tag, free arcade tokens, we got to experience the entire resort and the staff was awesome
You've always been vocal about how parents should treat their children, but since your little one came along you can REALLY hear the papa bear! It's so great 💕
@@this_user_does_not_exist2063 - To follow up, this is because bear fathers are actually known to kill their young, while wolf dads protect them. Still, I think “papa bear” is fine to use in common parlance.
@@Ajehy Ohh I didn't know that about there being a different counterpart to mama bear. I did know father bears are known to kill their own young, but not about there being an alternate phrase for protective fathers. Thank you for doing me an educate♥
You can tell whenever Rslash is feeling emotional when his tone is so serious and his voice breaks. The mother of the first story was horrible. What’s even worse, is that it’s not the first story I’ve seen about a mother manipulating a make a wish kid. There’s a special place in hell for those people!
How easy is it to get large bladed weapons into canada? I would like to introduce that EP to a little something called the Blood Eagle. Edit: Also, i personally think the "i gave birth to you!" argument is pretty terrible, as one: the kid didnt ask for it, Two: it has a very simple counter, "so my crappy and horrendous existence is your fault!".
When ops mom in the 1st story says the "can you imagine going to to see the band without me" and all that crap. Op should reply with "yeah can you imagine if I died and didn't get to enjoy my wish, but hey you got YOUR wish/trip right?"
My sister is getting a Make-A-Wish, and I'm constantly afraid I'm influencing her when she's making her wish, even though I know I'm not. I couldn't imagine doing this shit. This helped me know I'm really not influencing her, especially compared to this mother.
It's about memories right? Maybe the sibling would like to do something that includes you to make a lasting impression/memory. Don't be shy if they want to include you, you'll maybe only get that one chance.
I remember, by circumstance, having the honor to help a young child with her make a wish. My old stable fulfilled this girl's wish to own a pony by working to give her a ride where she could do anything. I stayed to help groom the little pony, and was an extra runner to help hold the girl in the saddle. This girl was so brave, and had ridden at a stable where I leased my pony, Sweety, to. Good Ol Sweets had been the horse she rode, and she'd learned so much and was so delighted to talk about riding. She was like 9 and leaving my country to go die with her family as she hadn't responded to treatment and couldn't endure it anymore. This family was so kind, even giving us a lovely chocolate cake on a fasting religious event. They were so delighted someone was willing to do this on such short notice, and had a good laugh when I told some funny Sweety stories pre stable days. For a few hours, I got to help make this girl and her family smile, even if I was mostly a background set of hands. This family were so dedicated to their daughter, they sacrificed elements of their religion, Islam, for this time to make her wish come true. The father shook my hand as an equal, although it was clear he wasn't familiar with shaking women's hands. They brought us food despite it being fasting. They were around women dressed immodestly in some of sects of Islam. They let that woman with their son and did everything with a smile and tearful thank yous. They sacrificed their life to fufill their daughter's wish of dying with her grandparents. So to hear a parent stole make-a-wish actually makes me physically cry. After seeing this amazing family, seeing this gorgeous girl I knew would be dead by the end of the year, the belief someone could steal from their kids is just unspeakable.
There are a LOT of people who shouldn't have children, mostly the kids of others who shouldn't have had children. I was smart enough to get a tubal ligation, so there won't be lots of mini-mes running around. My doctor tried to talk me out of it because I was young and only had one kid, surely I would want another? The one was unplanned, and I knew right after I should never have another. He actually turned out fine; he's 21 and much more responsible than I was at that age.
Somethimes i wonder if thous people ever thoght of just decking these people And isnt op legal in the ownership Also if he has Emails to prove they stole 25000 from him
It seems so unfair for young people to get cancer. It's never good for anyone, but when you're older you at least feel as though you've had a chance to live a little - poor kids haven't even begun and they already have that incredible challenge to overcome.
Those who study genetics will learn that there are numerous ways our genome can mutate in ways that are not immediately fatal to a developing fetus. Hence, early onset cancers.
@@robertholden8956 I don’t find it so. I’ve never understood the thinking that suggests that a loving parent would make sure that nothing unfair ever happened to his children. Haven’t we seen on rSlash what happens when a parent tries to make sure their child never has a single disappointment in life? You don’t grow up, mature, or become anything except a spoiled brat. I like thinking that God cares enough about me to let me have bad things happen so that I can learn from them, even if all I’m learning is how to appreciate what I’ve got and accept what I can’t fix. You spend your whole life raging about the unfairness you see and you never learn to enjoy the good things or empathize with others. And those are things we need to learn, if only to keep from bashing others for what they believe.
@@BeeWhistler Fortunately, the UK is genuinely secular and nobody cares about beliefs of others unless they try to push them on us. The USA has religious nut jobs effectively terrorising society and dictating to others. Laughable that they then interfere in other nations due to supposed religious oppression. Sorry but I regard certain religions as pretty much vermin. That includes Jehovah's Witnesses and a lot of Catholic extremists.
The first story made me super angry, I'm a dad as well, hearing your reaction and the repulsion and anger you've got your heart in the right place, I can tell you're the type of new dad who turns out to be one of the best out there, take that from someone who's got a amazing 3 year old son
Story 1: You want to lose your relationship with your child? That's how. Disgusting behavior that Mom and Stepdad did. They deserve to lose all contact with OP.
As far as they were concerned their kid was as good as dead so they might as well take advantage, basically saying "no sense wasting the opportunity on my kid that's probably going to die when I could go on a holiday instead"
So many of these stories need to end with "and that's why I cut my parents out of my life." I'm sure for some of them it's a given, but it would be nice to get confirmation that these awful people got rightfully disowned.
@@Lilith-Rose oh my god I never looked at it from this perspective. The first story is my story, I never thought about my parents seeing it this way. It makes a lot of sense.
Honestly i feel like make-a-wish, should have a one on one session with the child to see what they want and finalize it same day to prevent parents from possibly interfering, manipulating, and taking advantage of the foundation
The first story is mine, This was in 2008, so their rules weren’t as strict. However now, probably partially because of people like my parents commandeering the wish from the child for what they want. They really did try to get me to keep my wish as I wanted it, but I was desperately trying to keep the peace. I wish I could go back and redo it now that I’m older and know better. My mom has also not gotten any better in terms of manipulative jerk moves.
The first story…was horrific…to have a mother of a dying child act this way and stole away potentially her child’s final wish,guilt tripped them and kicked them out…is just evil. I know that word may not carry a lot of weight cuz it’s said a lot but to me this isn’t black and white…this is just disgusting and evil. And I agree with rslash…and in my opinion OP has no mother she has a twisted disgusting woman pretending to be a parent nothing more
Not to mention she took her dying child to concert, BUT OP had to freaking pay for it. And then kicked here out in order to get her OP to feel bad. What’s worse? That witch succeeded
The first story is me, I wish I could say my mom had some magical turn around, but she’s still like this today. I’ve just gotten a lot better at maneuvering through her BS
@@low-keydrama1260 and unfortunately she still gets away with a lot of it to this day. I’ve gotten better at dealing with her but she hasn’t really changed.
The first story sounds like a mirror to another story a while back, where the OP was a nurse explaining how a mother forced her sick child to ask for a cruse trip instead of meeting the band that she wanted to.
@@caitlinkurvink1135 the point of his channel is to read stories other posted. And sometimes people post wholesome stories. There are a few ive heard already. Some of them in the "i dont work here" ones. Ive heard at least one in petty revenge too
@@MalonzeProductionsGaming Also, Reddit is very slow that repeats are common. This just happens to be one of the worst stories he had covered that is worth repeating. Even the title of the video.
That first story pisses me off. Your kid has cancer with a very low survival rate and you throw a fit when she tries to choose what she wants to do with THEIR make a wish. How jacked up are your priorities
The last story sounds like the parents found out the guy lived in America which to a lot of people in the Philippines means he is rich, so they were trying to extort money from him they just grabbed their opportunity. I have been to the Philippines and have family there and that is just how it is there. The assumption is if you live abroad you are rich.
That and it's sometimes the case that when someone dies in a car accident, the survivor pays the family of the deceased as a form of settlement to avoid the case going to court regardless of fault. They were probably applying that logic in that situation which could be why the tanod was there too.
I can attest to that. My uncle is Filipino and married my aunt (who is American) and my uncles relatives (who still live in the Philippines) are constantly asking him to send money, clothes and whatever they want because according to them "You're rich, you can afford it", which he can't. My aunt has been struggling for the last 12 years trying to make sure all the bills and mortgage is paid on time, while he constantly withdraws money out of their joint bank account to send to the Philippines.
@@darksheikgaming it's a stereotype here that foreigner = rich. We don't realize the cost of living is very different in our countries. But your can't totally blame them, they're victims of there circumstances. Heck, I've always thought that life in the US is much easier than here until I heard stories like these. When your situation is hopeless and your government isn't helping you, you grab on to any way out of the struggles even if it means throwing away your dignity. Being able to marry a foreigner is romanticized as THE way to get rich or at least out of poverty.
Unfortunately, that's pretty true. There's a mentality that if you're from a foreign country, you're rich, and that means you have money to spare. Not all of us are like that though, but there are some, especially those closer to the poverty line, who think that if you can easily get money from scamming someone, you should. I've had kids who destroyed our car, and the parents blatantly refusing to pay for the damages even though their kids were caught in video, then demand that we 'pay for their child's therapist (spoiler, their child was a happy little shit who thought there was nothing wrong with jumping on the roof and hood of a parked car) because their traumatized child is now too scared to go out.' Funny enough, their 16 year old daughter was seen hanging out on the sidewalk with her friends talking about how they should get money because they were filmed without them knowing. they lost that case.
It's also possible that the parents, or at least the mom, didn't know any better and were told OP owed them money, so the mom's tears could be genuine. OP should have known better and not stayed in such an area, foreigner or not. It's not unknown for some people from the slums to come up with such schemes to get money. For example, people used to deliberately slam themselves against cars and motorcycles so they could say they've been hit and then demand money. People used to just give money to avoid going to court, but nowadays many cars have dashcams front and back, so what drivers do is go to the nearest police station, show the recording, and that's the end of it. Another example is the car wash boys who will wash your windshield during a stop, and if you don't give them money they will smash your windows with a rock. This happened to me when I was in a cab, one boy even tried to intimidate me and tried to open the door, which was locked. Fortunately the light turned green and we sped away. The driver asked if I was ok, and I said, "Yeah." And that was the end of it.
Story 3: It's most likely extortion. It is pretty common here in the Philippines. There are some cases that "parents" or "guardians" would most likely find a way to extort people, even with the expense of loosing a kin or a relative. For example, a person would purposely let themselves get run over or bump into a running vehicle, dead or not, the accomplice would extort the owner of the vehicle.
The parents in the second story are so awful. They are so mean! Why would they do so many bad things! I’m glad the three kids went no contact after that.
I want to adress something about R/ he says that he doesnt like giving out 5 off 5 but he gave someone that becouse he didnt give his cat a candy 1 time
*rSlash:* _”I don’t even have anything funny to say.”_ One second earlier… *rSlash:* _”After you die sweetie this tan will last.”_ *Me:* _”But that was funny.”_ * laughing while going to hell… *
1st story: Damn, that Mom is insane. OP has cancer, and she could've died. She just want to meet her favourite band, but her mom is like: *I SAID WE GO TO BARBADOS*. What a horrible parent. She doesn't even deserve a child,
When my grandma was dying at the hospital a couple of years ago, I began singing for her. I was in choir for a little bit, so I knew basic notes and stuff, but not a lot of songs, although I didn't care because she was in her death bed fighting to keep her eyes open. But after my grandma died and we got back home, my mom began bitching at me about my "awful singing" and I screamed at her saying "sorry I was singing for your DYING mother!" And she began crying. My mom is very entitled that's why I'm keeping her out of my life for now on. She has always chose shopping over feeding her children, which I can't forgive. That's when I blew up, I couldn't be quiet any longer, I gave my best voice for my grandma and showed an entitled person a lesson, which I'll never regret.
Wow, just wow. Your mother might be able to compete in the "Most Entitled B-Word" competition. I hope your grandmother is in a better place right now, I am very sure she was a very sweet person
The fact that the mother in the first story wanted to use OP's Make-A-Wish thing for her own pleasure instead of her kid's. It's OP's wish, not her mother's. Basically OP's mother wanted to use her kid's Make-A-Wish thing as a free trip so she wouldn't pay for the expenses. If any of my future kids have a cancer that could potentially kill them, the first thing I would do is give some suggestions on what they want to wish for. But other than those suggestions, it's up to my kid to decide on what their Make-A-Wish thing should be. I'm not that parent who forces my kid to make decisions based on what *I* want. I want my kid to make decisions based on what *they* want. It's their choice on where they want to visit or who to meet, not my choice.
Make a Wish needs to change their rules years ago so parents cannot do this.. These types of parents make me sick to my stomach as a mother of 3 grown children. I'm so very close to my kids and I cannot imagine doing things like this to them..
When rSlash talks about Lily he sounds like the best dad in the world possible. Your daughter is going to achieve big things in life with a father like you!
@Diamond Greyfell it might not be a real job to you, but he is doing something he loves And providing very well for his family. I think that is an excellent example.
@Diamond Greyfell You should try to make a living from a viral youtube account and see how "minimal" the effort required is. Especially one that has fresh uploads every day.
I think he’s a great roll model! It takes more than a well paying job for a parent to be a good roll model. It takes empathy, knowledge, ethics, Patients and so much more. For example; you could be the best doctor in your field but still be the worst parent imaginable. Your job or generation doesn’t matter. The time and care you take to be with your child is what matters.
@Diamond Greyfell Being a youtuber is a real job? He gets payed for making video's. I feel like you just want to start shit and if so you're an ass. A job is a job and he clearly loves his family and is supporting them.
We should all reach out to the jonas brothers and maybe with enough attention they might go meet make a wish op? Theyre pretty nice dudes they might actually do it!
@@SevCaswell I think you’ve been pranked. There was a celebrity death hoax going around a while back. If you google the Jonas brothers it even comes up. All of them are fine
Rslash thank you for making everyone’s day better, I like that you reserve the 5/5 score for people like this mother, being mean or sexist or just a Karen is bad but this is on an entirely different level
Excuse the Randomness but here you go, have some warm Recommendations, cause the Learning never Ends! (Thats the entire reason, yes) -Veritasium. -Professor Dave Explains. -It’s ok to be smart. -Oversimplified (for History) -Michio Kaku. -Multiple channel with the word Engineering in it. -Cynical Reviews.
I’ll never forget a couple years ago when I first found your channel and I heard the story about the entitled parent literally assaulting a disabled woman because she wanted her wheelchair for her son who was “too tired to walk.” I work retail and that video came out around the time had to deal with my first really difficult customer so it really sticks out to me. The first story with a mother literally guilt-tripping her own daughter who’s dying of cancer into taking a vacation instead of meeting her favorite band ALONG with going on vacation and only agreeing to go if SHE paid for it takes entitlement to a whole new level. And to kick her out of her house until she agreed to it is just disgusting beyond words. People like that who put their wants above the happiness of their children should never have children in the first place.
I feel I've heard that first story before but through the eyes of the Make a wish correspondent. The correspondent was angry at the mom and sad that OP didn't get what she really wished for.
The first story is just awful! Who tries to take advantage of their DYING daughter and value their own happiness against their potential last dying wish! It’s so logicless and crazy that rslash even cursed!
So when I was growing up I was sick a lot. In my teens I got a Wish. I could have met NSYNC, which was my first thought. But my family wasn't well off so I decided to go to Florida. We visited Disney and few other places. There's a village across from Disney where the Make A Wish families stay. I got sick while there and they had a doctor come to our cottage in the village. Later my parents got tickets to see NSYNC for my sister's & I but of course I ended up in the hospital. So my aunt and uncle took my sister's & cousins. And then later my grandma got tickets to a different NSYNC concert for my mom and I. But all that to say I made that decision. I WAS NOT coursed into it. My parents are not those kind of ppl. Op's mom definitely deserves the high ah rating.
I think we should create a subreddit “I followed rslash’s advice and this is what happened”. I’m envisioning these poor people who’ve been taken advantage of going crazy and paying them back. And we get to watch and listen and cheer. Fan club all the way.
@bostonrailfan2427 no. A Parent Plus loan is a loan in the parents name and the parents name only meant as a way for a parent to get a government backed loan with a lower interest rate to support their children's education. They don't need to take it, and a parent can't even take out a PLUS loan until after the student takes out both Federal Direct Subsidized and Federal Direct Unsubsidized loans, as well as applied for any federal and state level grants and scholarships, like the Pell Grant, that they would be eligible for and the loan only is to offset the difference in the education cost. Usually it accounts for a maximum of about 30 to 40 percent of the total cost of education, and if the parent doesn't want to take it out then the student would have to find private loans to make up the difference. A plus loan is the father's loan. And if the father does OP isn't stuck with it, just like if OP does the father isn't stuck with her loan. Is his responsibility and OP is still paying 600 bucks a month to him to cover most of it and OP gave 2500 bucks upfront when they don't need to. But they didn't want to be stuck with a promissory note to pay for more then they already are because they took out that loan. And another thing: another benefit of the PLUS loan is that the payments are tax deductible so if OP pays it the father is getting a free tax break, whereas it's supposed to be paid by the father in exchange for not having to pay taxes on the income used towards it as a refundable tax credit. So when OPs father gets the money back on their taxes for the payments made is the father going to give that money to OP? I have a very high suspicion that the answer to that is no. And OP doesn't get that tax benefit for paying the father's loan.
The first story just broke my heart for OP 🥺🥺 how can a woman call herself a mother for doing that about her sick child.. Also when they said hiatus I immediately thought of the Jonas Brothers, and I would never talk to my mother again if she took my chance of meeting them away. I was a huuuuuge JB fan from like age 10.
Hey rSlash! I just want to point out that in the second story, OP is nonbinary. That means they probably use they/them pronouns. This means a lot for some people so it would be sensitive to remember that if you can! Have a great day!
Its at a point that i expect all Karens to have that Karen voice But, OMG I’ve never gotten more angry over a story like that first one. I should probably not wish that the mother was the one to get cancer. Should probably not wish that the mom would die a slow, painful death
I have never had such a visceral response to a story as hearing about the mom insisting they go to barbatos instead of what her child wanted. The audacity of saying she never would have forgiven them if they had chosen another wish is horrifying. That poor kid.
I can't even with that mother in the first story. I do, sort of, identify with op and their anti-vax parents. I've had to go low contact with my parents in the last year. My dad constantly RAGES about politics, immigration, Covid and the vaccines. For my mental health I've had to take a step back from spending time with them. My mom isn't as bad and she will have an actual conversation with you. However my dad only wants you to agree with him and won't listen to anything another person has to say and just yells his opinions at you. I'll be seeing them in a couple of weeks and I'm already dreading it.
To the fraction of the population that will see this video, please don’t let the conception of children be made on a whim. With great power comes great responsibility.
Hey rslash, I know it may have been accidental but on the Prius story you referred to op whos nb and states so at the beginning of their post as he, maybe they won’t see this video but I thought I’d just say it so that in future you may be able to notice it better? I just don’t want to be **that** person but I think it’s nice to respect their pronouns and gender
I've talked about my own family friends with the Make-A-Wish drama on here: long story short, a mother convinced her dying (YES, legit TERMNALLY ILL) daughter to get a stupid computer instead of her own wish, so the mother could use it when she died. Nice lady, huh? I just want to let OP in the first story know: karma WILL come back around, my darling. It will. In the last year, this mother has had this happen: her husband left her, part of her house burned down, she lost her job, and now she's showing signs of a potential memory disorder. Did it take 17 years? Yes. But karma still came back for that bitch and it WILL come for your mother, just you wait. There is no excuse for ANY family member to steal wishes from their own flesh and blood. This program is put in place to give children either a last happy memory OR give them hope to get better, give them strength and courage to fight. My GOD, what a terrible mother. If I ever had kids and one was so ill they need Make A Wish, I wouldn't give two shits about what they wanted: sit in a bowl of spaghetti for a day for all I care. IT'S THEIRS, NOT MINE!
I live in the Philippines, and honestly, I feel like the parents in the last story are both entitled and opportunists. Some people here think of people who live in other countries as walking ATMs, and there's a chance that the parents knew about it, and they instantly thought "easy cash" and used their son's death as an excuse to extort money from OP. I also feel bad that OP got scammed about the house deposit. Some landlords here are really scummy and would take advantage of anyone and anything that they could.
I grew up in a house with a psyco-stepdad and a weak mom. There were 5 of us kids, 3 were from psyco-stepdad. When they all left home, EVERY. ONE. OF. US. gave him a loud "Frak you!!!" He was more mad about us leaving because we would no longer be paying him "rent" than losing his crew of workers! My rent started at age 14 and didn't stop until I actually left his house. THEN, he would call me demanding money because he was having a "hard time making ends meet". Too bad, so sad. I would go there to visit my mom, but when he started his bullcrap, I would just leave....which pissed him MORE!!! I would laugh all the way home! Some parents just do not CARE about their kids; in my house, family had to be a PAYING proposition!!!!
the fact that cancer treatment is "free" in Canada, shows how even more disgusting that "mother" was. I took care of my mom who had (and passed on) cancer. It is NOT a huge bother, the mother hasn't gone through anything at all. Taking care of her kid is as expected because she's her MOTHER. Her dad has it good to be separated from that entitled monster.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You really loved your mother, it's clear she doesn't even love her own daughter for the way she acted. It's like she only took care of her for some prize and she decided her prize was the make a wish even though its not. The nerve of some people is mind blowing.
My son had cancer when he was a baby - thankfully it was completely gone before his first birthday. We hit the 5 year survivor mark this year and it was such a huge relief to reach that milestone. Chances of relapse go down so much once you’ve made it to 5 years. That 6 months (and the recovery period after) changed me permanently - having a baby with cancer wasn’t something I ever envisioned for myself (or anyone). That being said - being a teenager with cancer is so much harder than being a baby. I got to know some teens in the clinic during chemotherapy- my baby didn’t know what he was missing. Those teens had made it almost all the way through - and then had it ripped away. I’m so glad OP survived and with such a good outlook but - I think she should’ve cut mom and stepdad out immediately. Such abuse. And of course she caved to their manipulation - most healthy teenagers would’ve. One who was fighting cancer at the same time? Personally, I think there must be a follow up make a wish something or other- this can’t be the only time a shitty parent has commandeered the make a wish choice…
A parent plus loan is the parents qualifying for you to take out a student loan. Usually the kid pays it off but it effects the parent's credit if they dont
and she ducked out of it in her escape, she hasn’t mentioned making arrangements to repay it so they’re on the hook for it in full not her. even if they’re scumbags, she should at least arrange to legally payoff the loan and put it under herself otherwise she’s no better than them
It shouldn’t even matter whether or not the mother would care to see the band. She should have been happy seeing her child have the best day ever, especially seeing as this could have been one of the LAST times they could’ve had a memorable experience. My own mother took me to a meet and greet hosted by one of my favorite RU-vidrs at the time, and it wasn’t even a dying wish for me because I wasn’t dying. I just happened to be able to go to this meet and greet and really, really wanted to go. My mom bought me a ticket to go and drove 3 hours to see the smile on my face when I met these people. My mom didn’t even watch their videos, but knew how big of a fan I was and wanted to see me have the best day of my life. Parents should be happy seeing their children happy, even if the parent doesn’t necessarily care about whatever the child is interested in. Especially if it’s their DYING WISH.
sure. I wake up around 1 pm because I'm in Europe and work for Americans, so when Rslash video is uploaded is around 3 pm so I eat breakfast food and getting ready to start my shift
I was a Make-a-Wish kid. Not for anything terminal or something like that. They actually opened the program up to non terminal, but still severe neurological conditions a few years ago. Anyway, when I found out I qualified, I was thrilled. I'd spent several years missing out on fun experiences due to my medical problems. I knew right away what I wanted to do. And my parents backed me 100%. Idk what I'd have done if they talked me out of it. It's an amazing experience, getting everything catered to you, having everything be about you in a non medical setting. Never-ending curses on OP's mom for taking that away from them.
As someone who really loves whenever you cover AmIthebutthole I can confidently say that I usually agree with your ratings. Not all of them, but a fast majority of times you give a very reasonable score.
Hey rslash, the poster in the second story said they were non-binary, and you didn't use they/them pronouns when speaking about them. Please be careful of that in the future. You've got a huge platform and little things like that can invalidate people.
Not all of us, but they/them are definitely the safest to use, yeah. I'm genderfluid and am fine with any pronouns but it, but others have their own opinions, too.
that first story was heart crushing, how can someone be so damn cruel to just steal someone's make a wish from them all because they want a tan. what if OP did pass away and all that mother cared for was herself and her stupid tan that wont even last btw. how disgusting and pathetic does a parent have to be to take away their child's possible last wish that's just the most Fucked up thing a person can do to their own child. that mother is not a karen, that woman is the reason why having faith in humanity is all but lost at this point. I'm no parent but even so being that cruel and vile to put your own selfish needs above your own dying child is unforgivable and R/slash's response is even more heartbreaking cause we never know when cancer is gunna appear to cause pain and misery
I can't believe that the person in the first story still talks to her mother. That "mother" is the absolute worst person and doesn't deserve to have kids.
Because he just doesn't care enough to get it right. So, I mean, at least it's not malicious, but the people have made note of it; we are watching and asking you to do better in the future Mr. Slash.
@@Wendy_O._Koopa That is a possibility. But also there may have been a mention of pronouns elsewhere on OP's profile that rslash saw. Also, he skips sections of the stories all the time (or rearranges the words for better comprehension) so this one may not be significant in comparison to those other times.
When I got my wish from make a wish I wished to swim with the dolphins at the Atlantis resort, it definitely was fun and I loved it. I can’t imagine if my parents did that to me.
As a survivor of childhood cancer that first story really burns me up! What the mother did is seriously selfish. Even though OP survived, it made the memory unforgettable but in a bad way.
Holy crap. I was able to have a make a wish after my own diagnoses, and it was an amazing experience. To have such a great thing soured by a terrible parent is devastating. I'm so sorry, OP
Hi R/slash, I just wanted to tell you that you were the last person that I wanted to watch before I went into the m-3ntal h0$pital, thanks for being great
I'm absolutely appalled by the first story as well. Unbelievable. I give OP a LOT of credit for still maintaining a relationship with her mother because I don't think I would be able to. If mom did THIS, what else is she capable of?! I imagine OP could write an entire book full of stories of the asinine, selfish, unnatural behavior of her mother. The obvious silver lining here is the AMAZING fact that she survived her cancer despite the odds being stacked against her 🤗💕 So, so glad for her!
And not only did the first mother do something so cruel and disgusting to her dying child, but she survived and to this day the mother is still so completely absent of a conscience that she repeatedly doubles down and reopens that wound without remorse. Fucking disgusting.
I just can't understand how some people can be this evil towards their own DYING children. These people should be publicly called out for the whole world to see.
I heard about an even worst "Make a Wish" entitled parent story. Not sure if it's true or not, it's just too disgusting for me to fully believe that someone could be that narcissistic, but the story went that a mother tried to get her own extensive plastic surgery paid for by Make a Wish instead of fulfilling her dying kids wish. Of course Make a Wish said "Oh hell nah!"
Listening to Rslash while having an IBS flare up 20 minutes before my shelter closes. Honestly this is the only way I want to spend my morning. Hey stay beautifully majestic you wonderful beings, may love and kindness surround you and those who deserve it.
@@Kiefsti it's cold but I'm outside in shorts enjoying life and listening to jazz. Birds are chirping and it's a great day. I hope you have a lovely day kind stranger
This is the second story we've had about moms stealing their kids' "Make-A-Wish" moment. Why do moms do this? Also, most of us NBs prefer they/them pronouns. Not all of us, of course, but it's the safest bet when you want to avoid misgendering.
In the 2nd story. It is possible to make all 3 of your kids hate you. My dad basically ruined everything that my siblings and I liked about him He had taken us on holidays but spent them yelling He told me I was an accident on my birthday I'm planning on changing my last name to my mum's last name, and once I can go no contact with my dad. He deserves it. After all, I grew up with because of him.
@@WishGender it was definitely painful to hear, and not the first time either. I doubt it's malicious but rslash really needs to be more careful because it could be devastating to a trans/nb person hearing themselves being misgendered like that by a popular youtuber, I know if I was openly trans and this happened it'd be really upsetting
I know, I heard "he" and suddenly I was like "Oh no, here it comes... it's a really small nitpick that may seem insignificant to some, but to other it means the world." And then of course whenever you point out a 'political' issue (politics=these people exist), someone else will inevitably crawl out of the woodwork to 'defend' Slashy. We're not attacking him, we just want him to be a little more careful.
Yea I hope that he sees this or my comment (I commented similarly above). I'm soooooo used to this sorta stuff but rslash really is one of my favourites and I was for some reason just assuming he would know to say they so it mad my stomach get all uncomfortable :( I'm hoping its not malicious but I am concerned simply because in other stories he will read out (23F) but in this one he skipped over (NB23) and then later in the post it says they haven't told their parents they are nonbinary yet and he skipped that part too... but it wasn't really totally necessary to the story so its hard to say. I really hope it was just an honest mistake.
The Make A Wish story is especially bizarre because as OP said, they couldn’t have met the band in Barbados? Or have gone to Florida instead and met them there? What? Like wow talk about evil parents.
Hey Rslash, in the second story, OP said that they were non-binary, meaning that they most likely don't use he/him pronouns. Just thought you should know
My narcissist mother put her own needs above my 32-yr old sister who was dying of cancer and my sister's best friend ripped her a new butthole. Mom didn't care, though. The 2nd story--again with my mother--she caused us siblings to move far away and I eventually cut ties.
@@gregistopal Normally I would agree with you, but at the same time, he usually doesn't skip when they put their gender and age in parenthesis, and this time he did, so it kinda feels like maybe he's doing it on purpose, and it just seems really disrespectful to be using someone's story in his videos if he's not even going to respect their gender identity.
@@TheWriter960 I noticed the skip over their gender and age thing too and its really been bothering me for like two weeks since I saw this. I love his channel so I twittered him or w.e. and he said it was a mistake and he was sorry it slipped past! :) I'm so relieved because I didn't wanna stop watching these lol
