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.

It was OP's sister and her husband

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.

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

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.

@@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

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.

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.

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.

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 100% would've called the cops on the MIL and gotten a restraining order.

Based on the title I thought rslash would flip his lid

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.

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 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.

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?

First have a great day lovely peoples

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

“Seriously!? You can’t do this one time?” OP: “I’m super cereal right now”

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?"

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.

Parents of baby: *waited to tell everyone but mom’s family just in case* Entitled Grandma: “hOw COulD yOU keEP Me fROm MY bABy!?!!??!1?!

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."

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

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.

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 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.

If what happened to OP in story one happened to me, the amount of rage I would produce could manifest the gates of hell.

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.

“…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

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 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.

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.

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.

Why would anyone want or need 50-300 boxes of cereal?!?!?!

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

I've usually seen notes on sales flyers at supermarkets saying "Management reserves the right to limit quantities."

that EMIL trying to 'ensure' she is included everywhere, is THE surefire way of getting EXCLUDED

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

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.

perfect for waiting for my vaccinations thanks Rslash!

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.

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.

Wow. I don't think the hospital could have stopped me from hurting anyone who took my baby without permission. I wouldn't care who that person was.

In the baby story, OP's mother-in-law stopped being a Karen and became a Caaaaarl.

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..

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.

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.

Sorry. After her meltdown in response to requiring supervised visits and her calling the girl a hussy, there would be exactly 0 contact with me or the baby. Ain't no "my way or the highway" option now. Get to walking.

Anyone who is willing to kidnap a baby or even argue about paternity of a grandchild will not accept the results of a paternity test. Those people are only looking to validate their beliefs and are not grounded in reality.

I don't think I'll put my job on the line just to cater one entitled customer. That's just plain stupid.

@ Jim March - Cereal Killer ? Really ? Wow ! My Mom would have called that one a groaner, but that's the best kind ! !

Everyone talking about the lady who kidnapped the baby but the real thing to ask is why the lady in the 2nd story buys SO MUCH CEREAL? She's the one our math books warned us about

That lady is 100% breaking the law with whatever she is using that cereal for..

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.

Look, I honestly don't understand what the problem is with the Cereal lady. Like honestly at all. If she has the money to purchase the items then she should be allowed to purchase the items. IDK why a store manager would be mad about that, isn't that like the point of owning a store? Like yeah, no one else can buy that cereal for the day, and people wanting it are gonna have to go somewhere else to get it immediately, but like the store itself still sold all its product. It made a profit off of the purchase, and probably a pretty big profit at that! Like isn't the goal of a store owner to sell all of their product? Why aren't they happy about that? And like yeah, she could have been a little nicer to OP in the story, but like I can completly see where her frustration is coming from. There is a product that she wants, the store has that product in stock, but they are not providing it simply because they didn't plan ahead and train OP, or anyone else in the damn store for that matter, to use the equipment needed to run the business. And then the manager goes out of there way to make sure that product continues to be inconvenient to get all because he doesn't want a customer spending a large amount of money? Like fuck whatever grocery store that is! I honestly think the lady should take her business elsewhere.

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.

"It's not my son's child! I'll never see you, him, or the baby again!" "Do you promise?"

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.

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.
