Story 1: the OP could have called the police to report the mother for child abandonment and opted to not call CPS and let the police handle calling or not calling CPS.

[@gamester512]

And it would also have gotten the husband's attention far more quickly, and may have resulted in a good outcome much sooner.

[@diamondly6250]

@@umani9983 i would have done it the first time 😂

[@ShapesWithoutColors]

It's a dumb fucking story where op is no better than the shitty neighbor, just wrong in a different way. CPS should have been called the moment the kid was abandoned the first time. And op claiming she tried everything when she didn't try the one thing she should have done to begin with.

[@redphantom11]

When the mom left the kid on the doorstep, knowing the neighbor wasn't home, the police should have been called. That's abandonment and endangerment. Same with leaving the child in the car alone.

[@irisfimbres5857]

Story #2: Damn 😳... That guy is a God for what he did. And I love how he payed for the young mother's groceries and helped her and her husband buy more baby stuff. How much money does this man have?! Like geez dude. The world need more people like this.

[@dogofwar6769]

Story 2: There's actually just a good chance that that wild Karon was just a, well, Karon. There's now actually been sociological studies exploring the Karon phenomena and they figured out that there is a certain type of personality that presents with extreme levels of narcissistic as well self-righteousness that they just deserves to be treated better than anyone else.

​@@anne-vc7bg no excuses. Family or friend or not, stop making society pay for your piss poor attitudes. The problem in society is the lack of accountability and everyone wants to be toxic and make it everyone else's problem.

[@anne-vc7bg]

@@vaporwingfauxmcloud1190 I fully agree society's problem has to do with lack of accountability. And context does matter with assigning accountability. Things don't happen in a vacuum. I'm sure you had at least 3 classmates that were called stupid nerds all school year round, then asked nicely by their bullies with puppy dog eyes infront of a teacher "can I borrow your notebooks, please 🥺 I really wanna learn and need help." I would also appreciate it if you would take more care into reading comments that you reply to and use arguments that apply to it, instead of just going at someone with "I'm bigger lobster than you".

[@kirby4077]

Exactly. Karens don't need reasons to go off, it's just in their nature. Once again this narrator tries to justify stupid behavior and attacks the victim right at the end

[@sergeipohkerova7211]

"Forces" you to babysit? The only thing you're morally forced to do is call the police.

[@Charles-7]

yep, what that entitled mother is doing is borderline slavery, and oh boy if the op is well, African American then things would've escalated like alot.

[@gotenblack2542]

Story 1 Shows the Karen doesn’t care about her kid and rather have people watch him instead of her

[@gamester512]

If I were the unfortunate husband in that scenario, I would have *immediately* filed for divorce and fought tooth and nail for custody of the kid (and considering the fact that the Karen was, for all intents and purposes, *abandoning* her kid at OP's house without OP's permission or consent, that would likely have been a very big mark against her being able to have custody....the argument could even be made that she shouldn't have custody at all, since if she ever had custody she may just go right back to her old tricks by trying to force someone to be a free babysitter for her again). If Karen was willing to do all of that while also lying to her husband and essentially stealing from him by taking money he'd given her for the express purpose of her using it to pay OP, then what *else* isn't she being honest with him about? I wouldn't be surprised if that Karen was cheating on her husband on some of those days that she abandoned her kid at OP's house.

[@lydiat5819]

I would file for divorce immediately. Imagine not caring for yr own flesh and blood who is so young, totally selfish.

[@keeganlafferty1395]

I would've done it the first time, no tolerance for that crap, that's how entitled people are created, when people don't say "no" to their crazy demands or shut down their antics from the start

[@AmandaWolfChild]

I've been out in public with my kids before an I tell them not to do something, like talk in the movie theater an they will respond with "But that person is doing it" my response is always "I'm not responsible for their behavior, I'm responsible for yours. If their mama didn't raise them right that's not my problem, but you WILL act right." That's what the mom shoulda said to her kids.

[@Creative_StudioMic]

3rd Story: You could apply the same logic to them. Say something like: "Well, there's a rule in our family that we don't drink soda. It damages teeth and is very unhealthy. And as I see, you little girl ordered herself a soda! By your logic, she should pour it in the trash can and order something else! Water, for example!" They would either shut up or we would witness mother literally following the advice.

[@sandrasausville9103]

You know what I would have called CPS on this woman. Sorry but I repeatly said that you are not a babysitter

[@JimBeamFiend53]

Story 1: Damn! OP is a total pushover for letting this go on for as long as it did.

[@Keenen10]

Story 1: Should've called the police for child abandonment. This mother is a horrible mother who does not care about her child.

[@borgranta61103]

Last Story: The post office could get in trouble for violating numerous laws for cranking up the heat to dangerous levels as well not providing toilet paper especially since people with various disabilities could be susceptible to potentially severe harm from both dangerous heat as well as no toilet paper. Also OSHA and the health department could also fine them for work conditions that are dangerous due to extreme heat and unsanitary work conditions.

1st story: "hey CPS, I've got a neighbour who's actively leaving a young child unaccompanied.." yea Op has no spine in this situation. I'd have went to the police to begin with. Even if the karens husband didn't know what was going on it would be one hell of a wake-up call to divorce the woman

[@alpha-sama]

Story 1: OP let this get way out of hand. She should've called the police and report the lady for child abandonment on the very first day of this madness. Story 2: Give OP a medal, they're a hero! Story 3: The rules for your family and children don't apply to other people. Would it have been that difficult for the mother to say 'OP is not part of our family so they don't have to follow the same rules you and your brother do' to her kid? Seems easy enough to me. Story 4: This Bill was a jerk and ge deserved this imo. Also good for OP, escaping from that toxic work environment!

story number 2, i can relate to the poster. I was actually one of those people who was constantly on their phone but i was also engaged in conversation with my family whenever we went out, I wasn't absent minded mind you, I was actually fully in the conversation that my family had while I was also on my phone, I guess you could say I have undiagnosed ADHD but, because I never went to the doctor's i just treat it as a quirk because doctors cost money that i don't have. Also 90% of the time now i'm on my phone because i'm talking to a co-worker about something or they're talking to me about something that happened the night before.

[@nayakkarthik31]

Story 1 : I feel bad for the little boy. If it was me I would have kept him in my house until the mom/husband came to pick him up and would call the police for child abandonment if the problem didn't stop.Or I would have the little what his dad's number was and told him the situation

I used to be a yes man, but the one time I needed a day off to see my newborn baby sister, no one could cover. Some even laughed when I called. So since then whenever management called I said, “No, I’ve had a drink, I am legally impaired.” Management was shocked, “it’s only 1 pm?” “Yup it sure is. I’m a little late today actually. Best of luck!”. My coworkers were pissed off that they had to cancel raves and parties with friends. Frankly I didn’t care, wasn’t being paid enough to care. And when management called me in to talk about my change in attitude I pointed out that I work the days I’m scheduled, I do a good job, and if they need me to cover all the time then I should be paid as an “on call” staff member. To which they refused. Stayed for a year after that and the. Fucked off.

CPS police her freaking husband.

[@Ominvus]

Story 1: Yeah, I would have called CPS and the cops if a dumb woman keeps putting her kid on my doorstep to watch him. But talking to the husband was a better movie. If you want me to actually babysit your kid, you bet your ass I want to pay for it. Since she isn't family and being a bitch, my fees are not negotiable. Story 2: I actually see that kind of kindness at least a few days a month on where I work. It warms my soul there is still hope for humanity. Thankfully, I haven't run into a Karon yet. Story 3: Seriously? Talk about a control freak. Even the husband was worried about his wife's actions. I get it that you want family time at dinner but come on! At least op was calm about on how she answered that mother. I will tell you one thing, If I was tired and someone was giving me orders that aren't my family, anyone working at the place I am at or the police, I would be an angry bastard about it and a petty bitch. Not that strong of a will power as op but might be similar to her reaction. At the end, depending on who finished the meal first, I would throw some playful curse words like "Have a nice Fucking day bitch and family." then smirk after turning around knowing how much fun she'll have with her daughter learning a new word. Odds are, the boy already them anyways. Story 4: Oh Bill is trash. I have not come across such a person that self-important and thinks that everyone would do anything for him. Good for op making a great choice on how to get his revenge. Kind of a short sighted for Bill and the postmaster not seeing op has more than one option to deal with them.

[@princessmarlena1359]

For story 4, they probably thought OP didn’t have an additional option. My friend owns a duplex in a desirable neighborhood, always has tenants and vacancies are limited. He can quit any bad job whenever he wants (lucky him). I’m glad OP had other options.

[@Charles-7]

I'm willing to bet that the husband in that story, had threating to divorce her if she doesn't stop abandoning their kid like that, which I think it worked, and I think that entitled mother was spending the money at a beauty salon or on expensive products that is otherwise needed to feed the kid in the first place, so yeah I think the husband would've divorced her if she doesn't stop treating their kid as second priority. in other words if I were in the op's shoes, I would get cps involved anyway, likely not knowing that the whether or not the father finds out.
