People Who CROSSED THE LINE

[@silvanonsilverhorn8371]

I sincerely expected to hear that the daycare worker attempted to kidnap the baby. I think it is a parent's duty to follow their intuition about their child's safety. Mom had a gut feeling something wasn't right. Kudos to her for acting on it to keep her baby safe.

[@flawfuljinx]

The SIL in the second story, sure favourute babies might be normal but that level of affection with a literal stranger is something else. She's also blatantly ignoring the fact this was during a pandemic when strangers especially shouldn't be interacting like that wtf

[@an_avidpanda_lover8349]

She’s also blatantly ignoring the mother’s concerns since the director told her that the way she was treating the baby was making the mother uncomfortable. Still, she continued to act that way.

[@melizabernardo3124]

My blood is boiling when I read the 1st story. Arg the audacity of the son, really?! The son is a total jerk And the fiance is definitely a bad influence to him. They corrupted the son. I agree to the mother for eviction her son and the fiance's family too, that's definitely a good choice.

[@RegularInvader]

It's sad to think that the fiancé and her family were possibly gold diggers who wanted the easy way out of living in a luxurious home. If they really thought he owned that 4 bedroom house, then I then I highly doubt they wanted to "keep" him after the eviction. I don't think the fiancé was excited to keep the wedding date.😬

[@inkheart151]

7:50- no. That is not wrong at all. We had a therapist who did practically the same thing. When something is uncomfortable, you get out of that situation! I don’t care whose feelings people say you’re hurting! It’s fine if a teacher or doctor cares about their patients or students, but there’s a line you don’t cross and sitting kids on your lap and smooching them like they’re YOUR baby is WAY over that line! And it’s scary! What if the woman kidnapped her?!

[@mushkbaar]

Thank you

[@gred_and_forge]

That's what I was thinking!! The behavior just screamed creepy to me; part of me even wondered if she was trying to groom the baby to prefer her over the other workers 😨 seriously, why did the other workers comment like it was something sweet instead of suspicious that she'd call another woman's baby "her baby" while not letting any of them hold her??

[@eileenhathaway1674]

I think the girl at the daycare had some red flags so I think the room change would be fine unless she tried to contact the child again.

[@froopster3425]

My first job as a nurse was in a paediatric unit. I got so attached to the children there that I would stay after my shift ended just to comfort them. I had a hard time handing them over to their parents when they visited. I realized this was not healthy as I do have my own children. After six weeks I handed my resignation in and my manager was pleased as she had planned to speak to me about it. She helped me get a transfer to a surgical unit which worked out better for me. I understand the daycare worker but healthy boundaries must be maintained.

[@Kayenne54]

Healthy, professional boundaries. It's a delicate line to tread; no parent wants an uncaring "carer" but obsessive attachment isn't healthy for anyone. You made a mature decision. It must have been very difficult for you. The little ones need lots of cuddles but it must take a toll on the staff too.

[@tinapay6208]

The first story. Oh God. I love what this guy did. He is not an a**hole for evicting his ungrateful son, in what he & his wife ( basically ) BOUGHT PROPERTY. Very well done, Sir. 👏🏻💯 The 2nd story is not an overreaction. Her SIL is so wrong in her opinion. So many babies get snatched up because someone got fixated on them. What that mother did is a very good thing to me.

I predict his marriage isn't going to last long. 4:55: These daycare workers shouldn't be playing favorites with babies and kids. Maybe the worker meant well, but I would have been bothered by this as well. I can see why being as obsessed as she was to that baby would raise suspicions.

[@RegularInvader]

I honestly don't think he got married after all if the in-laws thought he owned the house. It seems they were after "his" wealth once they realized what a great house he had been living all to himself. The fiancé most likely left him and went off to look for another groom who actually has money.

[@Catharsis770]

No DayCare worker should be kissing the children under their care, especially during COVID. This is my opinion

If my future fiancé (or their family) doesn't want my mum at my wedding, then there will not be a wedding. My mum is my absolute hero. She has fought through so much to make me happy. She is the strongest woman I know and if she wants to, I will have her walk me down the aisle (especially as I have no father in my life). It doesn't matter how much I love my partner, I don't even mind if they have a bad relationship with their mum. I have a good one with mine and they'll need to respect her or they lose me. Those poor parents + sister.. I hope they recover from this heartache The daycare story: my mum and I worked/ran a daycare quite a few years ago (way before pandemic). We did have a favourite baby that we watched, but we never kissed her or called her "my baby". There's a fine line between a favourite child and a strange fixation/obsession. I can't speak for everyone but this is my take.

[@gaxalee7392]

My mom is my soulmate. I struggle with mental health issues, and to this day, no one can convince me that she isn’t the reason I got through high school without su/dal thoughts or self harm. I’d rather die alone than be with someone who mistreats her.

1st Story: The dad isn't an a**hole for eviciting his son. The son pays for his groceries and pays the house utilities. The parents bought the house and pay the taxes, services, and maintenance. The son also didn't invite his parents to the wedding. The son is very ungrateful. 2nd Story: The worker is obsessed with/fixated on the baby. The worker shouldn't have called the baby hers and shouldn't say that none of the other employees/workers can hold her (the baby). The worker also shouldn't have kissed the baby. The mom's SIL (sister in law) is wrong in her opinion. Daycare workers shouldn't have a favorite baby/kid. The worker deserved to be fired. The mom requested that the worker be switched to a different room. I think that it could be a possibility that the worker did something else which caused her to be fired.

[@fedy6390]

I agree with all of it but the part where you said daycare workers shouldn't have a favorite child. I don't think that's something you can really control, liking one kid more. But acting this way isn't how you should express that. This is my opinion

[@BLOODY_BEAUTY]

Regarding the daycare one, my brother went to daycare since he was pretty much born. I’d say around a month old. My brother was the daycare favorite baby and now they are like second parents for him. They were never like kissing him or something. They were not obsessed with him. They gave him money when he left like 5 dollars. They were never crossing the line or making my parents uncomfortable. They were nice and my brother got attached to them. He now knows another language because of them.

[@duaaouznali1176]

Now THIS is a good attitude to a favorite.

[@randomcat7246]

So, I want to speak on the last story as someone who works as a camp counselor for kids who are as young as six years old. At our place, there is a strict hands-off policy. Only necessary touch is allowed, such as: picking them up if they are hurt so badly that they can’t walk, similar to how you’d pick up babies in the daycare in the story. The fact that the girl was kissing the baby all over the face, *even if we weren’t in a pandemic, that’s a MASSIVE NOPE. It shouldn’t happen, and I feel like that by itself, if I were ever to do it, would probably get me fired and tbh rightfully so. I understand where you’re coming from in the few times you tried to defend the girl who got fired in this situation. Yes, she could be going through something. And yes, all of us have a favorite kid like SIL said. But neither of those excuse the unprofessional things that the girl did in the story. You have to draw a very strict line between the kids and us: “We are counselors, NOT their friends or parents.“ , as my boss said. Which of course, leads on to the comment the girl made: “my baby.” No. I may talk with my favorite camper more and be more energetic around her to try and keep her happy, but I can’t ever say something like that. There is a solid line drawn between the kids and us for obvious reasons. And acting like a parent to them or being possessive like she was is just disrespectful to the parent, the other workers, and even the kid (although they’re probably too young in that story for this point to matter). Overall, yes, I think her getting laid off is a natural reaction to the situation. She crossed the line of being simply the babysitter, and it had consequences that she should have known about. Although in my personal opinion as you can tell^ I think the bigger reason to fire her was the fact that she kissed the child repeatedly and such.

[@duaaouznali1176]

Yes. She did the right thing. LIKE IF SHE'S NOT YOUR BABY THEN THAT'S JUST WEIRD. This is also a danger if the girl eats something the baby is allergic to. Happened to me, i got hives and splotches everywhere, and never messed with cashews ever since.

[@Honey_DeeDee]

Agreed. Even if she was going through something, you can’t just do that to someone else’s baby.

[@courageousgrace]

THANK YOU!!! As someone who worked with kids, and was taught these rules, like I don't even feel bad for the girl getting fired. I understand for those who kinda do feel for the babysitter, but I do not concur, if she's going through something I would suggest her going to therapy. Honestly if this were my mother in this situation, she probably would've lost her sh*t, rightfully so! Mama in this story did the right thing! Not many notice until it's too late, I'm actually kinda disgusted that the Daycare even let her (the babysitter) keep doing this for so long.

[@noelle2k3]

For the last story I’m going to school soon to become a preschool teacher. The worker was WAY out of line. That has to be put to an end as soon as possible because in a lot of those cases when they become way too overly attached they kidnap the child. There are many movies fictional and based on true events when that has happened. Also there is a chance something inappropriate could be happening or possibly leading to it. “My baby” like what the hell.

[@livxsabers]

I work with kids, and we literally go through child abuse protection programs where I work and there are a lot of rules for all the staff, like no lap-sitting, DEFINITELY no kissing, only side hugs… that girls behavior isn’t normal.

[@yesitsme1316]

17 years ago I did a childcare course and did placement in many nurseries for it. Then I worked in a few the next few years. Think at least 6+ nurseries experience here. While I didn’t do this myself, it is pretty common. Not with the older kids but in the ‘Baby room’ majority of the workers had a favourite child. It kinda seemed normal tbh. To be fair the babies would usually have a staff member they’d be closer to and prefer themselves. I’ve heard both parents and staff members make references to a staff member being a child’s ‘nursery mum’. Honestly I feel like It sounds like a bigger deal when I type it out like this. It really did feel like this was a non issue. If anything, the issue was probably more with parents who felt their child WASN’T getting favourable treatment, if anything at all that is. Mind you, this was a long time ago, so things have definitely changed but even when my son was attending pre school there was that one staff member he would always hug goodbye when he left nursery. And this was only last year. He did 2 years in a private nursery before he started reception this school year.

[@squareup.thensleep]

yea but the issue here is how creepy she was being she was already told not to do that before but she did it again plus when i was reading that story i just had a gut feeling that if it kept going on she might've kidnapped her baby at some point also, what u said, i honestly feel bad for the "non-favorites" cause i know what that feels like and it is painful :((

[@sereneblossom2951]

i also feel conflicted, but actually what made the worker creepier is the fact that she apparently wouldnt let other workers touch the baby. imo thats kinda weird and not normal and would defo send alarm signals especially to the biological mom.

[@CarolineElanorMcloughlin]

I think the second person was in the right. I think what made them really uncomfortable is the kissing. Kissing her all of her face and then on the forehead in a pandemic. That's not right. Refering to the baby as her baby is also pretty bad.

The second story is definitely a matter of too much attachment, it’s downright creepy and possessive, it’s ok to have a favorite baby in a caretaker job. It’s not ok to quite literally overtake that babies care, be overly affectionate with someone else’s child etc. That caretaker is acting like she’s the babies mom and that is not ok, and to be extra clear that can damage the babies mental state if that affection is not specifically coming from their parents. Especially in these developing years where attachment styles are created. There is a lot of things that could’ve happened, from the baby being kidnapped, the baby getting diseased, and especially the wrong impressions, which have already clearly happened.

I don't blame the first person going straight to selling the house. Its his house and he can do what he wants. But if his problem are the controlling in-laws that he doesn't want a bar of, I would've tried reasoning with his son just one last time before jumping to selling it. Because once you burn that bridge you can almost never get it back. Just making absolute sure that his relationship with his son was becoming unsalvageable.

[@anchormidori7872]

Well, his son didn't hesitate to burn that bridge... What should he have done? His son humiliated and shunned his own parents and sister by excluding them from the wedding, letting his in laws behave like that and even supporting them. Should the dad have waited to try to talk with his son and beg him to let them be at the wedding? Or try to talk him into breaking up with his fiance and her family because they're obviously a-holes? Try to reason with someone who turned his back on his family so easily and didn't care about their feelings? Perhaps they can still salvage the situation in the future and be family again. But what I want to say, if the dad and his family can forgive the son for the pain and humiliation he gave them, then surely the son will be able to get over his dad selling the house. Because obviously, what son did was way worse and will leave a lot of more wounds to heal than what the son will be left with after losing the house that he didn't even own and even had someone else pay the taxes and maintenance.

The worker was being creepy. Besides the COVID thing, you just don't say that it's your baby. You can have a favourite one but you cannot get obsessed or obviously favour a child above other. When you take care of kids you're supposed to be caring to all of them. Even if you might have a favourite, they shouldn't know. The child might have a favourite adult, but the adult shouldn't have a favourite child, that's plain wrong. The lady saying that is dumb, she worked through college, clearly she didn't educate herself about why she shouldn't have an obvious favourite BC she only worked for some time at a childcare and probably bc she needed to, not because she liked it. Firing the worker is too much tho.

8:00, regardless of intentions, the daycare worker should have been aware and trained for working with children, and been taught the various forms of appropriate physical contact; kissing is definitely not one of them. Maybe she was well intentioned, but what she did (maybe the laws are different in certain countries but at least in mine this is not allowed) is considered illegal and working against childcare policies.

[@Musicalsfangirl]

First story, the in-laws sound like gold diggers or narcissists, or both….yeah I’ll go with both. They only seem to see the son as a way of gaining something for their benefit (the house). I wouldn’t be surprised if there is more abuse going on between them and the son. As someone who works in a daycare centre, the second story is NOT OK. Sounds like grooming behaviour or something. Threatening other workers to not touch or hold ‘her baby’ NO!! I would have reported her if she was my coworker. The mum was right to be concerned. I could be that she is going through something, but you still need to respect the professional boundaries when it comes to caring for the children.

[@seiniboo]

The first one is completely in the right. My uncle is exactly like their son and he got influenced by his bad in laws and wife and eventually he started doing everything his wife says like she has told him multiple times to not bring his family to the wedding because she doesnt want us to ruin her special day and much more. If the father ever forgives the son, he'll do this type of wrong stuff again and again. Before getting married this quickly, rather than seeing that is your kid's partner is nice, we first need to see if their in laws are nice because if they aren't, it won't take your son long to change and do the shit that son did in the first story.

[@MysticSarahh]

I think it’s great that at daycare a worker has a favourite that they take extremely good care of. However there’s definitely a line between good care and worrisome. I can definitely see where that mum was coming from with her concern. First off, kissing a baby or child without the parent's permission, especially during a global pandemic, is just wrong. You don’t know the parents and despite what you think, you don’t really know the child. And secondly, if the parent sees the affection as obsessive and even calling the baby "her baby", I can see how the worker might’ve taken the child. It wouldn’t seem weird for the worker to be carrying the child, and when the coast is clear she could’ve brought the child to her car and made a dash for it. You just don’t know so it’s better to be safe than be on the news begging for your child's safe return, and possibly waiting decades to be reunited.

[@snowsarendelledisneylover3673]

Ok but for that 2nd story I went to school for early childcare and we were always told we're not aloud to kiss the babies and kids and we had to interact with all the kids not just one because picking favorites can upset the other kids and they all deserve the same amount of attention so no the mom definitely didn't over react that worker was so in the wrong

Hi from Germany. I am a social worker by profession. And the behavior of the woman in kindergarten is particularly disturbing. Such behavior is addressed in training and must be reported.

[@karaoconnoraliasraidra]

I’m curious about why the son and future in-laws in the first story claimed the parents weren’t good enough for them to associate with. I wonder if it’s some kind of class-based discrimination, like the in-laws are white-collar and the parents are blue-collar, or maybe the parents are from an area considered lower-class (People rag on my town, so I know what that’s like). Whatever the reason, the son and future in-laws sound like pieces of work, to say the least. For that matter, I wonder if the wedding will even happen now that the in-laws know that the son lied about owning the house. The son probably wove them a tale about how financially well-off he was, and now that they know he lied and will be forced out of the house, they’re probably having second thoughts about the marriage.

[@nancyomalley6286]

And if the in-laws are so wealthy, WHY do they need to live in the son's house? They sound like posers!

I personally think they may have coached their daughters to find wealthy husbands to "take care" of their family only.

[@RegularInvader]

The first story made me theorize that the fiancé was possibly taught by her family to find a husband who would be able to "take care" of her and the family. I really don't believe that she fell in love with the son after noticing the house. It sounded like her whole family were heartless gold diggers who did not plan on fending for themselves.

I’m a teacher and yes, you have kids that you really connect with. But when you’re so attached to a kid that you prevent them from interacting with anyone else, then it’s a problem- you’re there to teach all the kids, and the kids are there to learn to socialize and form relationships with multiple people. And pandemic or no pandemic, if it’s not your own kid or close family member, you don’t kiss. That’s just creepy!

um, no. i worked at a preschool and some kids defo got attached to me and i to them, but that is over the top. if the parent is concerned, then the parent's concerns take precedent. that's not your kid and if that makes a parent uncomfortable and creeped out, then stop immediately🤷🏾‍♀️ not letting other workers work w/ the kid is the weirdest thing ab this to me

[@Andrea-lk6qq]

So for the second story... yes it is ok to have a favorite baby, it ISN'T ok to say it is your baby and no one can hold it or care for it and have it be basically the only baby you care for. THAT is over the top and scary and also her not doing her job. ALL of those babies were her care, not just that one baby.

[@VanessaRodriguez-qk8vs]

Wow your dad buys you a house, doesn't charge you rent, then you have audacity to treat them so terribly

[@nyamipon]

Daycare teacher here, it is NOT normal to do that to a baby. Kissing is an absolute NO-GO no matter if there is a pandemic or not. You may have a child you like a bit more than others but it is your job to treat all children the same and have no favourites. OP definitely did NOT overreact. Behaviour like that is completely unprofessional from the teacher.

[@meadowx3038]

i cant get enough of these videos! im always scrolling... scrolling... scrolling... to try and find a video without the red bar below telling me ive already watched it!

[@mindyourbusiness2954]

wow that son was completely wrong treating his family that way for strangers basically! dad has every right to take action as a father myself somethings are unacceptable! the day care worker was being too strict about it being her baby nobody can touch or hold on top of the kisses went way too far in this covid era thats a no no the mother wasn't wrong an i do feel bad the girl was fired but too attached to someone else's child is creepy i mean you want the babies to be treated right an shown love & happiness but too much of anything is still to much! luv'ed the vid Ellen:)

[@willialj]

Why can't people understand that showing favoritism for one child creates neglect for others. The extreme adulation she gave the one child was creepy and unprofessional. They waited WAY too long to fire her...

[@freezefrozefrost]

For the daycare story, the mother was not in the wrong in any way IMO. The DayCare worker shouldn’t have been kissing and cuddling the baby like it’s hers, especially during a pandemic, even if there’s a sad backstory to it or something. She crossed the mother’s boundaries and she shouldn’t have done that, especially after the mother told the worker to stop.

[@spbugs513]

Hi Ellen! Just letting you know i love you and your videos a lot and whenever i see a notification from you i feel happy. It makes me glad that you are in good health, truly wish you the best

Happy 4th of July to you and coco! ♡♡ Thank you for your daily uploads you wonderful human being!!

[@CarlosArturoVelarde]

Maybe the girl got fired due to her reaction after being told the little girl was being moved to another class.

[@mushkbaar]

Everyone is saying daycare workers shouldn't kiss the kids because of covid, but forget that, pandemic or not, kissing a bunch of kids when their parents aren't even around and they're not even old enough to be able to tell if they dislike it is so wierd and kinda gross too.

[@tate_n]

Second story reminded me about Lacey Spears (the Murder of Garnett Spears case) As a child Lacey was obsessed with her dolls and would severely assault anyone who dared to touch them, later she became obsessed with the idea of being a mother. She was fired from several nurseries as she made parents uncomfortable with how obsessed she was with their babies; so she started helping poor single mothers - babysitting their kids for free… Only to pretend she’s their parent, make those kids call her mommy, kidnap them for hours (or even days?) on end, drive them to far away park and present herself as their mother to strangers. Later she found a way to get pregnant and keep father(s) away, to cause her son health issues for Internet likes (she loved the attention she’d receive as a “single poor widow with a sick child”) and eventually caused her son’s death. So while loving kid your babysit, and even have a favorite baby in the nursery you work at is fine, there are healthy lines that should be respected as well as parents wishes and request. That nanny - crossed them all. So OP was right in her desire to protect her kid.

[@redhadoken3172]

The one about the baby... The workers job is to care for all of the babies. If the mother voices completely reasonable concerns to not kiss her all over and hold her all the time and call her her child, the carer should comply. It’s her job, not a play time where she can do whatever she wants, she’s not a baby. She should give all of the kids FAIR treatment (not saying it has to be EQUAL). She crossed a line and didn’t listen after concerns were voiced. Firing was fair enough

[@unavided]

oml I was crying a while ago tyy for uploading this made my night

[@scarletfokx1449]

I was always a favourite when I was in cresh. The women there loved my hair, my skin, my big eyes :l eish I remember other kids being flat out ignored by the day care people and just left to play wherever. Years later in primary school I met a girl I didn't remember but she remembered me and she said we went to the same cresh I went to. I distinctly remembered only my two best friends and since we were in big school I didn't really care about the past since those two kids didn't go to my school after we left pre-school. The thing is, this girl was so sweet and she said she always wanted to be my friend back then but she didn't know how to talk to me because I was always being fawned over by teachers or I was with my group of friends. My group of friends were a different racial group...and thats just how we split up instinctively as kids which made her feel outcasted even as a young child. I felt so bad that I pretended to remember her and played with her and became her friend. I even asked to visit her house (not telling anyone at home that she wasn't my race because they would automatically distrust her family) and I brought money with me to get snacks and movies for the afternoon. We had a good time and we cared about each other through school even though we didn't stay in the same friend group for very long because I already had new friends and so did she, but it really made me happy to make her happy and even today we are still friends even though we don't really talk anymore and she still really cares about me whenever we do have a quick chat on an FB post on someones timeline. I really hope I helped her get rid of the shadow that loomed over her back then.

Your videos are always so amazing! ♥️✨

[@kokitrees7394]

No I totally get why the mom was uncomfortable. Even if that woman was struggling with not being able to have children, or just had a favorite kid at the daycare, it's not healthy for her or the kid to be that creepy and obsessive about it. Like, calling the baby hers and not allowing anyone else to touch her? That's weird. Kissing someone else's baby is already kind of weird, kissing that baby during a pandemic is just irresponsible, and kissing the baby when the parents have asked you not to is very weird.

[@inumaki973]

Damn These stories were one hell of a ride also just wanna say that Girllll u look so pretty like daymmm😭😭

[@RegularInvader]

After a while, I developed a theory on why the son from the 1st story was willing to obey his "new family." I personally believe he never actually liked his fiancé but rather in love with the idea that someone was willing to marry him. The fiancé probably did all kinds of manipulative tactics that made him feel as if she would leave him in an instant if he didn't do nor say anything that she liked. My guess is that he must have had negative dating experience earlier in his life and personally believed the fiancé was "the one" after accepting the engagement. He must have been serious about finally getting a wife, so he just allowed her family to move into that house in hopes they'd "approve" of him. He probably feared he would not have found someone else "just like" his fiancé. If her whole family actually thought he owned the house, they most likely were going to have him pay for the wedding since his parents weren't invited. I would not be surprised if they all left him after the eviction because there's no way they'd want to "keep" him if he didn't have money to begin with.

[@carriemartinez2933]

That second story.... pandemic or not, NOBODY should EVER be putting their lip/ on anyone's baby....EVER!!!! It's not sanitary, babies can pick up anything from that, and it's weird!!!

[@chloejennings8702]

As a childcare worker in the UK, it is against safeguarding policies and regulations to kiss any child

I have one of my kids at childcare that's my favourite too and everyone calls him my son. Now I occasionally called him that too, but I don't go that far to not let anyone else carry him or anything.

[@wj0067]

I don't feel bad about the daycare worker... she is OBSESSED with the child and there are TOO many crazy people out there.

[@nancyomalley6286]

And SIL is too biased to give a fair assessment because she's also a daycare worker (does she do this to the babies at HER workplace?)

[@jessarie98]

The 2nd story immediately made me think of a horror babysitter movie called Emily or something like that (not sure of the spelling)

[@deltanoctis]

The lady who snitched on the daycare gal should've stood up for her kid directly. Going to a director or higher up when speaking about another adult is disrespectful. Talk to the chick and sort her out. Don't get her fired. That lady needs to sit down.

[@peterang6912]

nop, big red flag here.. mom did the right thing..

[@gred_and_forge]

I don't quite agree that this lady didn't deserve to be fired. I was rather happy to hear this as it shows the director took the mom's concerns seriously and didn't just give the girl a warning as I feel would've happened if it had been any other daycare. I'd actually be afraid for the mom and her baby if the girl was given a different room/shift to work; can u imagine if she waited for the mom to pick up her daughter and started accusing her of taking away "her baby" and being jealous?? I feel like the girl might be weird enough to pull something like that. Plus if the mom's concerns are listed as the reason she was fired, it might either open her eyes that her behavior isn't appropriate or she won't cause some other poor parent the same discomfort.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you

[@lizg.m8231]

First story how dare this guy not defend his parents after all they've done for him and not wanting them @ his wedding then asking why they're selling the house when it's not even his house. Parents aren't wrong he should get his own place as his an adult already or what can't he afford to take care of his family? #2 I don't think the mom was wrong about her concerns, and she didn't ask for the girl to fired so who know why she actually got fire if that wasn't what the mom asked? I had been volunteering @ my daughter's headstart since she was four then Elementary and never when on kissing kids that weren't mine you have to be very careful because you never know what kids can say , that you have touched them inappropriately so..better to be safe. Obviously there were all so cute but yeah I don't think the mom was wrong with asking them to stop with this girl kissing her baby and with this pandemic. Boundries people need to understand there are BOUNDARIES for a reason. I wouldn't like no one kissing my kids if they aren't family or if it's ok with me.

I can relate to the first story because this is what is happening with my dad’s house, my uncle my dad’s brother he didn’t work a day in his life and still isn’t working he spends our money like water, he and his wife is still living in my dad’s house and now his stinky in laws are living with him too but we are not welcome there because his wife says this is her house and her parents now, so we are not allowed to go live there anymore and this just pisses me off so bad because they don’t work they just use our money and my dad doesn’t do anything he just says it’s okay his my brother. Ugghh.

[@kurapika4860]

My daycare lady called me her kid so I don’t think the lady was wrong, if you’re going to spend time with a child majority of the day you’re going to get attached, I understand the concern about the covid part and the not allowing other workers to handle the kid. I grew up with my daycare lady and she is a second mother to me, I love her with all my heart and my mom understands that, once the lady wasn’t telling the kid to call her mom It wasn’t that big of a problem

[@peterang6912]

[@maryamshaaban74]

For the second story, I feel the mom's reaction was based on a gut feeling rather than the worker's actual behavior. As someone who babysat for YEARS, I did have my favorite babies and I'd sometimes joke with the mom saying: get yourself a new one, this one is mine now. Some I did feel particularly sad to part with. Maybe the worker lost a baby or couldn't carry one herself but I don't think her behavior here confirms this. I applaud the mom for listening to her gut feeling (although I don't think it has a strong foundation) but she should AT LEAST ask the daycare to bring that worker back or help her find a new job, the poor girl lost her job because liked a certain baby more than the others.

What is the word for how her hair is dyed? I’m trying to find CC for the sims 4 like that but I don’t know what to search for. If anyone finds something that would work, it needs to be compatible with male sims, and I am fine with maxis match or alpha, whatever you find. Edit: I misspelled compatible and it ended up auto-correcting to comparable lol

[@spookymoo5832]

I'm sorry but no, this story has got me so steamed. You do not kiss babies during a global pandemic. You do not slather them in your affection and call them yours. And you do NOT tell a mother how to feel about what she seems appropriate for HER child

[@cassie721]

In the second one, I feel like it depends on the parent, there would be people who wouldn't mind but if a parent doesn't want you to kiss their baby all over then I think you should respect that, it's their child after all... 🤷‍♀️
