If someone names their child after you it's because they want to, NEVER because you asked them to. Not to mention, if you're the kind of person who throws a fit bc someone didn't name their kid after you you're not the kind of person who deserves a namesake

I wonder if some parents are too shy or uninformed to teach their kids about their bodies and some school districts are hesitant to take on this matter, so I guess this shouldn’t surprise me, but it troubles me.

[@melissafisher1448]

My mother-in-law begged me to ORDER my doctor to induce me early, so I could have my baby on her daughters birthday. I said no, it's not safe to induce that early and I want to wait until the baby comes naturally. She told me that diesnt matter and that I can induce labor myself by drinking castor oil. I told her no, but she was relentless. My husband told her no also, but she kept pouting and acting like we were being mean to her. This is just one small instance we had to deal with from her. The list is long and gets so much worse than this. Thankfully we went no contact from her years ago, I never knew what a narcissistic was. She taught me. We are so much happier now. ♡

I had a “friend” who would constantly ask for my belongings, at every visit to my home. He had a much higher paying job and could afford to buy his own things. He would insist that I should give him my things for free and gaslight me, why was I materialistic and selfish for daring to keep my own purchases. It was so bad that I would hide favourite belongings prior to his visits. He would immediately look around in my home and snoop and if he didn’t find something that caught his eye, he would ask: do you have anything new since I last visited your home? One time I replied: Yes, I bought a new teacup to replace the one you made me give you last time - and he asked to see it (I thought it was safe because he already took my teacup last time and surely wouldn’t begrudge me having one for my own use) and he actually had the audacity to ask if he could have this one as well. As a single person I never purchased items in sets, but would buy one offs, so it’s not like I had spares. He never agreed to cover the cost of anything, even when I tried to tell him where he could buy his own - why should he when he could bully me into giving it to him for free (I always tried to say no, but he’d wear me down). I remained friends with him long past his sell by date, because he kept saying that I was his only friend and he didn’t know what he would do without me; but thankfully I have since successfully cut him out of my life and no longer need to safeguard my household belongings.

[@laiatezenas3300]

I've a younger sister like this. If I say "no", she will straight up take my stuff. Unfortunately, it has to do with how she was raised: our parents thought it was "cute" when she was little, so they'd push me to let her steal my stuff with words like "Oh but it's because she admires you. It's a compliment". She is now 26 years old and I've had to put up locks in my bedroom for when she comes over 🫠 Just as in your story, I hurriedly hide anything I would hate to "lose". Good thing you cut off your "friend". I hope that one day my sister will ✨learn✨ 😅 But I fear the day she'll have kids and act as entitled as the pin-and-button mom 🥹

My lil sis was an animal hoarder on a sense. Ever since she was a teen she would find “stray” puppies and kittens. Always puppies or kittens, never full grown animals, which is what makes me question whether they were actually strays. HOWEVER, she could never take care of them. So inevitably they would end up at my dad‘s house where he would be responsible for them. She did not live with him but our lil bro did because our dad was blind and needed aid. When my dad passed, she threatened to take all the animals to the shelter because “lil bro isn’t responsible enough.” Even though him and our dad had been the only ones taking care the animals. I called all animal shelters in the area to ask if they could call me if any animals came in matching these names/descriptions. Sure enough, she tried to take them when my bro was at work. Thankfully, they called me and I went and picked them up. That I paid to have all of the microchips transferred to his name instead of our dads.

Ive been in a similar situation to the cat one, except my mother was responsible and caring. Five cats were involved, and we talked it out like adults and did what was best for the cats, not us. Three came with me, and two (even the one i got for passing my GCSES and had had for 15 years) stayed with my mother as it was in their best interest. Both cats lived to over 20 and i saw them on a regular basis. Everyone was happy and cared for. I still continued to pay for their veterinary care, as they would always be my responsibility. My mother paid for everything else. Of course i got things like toys and treats, and new foods, but both preferred my mother to me, and i would never have removed them from her simply because they were mine. that would have been unfair on them.

I also had my brother’s childhood cat. I’d already had one (Bunny), my sister had Pepper, and when a neighbor boy brought an injured kitten to us because his mom had a big dog, my brother convinced my mom that he wanted a cat too.

If they say no, also cool. It is their choice, you don’t get everything you want just because you’re a parent/ child. Kids don’t just “deserve” to get whatever they want because they’re kids. Kids deserve to learn that they can’t always get what they want and to be taught how to effectively manage their emotions when they can’t have something that they want. Teaching your kids the reality of life and how to manage their emotions and accept normal disappointments is the gift that keeps on giving. Do your kids a favor and don’t cripple them with entitlement that will only make their lives more difficult than they need to be.

My first baby was 11 days past the due date. I finally went into labour but as he was so big(9lbs 14oz) I couldn't get him out and ended up having a C section after 36hours of trying to get him out myself. So when I was about to have my second baby, he was already showing up as being big at 36weeks. The Doctor/Consultant said I could be induced into labour early at 38weeks. He said just try 12 hours labour and then a C section if needed. I said can't I just have the section without labour, cos we already know I'll never get him out unaided and he said YES! So I kinda did pick the day of my second son's birth but that's NOT really how it works, in general. Second son was only 9lbs but could have been around 11lbs if I had gone over due again.

I don’t remember if a parent asked for anything of mine for their child, except for maybe a wave to the backseat of the car where the children were, which was lovely for all of us.

I had almost the opposite scenario with my Mom and my first son - I named him after both of my Grandfathers (although the name they used and the one I chose for my son was neither of their actual birth names 😅) and she replied “I don’t think I’M ready for that (her Father had passed when I was 4 months pregnant). I simply told her “I’m very sorry to hear that, but that is the name we have chosen”. Also… I had to “hold in” my second son for about an hour because (sorry for TMI - stop reading if “birth stuff” isn’t for you - no shade, just FYI) after they broke my water he decided he was READY!! and crowned within 30 mins!! The Dr was still at his practice about a 15 min drive away, so the nurses told me to do my best to not push. That 45-60 mins felt like an ETERNITY - I’m truly mortified by the fact that that woman was asking her daughter to endure 3 days of that to suit what they wanted!! I don’t know… I would never ask my child to go through pain just to suit my selfish (delusional) wishes. Doesn’t sound like the kind of unconditional love that a parent and child should share - IMHO.

*Cat story:* No one is the AH for wanting the cats, that is only natural. But love for an animal is not enough reason for having them stay with you. You need to keep in mind what is best for the animals. There are a few questions you need to ask yourself: 1. Am I able to look after the cats and their needs? 2. Do I live a lifestyle that is suitable for having cats? (Travelling a lot or being away from home for long hours is not optimal. Also, some cats don't like dogs or children.) 3. Can I afford paying for the cats, their food and their vet bills? 4. Is my home suitable for the cats? (E.g. cats used to outdoor access will not be happy in a small apartment.) 5. Will the cats be happy living with me and away from the other person? Judging by OP's story, OP is best suited to have the cats. OP's mum may spend more time with the cats and they may be happy in her home, but the mother can't even pay her own bills and is unable to look after the cats' health needs.

I used to have a hotwheel in the package pinned up on my cork board in my office. Every time a client brought a kid with them the kids would ask if they could have it. And when I said no followed with “but toys are for kids”. Thankfully I never had a parent try to back that up.

MOTHRA! 🥰 Sorry, momentary nerdgasm. 😁 I haven't even finished listening to the story yet, but I already know there are some incredible crafts folk on sites like Etsy, and depending on what sort of pin the OP is talking about they can get pretty darn pricey. I mean I get it (not the entitled BS part), I may or may not have paid $130AUD to get an out of print copy of Eureka Film's limited edition 4K box release of the original 1961 Mothra movie. 🤫

Cat story: I can understand the mom wanting to keep something (general term bc it's not always or even usually a pet) that reminds them of a lost parent. My mom was robbed of memoirs and it hurt her a lot. THAT SAID, this is a living creature, and one I'm sure poster cares about just as much, and (given the details provided) seems to be more willing to provide the best care

[@lacey892]

As a parent this is crazy to me. The most 'entitled' thing i've ever done was use a pillow from walmart for my kid to sleep in the cart and then put it back w/o paying. Some people really are wild.

My father in law keeps saying he hopes the baby comes on his birthday, which is days after my due date and the day before my wedding anniversary. We have no control (unless you schedule a c section) of when our child decides to come. I was personally born 16 days after due date. Only 4% of births are on the due date.

[@ChristinaMoralesMindfuqed]

Right. The worker needs to grow up.😂😂Not the mother.

[@piratejennish42]

If she has a rabies certificate with her name on it, the cats belong to her legally. Where I live cats aren't licensed, so no connection to the state/city.

[@Marina-Arena]

"Let me know what you think about these stories below. Have you ever been told to hold in your baby?! {Laughs} Let me know" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stephaniebateman2637]

I hate family names. It feels like the kid doesn’t have their own identity. It’s like you’re attaching them to that other person forever. It’s bad enough that my dad picked my name and we don’t get along anymore. I can’t imagine being named after him or my grandparent. No thank you.

[@thephalange8630]

My due date was set 3 days after my mother in laws birthday and when she found out she started laughing and said "aawww imagine he would arrive for grandmas birthday?" And we all laughed. That is the only thing though I have ever heard anyone say, I think it's a normal reaction xD but asking your own daughter to "make it happen" on a specific date is absolutely insane 🤦🏻‍♀️ wtf

Not a parent, but my neighbor has a large street parking spot in front of their house, where my apartment building has kind of a small space, and there are five or six cars that park here. The neighbor also parks an SUV in their side yard - right next to my side porch and front door - and have recently started parking a big pick-up truck there, too. The neighbor came up to me and asked me to park five or six feet back from the start of the curb in front of my apartment so that he has room to get out. At first, I said yes. Why not? But then I realized he really shouldn’t need the space in front of my building when he has plenty of his own? So I started parking closer to the start of the curb - allowing space for more cars of my neighbors in my building to park behind me - and the next-door neighbor asked me to move again. I said no, that he seemed kind of entitled to think he should have all that space, and it’s not fair to ask any of us to move so he can have more. Well, he has since mowed his lawn at 5:30 in the morning and called me an asshole unprovoked. Neighbors are so fun. 🤮

[@zekaay]

If the baby comes, it comes, there is nothing to hold in, wtf, that is not how that works.

[@tahneegilbert8682]

My son got stuck and i needed an epidural, while they were giving itnto me inwas asked to stop pushing... You can't. Your body does it. Its horrible! Asking someone to wait an extra three days is insane, on the other side of thay, what if she went well past her due date? I was 8 days past mine!

[@Dante-ly666]

Woah the pregnancy one is just so gross sounding... That's also very dangerous to hold in labor and giving birth, very gross for the father to tell his daughter to name the baby his name when she's been holing the baby for 12 months 😭🤦why!? That's truly entitled and not normal

[@karenmichael5483]

Yeah, NO, I can't have my child on demand. I've had 3 and the first one went 2 1/2 weeks over, completely in another month and on LABOR DAY 😂❤

[@itsellie3]

Interestingly enough I have been told to hold in my baby by a nurse when there was an emergency in the room next to me. There was no staff or doctors to deliver my baby so I had to hold him in for 45 mins 😂

[@dogmeet]

I love the style of your videos with the stock video, very easy watching and listening :D

[@livhowyouwant]

Was on a binge watching marathon of your brother's videos when I saw you posted a new one haha hilarious timing 😂

[@MyselftheElf]

Hey, I got my Early Childhood degree ages ago, & do remember a story about holding the baby in past due and contractions And it was in reference to someone doing it for their hubby's birthday, and that they significantly cut off oxygen to the baby while doing it Don't remeber how long she lasted, but I don't recommend it..obvi

[@stina9659]

The cats isnt chiped yet???! Why.... red flag, do they ever have the vet and food ect that they need?!

[@peytondeasy4528]

The question about someone asking for mom to hold in baby, YES I have been told this. My second born was already half of her head out and my ex-husband started screaming at me to "hold the baby in for another hour so she would be a st. Patrick's day baby", It was 11pm march 16th for context on him screaming at me. BUT while he was screaming this at me, the delivery nurse was yelling at me to "hold the baby in so the doctor has time to get there" while she was trying to force my daughters head back inside, at this point when nurse is trying to push my baby back inside me, my baby was already about to the elbows out so halfway about!!!! The doctor showed after she was born and I had already done the hour of skin to skin after birth & he raised hell with the nurses for not calling him as soon as I was checked into the hospital since I was there all of 30-40 mins before my daughter was completely birthed & the nurses didn't listen to me when I told them to call him while I was omw to the hospital since I knew Dr lived a ways away from hospital. Needless to say that last birth traumatized me so much that after only 2 child & being 21 I got the tubal litigation surgery & can't have any more babies😢 BUT YES IVE HAVE BEEN SCREAMED AT BY MY EXHUSBAND & DELIVERY NURSE TO HOLD THE BABY IN.

[@Mrs_Sugar_Min]

My Mom regrets naming my brother after my Dad.😊

[@Laura_Lawson]

I’m really enjoying this editing style for this video! 💜

[@iloovemusicsoo]

HAHHA imagine asking someone to give birth on a specific day! Like that is something you can control. It is very normal to go “over time” with the due date however 😂

[@malindastevens1016]

I wasn't asked to hold in my older daughter but I was due for her on February 20th, and my midwife decided that if I didn't go into labor by then she would induce me on the 16th. Well my daughter's paternal grandmother joked saying I should ask to be induced on the 14th instead, after all it's only two days prior. Well my daughter must've heard because I ended up going into labor at 5:30AM on the 14th and had her via c-section at 7:35PM that same day LOL

[@iamastrangeloop9204]

[@kristinkemplen2063]

My mother is an extremely entitled narcissist. She has been a terrible mother, to the point that I was more of a parent to her. I was abused and neglected thru my childhood and blamed for everything my (also entitled and abusive) little brother did, and she still does. A few months ago, she had a stroke, which caused her to lose the ability to walk. Although my brother lives with her, he's lazy and doesn't do shit (her fault). So she asked me to come over and help out. Despite our strained relationship, I figured she is my mother. My brother ended up getting jealous about me and my mom talking, although he's with her all day every day and NEVER contacts me unless he wants something. He starts verbally abusing me and calling me things that I don't want to repeat and saying he wished I would die. My mother GETS MAD AT ME for defending myself! I'm almost 40 years old and I'm there to do for her what she never has and never will do for me! Then she begs me not to leave, but to stay and take care of her. But proceeds to lie to my Mom Mom and other people in the family about what happened, to the point that my Mom Mom wouldn't talk to me, and even blocked me for a bit. Now she's in a nursing home and has begged me to let her live with me and take care of her. I can't stand talking to her for any length of time. And she has the nerve to get mad at me for not visiting her earlier in the day so she could smoke ( although she's apparently allowed to go any time of day). She manipulated me into opening her window and giving her her purse to smoke in the room! I said if she does that i was leaving- I just got there- and she proceeded to take out a cigarette. I said fuck you to her and left... just to come home to the abusive bum that she convinced me to stay with! FML! Why does everyone in my life just use me and then hurt me and give me nothing in return but pain?!

[@melissaselenebeauty]

Hellloooo!! Happy Thursday 🖤 okay true story...a girl I know was furious that her sister named her son using a family name that would have the girls name had she been a boy. But she wasn't so...yknow not her name. But she was mad her sister "stole her name". For some reason this video reminded me of that story.
