Angry Kid Puns

She hates when I call her that.

It was extremely difficult for my kid to come out. Not because of our family or even our community (THANK the fabulous, open minded people who live here), but because of my kid’s own internal struggle with who they are. They didn’t want to be different and they enjoy the attention that comes with conforming.

I love my child. I could not care less the gender of their partner. I do care that they have a healthy relationship with good communication. I came from a shitty mother and I’ve spent my life trying to be better so I can do better.

When they first came out, I did post to Reddit but I did not say a word to anyone irl. I got my kid a little “coming out” pack with their flag, bracelets, hoodie and a blanket so they knew that they were always surrounded with my love.

Anyway, they came out to two friends. Only one is an immature kid who outed my kid. To everyone. And my kid is so sad, so hurt, so scared, so angry and so vulnerable. And there’s nothing I can do to protect them. There’s not putting the cat back in the bag and I’m so glad they’re not trying to deny it and pretend to be something they’re not. But omg, what an asshole this kid is for doing that.

I’m so grateful we live where we do and in this time. My kid is bi and their opposite gender partner is sticking with them and has joined in hating on this child who outed my kid. I know things could be so much worse. But my kid doesn’t know that so for them the world is ending. They are exposed.

So I’m just sitting here with all of my own pent up feelings. I want to do ridiculous things like march to the kid’s house and scream at them like a lunatic. So I’m sitting here on Reddit trying to get my feelings out so I can be present for my kid. I’m so proud of them- they’re doing the right thing. They went right to the school guidance counselor and vented there instead of raging against this child like I want to do. They came to me and I agreed wholeheartedly that this kid is an asshole and did a really shitty thing.

I think I’m going to watch some “it gets better” videos.

Totally random- I love my kid to the moon and back but I totally suck at the name change, even though I’m trying my hardest. Please be patient with old folks’ transition to a new name. It is so much harder than it appears. Every time I screw up I get a chorus of the correct name, but I keep screwing up way more than I’d expect to. It’s like we need to dig really, really deep to flip the switch and it’s like digging into q

Up until this year I've been telling myself I can make it financially, I can live decently if I keep making financial sacrifices.

I've always sacrificed financially, being frugal. I drive a twenty year old car I've had for most about that long, never gone into credit card debt, don't buy expensive toys or go on expensive trips, etc.

I'm happy for the people who get extra money, me included (stimulus check) but I'm single and childless and I just feel more and more I'm screwed, paying higher taxes because of my status to things I'll never get to use (public schools, WIC) , working in a public service job to benefit everyone else and I had to pay for a masters degree to earn that privilege (how many of you have been told many times on your job that you are owned by the person standing in front of you because they pay taxes to the city you work for?)

And now, this stimulus is breaking me emotionally. I am no where near 75k so I do get the stimulus check. But reading people posting that they will get 15k over the next year just because they have kids, a THIRD OF MY YEARLY INCOME, and that on top of over 8k in stimulus checks that also include kids, I don't know why I'm trying to do anything financially any more.

My stimulus check will pay for one month of housing (crappy condo on the fourth floor with paper thin walls). The family living next door will now get to pay for their housing for 15 months.

Yes. I know kids are expensive, but it just doesn't make sense they get their life paid for and I don't.

Most everyone I know who has kids will qualify for these benefits, and they do NOT need it. I wouldn't be so mad if the money were going to people who need it, but giving it to people who already own single lot homes, own two or more cars, are able to fully fund their 401ks, go to Disneyland every year, what the hell??

And what a way to keep driving it home that I don't matter because I don't have kids.

And last I checked, having kids is a choice, why do I have have to pay for them?

Some background information:

I live in a big compound, I have many friends who live nearby, 4 of them, and my brother has some too, one of my little brother's friends is a little kid, I know him, we're allies, and life is good,until that day came

This happened around 3 months ago when I was sitting at one of my friend's porch, my little brother's friend was running, towards me, now the pavement around the porch of every house is a bit short, so there isn't much space. He runs fast, near me, I was holding my phone In an exposing way, making it easy to drop, while he runs infront of me, he hits my phone and it falls on the solid ground. All my friends are silent now, i grab my phone off the ground and I take it to see if there's any cracks and there was a little a huge one on the top right corner.

I get furious, I've owned this phone for over 2 years, and I don't have any money to buy another one, so Me and my friends run to the kid's house, while he cries and begs me and blocks my way hoping to stop me and not to tell his mom, but still, I didn't give up.

I knock at the door and his mom shows up, the conversation goes like the following:

OP: hello ma'am, your son has cracked my phone's screen and-(I get cut off by her)

EM: NO! My angel would never do such thing like that! Show me your phone.

She looks angry, but what's the worst thing she could do? I think, so I gave her my phone and she stares at it for a few seconds until she says:

look, it's impossible that my little precious angel do that, get off my house. (she still has my phone)

My friends start screaming and demanding her to atleast do something about it, big no no...

EM gets angry af and says: LOOK YOU LITTLE PEICES OF SHIT, MY SON HAVEN'T BROKEN YOUR SHITTY PHONE!!! (she then throws my phone on the ground, which made my phone break apart and the screen cable disconnect off the logic board.

we are all in shock, she closed the door, and she went away like nothing even happened.

I had no other choice but to go home running. I tell my dad and he helped with nothing, he said that I shouldnt even bring my phone outside, because there was no need of it.

I currently have no phone, thanks to EM and her shitty ass son. I'm now saving up for the next iPhone coming out in September this year.

My little brother couldn't believe she have done that, and he stopped talking to that spoiled brat and his mother and we never heard of them again.

I never like to speak on this sub, but this is one drama that applies to me (a Muslim) and I want to shut these little kids up.

How many Muslim CCs are there in the MCYT community? I genuinely can’t think of one. So someone saying “Ramadan Mubarak” is amazing. It’s a bit of happiness for us Muslims who don’t get to see many people supporting this community. Especially because it came from someone who isn’t a Muslim.

When people say “He is doing the bare minimum” no he isn’t. He makes Minecraft Manhunts to watch. He isn’t an activist. He doesn’t need to use his platform for good. The bare minimum is him not saying “Muslims are shit” ,not him helping.

And when you say IT IS OFFENSIVE get your dumb little grass deprived brains off of the screen because IT IS NOT. That’s like being offended for me saying “Merry Christmas” because ITS NOT OFFENSIVE! You are in some other world if you find a white man wishing a group that barely gets appreciation offensive.

In another comment (on r/Dreamwastaken) I agreed with a comment that said that you shouldn’t seek messages about religious holidays. And yes that’s true, you should seek appreciation from Dream. But there is nothing wrong with him saying it.

I know this came off as aggressive, but for how much these kids say “You can’t get offended if you aren’t insert minority” well I’m going to defend Dream. And you don’t have the right to get offended by him either you twats.

Okay I needed to get this off my chest bye yall

I put rant but i was VERY humored by what happened.

This morning I was having a nice riding with my stallion, since hes getting fat I'm working with him more lol. So, I got hungry since I started riding him at dawn and didn't eat breakfast, so I stopped at a bakery to eat something. I tied Mor'du (his name) In a place that has an area with trees and green pastures, so he doesn't get antsy.

I go inside the bakery, buy my food, paid for It and go outside. This haven't take no more than 10 minutes, and when I step outside I hear a boy crying, a mother In hysteric holding him and my stallion looking very murderous. A thing that you need to know about him: he HATES males AND kids (my vet that rescued him thinks that's because he was abused before I got him, since he was sold to her because he was not fit for kids - I wonder WHY).

So I approach the scene, the boy (7/8yo?) Is fine, but crying from the shock of the fall (or because his mother was screaming) but fine, and the convo goes like this:
Me: What happened ?
Mombie: (screaming) THIS HORSE TRIED TO KILL MY BABY!!!
Me: Oh, but what did it do ? (trying to sound concerned but laughing on inside lol)
Boy: This horse threw my from his back and tried to kick and bite me
Mombie: THIS WILD ANIMAL NEEDS TO BE PUT DOWN, ITS NOT SAFE TO BE AROUND KIDS!!!
Me: Well, the kid couldn't have climbed on him alone (note: hes a 6ft and ~1300lb animal and I wasn't using a saddle) and I don't see the owner near him to you be sure the animal Is safe with strangers...
Mombie: Well... but It's a hOrSE, It should be friendly, I had horses when I was a kid and none where that meanMe: Well, do you go around petting every dog that you see on the streets ? No, of course, so don't go around putting your kid on an animal that you DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
Mombie: Shocked Pikachu Face

She then tried to get me In trouble, saying I need to put him down, hes a danger to public, but the people who have seen everything told her to f*** off, because they have seen that the kid was screaming his lung outs wanting to ride my horse, and just because he was tied to a tree she thought he was friendly and put her kid without the owner (me) permission. She just took the kid by his arm and started cussing me, saying I'm a bad owner and the horse Is some kind of demon lmao.

Whelp. Its not even midday and I'm tired.Thanks for reading and having a laugh with me, cheers!Edit: heres my asshole of a horse

My little sister and I live in the same city. She goes to college and I’m a SAHM with three kids (3F, 3F, 4M). Her school sent everyone home for online classes last March and it’s been that way since. However, she has a yearlong internship in the city that started in August and she asked if she could stay at my place, which I was fine with. I didn’t even ask her to pay rent because I know all her internship money is going to pay off her student loans. However, since she’s been here full time, we’ve been having a lot of problems with her.

We had a spare guest room for her but it was at the exact opposite end of our house from our router in the basement. She’s been complaining that the internet is not great in there and bugging us about switching with the kids playroom which has a Ethernet port, but my husband and I shut that idea down. We didn’t want to disrupt our kids lives anymore than the pandemic had already done and the guest room is much smaller. We also have a built in white board and LEGO table in the playroom so it wouldn’t be easy to switch rooms.

She does her own chores like her laundry and cleaning her dishes but if I ask her to help cook a meal or to watch my kids occasionally when I need to go run an errand she refuses saying she’s too busy. She doesn’t like children and basically just avoids/ignores my kids at home so it’s weird for them. Final straw was after a month in, she came downstairs one day while my kids were watching tv and running around playing and screamed at us that she was in a meeting and she was sick of us making loud noises all day. I told her she was ungrateful and she need to move out immediately. She tried apologizing afterwards but my husband and I had it with her. We’ve been no contact for about a couple months now and I’m wondering if I’m the asshole?

Beware, kind of long rant ahead. So I live in an arabic muslim country, it isnt that bad its better than a lot of similar countrys but the level of freedom a woman has depends on the level that her father (the man in her life) allows her .( i am one of the lucky ones) now thats out of the way, i till my mom that there is no way hell that i would marry a man from my country (or similar a country at that) , because i wouldnt wanna risk losing the freedom i have ,because men are not to be trusted, not hating on men in general but men here have the power to do literly what ever they want, by law and culture, its hard to find some that are not narcissistic. And even if i find someone that isnt like that i wouldnt wanna risk it, absolute power absolutely corrupts , she would totaly agree with me on that and would be fine with it, she is like dont make the same mistaks she did with dad he is a good man and great father for the most part and i love him but he is a narcissist like most men here, he did something that hurt my mom, but he apologized and mom forgive him (hounstly she didnt have other options, so, she forgave but at least he apologized ) she says she stayed because of us,, will any ways, i say i dont want kids doesnt even let me finsh , she got so upest and angry, and she say kids are great and they are a gift , and then says dont say stuff like or god would punish you by making you infertal, inside im like (i wish, if only it was that easy, am i right). hounstly i find it so funny that she wants me to have kids but ok with me not marrying, as if i wouldnt be killed for having sex out wed lock in country(its actually fucking sad but oh well, you learn to live with it) , which i tell her, she got even more upest and then said she doesnt wanna talk any more and hung up .

Read above.

i just keep waiting for the dad to blow up or I keep thinking the kid is going to get it real bad once they get home. i'm so used to my ndad yelling at me and getting so angry like how someone would yell at a person who called them a slur. his anger just goes to 100.

no capping it because kids don't deserve that anger level.

no repressing anger because its inappropriate to the severity of the situation.

im actually scared of men and scared of dating because of this cuz i feel like once i piss them off very badly, they'll scream and shout without giving a shit about what happens to our relationship and show me their entire anger level.

Wow it's been almost a year. Just remembered this account and thought I'd log in to give an update. In the end I didn't let my brother know of the screenshots until after they broke up (she was pressuring him to get married and he didn't want to). All things considered, 2020 could have gone worse. The twins have adapted well to the many, many changes in school environments this year and I'm so proud of them. I'm also earning quite a lot more this year due to the virus, as more people are crafting.

Seeing how so many people thought I was a leech gave me quite the shock. Honestly I would never stop putting my kids first, and that includes making sure that they have access to everything they need, even if that means accepting money so that they live a better life. But it also made me reevaluate what I'm doing for me, and what would happen in the next 10 years, so I'll be going back to finish my bachelor's (the credits still count!) in the fall this year :)

Thanks for your comments!

So many kids are openly hostile to education. This includes "good kids" who are presumably going to college.

Students just see school as a checklist to be completed with as little effort as possible. I'm not sure what can be done to change that.

BUT YOU JUST NEED TO PLAN ENGAGING LESSONS! I'm sure we could all do a little better at that, but I'm not sure any number of bells and whistles could get some kids to engage more than "How can I get the most points for the least amount of effort."

And, honestly, at this point I'm just happy if they're bothering to try to earn credit!

I met this guy who has a son. This son is around 7 or 8 years old. This guy told me that this kid said something interesting. This kid had said that he wants a baby just so that he could have someone to get angry at and act in a bossy way. Kids all kinds of things, unlike grown up people who censor the stuff they talk. This kid talking about that was just some basic instinct. The instinct to have power over other.

My point is, some people never grow out of this basic instinct to have power of others and dominate them. These people will surely have kids in future, just so that they can command someone. This instinct happens mostly at a sub conscious level I guess. In today's era, where people no longer have joint families, where families are mostly nuclear, such people get all the power to act like a boss around the children. Nobody is around to even question them.

Whatever that kid said, or for that matter any kid says is mostly not so interesting to me. Parents, who are seemingly intelligent lose it when it comes to stuff about their children. They feel like their kids said something nobel prize winning worthy even when it is something very common or trivial which the kids said.

Seriously, almost every accident I’ve seen commuting has been from someone cutting another off or a road rager. But maybe that’s anecdotal.

I had “childfree” and “I don’t have nor want kids” in my profile and everything. I don’t know how hard it is to read a short blurb on an app, but some either ignore it and then their kid comes up when we first connect OR they withhold that they’re a parent and wait until I’m a captive audience on a date putting me in the uncomfortable and awkward position. Just be honest and stop getting so gd upset when I reiterate I don’t want any fucking kids!!!

In the 1972 film The Heartbreak Kid (later remade into a worse Ben Stiller movie), a man falls in love, gets married, and quickly regrets it. In fact, he falls in love with someone else on the honeymoon.

As it turns out, the movie has been remade again -- only this time with Minnesota exec Gersson Rosas in the lead role. After taking over the Timberwolves, Rosas decided to retain likable young coach Ryan Saunders -- and quickly regretted it. He ditched his new bride right after a disastrous honeymoon, and fell in love with someone else: Toronto assistant Chris Finch.

The timing of the move is strange, unpredictable, and exceptionally rare. Teams are reluctant to fire coaches in midseason, and when they do, they almost always promote an interim coach from inside the organization. Occasionally (as with Sacramento and George Karl) you'd dip into the available coaching pool instead. But hiring an assistant who is currently employed by someone else?? I've never seen it in my lifetime. Apparently the last time this happened was 30+ years ago.

It looks bad. It's been criticized left and right -- from everyone to media pundits to NBA players to fans here on reddit. But timing aside and optics aside, I still believe this is the best course of action for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Here are some reasons why.

Why firing Ryan Saunders was the right move

When Ryan Saunders was promoted to head coach, many blasted it as a "nepotism" hire. Saunders was best known for being the son of Flip Saunders, a beloved figure in Timberwolves' lore. Sure, the kid had worked as an assistant for 10 years, but that first job came via his dad.

That simple characterization (nepotism!) may be unfair. And in fact, nepotism isn't that bad of a thing professionally. If your dad is a basketball coach, there's a good chance he's taught you a lot about the game. He's taught you a lot about the business. It's not an easy profession to get involved in otherwise. Oftentimes, the path to coaching comes about two ways: either you're a former athlete or you're the son of a coach. Those father-coaches aren't always in the professional ranks, but can be high school or college as well. The Harbaugh brothers' dad was a coach. The Van Gundy brothers' dad was a coach. Bill Belichick's dad was a coach. The list goes on and on.

The trouble with this particular hire wasn't how Ryan Sa
