The psycho druggie needs to go!
Mom would be out as soon as she said she deserved it. But thatās just me
Iād be flipping my shit. If she did it as a silly trying to have fun thing, I get it. My sister and I used to do that to each other or run into the bathroom and turn the water to cold. But if she did it to be mean then it is time to go mama bear mode
Iād be more upset she went into the bathroom where my 10 year old was showeringā¦ privacyā¦ but the water isnt as big of a deal. Personal space isā¦
Everyone has different humor, but the fact that your child says it hurt and just wasnāt funny to her at all makes it wrong, everyone is in their own right to feel however they want, talk to your mom about this and tell her to stop if she doesnāt look for a home for her or other options if itās affecting your life in a bad way, hope this helps!
Okay, you are in the shower, with warm to hot water and 'in your own little world of thoughts, or whatever. The fact that suddenly someone or something just entered your space is fright enough then another temperature water is poured on you, Of course, there is going to be a reason for more fright. If you live with someone who springs practical jokes just out of the blue and you accustomed to it that is one thingā¦this case does not suggest this situation at all. Something is the matter here.
In my experience of giving shelter to homeless people, and now as a landlady it is next to impossible get someone out in some states, I don
Okay so this is my opinion.
It seems like you have a lot more issues with your mother you canāt just kick her out because of that? If she is toxic and is a bad influence around your children then thatās a different story. Yes Iāve done this to my children and husband itās not a big deal itās just water š¤· it just seems to me that thereās more to the story then just a water prank. Whatever she said after doing it was probably on her defense because you said something to make her feel some type of way. Maybe maybe not?Āæ? Hope all gets better.
Iād be throwing all her shit outside
Doesnāt sound like she was playing around. Saying she deserved it sounds like a punishment, not a prank. If she is toxic, it could escalate. If you feel you need to kick her out for your childās safty, then do it. Kids always come first.
If sheās toxic, you donāt want that around your kid, whether sheās your mom or not. I had to make a decision like this years ago but in the long run it was best for everyone
Your children come first. I wouldnāt hesitate to kick someone out and/or cut ties if they mistreated my child/ren.
The water hurts??HA Oh sheās good at pulling the strings of her momās heart she ten not 5ā¦what if the daughter was being disrespectful and the mom doesnt correct her behavior and the grandma warned her what was gonna happen if she kept acting rude then she expected it I feel like the mom is purposely leaving out the grandmaās side. God says to always honor your parents that goes for grandparents too. Although I donāt agree with that punishment ( the corner works better) I would be upset if some one laid hands on my kid but I donāt let me kid be disrespect to her elders. Period. If the mom did her job and make sure her daughter wasnāt disrecptful this wouldnāt happen.
So according to the post your mom threw a glass of cold water on your kid in the shower and it burned her??? And she is 10 and cried???
It seems like yall are wanting to kick her out but using the daughter as an excuse.
If this happened when you were home, what could happen when you arenāt home? Your child is scared. She canāt even shower in privacy. Her needs came first the moment you brought her into this world. Your mom should have realized this. If she is not willing to do as you say and follow your parenting guide lines for your child in your home them she needs to go. Your childs safety, mental and physical health come first.
She might be your mother but she is no grandmother if she thinks your daughter deserved it without a warning. I wouldnāt want a toxic grandma around my kids (I hate my baby daddyās mother with a passion. Threatened to hurt me and take my daughter away. Luckily she canāt because she doesnāt wanna get a job because sheās lazy and only wants to spend time with her druggie homeless boyfriend.) Anyways, itās a choice between her or your kids. If she isnāt getting better and doing things to your daughter, who knows what she else does when you arenāt there or looking. Kids come first before anything else.
Dont let anyone ever hurt ur kids .
Allowing a drug addict to move in with you is enabling. Help her find a Transitional Living Home and get her out.
Report her for abuse, if you donāt and you know this you risk losing your children. Sheās lucky she didnāt get her ass beat !! If your daughter said it burned she very well could have put a chemical in it to burn or irritate the skin.
My dad did that to my brother as a water prank. Iām sorry your little girl was startled. Thatās horrible. Talk to your mother & confront her.
Yes it is totally ok to kick her out . Sheās harassing your child . Sheās grown she can figure something out .
to say she deserves it means it wasnt a prankā¦
Its hard when its your mother but your child comes firstā¦
Even if your mom has to live on the streets for your child to feel safe, etc then thatās what has to happen.
Believe me, I understandā¦my mother has many issuesā¦ We tried helping and no matter what we didā¦ we were always the bad ppl, she caused so many issuesā¦the line she crossed and it was the first and only time was when she grabbed & dug her nails into my daughterās wristā¦ I filed for a restraining order and havenāt spoke to her in almost 5 yearsā¦
even if its family, if the person is toxic then they need to be removedā¦ u guys will be much happierā¦
Sry for all the info but wanted to let you know I completely understand your position
Water challenge maybe ? You & your kid are overreacting
Are you sure it wasnt a prank? She was in the shower it wouldnt of burned her skin Iāve had ice cold water dumped on me it doesnt freaking burn you and your child are being way over dramatic
Wowā¦ I see alot of ppl saying she and her 10 year old daughter are over-reacting or being over dramaticā¦ That completely baffles me. While it may not have actually āburnedā her, while in the shower under hot/warm water, suddenly and unexpectedly feeling something cold can shock you into thinking it burns. Either way she reacted perfectly normally, the grandmotherās actions were not warranted and in my opinion seemed as if she was just being mean. If my mom or anyone else for that matter decided my son ādeservedā any type of āpunishmentā and I didnāt agree with it or give permission for it to be acted upon that person would be gone in a heartbeat. Sorry not sorry but my son will always come first.
my mum would be straight out the door
Iād kick her to the curb.
1āwhat was your mother doing in the bathroom when your daughter was showering, and 2ādo you not see this is abusive behaviour? Maybe the poster is immune to it, having been raised in this womanās home but itās not right and definitely NOT ok. Sheād be shifted out of my home for invading my childās privacy and doing that.
The worrying part is the āshe deserved itāā¦
Definitely a hard decision to make! And only you can make it. I personally used to do this crap with my siblings because We thought it was funny. Not that that justifies the situation, but maybe ask mom why she did it? If mom has been causing problems Iād talk to her and let her know sheās on thin ice and needs to chill out or have to find somewhere else to go.
Protect your child at all costā¦ period.
The fact you even have to ask is unnerving.
Id tell her its time to go. You raise ur child not her. Smh.
Why did she even go in bathroom , why wasnt door locked why is she there if she poses a threat to your child also if she poured cold water on her how did it burn her . It definitly can shock you . Also you cant help someone who doesnt want the help and who isnt helping themselves. Mother or not your kid comes first
You and your childās well being is what is most important. If she is having a negative effect on you both she needs to go. You can only help but so much, you tried.
Just because she is Mom doesnāt mean you have to put up with bad behavior. I know how conflicting it is to want a mother in your life but have a toxic relationship with yours. Unfortunately for her your children come first. Put her out and love her from afar.
How did cold water burn??? But yeah thatās still not okay thatās being malicious
How did it burn her skin?
Sounds like they both need to grow up.
Kick her out! That is some narcissist crazy ass shit. How much torture are you willing to put your child through for someone?
Iād be saying bye bye mom. Your number one priority is your child.
Goodbye mom. That is abuse to your daughter, your job is to protect her. Whether or not this actually hurt her physically, it hurt her emotionally. Your mom is out to torture your child because she wants to be the child.
Have you set clear boundaries with your mom? She overstepped for sure but without clear boundaries she may not understand where you stand with her behavior. Set boundaries then kick her out if she doesnāt adhere to the boundaries.
Ok wait a minute was your mom doing this to be mean? We used to do this as teenagers. I lived in a house with two sisters and a single mom. We used to do this as a prank. No way it could burn. Itās shocking but no different then jumping in a pool or lake.
I am sorry but get mom outside help away from your child.
Kick her the fuck out!!!
Um how does cold water burn??? Sounds like mom was just trying to have some fun with her .
It sounds like your mom was just trying to have a little fun. My kids do this to each other all the time. As well as put tape on the sink sprayer in the kitchen so when you turn the water on you get sprayed all over. My husband joins in on the pranks as well. Itās just the relationship they have built with each other.
What was her reason for doing that or was it just completely random?
Throw a pancake at her and see how she likes it and tell her to to get tf out lol
Iām sure it didnāt burn her skin if it was cold water. Was she playing around? Or was it her intention to make her cry? Sounds like you need to sit and have a talk with your mom and she needs to apologize to her grand daughter. I would make a decision from there unless she is really causing that much havoc in your house then she would have to go somewhere else
Kick the crazy ass mom out!
That seems odd to me she did it for no reason. Plus my 10 year old would be mad someone walked in on them as they are showering. Iād tell your mother how it is and would highly consider kicking her out. If another issue happens then itās time to go. Not called for!
I do this to my kids all the time and they do it to me the same, in our house itās a joke. BUT if itās not acceptable in your house that is ok too. Your house, your call.
Geez. My husband and I are always throwing cold water on each other. Itās suppose to fun and games. Itās something we laugh about. I wonder if the grandma was just trying to have fun.
Was she joking around with her ? Or is there more to the story
Kick her ass out. She is grown and can take care of herself. Disrespectful assā¦
For starters who gives her the right to determine what the child deserves. also my question is why is she in the bathroom and your 10 year old daughter is taking a shower that is creepy I would be mad as hell if thereās not a problem like someone heard a loud thump the child had screamed or called for you there is no reason for her to be in there. On top of that you canāt help somebody who doesnāt want to help themselves and obviously that woman doesnāt want to help herself she wants to blame others for her issues and take it out on others such as your small child. there are other ways to help her besides having her in your house like an inpatient treatment for people with addiction issues and mental health issues. honestly this is doing more damage to your child and your family to have her there I would ask her to leave since she is basically abusing your child that is abuse. She has no reason to be correcting your child in that manner if she has a problem she needs to talk to the child and talk to you not just pour cold water on them when theyāre in the shower. She is literally abusing your child because she is unhappy with herself and I would not allow it and the woman is creepy for needing to be in the bathroom with a 10 year old they are capable of going to the bathroom and bathing themselves on their own unless they scream are you hear a loud crash or thump aināt no reason to go in there
Kick her Ass Out NOW !!
an addict who is using is dangerous around kids. You cannot help her go into recovery. The sooner you get her out of your home the better. My daughter is an addict and when she got clean she said only when an addict is at bottom with nobody who will enable the disease then there is where recovery will start.
Everyone getting cought up in the cold water burning, and not focusing on a grown ass woman poured cold water to be mean on a child. Maybe the kid was so upset she couldnāt articulate what she meant. Goodness
Was she actually doing it to be mean? Cause we mess with each other hard in my house as a joke! Weāve all thrown cold water or had it thrown in us, flour, jump scares, hiding spidering knowing Iām terrified of them. But its all in fun here. Before you kick her out find out her true intent! But if it was to be mean then yea she should go, I cut my mother out of my life completely 5 years ago because she was toxic, you do need to protect you and yours just make sure you understand what was truly going on.
We used to prank each other like that. Was she joking? It doesnāt damage you.
Set mom down and tell her howās its gonna be if she stays. Itās your house, your kids, and your rules. And sometimes people cannot be helped, donāt make it your mission to try too, while your kid is being harmed.
Kick that monster out! I hate seeing post like this!!! If someone treats your kids shitty they have to go! This isnāt even a question that should be asked.!
What a bitch!!! She deserved it?? Thatās soo wrongā¦i mean my fiance and my kids and I all mess around and pour ice cold water on eachother when we are taking hot showers but we know its coming possibly and think itās funny. That is so uncalled for from a grandma with mean intentions. I say tell her thereās the doorā¦buh bye!!!
Was she being cruel or was she attempting a prank that didnt go over well? Either way, Iād find mom a rehab and tell her itās either rehab or sheās no longer welcome in your lives
Was she trying to prank and joke? We do this all the timeā¦ literally had ice water thrown on me. It doesnāt burn. Sounds dramatic as preteen girls can be. Maybe not kick mom out over this. Call a family meeting clarify the purpose first. If it was spiteful then she goes. If it was jkingā¦ ok game onā¦ time to retaliate on granny
My parents used to throw cold water on us kids while we showered all the time just fucking aroundā¦ but it sounds like this was just the straw that broke the camelās back. If you donāt want her there kick her out.
My parents did this to me as a kid. They thought it was funnyš¤·š¼āāļø (no I have not nor will I ever to my children)
Your mom sounds toxic ā¦ what sort of grown women pours cold water on on a child showering Instead of talking to them like an adult ā¦ u donāt need that n ur house ā¦ give her the boot
What was her reason?
I agree with others this is a standard prank in our house, but we donāt know the backstory or boundaries youāve set. Your house your rules, but maybe family counseling to establish boundaries and open communication among everyone is best.
Was it for a joke? Just asking because my 13 year old and I have done this as a joke to each other for years. Itās one of the most common pranks ever. You have to be able to take a joke though. It doesnāt actually burn your skin, itās just a burst of cold water that takes your breath away for a second. Itās usually done in humor.
Choose your child before ANYONE else
Sounds like a prank
The cold water probably wouldnāt be a big deal if the mother wasnāt already causing problems with the 10 year oldā¦
If shes causing you nothing but problems Iāll kick her ass out. Especially pouring water on your daughter for no apparent reason and saying she deserves it.
There are low income appt. around and she have to apply for one. This a type of abuse .
Iām no contact with my mom because she is toxic, mentally ill and abused me my whole life so if it weāre me Iād yeet her right out the house. I have very low tolerance for toxic behavior and the thing is we only get so many trips around the sun and Iām not putting up with that shit
Wow really I read some of these comments. Look my kids and I do this to each other and my parents did it to us has kids. Itās all fun and games. I would talk to your mom and daughter and find put what the underlying problem is
Find out if she was just playing , we do that , maybe she was an your 10 year old has taken it as being mesn
Kick her ass out if shes cusing you problems with your daughter and so on dont look back to
Um. Find a way to get her the hell out of there. Your daughter is not safe PERIOD
Sounds like a prank. People these days are too sensitive to their kids. BUT then again if sheās been causing problems Iād sit her down and talk about it.
If it was just her being nasty then I wouldnāt allow that around my child no matter what the circumstances.
However Iād just ask her if it was a prank and thatās why she did it. It used to happen to all of us when we were kids just as a joke.
kick her out NOW. so what if sheās your mom. your kids come first. she needs to learn some respect!
Iād definitely kick her out. This is my kids home, not their grandmothers.
Iād kick her out. But thatās just me.
My husband done that to me ONCE. I was ready to start swinging on his assš
Kick her out. Allowing her to stay and abuse your daughter because sheās your mom isnāt right for fair for your daughter.
Sounds like sheās on drugs again
No logical clean person would do that.
Yes kick her out.
Way too many red flags. Past drug problems, doesnāt take responsibility for herself, has nowhere to go.
You are preaching to the choir. Your mom needs to move out immediately. It is not your job to raise your mother. At what point does it become enabling?
I do this to my sister. Itās a prank. We do it to each other. If itās that big of a deal and sheās causing issues as is tell her to leave.
Nope her shit would be in the yard and the cops coming to arrest her for assaulting my child ā¦
Lol you have to ask? Your children come first always. Thatās abuse. Thatās petty manipulative childish abuse. Your mom seriously needs help no joke
Kick her ass out! Sorry. Thereās no excuse for that. Sheās gotta go.
You are your daughterās voice and her protector tell your mom sheās got to go
I wouldnt let anyone torment or mistreat my child, put that bitch out!!
Yeah sheād be gone. Kids over parents any day.
My ex use to throw cold water on me in the shower because he thought it was funny.
I threw some very hot water on him while in the shower. Letās say he never poured cold water on me again.
