- Äas pĆidĂĄn 25. 07. 2024
- r/AmITheA**hole OP has an incredibly toxic mother-in-law who is always snooping around in OP's home and interfering with her private life. She even steals OP's engagement ring under the pretense that she's getting it cleaned. OP decides to turn the tables on her mother-in-law by telling her that the ring is cursed! OP's grandma performed an ancient Brazilian ritual on the ring to curse anybody who steals it. The mother-in-law is so dumb that she believes it, and the ring suddenly reappears the next day.

MIL: *"I got into a minor car accident because of your cursed ring!!"*
Did she unintentionally admit that she took the ring for herself?
She wasn't smart nor sly to begin with.
@@audreym3908 Even when she tries to be a thief, she still sucked at it.
*curb your enthusiasm*
@@dracko158 If I ever have a Mother in law like that I would her that if she ever touches my stuff she will be forever curse until death and yes curses are real, but only the ones that knows how to hold a grudge easily.
Yup
Please tell me Iâm not the only one who threw up in my mouth a little when the OP described the mess in the Bfâs daughterâs room? Dirty clothes? Understandable. A dirty glass or dish? Gross, but not unheard of. Bloody used pads?! đ€ź
OP needs to hire a professional to clean out that room at the end of the month. I think it is legally considered a biohazard. Charge the BF for it for ultimate petty revenge.
Im not gonna lie, i felt like throwing up. Didnt her mother teached that girl how to proper dispose of used pads? How tf she slept in a room like that? God i cant imagine the smell of that room
After hearing the daughter was seperated from her mother I kinda got the impression she was acting that way to get thrown out. In the end sounds like the daughter got exactly what she wanted. Either that or this girl really has some serious unaddressed issues.
I gagged a little and then screamed.
I don't even throw away my period pads in my trash bag in my room. The smell would be terrible!
I admit my room gets a bit messy with a few things on floor but not as bad as that girls. (I clean up my room every few days to keep on top of it)
"Treating her like she's Cinderella and I'm her evil stepmom."
Girl, all she's doing is ask that you clean your OWN room! Seriously, she's 13, she should be responsible for cleaning her own room. I mean I wasn't always the neatest kid, but I at least threw my own trash away and didn't leave food out like that.
And what's with her talking to a 5-year-old boy like that?
Exactly
I had met many messy rooms (I have one that is messy, but I clean it every week, just like the rest of the house) belonging to people between 10-25 years old, some were so messy that I could compare to a room you use as dump for things you don't know where to put, and it baffles me that, even though some you couldn't see the floor, none of them had half-eaten food, moldy cups or used menstrual pads, and this 13 year old manages to the have the 3 of them... This girl is beyond "messy", she is extremely gross and irresponsible by building a literal garbage dump in a room. So, no way, Cinderella clearly knew basic hygiene.
I thought that it was joke that people left food in their rooms, let alone half-eaten. But menstrual pads? Gosh, even I that can't sense smells properly (long story) can't stand the smell of fresh blood, how does she sleeps in amidst of aged, probably dried, blood?
Yeah, and the BF enabling that behavior makes it ten times worse.
She may have been thrown out by her mother for acting this way. The BF may have been encouraging the behavior when the daughter was at her birth mother's place. I was bothered by the BF's comment that he 'used to be the same way.'
i get depression rooms, for my room is constantly messy. BUT PADS?? THATS SO GROSS!! i get pissy when people complain about pads and tampons in the garbage (where they belong but theyâre not fully covered smh). but thatâs just disgusting behaviour and sheâs probably just gonna keep getting away with these things⊠hopefully we donât see her on r/EntitledParents
As a girl who plays DnD with all male friends, I am super happy to know that my party is not toxic like that story. Holy hell. Bra size? What the hell does that have to do with the plot?! Fucking NOTHING, thatâs what. My friends let me play barbarians, Rangers, Magi and the likes. They even brought in my wife so she could play too! She is playing a ranger and was having trouble deciding on the gender of her character and she said âCan they just not have a gender?â And they were like âDude hell yeah! Thatâs awesome!â
I feel so bad for that girl in this story. Those guys are gross and scummy and make me sick.
Yeah, it's those kinda people that give the RPG playing crowd a bad name/image. Congrats on the awesome group, and I wish you many nat 20s!
Makes me think of Varsuvius.
My DND party is pretty non conventional (as in out of 6 players only 1 of them and the Master are men) and I don't think anybody gives a flying fuck about gender or gender roles/stereotypes. We've just finished our 2 campaign and (without any interference from the master) we've had 2 couples(one of wich was a lesbian couple) , a throuple and waaaay too much flirtingđ€Ł.
We did not know eachother prior to staring the campaign and now we are superclose. You just need the right group of people.
Reminds me of how we play 'Munchkins'. In the game you have cards that are affected by your characters gender. You start as whatever you (as a player) gender is. I asked if we could institute a rule about starting non-binary so that you could decline gender specific bonuses in lieu of not taking gender specific curses. My group thought this was a cool house rule.
As a female who has played DnD with multiple groups, I can say that the initial vibe felt during the first session is 100% accurate. If you get a creepy/ controlling/ degrading vibe then run for the hills, cuz that shit's not gonna change. Not including social awkwardness, because I have met a lot of DnD players who are like that and after they're comfortable with you they are some of the coolest and most fun people to play with.
Makes you wonder how they are without any strangers/new players around.
See one of my old DMs was a woman and probably the best one. Nearly anyone was welcome to JOIN but homie don't play that nonsense. If a player started trying to railroad other players or berate their choices that player found their character in a bad situation fast and OOPS looks like you died. Sorry we are not adding in a new character halfway through. Maybe next game (if you can behave better). And Any sexism/racism/bigotry you're out and we feed their character to trolls or somesuch monster as a distraction while we jack their shit.
My groups clown on everyone equally. Gender equality at its finest
Yeah. She should have been a bard so she could lob out Vicious Mockery
@@deannaabeyta1855 Same been with the same gaming group for the last 30 years we treat everyone the same, except for the DM we give him all kinds of crap but in a good way because we don't want to DIE right off the bat.
âI couldnât be a spoiled brat if I was being ignored the whole effin timeâ that sentence right there made me think of the dad just getting the rug pulled out from under him and there was nothing he could do about it. Made me smile
I went on the post and Oh my God, this man is trash, when Op was 16, she was stabbed and it took her father 8 days to come see her and tried to buy op's love with a car.
@@helenemuscagorry244 SHE WAS WHAT????
@@eddiemakesart3372 qha said that some people attacked her and stole her backpack her phone and wallet and stabbed her
@@helenemuscagorry244 now that's effed up
Throw the whole dad away at this point, I wouldn't be trying to save our relationship if I were OP
I canât figure out why she still loves him and feels bad about an ultimatum
As a Dungeon Master, it is our responsibility to ensure that our PCs are comfortable and having fun. That coworker failed OP in both areas. That behavior should have been nipped and chastised to the point of calling off the whole session if continued.
I had the experience to tell grown men to leave my table if they couldnât stop thinking with their âshort swordâ. Iâm so sorry OP had to go through such an experience. That coworker deserves a 2.5/5 butthole score. The creepy players get 3/5.
Absolutely. The CHARACTERS can suffer, but the PLAYERS should feel safe. Women have to deal with being hit on in the real world, no need to take that with us into fantasy.
@@Ajehy unless designed by said girl or player (without influence), with rules (not allowed no matter what in the game), boundaries (personal to the players, the soft line, can b bent and stretched but theres a limit) and brick walls (personal to the players but varies from player to player, the hard line, not to b touched on just like the rules) set for a much more complex playstyle but with more included if every1 is happy with the proceeding game and session. :)
@@Ajehy I think it's fine to hit on a character if it makes sense for the personality you made up for your own character. They shouldn't just ask for her character to date they're character outside the game.
@@erikmckoul2478 character sexuality is only okay if itâs cleared up in session zero that everybody is comfortable with it, and why you intend to specifically make advances on another PX you need to clear it up and gain consent with the player before the session.
@@TheHandgunhero I'm not talking full on sex or crap like that, I would hate listening to that. I was thinking more along the lines of a flirty character saying a pickup line or something like that once in a while, not actively pursuing them.
Last story: NTA. The mother was cruel to OP, kicked her out while in high school because she expected $400 in rent from OP, and told her to get a job on her 16th birthday without ever getting her sons to work at that very age. No wonder the dad left the mom. She treated OP like a stain on society. I am glad OP said no. If someone treated another that way, they shouldn't come back for help. They burned that bridge and need to accept that. Her reality is, "hmmm, OP should take care despite all the negativity that happened. Surely she will say yes". She dug the grave and now she must lay in it. Also, those people on FB need to get the whole story. Unfortunately, not one soul will listen to OP after the blasting she got from momma bear. So I'd get rid of FB and focus on myself if in the same situation.
I can not have kids....this story hurts my heart so much. There are kids out there that are just wonderful kids and the parents treat them so badly. They donÂŽt know how blessed they are to have such kids, and OP sounds really nice. I hope she will find peace in the future and her very own family, because it seems like she has not the fully understanding of what happened to her. I really think she needs therapy soon or later to understand and go on with life.
@@insideAdirtyMind agreed. She is likely going to need therapy. Hopefully when time goes by, her family will reconcile but I just can't see the mom doing so. Some people just are not cut out for kids sometimes. And people who can't have kids themselves would love a chance to give a mistreated kid a good life. Just pisses me off people would be so controlling of a kid because of some minor bs reason.
I bet she would have to take care of her, pay for everything and get written out of the will as a thank you.
I 100% agree here. OP was mistreated and neglected and now the mother wants what she thinks she's owed. But she's really owed is a reality check which is what OP gave. Hope OP recovers from this. Oh and also my condolences to the kids thing hope you can find an alternative to having as close to starting your own family as you can. I wish you (and your SO if you have one) the best of luck!
@Pink_ Kitty_333 TRUE!
The first story
"My ring isn't actually cursed but...how did she ended up in a car crash?"
God: "I've decided to make an exception"
God: "It isn't cursed it's blessed with the power of retribution"
LOL
A shame more thieves arenât superstitious. âThis residence is cursed for any would be thieves. Steal at your own potentially fatal risk.â
Unfortunately its illegal. You cant booby trap a home, even if the power is done by something the government cant even recognize is real.
With that said, i dont believe in laws so have fun. Hopefully they wont believe in you.
@@readjordan2257 the power of superstition is not a booby trap, merely scaring off those who believe in curses. There doesnât need to be any âactualâ curse. No legal issues here. That said I still have other methods of getting rid of brave but stupid thieves that also donât involve booby traps. So again, no legal issues.
@@trindalas the power of superstition isnt a booby trap, but that use of it is.
A scalpel isnt a weapon, but if its used as one, you can easily be charged.
Shotguns arent a booby trap and a legal way of dealing with home invasions unless you have duty to retreat and dont retreat when you could. But a shotgun booby trap is illegal and has caused a hefty lawsuit in court. If someone can prove that their beliefs of superstition led to them being injured even by their own stupidity, then the person doing so will only win if they have a good lawyer
Put that onto the inner surface of all of the exits.
@@marcusdaloia2974 đ except the doggie door. Make them leave principal Rooney style
Boy I was lucky my brother's middle school graduation and my high school graduation didn't fall on the same day. Helped that we went to the same school and they purposely made sure the graduations didn't overlap (plus, one auditorium, multiple ceremonies).

It's clear whos the favorite here. Her dad is horrible..
@@bryn1063 yep
When double top comment:
P
That line where the daughter says "you're treating me like Cinderella" really shows how entitled she is
She thinks that she is the protagonist and everything must go her way
AITA 2: It's harsh to *simply discipline someone?* BS! That girl is going to land in jail if she keeps up this behavior.
She will probably say to the Warden "NO, I want your very best cell!"
I wonder if the bf has been playing this game for a while, he gets a gf with a nice income, softens her up, and when he moved his butt in his daughter suddenly wants to live with him. they mooch for a while until they get kicked out and rinse and repeat but he really hopes he runs into a gf that will put up with everything.
@@countywhereverfan9960 And that's when life will give her a well-deserved slap in the face and say, "Tough luck, lady, you'll get what we give you and that's that."
And the BF not disciplining her makes it even worse.
At first I was like- "what what's she gonna go to jail for?"
"Ohh littering is a crime"
Sounds like you dodged a bullet with your bf and his extremely entitled daughter! He wasnât willing to parent her at all, and her behaviour is so entitled that basic parenting to her somehow means sheâs the evil stepmother. OP, youâre not selfish, youâre not âupset because you canât have your own wayâ, youâre making sure your son isnât being bullied, youâre making sure your house isnât being trashed, youâre making sure your house isnât vandalised, and most importantly, this is YOUR HOUSE.
Not to mention making sure her home isn't going to become a biohazard problem. Any bodily fluids or mold can become a health and safety issue.
I wonder if the bf has been playing this game for a while, he gets a gf with a nice income, softens her up, and when he moved his butt in his daughter suddenly wants to live with him. they mooch for a while until they get kicked out and rinse and repeat but he really hopes he runs into a gf that will put up with everything.
I agree. What kind of bf can't afford his own place and has the audacity to use a partner's house with their kid? Moochers. He should be charged for the pain and suffering and cleaning cost.
The last story pissed me off because I've had people say things to me about my own biological mother, but they don't know about how much she abused me and my siblings. I wouldn't want to take care of someone who disrespected me and treated me like garbage all of my life either. People should get both sides of the story before opening their mouth.
Too many people think that being related by blood undoes or overshadows everything else. I think it's bizarre.
@@Richard_Nickerson it really is. I don't care if I share blood with someone, they do me wrong I will not stand with them
Honestly me right now but with my dad đ I bring force to take care as I'm only 19 with minimum wage job. People keep telling me to be respectful as I'm the only daughter. And that I should love him lmaoo hell no. Once they know the story They all told me to forgive him as he sick n old
@@Ddevil24 him being old and sick doesn't justify his behavior
@@Ddevil24 I'm sorry for your situation hopefully someone will take your side and help you soon
2nd story: I canât believe how bad that wouldâve smelled. Old menstrual blood, molding stuff and probably old, sweaty clothes and old foodđ€ą and we donât even know what else was in there.
All I could think was "bitch you live like this?"
My own flat is often messy, has unclean dishes and everything because mental health issues yay (sarcasm), but bruh, used menstrual pads strewn across the room đ€ź
This shit smells so gross, how can you keep it in your room đ€ź
Ikr with that level of hygiene (or lack thereof) she mightâve just pissed on the carpet and crapped under the bed
đ± I was thinking in addition to whatâs been described in othersâ comments, roaches. Ants. Depending on where in the U.S. this is, other, larger vermin. Mice? Rats? Grossness upon grossness!!! đ©đ€ąđ€ź
So Iâve played a lot of DnD and I get a lot of the âonly girl in the groupâ experience. My favorite shut down was when one of the characters tried to accidentally grab my characterâs breast in a dark room and said something like âwhatâs this soft thing?â My character was dressed head to toe in armor, so I was very confused. He had actually grabbed one of the goblins and got his hand chopped off.
to any guy who says girls can't play D&D or are only there for "eye-candy", I'd just tell them to look up Felicia Day, and wish they had her career basically playing for a living!!!!
ROFL... at least the DM knew how to punish sexual harassment without explicitly calling him out on it.
This is my new favorite DM
Damn, that was a smooth move from the DM.
I played a female Halfling Paladin in one campaign (all other PCâs/players were male & medium-sized). There was a bit of awkwardness at the beginning, until they learned her reaction to anyone larger than Small hitting on her: howling laughter. Sheâs bisexual when it comes to her own size category, but anything bigger she just canât take seriously. By the end of my âweird giant floppy sausageâ pantomime, everyone knew what Bri was about, and the group was good with it.
1st story: NTA. She stole your ring. I bet she's trying to pawn it off for some kind of money. If you're thinking about keeping the curse story going, be sure your grandmother in the loop and have her play along. Also, as someone who's from a long line of witches and shamans from my maternal side, she cursed herself; you had nothing to do with it.
2nd story: NTA. They deserve to be kicked out since they don't respect you, your son, or your property. The daughter is so gross; even I wouldn't do that. Also, kick the boyfriend out too. He's not worth keeping.
3rd story: NTA. Misogynism is an issue, no matter what hobby people take in. I occasionally do YU-GI-OH duels with my boyfriend (I'd love to do more honestly). Sexual harassment is NOT cool and those guys deserve to be shut down hard for that nonsense.
4th story: NTA. He is obviously favors your stepbrother over you. He made his choice on which child he prefers. Don't feel bad for going off on him. The guy basically emotionally abandoned you.
5th story: NTA. She was never there for you. Why would you be there for her? I'd suggest cutting your family out of your life. They're not worth keeping.
Bonus: I think hearing stories from R/D&Dhorrorstories might be a good idea, because not everyone has a good start to roleplaying games
for the first story i'm fairly certain Op should get the stones checked, mil was probably not trying to steal it but trying to get the stone replaced with fake ones. it's a known scam but usually done by the future bride that is in it for money and many places refused to do it without proof of ownership so mil was probably struggling to find a place that would do it XD that's my theory
13:56
This is something I've learned through therapy: you're ok being confrontational with your mom because you know she cares and will be there no matter what. You're not ok being confrontational with your dad because you don't have that same sense of love and security.
Don't let unjustified guilt make you stop standing your ground. You deserve love and attention too. Even if your dad hadn't been ignoring you and obviously showing preferential treatment to someone else, then you're STILL justified in being mad that your parent would choose an ELEMENTARY school "graduation" for a kid he still gets to live with and see over a REAL graduation from HIGH SCHOOL for a kid he could potentially never see again.
OP of the last story should put her on blast, detailing all the abuse, then delete facebook after its been seen. The birthday wanted ads and rent thing alone will likely flip the script for most people, and I am sure OP has more things she withheld for the sake of brevity.
*D&D OP:* âI was the only woman in the group.â
*Me:* âHere go hell come.â
This story reminds of the livestream incident that happened a year or two. I hope OPâs colleague told off the BHs for their antics, but I doubt it
agreed, i'm hoping the reason OP's colleague isn't talking to her is becuse hes embarresed about what the BHs did and is trying to give her space,its a stretch though
Iâm relieved my normal D&D group is pretty evened out 2 guy, 2 gals, & me a demiguy. With 3/5 being family & the rest being close friends so I donât see these issues.
I would play up that witch doctor thing. I would let the MIL know that her Grandma did a blessing for their marriage and if anyone tries to interfere with their relationship, steal from them, or harm them in anyway physically, mentally, or otherwise that they would meet a terrible fate. I'm sure she would become a very sweet MIL after that.
I like how you think! đ
I remember reading that story and at least one of the comments suggested something similar
@@tdavenport720 Thank you! đ I wish I could do something like this in my life. Unfortunately, nobody around me is that gullible. Plus, she was trying to steal her ring for whatever reason and it wouldn't hurt her any to feel like she has to treat OP and her son respectfully. Its a rather polite payback in my opinion.
She will never become a sweet MIL. However, there are loads of opportunities to mess with her head - strange trinkets lying around in prominent spots, oddly-flavoured teas and strange scents, incomprehensible sentences muttered in a foreign accent without explanation - which should provide plenty of recompense for the annoyance she's bound to cause. I'm a bit concerned though, that the son's response when he heard the story wasn't to fall about laughing and he clearly needs serious training.
Last story: As soon as OP explained that she was a woman and had 4 brothers I knew what this was about. That 'mother' deserves nothing
The mother deserves EXACTLY this.
Graduation story. Stepmom should also get an ah score clearly she's behind it too.
As a major dnd geek. I would love if you could a r/dndhorrorstoies video.
For the dnd story, I agree that's disgusting behavior. If I was playing with that group I would've walk out first session, even if I wasn't the one being harrassed.
I would like to hear some stories, too.
About the last story: Lemme get this straight, standing up against your sick/dying toxic mother because you don't want to be a "free nurse" is unsympathetic, selfish, mean spirited, uncaring, etc. While the mother never wanted a daughter, forced her to work while the brothers slacked, kicked her out of the house before she turned 18 is perfectly okay? NTA.
OP shouldâve gotten a lawsuit on her Mother as a âbirthday giftâ and said âHappy Birthday, âMotherâ, hereâs a summons. Iâm suing you for neglect, child labor, child abandonment and illegally kicking me out of the house before I turned 18. Getting paid after winning my case in court while seeing you and Brothersâ faces of shock will be the greatest Birthday gift to ME.â
Yeah, screw that Bitch and her 5 Stooges!
That about sums it up yeah.
"Oh hey daughter, I know I've neglected you your whole life and I said I regret the day you were born, but now that you have money I want you to take care of me in my old age because we're fAmIlY all of a sudden."
Screw that for a joke.
If they were so worried about her, why were they harrassing OP and not taking care of her themselves. Oh wait that's why
@@CooperGal24 That honestly wouldve been a perfect end to that storyđ
I'm a woman who has both played and run D&D for about six years now. I was super lucky with my first group that included both women and men who were very aware of the stereotypes and careful to be respectful. But due to all the online horror stories about people feeling uncomfortable or outright harassed, I make it very clear at the start of all my games that anyone at anytime can say to me they feel uncomfortable about something and we'll respect that.
It doesn't matter if it was just a joke that didn't seem like that big of a deal to the other person. We're playing a _game_ it should be _fun_ So... if after you find out something is making another player uncomfortable, and you _absolutely_ can't have fun without making certain jokes/seducing their character/insulting someone because "that's what my character would do!" then it sounds like the group just isn't a good match. But that story.... yikes! So many red flags that go way over that!
Iâm so happy my groups are respectful of this type of stuff, even going as far as making a survey to determine if romance was even an option before our campaign starts!
I also DM as well, and I let my characters know in session 1 that I wasnât comfortable with all that romance roleplay as itâs my first campaign, and I havenât had any problems so far :D
Absolutely appalling that people have had experiences like the ones in the story, let alone these situations being their first DND experiencesâŠ
The daughter requested to move in... how is she having a hard time transitioning? It was at her request. Dude is a shit father for making excuses for her and it makes you wonder why the mom left him.
And didn't might letting OP's BF have full custody. She likely couldn't parent the child either with OP's BF running interference.
If I ever randomly one day just see/meet you RSLASH, you gotta share some of those D&D stories. I love D&D.
I miss playing and actually tried to get back into the game once, went to a local store that held games. The owner was very nice to me, but everyone there ranged from about 15 to early 30s and they did NOT want a mid-50s guy in their campaigns. They couldn't officially ask me to leave due to the owner's policies, but it was SO obvious they didn't want me there that I didn't return.
@@clarky23 I would let you play đ„șđ„șđ„ș I'm sorry you had a bad experience with my generation but a lot of us love playing with older generations!
@@clarky23 that sucks! I am sorry to hear about that. I retired a decade ago due to the change of behaviors at the table. So while I'm not 50, I kinda understand the whole not being wanted. Good luck man and know you aren't alone.
If you're looking for similar content but exclusively D&D, check out CritCrab
You could always play on the Roll 20 web sight.
1st Story NTA because MIL is in OP's business and MIL over stepped all the boundaries put in place. MIL deserved it. Plus it's funny. Witch Doctors, Witches, and other Magic Practitioners are normally really cool anyways win-win either way.
The one practicing witch I knew was one of the coolest people I have ever met. I love the hex described in this story. When a mutual friend's house was burglarized we talked about telling neighbors a curse was put on the burglars's families, not the burgrars.
Those D&D players wanted an NPC, not a party member. OP had every right to be upset and walk out. No "warnings" needed.
OP dodged a major bullet in the 2nd story. What a horrible father and boyfriend. I predict that later she's gonna be in and out of jail/juvenile detention, and the father is gonna bail her out and continue to cover for her and enable her..
Final AITA: Did Mom really think that OP would help her after everything that happened in the past? Sorry, OP's Mom, but you shouldâve invested on OP if you wanted her to take care of you.
'she does not want a man to care for her when she is in that state or a stranger' I translate that to ' Your brothers should not be burdened with my health issues and I don't wanna waste their inheritance on a caretaker so you have to take care of me' op should put a message on face ' for the ladies that are angry that i wont take care of my mom, how nice of you to volunteer i am sure my mom will be very happy with your help'
And even then - why should the burden once again fall on the only female child? We really need to start expecting more from our sons and less from our daughters when it comes to familial burdens.
The story of evicting the daughter threw me when it said "I have a 5yo son, he has a 13yo daughter" obviously meaning her partner. But I spent a few minutes thinking "how can a 5yo a) have a daughter and b) have a daughter older then him" lol I need more sleep
Binging enough rslash disconnects your brain from logic as all the characters are constantly acting outside of it.
Can we talk about the father's response to his daughter punching holes in the wall? If i was in that situation i would understand why his ex wanted to end their relationship and why i should not start ours
About the brazilian grandma curse one: as someone from Brazil, I find hilarious. That said, tea won't work rSlash. She needs to invite her MIL to a movie, and make some popcorn with dendé oil. When her MIL asks about the taste, OP just needs to say her grandma teached her a nice recipe.
The dad one hit me HARD. Op is definitely not the AH. Her dad and stepmom however are major ones. I give 4 out of 5, because I know how damaging this can be to ones mental health.
Hit me hard too. I've been in that place. Where my dad chose his step-family over his biological one. It wasn't as bad for me as for the OP in the story. But it still hurt. My dad and I never really did have a relationship. He was always distant from me. Even more so than my other siblings. He's passed on now and I miss him even so.
@@kalimaxine mine was a bit different. I was five when my dad cheated on my mom. Had a son and I was nothing. It took until I was 13 to not care about him. It still hurts to this day that he doesn't care. I blamed myself a lot in the beginning, went to a lot of therapy. She cheated on him and he raised that girl and gave her so much love and attention it broke me all over again.
@@amberwriker5237 That is so sad. I'm so sorry. Hugs if it helps.
It took me years to work out that my dad fully embraces anything the step-mother is into. Hence her kids are so important to him and he has so much time for them.
OP, my mother was extremely neglectful towards me and allowed my brother to abuse me, whilst psychologically abusing me. She posts on her Facebook every year about how itâs my birthday and sheâs âupsetâ that she canât wish me a happy birthday, that Iâm âungratefulâ, âspitefulâ, âbitterâ etc, then tells people to contact me on her behalf. They try chewing me out, and I inform them of her abuse towards me, how sheâs manipulative, how she didnât care when my brother was constantly violent towards me, how she expected me to bring up my brother when I myself was a child, and that this isnât some crappy Hallmark movie where an estranged family member finds their family again, that this is real life and I cut contact for many, many reasons, and her inability to respect my wishes is certainly one of them.
Every single year, without fail, because she only cares about what she wants and how things look, sheâs afraid of looking like a bad mother (she was), sheâs afraid of telling people I cut all contact and have been very content in life since, sheâs afraid people will find out she enabled my brothers abuse, sheâs afraid people will find out how she manipulated her children and played us against each other. Most importantly, sheâll never admit she was wrong, that she picked a favourite, that she didnât care when he assaulted me and knocked me unconscious, that she was told by me how much I hated her behaviour and her picking favourites, that she weaponised my disabilities all the time despite constantly posting about how important mental health is because she thinks itâll make her look like a good person, and that she was cut off and Iâve never had any intention of contacting her since, instead sheâd rather let her fakebook friends think Iâm cruel, bitter, spiteful and mean.
So no OP, youâre not the butthole. What massively helped me was speaking to RaisedByNarcissists, cPTSD, and PTSD, these subreddits are fantastic because thereâs so many of us whoâve suffered abuse one way or another, and knowing we arenât alone is really helpful. Another thing thatâs extremely helpful is folk will listen to you if you need to speak about something, and have been in similar positions to yourself. Donât allow her to get away with her behaviour, she chose 4 very clear favourites and yet somehow needs to ask the 1 child she neglected and tell her she needs looked after? Hell, Iâd wanna tell her âIâll look after you like you looked after meâ just to see her panic.
So many people don't understand that blood relations are meaningless if the ones you're related to treat you absolutely awful. I hope you're doing better now, without them in your life.
As the full saying goes; the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. We choose our true family.
âIâll look after you like you looked after meâ
Tell her that, and then just maintain silent eye contact, while she thinks back about her past treatment of you, and imagines her loooooooooooong future, with you as her only "caregiver."
Second last story resonates with me personally. In my case, a high school award ceremony was picked over me graduating from university.... TWICE. When I told my mom she can't compare the two she lost it, telling me that I'm selfish and hurting my little sister's feelings.
I'm 25 now, and things haven't changed. It won't either. I carry a lot of resentment in my heart... It took me a while to accept it, but you just have to go no contact... Let toxic people go, focus on yourself ect ect.
I know, easier said than done. That's why my friends became my family.
OP should play the witch doctor up if she continues in the relationship. She should say that she learned some things from her grandmother, or that she found her grandmother's journal. Keep the M-I-L in line.
That graduation story could be summed up as: AITA for demanding someone who claims to love me to actually show it for once?
And all he has to do is show up to her graduation. It's not difficult.
The ring story doesnât sound right. If it is, then the reaction of the boyfriend is too weak to protect OP. OP should be running for the hills.
I would just have my grandma speak random portuguese words or native inspired idioms like "gororoba" or "cafunĂ©" or "pereba" or names of fruit like "cupuaçĂș", "jaca" or "açaĂ" and fish like "pirarucĂș". She would think it's an ancient spell, but grandma would be talking about food or random small talk.
As a girl who plays a lot of dnd, itâs absolutely hell being the only girl in the group. Once was playing with my girlfriend, and a few of the dudes at the table had no idea we were both gay and dating. After a bit of both of us getting harassed the same way op did, we decided to make it obvious. Iâve never seen so many grown men look so uncomfortable and ashamed.
That first story was so fucking funny. Iâm blessed to have a wonderful mother-in-law who accepts me. She is older and âset in her waysâ but sheâs so loving. Iâm living for the day I can use the âcurseâ story for some moment in my life.
That second story: I canât believe ANYONE spends $120 on jeans. I spend $20-$30 on a pair and they last for years. Even if I buy them ripped up and the holes get too big, I can turn them into shorts đ€·đ»ââïž - irrelevant to the actual story but I like spending money on food and actual activities that Iâll remember forever, not clothes that Iâll grow out of or want to get rid of because the trends change.
What kind of jeans do you buy and where? Everytime I get a pair and after a few years and washes they get torn/holes in the crotch/inner thigh area and I have to fix it.
Skinny jeans aren't in fashion right now. I don't care - I'm not wearing straight leg or wide because skinny and slim are the only ones that look good on me. My new dark jeans are skinny. They look better than the straight pair I got two years ago. I have this very good friend who has to wear skinny jeans, too, because of her size. The smaller you are, the tighter your jeans.
@@audreym3908 I buy Hollister pants which are normally $60+ but on sale they go for $20-$30 per pair. I mostly shop when theyâre $25 (I have the email updates for sales lol) The sizing can feel a little off for some pants so Iâd recommend trying them on in store if you can. A size 7 in pants that I have fit very tight around my tummy but the size 7 curvy pants fit a lot more comfortably. My curves arenât my bum, but my gut đ. The jean legging pants wear out faster than the thicker denim material as well. I had a perfect pair of pants that were so durable, but had to get rid of because of the grease stains from wearing them as work pants. I havenât been able to find those pants on their website since. They last me a good few years though as long as you can restrain from pulling the threads on the ripped jeans. I like that theyâre affordable and will last me a while.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 I agree, I will probably never not wear skinny jeans. Straight jeans just make me look more like a fucking box lol. I can wear mom jeans that are high waisted and baggy but taper towards the ankles if theyâre also cropped. I can also do flare jeans as long as theyâre high waisted and are skinny enough on top
I imagined that last story like this:
âMotherâ hanging on the edge of a cliff: *Daughter, help me!*
OP stomping on the fingers of her âmotherâ so that she will fall to her death: *Long live the Queen.* đ
Thank you rSlash for Supporting victims of Sexual Harrasment... We need more men and yes women like YOU! to Acknowledge their is forum or situation where sexual harassment is ok! She was totally right in leaving that D&D game!
Might wanna reword that bud...
I've been in the table top community for nearly 10 years. Anytime people like this entered the group, they were very quickly shown the door. You don't play like that. Any scenes involving extreme violence or sexual things must be accepted by all involved and usually fade to black and not public. It's not hard. At the ages mentioned, they should all well know better.
That D&D story wasn't about the game, that was harassment and the DM should have helped shut it down.
I took care of my sick husband for ten years before he died. It was hell. Even if you have the best relationship with somebody, you are under zero obligation to care for them that way. And if you choose to, it's very important to ensure your own needs are getting met, too. It's been 4 years since he passed and I am still recovering from the stress, depression, and anxiety from caregiving.
What about in sickness and in health? Of course you have an obligation towards your spouse
care given strain is a very real thing and it is very important that care givers get care for themselves as well. I hope that you have a good support system in place :-)
@@radhiadeedou8286 you can ensure your loved one's needs are met without physically providing them yourself 24/7. Also, adults have some responsibility to ensure their own needs are met, and not just rely on somebody else to do it all for them. Like being an active participant in your own care, taking your meds as prescribed, doing your physical therapy exercises, calling the doctor when you need a refill or an appointment, etc. Assuming of course they are able.
Last story: Mental and emotional abuse aside, why is it OP's responsibility? Even if her mom treated her decently, then how is it still on OP and only OP? OP is the YOUNGEST of FIVE kids! Mommy dearest has 4 other options, all of which are probably better.
Why would she even WANT her daughter to take care of her? Why would she WANT the person she's told she doesn't like and never wanted, whom she's mistreated, taking care of her? I'd be worried about retaliation or something in her shoes.
Edit: I would've laughed in her face when she asked and just walked out on her.
Edit: No one knows the whole story. No way the people telling you off actually know anything about your situation or relationship.
2nd story: if "your way" means "don't put holes in the walls of my house, and let your room become an actual biohazard", then yeah...it IS your way.
It sound like the future MIL wants the fiance out of her son's life completely. Why else would she steal the engagement ring?
What i was thinking.
in her minf it was "No ring = no wedding"
D&D female player here. I've been playing tabletop RPG since I was 7 (I'm now 32) and I can confirm that sometimes, if you're a girl, you'll be treated like shit. I remember a group who only saw me as "the girl player", and they thought that I was here because the DM fancied me and not because I liked playing. I was evicted from some of their games because of that, and once, my character dated another player's character and all hell broke loose. They accused us of flirting by proxy and that this was a weird kind of foreplay where the only reason we did that was because it was a great opportunity for character developement! And these guys were around 30 when it happened. Another time, with another group, my character suffered all of the sexual fantasies of the group. She was assaulted and impregnated by an incubus, became a prostitute, and at the time I just laughed and played along because I thought this was normal behaviour. Trust me, it's not. I spent years recovering from the constant abuse I suffered during games. Luckily now I'm playing in a group where everyone is nice and understanding (3 guys and 2 girls) and I know that what I lived was inacceptable. So please my fellow tabletop RPG players, don't be like that.
I hate those people who abandon their kids and have the nerve to demand something from them afterwards.
If I were OP from the last story, since they decided I'm an a-hole regardless, I'd embrace the title and send mom one final message before blocking her for good: "We'll only meet one more time after this... when I visit your grave to spit on it."
that's VERY racist and toxic - I will report you to reddit
@@spicydiarrhea5662 I'm trying to work out if you're joking. I think yes, but I don't get it.
My only worry about doing a D&D Horror Stories video is that it might be the only exposure to D&D that some of this channel's audience may have. That could leave a very negative impression of the game if all you hear are awful experiences without knowing how fun or even therapeutic it can be to create epic adventures with a good group of people. Maybe a video about both good and bad stories? Might be something to think about.
My mom claims that my grandma poisoned a 'witchdoctors' monkey and he cursed us for it. Sometimes I think about it
Also op in story 1 is nta, weaponizing her vaguely racist superstition is the dream in my opinion.
Story 1: OP should have told that meddling old bag that the only reason she didnât die was because she gave back the ring.
Story 2: Iâll bet that out-of-control young woman would be singing a different tune if there was a chance her peers could see and smell âher roomâ.
OP should have told that meddling old bag that the only reason she didnât die was because she gave back the ring.
Absolutely!
The part about her getting into a minor car accident after stealing the âcursed ringâ was the most amazing thing Iâve ever seen
Nerd Culture has a misogyny problem. I say that as a woman very much invested in nerd culture, and someone who's played several different roleplaying games including D&D for a quarter of a century. It's getting better, but it's far from gone. Creeping on a woman is creeping on a woman regardless if it's done in game or not. You are not an asshole for not putting up with it. If this was about wanting to roleplay dating or romantic relationships, that's a discussion to be had between the players that requires consent. Otherwise they should be treating you and your character as just another player/character.
First story: That's a funny way to deal with thieving family members.
That thumbnail đ€Ł
6:42
"This guy's DAUGHTER is being spoiled by both him and HIS mom"?
No, HER mom. The guy's mom isn't involved.
He's saying this as if her mother is like her father, which I got a sneaky suspicion that her mother was actually like OP in this story. The father is spoiling the daughter rotten, never corrects her behavior, the mother can't correct her because she's always being told that she's being too hard and that she's being a controlling mother and should let the daughter live life her way. So, she basically just threw both of them out because of this. That would explain why the daughter's mother didn't have a room for her as the father told. Also, if this is the case, I wonder why OP's BF left it out completely and only mentioned how she has a hard time being away from her mother. Probably as an attempt to guilt-trip OP into letting his daughter get her way or to prevent OP from kicking them out like the daughter's mother. Or most likely both.
@@spydersoup8447
I'm definitely not reading that. That's WAY too long of a guess to defend a simple case of speaking incorrect. Stop stanning.
@@Richard_Nickerson I was just sharing a possible theory.
@@spydersoup8447
The only answer is that he misread it.
I wanna see Rslash read RPG horror stories. I feel that would be entertaining
The Dungeon & Dragons story was rough to hear. Those creeps are what gives TRPG players a bad name.
Also I would love to hear content from DNDhorrorstories or similar subreddits from you.
I would love to hear stories from that sub
As a dnd neckbeard I can firmly say that those kind of neckbeards are the worst part of dnd.
I watched "Maleficent" lately, so I thought: If that girl is Cinderella and OP the stepmother, it might be time to rewrite that fairytale as well.
As someone who has been playing DnD for about 8 years now with the same group, it is incredibly easy not to harass people (especially sexually harass them!) at the table! Like the first major red flag here is the fact they tried to force a healer role on you. Not only is that a heavy stereotype, trying to criticize anyone's character choice for any reason on the very first time they play with you is just setting that person up to not feel welcome. Not to mention OP even said that the campaign had already started and she joined in a couple sessions late, so if the party needed a healer so bad shouldn't one of them already be the healer? Thats screwed up!
Also, judging you based on in game choices is another thing that really bums me out. We recently had a boss fight with a vampire thing that was trying to get to this crystal that was incredibly powerful and obviously something horrible would happen if he actually got to it. The crystal was in the hold of a ship we where on, and the enemy we where fighting was up top on the deck. My friend then decided to use a polymorph wand on himself to transform into a giant creature and slam the vampire into the deck on the ship to pin him down. The only things the rest of us did was tell him "IDK Man, I don't think id do that if I where you." But none of us pressed it any farther because its a game, and we want to let people play how they want. Long story short: He broke through the deck of the ship, and as the vampire went crashing down into the hold he landed directly on top of the crystal witch caused him to throw us 52 years into a future where he is now the ruler of the world, and now the rest of our campaign is now us trying to stop his rule because our friend essential gave him the crystal. If my party can still sit down and play with that guy with a smile on our faces after that incident, there is no reason these guys should criticize ANY decision OP made in DnD, because I can almost guarantee nothing she said was as bad as that!!
If someone joins a campaign already in progress, the ONLY reasons to tell them, "Please be a healer" is if the group stupidly formed without a healer, in the first place, or they lost their healer, or they realized that one healer is not enough.
I could comment on each of the stories....but I'll go with the D&D one. I was a long time Dungeon Master (the person who runs/referees/creates/manages the game for those not in the hobby). I'd been in this group for about 8 years through college and a few years afterwards. Players come and players go, but two of our longest members invited some new players, including one girl in her early 20s. She made a female character (elven thief) and two of the other members wanted her to be a healer. I told them she could be whatever she wanted to play, she was there to enjoy the game and not to just fix everyone's injuries. The first session was uncomfortable, the guys (in character) kept hitting on her, making advances and such. Second session the next week, two of the guys actually said they were going to rape her in game. I was livid, but for some reason saw it coming and knew how I was going to handle it.
I let them role for success, which they did. Then suddenly Zeus appeared (the Roman gods were the deities in this campaign) picked up the two guys and turned them into clay pottery. Then Zeus smashed the clay figures into dust (kinda like the scene in Clash of the Titan 1980s version). Their wizard tried to bring them back, gee.....NO SUCCESS!!!! the guys were livid, saying I couldn't do that. I reminded them that I WAS THE DUNGEON MASTER, not them. They got up and left in a huff. Afterwards I just said I was tired and called it a night. The girl thanked me for what I did and I told her to keep alert. That if those guys would pull that crap in a game, who knows what they'd do in person. That was the last time I played D&D. I decided (had actually been thinking about it for a while) that it was time to move on from playing. I was told they tried to play with a new DM, but the group officially disbanded after a few failed sessions.
I just gotta say that Zeus is the Greek name. Jupiter is the Roman name. Also thatâs pretty funny that a god thatâŠNever mind. Itâs still funny though
@@EnderNinjaJammer yeah....you're right....we were using teh greek gods....chalk it up to old age, this did happen in the 1990s after all LOL
MIL in that first story was looking to start drama. She's trying to drive a wedge between OP and her fiance and would probably have claimed she never touched the ring if OP complained about her taking it..
DnD story is... yeah.. I've known a loy of guys like that.. I've learned the hard way never to trust a male-only DnD group. Even relatively reasonable nerd dudes turn into cred-checking neckbeards looking for excuses to undress the token female character when you get them in group with no one to call them on their BS. OP made the right choice.
That's something I'd be worried about if I ever find a DnD group, becoming the bad side of the playerbase
Also it's weird to come across someone with my previous avatar
Getting cursed for stealing an engagement ring: â .
Child probably coached by the mom to be the dad's life a misery: â .
Getting sexually harassed by potentially sue-able mom's basement men in a D&D game: â .
Worst father with obvious favoritism issues: â .
Neglectic mother asks for her forgotten daughter's help: â (also, I would've gave her a list of things she can apply to NOT contact you again).
As soon as she said she was a girl playing DnD, I thought: they're going to try and make her play healer/support. I've not had the sexual harassment but I've definitely had to fight to be listened to in a group of a blokes.
Brazilian grandmothers just want to read their bibles in peace đ Love how Karens get hysterical over anything... even something that makes no sense at all
I'm sure OP's mom fabricated some story about how she was an amazing, supportive, and loving mother. I hope that OP exposes her completely, along with the people who sent these horrible messages, before she deletes her account.
I can't help but laugh at the first storyđ€Łring thief gets spooked by a story about a ring thiefđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
As the saying goes âBad D&D is worse than no D&D.â
Donât play if you canât find a good group. Youâre not the butthole if you leave.
Story 1: Karen: Precious. (Gets cursed). What the F, OP!
I donât think anyone remembers elementary school graduation to the point that Iâm not even sure if I even had one.
Yeah. Also each late t o could go to their kid's graduation. It's not that complicated. Her dad is just a coward.
For OP who's making their dad choose, when you feel guilty about making him do that remember EVERY TIME HE PUT YOUR STEP BROTHER BEFORE YOU.
Ring story: OP needs to lay it on thick to MIL that she needs to get her money back for a shoddy cleaning job; that there was still stuff in the crevices. Keep asking for the location so she can go talk to the manager, etc. Keep pushing and pushing.
Thankyou Rslash for making my mornings every day, Iâve been watching since your first 20 episodes and you just brighten my day, seeing how far youâve come is amazing and Iâm so proud of you đ§Ą
The D&D story: I never played a healer/mother type. My favorite character was a half-elven female Ranger who was heavy on the sass. OP was SO NTA - those guys she was gaming with were creepy, sexist jerks. She was 100% right to walk away.
If I remember correctly the ring story had an update. Basically in order to calm the MIL down as well as further rub the theft in her face, the OP took the advice of a commenter and told the MIL "Oh, the curse shouldn't affect you, actually, since you only took the ring to be cleaned. The spell only curses people who take it with ill intent, so thieves and such. So since you only took it to help me, you shouldn't be cursed."
I'd like to mention for the fourth story that based on the way the dad's wife reacted and the dad not being prone to confrontation, it seems like she's trying to keep the dad away from OP so that her son gets all the attention.
For the third story
So a few friends and i have a dnd party and we're pretty mixed up like 50/50 girls and boys, we actually have character romance but most of it is just like joking around how these two characters fit together bc they are kinda edgy or sth like that and then we just roll with it.
I personally think its the best way of havin character romance or a game in general , you dont always have to be super serious in rp i mean its a game and you want to have fun with your friends
I don't think there's anything wrong with character romance but _both_ players have to be fine with it! Like, I get for super serious roleplayer's they don't want to have table talk but that's absolutely the moment where you say "I'd like my character to have a bit of a crush on your character, would yours be at all interested?" and if they say no or seem uncomfortable with it then don't bother them!
@@sarahcb3142 I 100% agree
I used to be horrified of anyone knowing I was on my period, so I had a trash bag in my closet where I put my used pads. It was AWFUL smelling, and ended up breeding fruitflies like crazy. I NEVER did that again, and I almost threw up tying the bag shut to keep the fruit flies from flying out while I took it to the dumpster. So I feel for that stepmom/girlfriend.
The bigger issue is why you would think it's okay to steal someone's engagement ring
Story two: holy hell, NTA. If I were OP, I would have given them the warning when she started punching holes in my walls. They both would've been out the second I saw such a disgusting room.
I've heard about these D&D horror stories, but never experience it. When I use to play in college with people from work, we had a lot of female players. We never had problems. No one was harassed. Characters didn't "date." There wasn't any sex in the game. If there are issues like this, I think it's the DM's job to put a stop to it immediately.
As someone whos played dnd for over a decade now. Please do dnd stories, tho tag them as 18+ because they go WILD sometimes
I love how many Karen's confuse 'cursed' with karma
High School graduation is a huge thing, it's taking your first step into the adult world. I honestly hate how they've created these big celebrations for such minor successes like moving on from elementary school, it's more toxic than anything else.
Any D&D group that doesn't let you play the type of character you want (within the parameters of the game), questions your in-game choices constantly, talks over you, and refuses to let you participate, is one you do not want to be a part of. Add in sexual harassment and you have every right to get up and walk right out. Not the asshole.
It's perfectly fair to tell a new player, "We have these gaps that need filling," but not to say, 'You MUST play X class." For example, if they need healing, there are several classes that can offer it, such as paladin, ranger, druid and bard, as well as cleric. Or even an alchemist or artificer can create the healing potions.
@@AuntLoopy123 Exactly. Or saying "this game is going to be urban only, so I'm not allowing any races or subclasses that are wilderness-focused". Those fall in the parameters of the game. For example, I'm running an all-Druid game. But the players knew that BEFORE they signed up to play, and were otherwise free to tweak their Druid however they wanted (fighter, support, summoner, etc). I also don't dictate their choices in-game.
These videos always make my day easier to manage, thank you so muchâ€
My ex let me join his dnd group.
He was actually pretty annoyed at the idea that my character wasn't going to date his.
My character had more chemistry with the demon NPC that followed her around, heck she had more chemistry with the fell mage of the group given they would go and buy outfits for his pet flying snake.
But further more. My character was designed to not even really care for anyone in that group at all, she was on a mission to find her younger brother. If these guys died she didn't care. If he had wanted to have the two of them get close he should have tried to interact with her like the other mage did.
It wad quite annoying and why I'm glad I'm started up my own group and I'm training many new comers. They are all quite happy and work together great!
For the first story, she should have just told the MIL "oh, I talked with my grandma and she said, so long as the ring wasn't taken with malicious intent, and was returned safely, the curse will be lifted"
Whoever sees this have a amazing day
You too đ
Thanks!
You too đđđ

Perfect video to watch/listen to while doing some work.
Lol the first story is like that one picture. It was a picture of a note that someone had put on the work fridge I think. Someone had been stealing OPâs eggs, so she put a note on the door, saying that the eggs werenât from chicken eggs and that they were from a rare bird and they were poisonous, and to come to OP for the antidote. Ofc the egg thief came really quick lol.
That first one is hilarious. The ironic part about curses is that 99% of their power is the beliefe that they work in the first place.
