Yep, even just listening to the story I was just going "Stop it! Do not do it! Please just STOP!!" As even if I am not a professional in holding onto money or even investing hearing them basically make stupid decision after stupid decision was just painful to hear, and if the story is true just absurd to imagine wasting hundreds of thousands if not a million of dollars within a short time frame like that. She basically just took that money and used it like as if she won it in the lottery.
I don't get how if she had a lawyer to offer advice she didn't know about all the extra costs of buying a house? It's literally the number one reason to get a lawyer when looking to buy property(they can review paperwork and help ensure you're aware of the costs and such up front). It's like they went out of their way to make their situation difficult for no good reason.
She sounds like a trophy wife who probably made her own money because hubby wasn't going to allow her to sit at home and do nothing. But I doubt she knew anything other than to spend. And just because husband ain't here to stop her. She was going to live in a bougie neighborhood and instead of the home they created for 12 years.
It might not be his fault. She could have chosen the "high growth" fund that also has high risk and short-term volatility. It might have been a better choice if she could wait 30 years and then take the money out when it's high, waiting a year or two for the right opportunity. Meanwhile, that market sector if not the economy at large tanked right when she made the investment. He might have _said_ she ought to buy a fund that pays regular income to her and is low-risk. But she wanted to make her own decisions now.
Story 4 is heartbreaking. I'm so sad that OP thinks they might be overreacting, when I think they're had an extreme underreaction to the physical and emotional abuse of her kid. She needs to at the very least go NC with her parents, and maybe file a restraining order. They're abusive and OP and their family needs to stay far away.
@@curtisalex456 dang I wondered about that, I heard this one on another Channel (I think @LostGenre ?) and had the same thought. Do you recall where you heard the daughter’s side?
@@bookalex1not sure, but i think most countries just allows mental and emotional abuse of parents. So, even if she worked hard for that money, as long as her mother has control on the bank account, there's literally nothing anyone can do about the lost/stolen money... This issue had been featured in some reddit stories/posts, where someone is trying to seek help about what to do on the money stolen by the parent, who was trusted to have control on the bank account. And being a minor is the worst case scenario, because any money/treasure/wealth you have also belongs to the parent/guardian...

@@Ryanthusar that's not entirely true. You can cancel flight tickets (depending in the airline) at any given time, unless you are already boarded and inside the plane. downloading the tickets or going through TSA doesn't mean those tickets can't be cancelled.

Story 4: My own FATHER pushed me into the deep end at 2 years old. I STILL cannot go underwater for long periods and I’m 55!! That was NOT COOL what the f’ing grandparents did to that poor little girl, I don’t care HOW OLD she is!!
Yep, I was 8, he was drunk. I sank like a rock into the LAKE. I still recall both losing consciousness and coming to, thank life for his sober friend. Life-long water issues. Thanks, dad.
I know someone who tossed a dog in because they wanted to get him to learn to swim. It pretty much had the same effect...after that incident, the dog absolutely refused to go anywhere near any body of water ever again. And giving him a bath became more of a chore than ever because the dog was so terrified of getting wet.
I'm 35 and my first step father threw me in a lake once when I was about that age, and I nearly drowned once because he ignored me on a raft when I was 4 or 5. The raft just floated away while he told me to shut up. It's one of my earliest memories, and I still have issues being submerged. Gave me a complex about being ignored.
When I was in elementary school my father held my head underwater in a pool in attempt to teach me to swim. He got mad at me for not trusting him when I got scared and panicked. Don't expect me to get under water without a scuba/snorkel mask of some sort because there's a high probability I'm not coming back up.
Story 2: Fun fact!! Karen already committed assault the moment she threw hot coffee in OP's face, if OP took her down while someone called the cops, it's self defense
Last story: No, she is not the AH for losing all the money. She is the AH for dipping into the college fund. She is ignorant of finance and is uneducated in fiduciary responsibility. Her husband left her with a lawyer between her and the money, very likely because he knew she couldn't handle it. Good for him, but he should have put the money in a trust with the lawyer as trustee.
I'm personally extremely angry at the mother for not pressing charges. She might need therapy, but it is still shameful parenting: if she is not suing them for this, what else has she let them do to her children before? Having been abused in your own childhood (as this mother has, by the criminal grandparents) does not excuse you in the slightest for letting your own children be abused. Weak, irresponsible mother.
Story 4: "Well now your hair is wet, so now you can have fun." My god, I literally flinched when I read that line. It sounds like a minor thing, but with all the context surrounding it, that situation was the thing that pissed me off the most in the entire video.
Last story: Do you really have to ask??? YES, YOU ARE THE AH!!! All that work your husband did for NOTHING...smh. Your husband TOLD YOU to listen to his attorney but YOU KNEW BETTER?!? Now you're just about ass out, you had the gall to use your daughter's college fund, you let a 'money manager' waste all your husband's hard earned money and you are asking if you're an AH, YES MY DEAR, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES ON THIS CHANNEL!!!
Story 1 - OP and her friend Felicia are my heroes for putting Karen in her place. In the end Karen got what she deserved. I’m also like OP, I’m always calm but I also have a temper but my Martial Arts training helps keep me calm.
Story #4: OP should definitely get a lawyer involved. I'm not sure if restraining orders can be put out preemptively, but in a case like this they really ought to. The grandparents sound like the kind of people who, if OP breaks off all contact, would eventually show up at OP's home doing who-knows-what.
Ok, the lady with the coffee. WHY were the police not called in as SOON as the coffee was flung. You have to know that the damn woman has done this before and had NO CONSEQUENCES. This is why people continue to do this. Nothing. frigging. happens. to them.
Last story: One of the rare occasions when I think the daughter should sue her mom (I'm German and we usually don't sue people every now and than). OP stole the money from her daughter just because she made terrible decisions. If you make mistakes - own them. Learn from them. And do not steal money from other people because it's the easiest way to avoid consequences.
If she can she definitely needs to take legal action, hopefully the courts can force her to sell the house to pay her daughter back. Then her daughter needs to go no contact.
1st story: Love this one. 4th story: I'd have looked into pressing assault charges on those parents, and amybe some kind of fraud for cancelling her airplane tickets? Glad OP's husband's family is supportive.
Story 5 - She know she is the AH. She start by saying that her husband told her to trust his lawer and she didn't. Than, "she try to fix her mistake" by making another one. Anyway... .how do you do to loose 7 figures!! Does she has any concept of good or bad idea? Is she able to recognized at least a little who she can and who she can't trust?!? I pity her daughter. And if I was her, I would start to have my own account and get as far as possible before her mom do another "repair".
Story 2: I sure hope someone sane gets permanent custody of those 6 kids -- IMO, they would be better off never being under their mother's "care" again. Letting your kids harass an entire establishment's clientele for half an hour because you feel like picking a fight with someone is extra-level horrible...
Story 2: If someone is screaming at me like that then has the audacity to throw coffee not only all over me but my work. I'm throwing hands and these hands are rated E for everyone. If that's not classed as self defense, I don't care, you don't do that crap to people. Normally, I am quiet and calm enough to handle getting screamed at but as soon as someone assaults me all bets are off.
Indeed. In the insanely unlikely chance that we ever win something, the first call is to a lawyer, and then a money manager. The winning ticket is going to a trust fund to ensure that we don't go broke unless everything goes so pear-shaped that everybody, even Elon Musk and Charles Schwab, are broke too.
About story 4, OP doesn’t give a good example to her kids by her behavior towards her parents. She acknowledged the fact of been mistreated by them, when she was young, but still tried to minimized what happened at the end of their visit her children and she. I agree with all the comments below saying that OP needed therapy.
Story 1 - In any other group of people, that would be the perfect time for a “Bye, Felicia!” but clearly, Felicia is the Han Solo of this story, and deserves nothing but mad respect.
Story 3: I hate when people try to influence dying people's wills so they take everything and sell to make a quick buck. Sure, he could get a lot of money, but it's worth none when everyone cuts ties because of his stunt. I'm just glad that the septic tank happened to be on someone else's land so Grandpa could throw a spanner in the works
Story 4: grandparents need to be no contact. Mom needs therapy. Story 5: totally the a-hole. You don't steal from your kids to throw good money after bad. Sell the house
That Malibu story is a really old one, I remember coming across the post a long time ago. I wonder what ended up happening and if her daughter is doing well now. I really hope she is and I hope she cut all contact with her mom because that was such bullshit. The mom saw the amount of money and just went nuts. She knew what she was doing was not sustainable or smart but didn't care. She just wanted to look good
Last story: Another person who confuses "lots of money" with "all the money in the world". Even multimillionaires go broke when they spend like they're billionaires.
Idk why but man 23:05 really gets me for some reason, like • _"I decided to move my daughter and I to Malibu because we always dreamed of a home next to the beach"_ and of all the beautiful beaches you could have purchased a home near, you decided that your beachside home just HAD to be in the most stupidly expensive area possible huh. • _"My husband was exceptionally tight fisted and called homes there money pits"_ *yeah you sure proved him wrong*
Story 5: WTF.... There are no words. AH, AH, AH, AH. Anyone who blows through 7 figures shouldn't be trusted with money, and OP doesn't even realize how massively they f'ed up.
Story 2: While it is admirable to not strike after the coffee was thrown, it is allowed under law as it was an assault and fighting back is allowed at that point.
On the Karen wanting them to watch her daughter while she goes clubing - Good thing she lost custody. Perhaps her daughter will have a chance to grow up to be an actual human being.
Story 2: This is why I try to carry some kind of self-defense weapon (Usually knives or tonfa). You really never know when someone just wants to fight and needs a reality check
In German we can it "verbal diaria" when someone is just talking and talking without making much sense or providing any insights to anything interesting 😂
4: watch me tell my mom and stepdad to get wrecked and leave promptly. I will never ever accept that kind of behavior, I learned how my mom is and realized the warning signs, I don't let that crap slide.
There's an unfortunate thing that happens during a divorce. One partner wants custody just to hurt the other partner or purely for financial gain. The children are seldom treated well because they're viewed as a burden.
Anyone who thinks it's ok for ANYONE to sleep on the floor for five days hates you. Adult or child, no one should sleep on a hard floor. I'd have sued her for the nasty stunt she pulled. Or at the very least make sure EVERYONE knows what she did. Let her explain to her neighbors and friends why her family wants nothing to do with her.
Story 5: why do I have a feeling OP was one of those people who were never taught how to budget and manage her money. I don’t deny OP loved her husband but something tells me she first fell in love with the idea that he’s a doctor and will be making a lot of money. Husband probably put her on an allowance to prevent her from spending like crazy. I’m surprised the husband didn’t put some legal block preventing the wife from accessing the daughter’s education fund. I know this doesn’t apply to most of us. But if you have money to spare learn to not spend it. I get the temptation. I let a friend rent a room from me 15 years ago for dirt cheap so the friend could save money to buy a house. Friend ended up spending it.
Re: the granddaughter who was manhandled at the pool by her grandmother and step-grandfather The pool should have CCTV. Ask for a copy of the incidents in case you decide to press charges, and also, talk to management and ask them to ban those horrible people for abusing a minor.
That last story reminds me of the episode of Kitchen Nightmares where the father stole half a million from his son to open a restaurant, and had convinced himself that his son "put the money into it".
Story 2: my response to the Karen if she got in my face, before she threw the coffee in my face, would be “if you don’t get out of my face right now, your children will lose their mother. Permanently”
2nd Story: That Crazy Karen rightfully deserves to not only be arrested for throwing hot coffee at OP, but she also deserves to lose all custody of all six of her bratty little hellspawn who all deserve to be put into foster care.
Story 4: I don't understand ... *Why on earth* would Opie (Important_Chef_4717) drop the idea of inflatable mattresses because someone who wouldn't be affected _in the slightest_ pretended to be "upset"? _Update:_ Oh, Opie is a victim of abusive parents, and still hadn't recovered even by the end of the story.
Mom and Dad would be in jail if they did that to my daughter and I COULD make the charges because the kid was scraped up. Cancelling the tickets is fraud, plain and simple, because Mom had to use her daughter's name and social to be able to cancel them. Fraud by stolen identity. I WOULD do it, because there has to be a time when they find consequences for their actions. Sorry, I'm a grandmother with adult and teen grandkids and there's NO way I would treat any of them like that and anyone who does will have Granny Charlie to answer to.
10:01 When your kids are causing trouble in public, random strangers have more of a right to tell your kids how to act than you have to be irresponsible.
Re the Dragged into the Pool story, OP needs to stop using the 1500-mile separation as if it were a meaningful buffer and go NC. Including tell her parents that police will be called if she sees them near her home.
I'm 32 and if I behave that way when I was younger like the kids in story 2, you can bet that my parents would haul me out of there. I'm also on the Autism spectrum, so my parents did not use that as an excuse for when I misbehaved.
I'm glad your parents were able to teach that to you. So many others would rather blame acting out on the condition itself rather than teach self control and to be accountable for their actions. Granted, there are different degrees on the spectrum and that's when it's the parent's responsibility to know what their child can or cannot handle, then act accordingly.
On the abusive grandparents who dragged the granddaughter into the pool, definitely file a police report to get their behavior on record. Eventually those narcisistic abusers will try to reestablish contact and that report will be a key factor in getting a restraining order against them, or at a minimum having a court refuse them demanding grandparent right.
If my parents had done that to my Daughter, I'd have called the Police from the pool and had them Arrested for Assaulting a Minor and Child Abuse...Then I'd call a Lawyer to Sue the Unholy Howling HELL out of both of them, then Filing for a Restraining Order (No Contact, Stay Off From My Property & Stay A Minimum Of 100 Yards Away From Me AND My Family At All Times!!!) before going Full No Contact from them...
Story 4 op needs to grow a spine. Says she won't put up with abuse but is doing almost nothing BUT putting up with abuse. She needs to listen to hubby and protect her kids And holy heck. Story 5. "Hubby said listen to the lawyer. But I wanted to ruin my daughter's future so I dumped all of it in the ocean"
I'm curious, the mother in story 2 said the police know her. Does she mean in a friendly way, or that she has a record so long it makes Jormungandr look small?
I'm sorry, but story 2... If it was me who had hot coffee thrown in my face? That ladies lights would have been out in seconds... Possibly permenantly... Consequences be damned.
OMG Story 5: This is what happens when one spouse handles all of the money/major decisions in a relationship. The other is left clueless and helpless if something happens to the manager. It sounds like the Mom didn't mean poorly, but just had absolutely zero real world common sense and got taken advantage of by snakes. She is the AH for liquidating the college fund, except that if she didn't, it sounds like they would be homeless. So that's probably not better for the daughter.
She bought a house in one of the most expensive places in the US and has a mountain of credit card debt. AND steals money from her own child to pay for it. She's nacissistic and a thief.
@@dazerla true, though for all we know, he didn't involve her because he knew she was a financial idiot. Maybe he had during their very early marriage, who knows. But he did know enough to know that whether it was partly his fault or not, she didn't know, and he set her up with people to take care of the issue for her. His real fault is in not setting it up in a trust that wouldn't allow her to touch the principal.
No she was plain stupid. Her late husband told her to trust his lawyer. The one thing she didn’t do. Only what he could do better was setting up trust funds.
Story 2 - Good on OP for keeping a cool head instead of falling into Karen’s trap and for pressing charges. This kinda reminds me of the lady who threw hot soup into a cashier’s face.
It's not a trap anymore after the coffee was thrown. By law, you're allowed to put her in her place to stop anymore attacks from her at that point, since that's battery the karen just did.
Story 1: I can’t stand people who do that, parents that try to dump their kids onto others without even asking. We had a woman try that on my mom and tried to leave her 10 year old daughter at my mother’s place. My mother ended up calling the police and it never happened again after that, plus my mother didn’t even know who this woman was to begin with. Story 2: Glad OP pressed charges, that is how entitled people learn. But if she has learnt anything, her mouth will likely get her a bunch of fives right in the face, All talk and No Fight; in my opinion. Story 3: There is a special place in Hell for people like Lee who do that. It will be only a matter of time for Lee to file for bankruptcy and no one will be willing to help in the end and he will have no one to blame but himself in the end. Story 4: That was child abuse, dragging OP’s daughter into the water like that and getting scraped by the pool’s edge is clearly assault upon a minor. OP needs to report her parents to the police. OP cut off your parents because they are a danger to your children. Story 5: OP is a complete idiot!
I have only met one person who went somewhere just looking for a fight. He himself verified it by politely asking people in the park we were drinking in if they wanted to fight. He got his fight, I guess, as I later saw a dude kick him in the face while he was down.
Story 3 : thanks god in Belgium, you CAN'T legally do that. One half of your capital is to distribute as you see fit (donation, share between your heirs, etc.) but one half is reserve by LAW to your direct heirs. You can't disown someone in my country and it's a good thing ! Story 4 : I can swim but I'm deadly scared of water (old trauma where a teacher threw me in the pool when I couldn't swim... I had to take private lessons until my 14' before I could manage)... One of my friend didn't take "I'm just dipping my feet in the water and that's it" well and tried to drag me in like the grandparents...... He ended up with a black eye and a broken nose.....
It sounded like there were a lot of people there and the shouting could’ve been dismissed as play…I’ve seen some videos of me playing as a kid and I sounded like I was being murdered 😂
Shouting wouldn't have been the giveaway. Busy pools have a constant roar that's difficult to decipher. You watch for specific movement patterns. Forced entry should have been an engrained one and elderly are considered moderate risk, so they should have been noticed. Most pools are understaffed, so there probably wasn't enough zone coverage. Either that, or the lifeguard was younger and afraid to confront the adults, a common problem that I had to train out of many a guard. If any of my teams had let something like that slide, they'd have gotten an earful.
The Cafe story my only comment is I have knee issues from an car accident and I have to stretch it out every so often to help with pain and if there are kids running around and not paying attention I hope they don't trip over my leg
Story 4: I agree with the commenter about photographing the injuries and getting with a lawyer. Some states have "Grandparents Rights" that OP needs to block immediately.
So um, did anyone else notice that some of what he said after reading the last story was, word for word, taken from the top comment on that post (to quote) "You decided not to listen to the lawyer, you decided to move to an extremely expensive place, and you decided to trust someone's shady advice. Now you're taking away your daughter's chances of being able to go to college loan-free. That money is not yours. You should be ashamed of yourself." Like, my dude, just say you're reading the comment and stuff like you did not much earlier in the video.
2nd one; That is "Malicious Assault", Jail time. AND you are by Law, allowed to defend yourself, with a Right cross to the Jaw{Quickly}(This type of TRASH counts on their Big mouth, making people back down, the falling to the floor won't work as, To Bad So Sad, Self Defense). The store owner should have called cops immediately..🤔👮♀....
Story 2: sure it ended with the bad mother in jail, but I really wanted more. And poor kids. Hopefully there's a non-criminal relative who will take better care of them.
Story 3 - The attorney has allowed & co sign a will change while she was often on morphine? It's kind of shady! I hope there were some circonstance that put pressure to finalize or to close the will (like the absence that might has result in thing being disperse out of the familly for I don't know which reason), otherwise it seem to me like a bad attorney or that he got something out it.
My dad is an accountant, and he's told me flat out that if I ever get a significant amount of money, trusts are the way to go because people see the number of zeroes and suddenly can't think responsibly.
It's stories like this on channels like this that has prompt me to make a RUclips playlist called "your world as I see it" just to put videos of karens, dumb criminals, and idiots doing dumb things in it.

Her husband left her with a lawyer between her and the money, very likely because he knew she couldn't handle it. Good for him, but he should have put the money in a trust with the lawyer as trustee.
In my opinion, she became the AH the moment she stopped taking her husband's lawyer's calls just because he was saying things she didn't want to hear.
story 4 sounds like assault. that lands people behind bars.
100%. Where were the lifeguards?
@@condorboss3339 I didn't think about that. but it was plain assault on the kid.
@@robertheinrich2994 And possible child endangerment depending on the location and age of the child involved. Serious time behind bars.
I'm personally extremely angry at the mother for not pressing charges. She might need therapy, but it is still shameful parenting: if she is not suing them for this, what else has she let them do to her children before? Having been abused in your own childhood (as this mother has, by the criminal grandparents) does not excuse you in the slightest for letting your own children be abused. Weak, irresponsible mother.
Story 4: "Well now your hair is wet, so now you can have fun." My god, I literally flinched when I read that line. It sounds like a minor thing, but with all the context surrounding it, that situation was the thing that pissed me off the most in the entire video.
Child Abuse, pure and simple! 😡
OP needs to go hard NC! I agree with calling police, get those abusers on record.
it was horrifying. and abusive. never see those people again. never.
Last story: Do you really have to ask??? YES, YOU ARE THE AH!!! All that work your husband did for NOTHING...smh. Your husband TOLD YOU to listen to his attorney but YOU KNEW BETTER?!? Now you're just about ass out, you had the gall to use your daughter's college fund, you let a 'money manager' waste all your husband's hard earned money and you are asking if you're an AH, YES MY DEAR, ONE OF THE BIGGEST ONES ON THIS CHANNEL!!!
Story 1 - OP and her friend Felicia are my heroes for putting Karen in her place. In the end Karen got what she deserved.
I’m also like OP, I’m always calm but I also have a temper but my Martial Arts training helps keep me calm.
Last story: And this gentlemen is why it might be not a good idea to marry a trophy wife
Story #4: OP should definitely get a lawyer involved.
I'm not sure if restraining orders can be put out preemptively, but in a case like this they really ought to. The grandparents sound like the kind of people who, if OP breaks off all contact, would eventually show up at OP's home doing who-knows-what.
Ok, the lady with the coffee. WHY were the police not called in as SOON as the coffee was flung. You have to know that the damn woman has done this before and had NO CONSEQUENCES. This is why people continue to do this. Nothing. frigging. happens. to them.
Last story: One of the rare occasions when I think the daughter should sue her mom (I'm German and we usually don't sue people every now and than). OP stole the money from her daughter just because she made terrible decisions. If you make mistakes - own them. Learn from them. And do not steal money from other people because it's the easiest way to avoid consequences.
If she can she definitely needs to take legal action, hopefully the courts can force her to sell the house to pay her daughter back. Then her daughter needs to go no contact.
The lady that threw coffee in OPs face, that’s assault and is a punishable offense.
Last story. The dad and his lawyer screwed up big-time, by not putting it ALL in a trust for the daughter, managed by the law firm.
Not surprised that the police know that woman in story 2; they've more than likely had dealings with her in similar scenarios.
1st story: Love this one.
4th story: I'd have looked into pressing assault charges on those parents, and amybe some kind of fraud for cancelling her airplane tickets? Glad OP's husband's family is supportive.
Story 2 crazy lady is going to either get herself killed by screwing with the wrong guy or she'll attack someone. She needs to be in prison.
Story 5 - She know she is the AH. She start by saying that her husband told her to trust his lawer and she didn't. Than, "she try to fix her mistake" by making another one. Anyway... .how do you do to loose 7 figures!! Does she has any concept of good or bad idea? Is she able to recognized at least a little who she can and who she can't trust?!? I pity her daughter. And if I was her, I would start to have my own account and get as far as possible before her mom do another "repair".
Story 2: I sure hope someone sane gets permanent custody of those 6 kids -- IMO, they would be better off never being under their mother's "care" again. Letting your kids harass an entire establishment's clientele for half an hour because you feel like picking a fight with someone is extra-level horrible...
Final Story - Uhh yeah OP is the AH, and stupid.
Story 2: If someone is screaming at me like that then has the audacity to throw coffee not only all over me but my work. I'm throwing hands and these hands are rated E for everyone. If that's not classed as self defense, I don't care, you don't do that crap to people. Normally, I am quiet and calm enough to handle getting screamed at but as soon as someone assaults me all bets are off.
If that cow pulled that with me, it would trip my "self defense switch" bigtime! She goes DOWN. 😡
If OP did fight back, I have no doubt that woman would yell for all her kids to attack OP as well, and they'd do it too!
The story of most lottery winners, if you can't manage a little money then you will not be able to manage a lot.
Indeed. In the insanely unlikely chance that we ever win something, the first call is to a lawyer, and then a money manager. The winning ticket is going to a trust fund to ensure that we don't go broke unless everything goes so pear-shaped that everybody, even Elon Musk and Charles Schwab, are broke too.
About story 4, OP doesn’t give a good example to her kids by her behavior towards her parents. She acknowledged the fact of been mistreated by them, when she was young, but still tried to minimized what happened at the end of their visit her children and she. I agree with all the comments below saying that OP needed therapy.
Story 1 - In any other group of people, that would be the perfect time for a “Bye, Felicia!” but clearly, Felicia is the Han Solo of this story, and deserves nothing but mad respect.
Story 3: I hate when people try to influence dying people's wills so they take everything and sell to make a quick buck. Sure, he could get a lot of money, but it's worth none when everyone cuts ties because of his stunt. I'm just glad that the septic tank happened to be on someone else's land so Grandpa could throw a spanner in the works
I don't get why it couldn't be contested seeing as the will owner was high at the end of her life should have disqualified an unfair will
@@syrusorelio2309 it was a long time ago so maybe the laws were different at that time?
Story 4: grandparents need to be no contact. Mom needs therapy. Story 5: totally the a-hole. You don't steal from your kids to throw good money after bad. Sell the house
That Malibu story is a really old one, I remember coming across the post a long time ago.
I wonder what ended up happening and if her daughter is doing well now.
I really hope she is and I hope she cut all contact with her mom because that was such bullshit.
The mom saw the amount of money and just went nuts. She knew what she was doing was not sustainable or smart but didn't care. She just wanted to look good
Story 5: Maybe the late husband's lawyer was furious for a reason
I dont even care whether story 1 was real or not cause LORD THAT FRIEND GROUP IS SPICY
*I loved it*
Last story: Another person who confuses "lots of money" with "all the money in the world". Even multimillionaires go broke when they spend like they're billionaires.
Story #2: throwing coffee at someone is considered as battery.
Bonus points to Felicia for being a badass
Glad to hear he ex has the kid. Hope he can undo the damage before she gets too old
Story 5 just infuriates me so much. She had ONE job, just listen to the lawyer. And instead she threw away 7 figures and ruined her daughter's life
Idk why but man 23:05 really gets me for some reason, like
• _"I decided to move my daughter and I to Malibu because we always dreamed of a home next to the beach"_
and of all the beautiful beaches you could have purchased a home near, you decided that your beachside home just HAD to be in the most stupidly expensive area possible huh.
• _"My husband was exceptionally tight fisted and called homes there money pits"_
*yeah you sure proved him wrong*
Story 5: WTF.... There are no words. AH, AH, AH, AH. Anyone who blows through 7 figures shouldn't be trusted with money, and OP doesn't even realize how massively they f'ed up.
Story 2: While it is admirable to not strike after the coffee was thrown, it is allowed under law as it was an assault and fighting back is allowed at that point.
story 1) "She fights like a girl, and I don't"
Amen, sister! preach!
On the Karen wanting them to watch her daughter while she goes clubing - Good thing she lost custody. Perhaps her daughter will have a chance to grow up to be an actual human being.
Story 2: This is why I try to carry some kind of self-defense weapon (Usually knives or tonfa).
You really never know when someone just wants to fight and needs a reality check
"but did you die?" Is never an acceptable excuse to having done something. And it is very much not synonymous with "having fun"!
"Oral flatulance" is a new part of my vocabulary
In German we can it "verbal diaria" when someone is just talking and talking without making much sense or providing any insights to anything interesting 😂
4: watch me tell my mom and stepdad to get wrecked and leave promptly. I will never ever accept that kind of behavior, I learned how my mom is and realized the warning signs, I don't let that crap slide.
There's an unfortunate thing that happens during a divorce. One partner wants custody just to hurt the other partner or purely for financial gain. The children are seldom treated well because they're viewed as a burden.
Anyone who thinks it's ok for ANYONE to sleep on the floor for five days hates you. Adult or child, no one should sleep on a hard floor. I'd have sued her for the nasty stunt she pulled. Or at the very least make sure EVERYONE knows what she did. Let her explain to her neighbors and friends why her family wants nothing to do with her.
Story 5: why do I have a feeling OP was one of those people who were never taught how to budget and manage her money. I don’t deny OP loved her husband but something tells me she first fell in love with the idea that he’s a doctor and will be making a lot of money. Husband probably put her on an allowance to prevent her from spending like crazy. I’m surprised the husband didn’t put some legal block preventing the wife from accessing the daughter’s education fund.
I know this doesn’t apply to most of us. But if you have money to spare learn to not spend it. I get the temptation. I let a friend rent a room from me 15 years ago for dirt cheap so the friend could save money to buy a house. Friend ended up spending it.
Re: the granddaughter who was manhandled at the pool by her grandmother and step-grandfather The pool should have CCTV. Ask for a copy of the incidents in case you decide to press charges, and also, talk to management and ask them to ban those horrible people for abusing a minor.
That last story reminds me of the episode of Kitchen Nightmares where the father stole half a million from his son to open a restaurant, and had convinced himself that his son "put the money into it".
Story 2: my response to the Karen if she got in my face, before she threw the coffee in my face, would be “if you don’t get out of my face right now, your children will lose their mother. Permanently”
2nd Story: That Crazy Karen rightfully deserves to not only be arrested for throwing hot coffee at OP, but she also deserves to lose all custody of all six of her bratty little hellspawn who all deserve to be put into foster care.
NEED to be put into foster care.
Story 4: I don't understand ... *Why on earth* would Opie (Important_Chef_4717) drop the idea of inflatable mattresses because someone who wouldn't be affected _in the slightest_ pretended to be "upset"?
_Update:_ Oh, Opie is a victim of abusive parents, and still hadn't recovered even by the end of the story.
Mom and Dad would be in jail if they did that to my daughter and I COULD make the charges because the kid was scraped up. Cancelling the tickets is fraud, plain and simple, because Mom had to use her daughter's name and social to be able to cancel them. Fraud by stolen identity. I WOULD do it, because there has to be a time when they find consequences for their actions. Sorry, I'm a grandmother with adult and teen grandkids and there's NO way I would treat any of them like that and anyone who does will have Granny Charlie to answer to.
10:01
When your kids are causing trouble in public, random strangers have more of a right to tell your kids how to act than you have to be irresponsible.
Re the Dragged into the Pool story, OP needs to stop using the 1500-mile separation as if it were a meaningful buffer and go NC. Including tell her parents that police will be called if she sees them near her home.
Final story - he told her to listen to the lawyer, she doesn’t and frivolously spends everything in such stupidity. Total AH
I'm 32 and if I behave that way when I was younger like the kids in story 2, you can bet that my parents would haul me out of there. I'm also on the Autism spectrum, so my parents did not use that as an excuse for when I misbehaved.
i too am on the spectrun and i take less than ABSOLUTELY NO $hit from no one
I'm glad your parents were able to teach that to you. So many others would rather blame acting out on the condition itself rather than teach self control and to be accountable for their actions. Granted, there are different degrees on the spectrum and that's when it's the parent's responsibility to know what their child can or cannot handle, then act accordingly.
Story 4 - the police should have been called about the child abuse. It is NOT poor parenting to teach your child that No means No.
Sad to say fluff but this happens to lottery winners all the time, they may win hundreds of millions and in a few years they are flat broke
Yea that story about pulling the kid into the pool is something I’d be pressing charges over. Pissed is an understatement.
Yeah, never threaten to fight. You just might get your butt handed to you or, more likely, trip yourself. 9_9
On the abusive grandparents who dragged the granddaughter into the pool, definitely file a police report to get their behavior on record. Eventually those narcisistic abusers will try to reestablish contact and that report will be a key factor in getting a restraining order against them, or at a minimum having a court refuse them demanding grandparent right.
If my parents had done that to my Daughter, I'd have called the Police from the pool and had them Arrested for Assaulting a Minor and Child Abuse...Then I'd call a Lawyer to Sue the Unholy Howling HELL out of both of them, then Filing for a Restraining Order (No Contact, Stay Off From My Property & Stay A Minimum Of 100 Yards Away From Me AND My Family At All Times!!!) before going Full No Contact from them...
holy hell...scorched earth, lol
Fluff had no mercy for the Malibu mom 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Story 4 op needs to grow a spine. Says she won't put up with abuse but is doing almost nothing BUT putting up with abuse.
She needs to listen to hubby and protect her kids
And holy heck. Story 5. "Hubby said listen to the lawyer. But I wanted to ruin my daughter's future so I dumped all of it in the ocean"
I'm curious, the mother in story 2 said the police know her. Does she mean in a friendly way, or that she has a record so long it makes Jormungandr look small?
I'm sorry, but story 2... If it was me who had hot coffee thrown in my face? That ladies lights would have been out in seconds... Possibly permenantly... Consequences be damned.
OMG Story 5: This is what happens when one spouse handles all of the money/major decisions in a relationship. The other is left clueless and helpless if something happens to the manager. It sounds like the Mom didn't mean poorly, but just had absolutely zero real world common sense and got taken advantage of by snakes. She is the AH for liquidating the college fund, except that if she didn't, it sounds like they would be homeless. So that's probably not better for the daughter.
She bought a house in one of the most expensive places in the US and has a mountain of credit card debt. AND steals money from her own child to pay for it. She's nacissistic and a thief.
Thank you!! Everyone is acting like the husband not involving her in the financees has no responsibility here.
@@dazerla true, though for all we know, he didn't involve her because he knew she was a financial idiot. Maybe he had during their very early marriage, who knows. But he did know enough to know that whether it was partly his fault or not, she didn't know, and he set her up with people to take care of the issue for her. His real fault is in not setting it up in a trust that wouldn't allow her to touch the principal.
No she was plain stupid. Her late husband told her to trust his lawyer. The one thing she didn’t do.
Only what he could do better was setting up trust funds.
Story 2: Lol this Karen peaked in high school. I don't know why would someone pick a fight because one right hook puts her to sleep.
TheKaren that lost custody to her ex. Now she can go clubbing all she wants.
The fourth story the OP needed to call the police for what her parents did.
😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
*Last story*
*WTF?! 35K for ONE mortgage payment?! What planet did she beam down from?!*
🤦🤬🤦
Story 2 - Good on OP for keeping a cool head instead of falling into Karen’s trap and for pressing charges.
This kinda reminds me of the lady who threw hot soup into a cashier’s face.
I remember that story to me it seems like Karen's like to throw things
@@brandypebler2054 Yeah I think she was later charged for assault
It's not a trap anymore after the coffee was thrown. By law, you're allowed to put her in her place to stop anymore attacks from her at that point, since that's battery the karen just did.
Story 1: I can’t stand people who do that, parents that try to dump their kids onto others without even asking. We had a woman try that on my mom and tried to leave her 10 year old daughter at my mother’s place. My mother ended up calling the police and it never happened again after that, plus my mother didn’t even know who this woman was to begin with.
Story 2: Glad OP pressed charges, that is how entitled people learn. But if she has learnt anything, her mouth will likely get her a bunch of fives right in the face, All talk and No Fight; in my opinion.
Story 3: There is a special place in Hell for people like Lee who do that. It will be only a matter of time for Lee to file for bankruptcy and no one will be willing to help in the end and he will have no one to blame but himself in the end.
Story 4: That was child abuse, dragging OP’s daughter into the water like that and getting scraped by the pool’s edge is clearly assault upon a minor. OP needs to report her parents to the police. OP cut off your parents because they are a danger to your children.
Story 5: OP is a complete idiot!
Story 2: The behaver of the children is one of the reasons some restaurants are putting a extra fee on some customers bills.
Story 1: For both of them to be able to lay the smackdown on Karen, Raven and Felicia must've been gym buddies.
I have only met one person who went somewhere just looking for a fight. He himself verified it by politely asking people in the park we were drinking in if they wanted to fight.
He got his fight, I guess, as I later saw a dude kick him in the face while he was down.
Story 3 : thanks god in Belgium, you CAN'T legally do that. One half of your capital is to distribute as you see fit (donation, share between your heirs, etc.) but one half is reserve by LAW to your direct heirs. You can't disown someone in my country and it's a good thing !
Story 4 : I can swim but I'm deadly scared of water (old trauma where a teacher threw me in the pool when I couldn't swim... I had to take private lessons until my 14' before I could manage)... One of my friend didn't take "I'm just dipping my feet in the water and that's it" well and tried to drag me in like the grandparents...... He ended up with a black eye and a broken nose.....
It's time for Spring to come to Fluffy's meadow!
Story 4... surprised a lifeguard didn't respond to the shouting at the pool.
It sounded like there were a lot of people there and the shouting could’ve been dismissed as play…I’ve seen some videos of me playing as a kid and I sounded like I was being murdered 😂
Shouting wouldn't have been the giveaway. Busy pools have a constant roar that's difficult to decipher. You watch for specific movement patterns. Forced entry should have been an engrained one and elderly are considered moderate risk, so they should have been noticed. Most pools are understaffed, so there probably wasn't enough zone coverage. Either that, or the lifeguard was younger and afraid to confront the adults, a common problem that I had to train out of many a guard. If any of my teams had let something like that slide, they'd have gotten an earful.
The Cafe story my only comment is I have knee issues from an car accident and I have to stretch it out every so often to help with pain and if there are kids running around and not paying attention I hope they don't trip over my leg
Story 4: I agree with the commenter about photographing the injuries and getting with a lawyer. Some states have "Grandparents Rights" that OP needs to block immediately.
Story 2: Id have pulled out the FAFO chart for her at that point. Way more patience than me
So um, did anyone else notice that some of what he said after reading the last story was, word for word, taken from the top comment on that post (to quote)
"You decided not to listen to the lawyer, you decided to move to an extremely expensive place, and you decided to trust someone's shady advice.
Now you're taking away your daughter's chances of being able to go to college loan-free. That money is not yours. You should be ashamed of yourself."
Like, my dude, just say you're reading the comment and stuff like you did not much earlier in the video.
Story 2: "Oh, of course they know you, Karen, they have your wanted poster on their wall."
2nd one; That is "Malicious Assault", Jail time. AND you are by Law, allowed to defend yourself, with a Right cross to the Jaw{Quickly}(This type of TRASH counts on their Big mouth, making people back down, the falling to the floor won't work as, To Bad So Sad, Self Defense). The store owner should have called cops immediately..🤔👮♀....
Story 2: sure it ended with the bad mother in jail, but I really wanted more.
And poor kids. Hopefully there's a non-criminal relative who will take better care of them.
Story 3 - The attorney has allowed & co sign a will change while she was often on morphine? It's kind of shady! I hope there were some circonstance that put pressure to finalize or to close the will (like the absence that might has result in thing being disperse out of the familly for I don't know which reason), otherwise it seem to me like a bad attorney or that he got something out it.
"... but it was hot enough to hurt." Apparently not enough to be beautifully articulate and sarcastic, too. Like hell that happened.
I would have called the police and have them arrested for assault and attempted murder they are dangerous to anyone
Story 4 is manipulation on the epic level. Good on OP for leaving right away.
OP should have called the police on her parents for abuse
Story 5 just proves my belief, that when it comes to money, don't trust anybody, not even yourself.
My dad is an accountant, and he's told me flat out that if I ever get a significant amount of money, trusts are the way to go because people see the number of zeroes and suddenly can't think responsibly.
It's stories like this on channels like this that has prompt me to make a RUclips playlist called "your world as I see it" just to put videos of karens, dumb criminals, and idiots doing dumb things in it.
