Woman Demands Apology From Mom In Front Of Her Kids


This woman put up with a whole lot of chaos from some kids that were staying in a neighboring hotel room. Ultimately, she decided to remove herself from the situation. When the mom of the kids realized this was happening, she proceeded to make all of her kids apologize to her. Sounds like she was having none of the mom's attitude, and proceeded to ask for her to apologize. Mom did not take too kindly to this request.

Text - AITA For asking for an apology from a mom in front of her kids? | (25F) am traveling for work and staying at a hotel. I was sitting in my room and I hear yelling and screaming from the other room, it sounds like there are people running into walls and the TV is blasting. I am used to some noise in hotels it is only natural, but this was excessive to say the least. Over the next hour the noise continued and based on it I could tell it was at least a mother and her children. I knew this bec

Text - minutes later we started knocking to be let in again. After an hour I heard a knock and thought it was on my door so I checked, it was for the room next door. It was guest services telling the mother that 911 had contacted the hotel because her room number was calling repeatedly. The mother didnt say anything, just closing the door and guest services left. Another 30 minutes of this routine and I was done. So I asked to be put in a different room for the remainder of my stay. They were ve

Text - needed to be able to sleep for work. She told me to wait because she wanted her kids to apologize to me. I told her this was not necessary, I understood things like this happen because I did not want to prolong this experience anymore. She keep insisting and would walk in front of me if I tried to leave, then she called her kids into the hallway. There were 4 of them and the oldest could not have been more than 9. Then the mother lectured them about how their actions had affected me and r

Text - justsaynoJW • 15h • Partassipant [2] I think you had the perfect response! NTA!

Text - HangryRadishA • 14h NTA at all! She should be leading by example, as the kids are hers and she should have kept a better watch on them, or at least tell them to not be as loud. Usually, parents apologize for their kids' behaviours anyhow, so for her to completely turn around and call you a butt is pretty strange.

Text - coldgator • 14h • Asshole Enthusiast [3] Is there something more positive than NTA? This is fucking awesome. Good for you. She tried to blame it all on the children and inconvenienced you to make herself feel better by making them apologize. She sucks.

Text - everylastlight • 13h NTA. You would have just gone on with your evening but she made her parenting your business when she insisted you hang around for her to lecture her kids.

Text - meat_beaters • 14h NTA she was obviously scapegoating her kids for her behaviour and you called her out on that one

Text - IMSOASIANYUM • 10h NTA but, I might need an apology for that giant wall of text...

11.

Text - QuidNunc72 • 14h NTA-She's obviously got a screw loose. And there she is, in a motel room with four kids, making a disturbance. All you wanted was to be able to sleep, not to be a bit player in her absurd drama.

Text - MadronaPDX • 7h NTA. Those kids probably don't witness a ton of adult accountability but probably do experience humiliation as a form of behavior management at home. Calmly expecting an apology without demanding it or raising your voice showed the kids there are other ways to comport oneself than yelling and banging on doors, and that those ways can get results. As someone who has worked with kids for ages and a short time at a hotel, I salute you for your composure.

Text - Wait_No_What • 14h • Partassipant [4] NTA. She was 100% to blame. And she still owes you an apology.

Text - NadineP35 • 7h NTA. So she's basically leaving 4 children under 10 years old in a room alone????? Am I the only one who thinks that it's really being a bad parent? They're too young to be alone in a room , furthermore a hotel room. She started good to make them apologize but she also needed to do so too.

Text - lamJamm • 10h NTA at all. What the hell was the mother doing leaving 4 kids alone in a hotel room!? Yes, she was right to make them apologise to you but she should have also apologised for not keeping them under control. She obviously continued to let them run riot after you moved rooms.

Text - anonn86753099 •5h NTA. But why were 4 kids age 9 and under in a hotel room alone when mom didn't have a key to get in. Mom definitely should have apologized as well as the kids. Did the hotel staff realize that the kids were left alone? Or was this room one where the was adjoins doors but kids locked it? Still mom needs a better handle on the kids.

Text - Jacce76 • 14h• Partassipant [1] NTA I would not have been so calm. You did well.

Text - TheBedfordReader • 11h NTA. Wtf were those kids even doing?

19.

Text - adshef • 13h NTA and I applaud you for calling out her out for her lack of actual parenting. Lol at all the butt hurt parents in here voting YTA or ES H.

20.

Text - tech_GG • 13h • Partassipant [2] NTA She was, big time. Perfect reaction to uncover her double standard and bad parenting / neglect.

21.

Text - arcenas090 • 12h NTA at all. Usually in this kind of situations the mother is supposed to be a role model and would apologize on behalf of their kids but here this is not the case.

22.

Text - Jorean • 5h NTA. Sounds like the mom was just as much of a problem as the children. When someone is packed and leaving their room to get away from you, I think you are past the point of using them as a "teaching moment". You don't block their path and inconvenience them even more.

23.

Text - becauselifeis • 4h • Partassipant [1] NTA. She basically expected her kids to parent themselves, which is ridiculous to say the least. You were right in calling her out and expecting her apology. As a parent myself, parents like this annoy the hell out of me (yeah, have the pleasure of knowing a few of them). Kudos OP for handling the situation so well.

Text - KahlanEAmnelle • 4h So NTA. This mom was not watching her children and decided it was a "teachable moment" and making them apologise. If there was actual parenting involved, the apology may not have been necessary. Putting all the blame on the children is complete bullshit. The woman should have apologised for her kids without being told to. And she should have been in the damn room with the kids, but she wasn't because they would have made her miserable. Yeah, this worked out so much bet

Text - lifeinanutshell•6h NTA I don't know what to say more.

26.

Text - UndeadyBear • 4h NTA. I would say NAH because you guys seemed to handle it calmly but she blew up because she couldnt be responsible for her kids. Hopefully you got rest that night OP

Text - Red415510 • 3h Nta, you reminded her that she is supposed to deal with this. Frankly I am shocked that the hotel didn't kick her out.
