Teacher Insists On Talking To Mom, Parent Brings Wife's Ashes

It's pretty common for involved dads to not be treated with the respect they deserve for taking care of their kids, to the point that they get called "babysitters" rather than full-on parents. It's not fair in the slightest, and in one Reddit user's case, it's enraging since the childrens' mother is deceased. u/SandorYarpClegane wrote in the popular community for subverting demands, r/MaliciousCompliance, that once his daughter's teacher called home asking to speak with his wife — affectionately referred to as Mrs. Yarp — and hung up when he tried to explain she can talk to him instead.

This user said this kind of phone call happened multiple times in one week and then the family received a specific request for Mrs. Yarp to attend a parent-teacher conference. Fed up, the original poster decided to realize the term "malicious compliance" to its full potential: he brought along his wife's death certificate and urn and presented those to the teacher in question in front of several faculty members.

It's hard to imagine witnessing such an uncomfortable moment happen in real life. The worst part? The teacher wanted to tell her student's family that she wanted to move the daughter to an advanced math class. Good news — but her crucial mistake was thinking it was for mom's ears only.
