A rude practice nurse who was repeatedly insisting to a mother that her adopted child "wasn't hers" received an absolute earful from the mother. However, when she got home, her husband told her that she should not have blown up on the nurse like that.

This story was posted today to Reddit's "Am I the A-Hole" subreddit by Reddit user u/whattheactualf-ck13, the mother in the story. She posted the story to the popular subreddit to get commenters' opinions on whether her response was warranted or over the line.

Commenters have voiced overwhelmingly that her reaction was appropriate and have encouraged her to report the nurse to the office's manager. The two most upvoted comments below sum up the bulk of the responses.

"As a nurse..... call the office manager and report that nurse The amount of obscenities I want to use would probably get me banned.... but she was beyond unprofessional for every single word of that AND she said it in front of your daughter?! I guarantee that is not how we are taught in nursing school. I am so angry on your behalf.
But please.... please. Report her."

"NTA, but please report this nurse. It's incredibly unprofessional, and she needs to be reprimanded. Who knows what insensitive thing she'll say to someone a lot more vulnerable?
She makes my blood boil, I'm so mad on your behalf."
