If you're a parent, then you know how annoying unsolicited parenting advice is. But you also know that it just comes with eh territory. Your mom, your mom's mom, your dad's mom, your partner's mom, your mom friends, your friends' mom, and any parent in-between will have something they want to say. It's super annoying, but you learn to just kind of nod and carry on with your own parenting. C'est la vie. It's like the fly that won't stop buzzing by your year, you swat it away when you can, but sometimes it's just flying around and you just have to keep doing what you are doing. One thing you should not do to rid yourself of an annoying fly is drop an atomic bomb.

Unfortunately, that is exactly what one mom did on Reddit, and yet she seemed to think she was still in the right. Her and her husband are both medical professionals, and her twin brother and sister-in-law are not. Her brother is currently in medical school and her SIL is a stay-at-home mom. They live on their parents property currently and they have to borrow money here and there. They're not living the rich life like the medical professional parents.

The rich mom posted to Reddit's subreddit r/AITA telling a story just oozing with entitlement. She was at an important event that her brother and SIL attended. Her own baby would not stop crying because it was teething and the SIL kept suggesting they give him a pacifier. It's recommended babies stop using pacifiers after 12-18 months due to potential dental issues, but this baby was only 10 months, so it probably wouldn't hurt. However, the Reddit poster got so annoyed about the multiple times she suggested it that she blew up at her in a room full of friends and family and completely demolished her. She gave her sh*t for being poor, told her her kid's teeth are disgusting because she had them on pacifiers for too long, and basically just called her out for everything. She dropped an atomic bomb on a fly, as the Reddit commenters describe.

Luckily, Reddit saw right through her BS and called her out for being an A-hole.
