'Get a hobby': Mom berates 13-year-old for always being on her phone, teenager maliciously complies and starts playing the flute loudly and horribly every morning

Parents should be careful when lecturing their kids. Teenagers, in particular, are likely to twist their words and expose the parenting flaws at play, and honestly, who can blame them? Especially in this instance where we have a young 13-year-old whose mother couldn't stand the fact that her kid was constantly on her phone… as so many kids are in this day and age.

It goes beyond the technology dependence, though. The entitled mom was infuriated that her daughter wouldn't clean the house and bathe her baby brother. We're not talking about the kind of parent who needed an extra set of hands in this situation; we're talking about the kind of parent who was hoping to intimidate her kid into doing her bidding. So like any teenager would in this situation she maliciously complied. She started helping around the house when appropriate, but she also picked up a hobby so she wasn't on her phone all the time. However, the hobby in question was the flute… and the Redditor did not play it well. In fact, she practiced every morning loudly and horribly at the expense of her mother's sleep schedule. That's what you get, ma'am!
