Dungeons and Dragons is an all-encompassing game. A player must immerse themselves in the lore of the character, visualize the treacherous caverns of their DM's fantasy world, and they can completely hurl themselves into the exhilarating world of make-believe. But with a sticky-handed toddler putting choking-hazard game pieces in their mouth and chasing down the highly-anxious family dog, it's tough to focus on your highly anticipated game play. 

This is why it's always so hard for parties to invite a new player into the fold. You never know if your friend-of-a-friend is going to be an entitled mom who brings along a saucy two-year-old to your game night, set on ignoring every house rule and ruining the sanctity of your DnD night. This Dungeon Master wasn't having it and put her foot down against a woman who treated her home like a rule-free playground.

  • In my opinion, this DM was pretty level-headed in handling this situation. After being clear about their house boundaries, like ‘Don’t touch the dog,' ‘Don’t dirty the game pieces,' and ‘Don’t destroy the guest bathroom,' they managed to give this entitled mom three strikes before calling her out! Keep scrolling for the entire story of DnD mishaps that should never go down on our most sacred of weekday evenings: Game night.

  • "AITA for yelling at a mom and her kid to get out of my home?"

    A few months ago, I (28F) started a new DnD campaign and invited a few friends. One of them, "Sarah", asked if her friend "Anne" could join. Anne is a mom who doesn't get many chances to hang out with

  • adults, so I agreed, even though I knew she might be flaky due to childcare responsibilities. I asked Anne if she could attend at least the first few sessions to get familiar with the game, and she agreed.

  • She then proceeded to cancel, mostly last minute, every proposed first session for the next two months. I told her I'm sorry but if she can't make it to the next proposed session, she won't be in
    via Tick_agent
  • long campaigns (still welcome to join one-shots). She apologized and said she'll make it. She made it. But brought her toddler without asking.
    via Tick_agent
  • As soon as they came the kid needed to use the bathroom. He made a mess since he can't fully use an adult toilet yet. I told Anne that's fine but asked her to clean it up. This surprised her and she started being a bit on edge.
    via Tick_agent
  • We finally sat down at the table and the kid started running around, looking for things to do. I was a bit stressed out by this. Anne noticed and put him in her lap. But now the kid was at the table, which was
    via Tick_agent
  • covered in mini figurines, dice, pretty pictures and maps, most being a choking hazard, along with glasses of various drinks. The kid started fussing about wanting to play with them, I was telling Anne

  • no because it's not safe, she told me he's gentle and doesn't put stuff in his mouth- we bickered while her kid was throwing a tantrum. After the kid knocked over a glass, I loudly asked her to step

  • out into the backyard and calm him down a bit while I make the table safer. She did, visibly embarrassed, and I removed everything except for plain
    via Tick_agent
  • looking papers, pens and paper cups. I also did my best to calm down as this entire thing stressed me out to hand back at this point. They came back and things were
    via Tick_agent
  • fine for a minute. That is, until my dog came out of my bedroom to drink water. Now, I don't have many house rules, but I have one that's important: "Ignore the dog", they were informed of that before
    via Tick_agent
  • coming over. The kid spotted her and yelled "DOGGY", Anne put him down "to say hi", he made a full speed beeline at my dog while making grabbing motions and yelling. I stopped him by stepping
    via Tick_agent
  • out in front of him, he ran into me, fell down and started crying. Anne started screaming at me, I screamed back, and very swiftly told her to get the f out of my home. Sarah was annoyed and told
    via Tick_agent
  • us it took them an hour and a half to get to me, then went with Anne since they carpooled. The rest stayed, it was awkward for half an hour or so, but we ended up having fun and they even stayed for the night.
    via Tick_agent
  • I then woke up to the local fb groups and people's instagram stories calling me a controlling ahle, saying I'm "discriminating" against various players, being too strict and "have a dangerous dog". To add insult to injury, Sarah, who I've been friends with for years, is not speaking to me. So, AITA?

  • NotCreativeAtAll16 NTA. If she couldnt find childcare, the least she should have done is reach out to you to make sure she can bring her toddler to your house.
    via NotCreativeAtAll16
  • The second she didn't want to clean up after her kid is when I would have kicked her out, but she should never have brought him without clearing it with you first.
    via NotCreativeAtAll16
  • Eastern_Condition NTA., but as a guest, I would be thankful you kicked them out. I would want to say something to them myself, but it not being my home, it's not my place. If you allowed them
    via Eastern_Condition
  • to continue to come, I would opt out to playing altogether. Also, after waiting all this time for the new campaign to start, just to have it ruined would have pushed me over the edge. I'm patient, but to a
    via Eastern_Condition
  • point. I don't tolerate blatent disrepect, which is what this was from Sarah as well as Anne. I would have called her out, "You didn't bring anything to keep him occupied?" It
    via Eastern_Condition
  • doesn't take being a parent yourself to understand basic crop about kids, aka, THEY GET BORED EASY, especially around a bunch of adults who are pre-occupied with adult things.
    via Eastern_Condition
  • cschmidtusa NTA. Anne completely disregarded your boundaries, repeatedly flaked on the game, and then brought a toddler without asking-after all that. You accommodated as much as possible, but there are clear limits when it comes to safety, respect, and your own home.
    via cschmidtusa
  • • The bathroom incident? You reasonably asked her to clean up after her child. • The toddler at the table? You adjusted the setup to make it safer and less stressful.
    via cschmidtusa
  • • The dog situation? That was 100% Anne's fault. She ignored your one house rule, put her kid in an unsafe situation, and then had the audacity to scream at you when you prevented harm to both your dog and her child.
    via cschmidtusa
  • She left because of her own poor decisions, not because you were unreasonable. Sarah taking her side and letting this blow up into public social media drama is unfair
    via cschmidtusa
  • and immature. You're not "discriminating"; you're enforcing basic respect in your own home. The people trashing you online weren't there and clearly aren't worth your time.
    via cschmidtusa
  • Let Sarah cool off, but don't second-guess yourself. You set clear expectations, and Anne trampled all over them. If anything, you were too accommodating.
