Woman receives an angry email from her sister-in-law, detailing her 7-year-old daughter's food mess that she left under their dining room table earlier that evening: ‘I… was quite shocked and offended by the intensity of judgment and shaming’

Parenting doesn't come with a set-in-stone rulebook. Sure, there is plenty of source material and literature to help guide you, but there are some things that parents simply can't control. Children are messy; this is a fact. That's why when the woman in this story receives a lengthy email from her sister-in-law, which is filled with judgmental shaming concerning the woman's parenting skills because her daughter left a small mess under her dining room table, she refuses to engage in a combative manner. The truth is, kids are messy and prone to making mistakes. Is it really worth going nuclear on an in-law? Nope.

If you've ever hung out with a child, you know just how gung-ho you have to be sometimes. Of course, this shouldn't have to be anyone else's problem but their parents', but trying to reason with a 7-year-old and discipline them in the way you see fit, rather than allowing the parents to do it themselves, is another ballpark of entitled.

Nobody wants to hear that their child was acting out, making a mess, or causing trouble. You'd think that a family member would come to the couple in this story calmly, and when they first notice the behavior, but the sister-in-law waits until her anger boils over. Scroll below to read the full story.
