Sometimes OS just posts up with a take that needs to be shot out into the world, and today’s AITA-like entry comes from parenting corner as TarHeelPhenom asked fellow OSers if he was wrong for this:
OSers were happy to share their thoughts and shared experiences in this realm as they mostly all supported TarHeelPhenom in his “life lesson” venture. A_ZomBevo shared this one:
I had done the same to my nephew when he challenged me to NFL Blitz 2000 three years ago. I beat him by 40+ each games, he was demoralized because he talked a big game. Last year, he challenged me again. He proceeded to hand my *** to me on a silver platter. I couldn’t have been more proud.
And salty.
But mostly proud.
In the words of the late Iron Sheik…
“I made him humble.”
He started trash talking before the game, and I trashed talked him during and after. He is now headed to bed in silence. We played 5 minute quarters with 14 second accelerated clock.
However, I share with ForUntoOblivionSoar and want to echo these thoughts:
Just make sure you stop taking rematches by the time he can beat you.
Always go out on top, baby. Anyway, a Parenting 101 faux pas or just the right amount of ownage?
