You know the popular bullies who peaked in high school? The ones who can’t get over their glory days?
They grow older, but they don’t grow up.
The mother in this story bullies her own daughter behind her back, and pays the price.
Her boyfriend took to Reddit to share…
I’m a 40 year old man and my girlfriend of a year is 38. She has a daughter from a previous partner who is 14 and a freshman in high school.
I went over there yesterday to find my girlfriend crying.
I tried to figure out what was going on and where I can help when she told me she was crying about her daughter and how she is doing in school.
I love her daughter. She is the sweetest girl ever. I wish my daughters were as well behaved as her. I have to describe her daughter. She has a nice friend group, does not have trouble with bullies, and generally seems very happy. I bet you’re wondering why her mother would be crying if this was the case.
So the real bully reveals herself.
Her mother/my girlfriend was crying because her daughter is not the popular athlete cheerleader homecoming queen that she was in school. Her daughter marches to the beat of her own drum which I think is the best anyone can hope for.
Yes she’s a little bit dorky. But her own mother referred to her as a LOSER during this crying fit. She’s very into anime(her and some friends actually started an anime club at their school), Pokémon and video games. Most of her wardrobe is black t shirts with anime or video game characters on them.
Again, she’s a happy kid. She’s got her social circle who all have similar interests.
It’s just not the circle her mom wishes she was in.
The mother said some vile things…
Here are some quotes from her during this that turned me red: “I never would have imagined my daughter would be a dweeb” “she needs to grow out of this before college” and my personal favorite “I wouldn’t have been caught dead with kids that look like that”
I called her disgusting and told her she should be ashamed of herself. I said her daughter is happy and how would she feel to hear her mom crying about her perceived popularity. I told her how lucky she has it that her daughter doesn’t deal with a lot of the issues kids that days have.
Ah, the bully playing the victim.
This ends with her being upset with me because instead of consoling her when she was crying, I called her names.
I don’t think the crying means anything.
She was saying horrible things.
Readers were in an uproar alongside the writer.
One person warned to pay attention to the woman’s “true colors.”
This person said the girlfriend was simply not a decent human.
This reader felt some frustration at both the boyfriend AND the girlfriend.
Simply heartbreaking.
I’d say he should dump with her, but who is going to be there for the daughter like this guy!
