Daughter Makes Her Mom Apologize To A Woman She Humiliated For Being Overweight In Public
But this mom didn't learn a lesson; instead, she felt let down by her daughter.
Some people can turn a quiet walk into a public humiliation in seconds. In this story, a Redditor says her mom mocked an overweight woman sitting on a bench, then acted shocked when the moment came back to bite her.
The daughter was with her mother when the comment was made, and instead of letting it slide, she pushed her mom to apologize on the spot. That only made things messier, because the mother did not take the correction well and later threw a tantrum at home.
Now the family is split over whether the daughter did the right thing, and the comments are just as blunt as the original insult. Read on.
This is how it all began.
Straight_Aside_1143I'd be mortified too.
Straight_Aside_1143Wow, this mom didn't learn a lesson.
Straight_Aside_1143
The comments are already taking sides.
Agreed.
Straight_Aside_1143
I'd like to agree with this too.
Straight_Aside_1143
Exactly.
Straight_Aside_1143
Yeah, maybe that whole situation made the other woman uncomfortable.
Straight_Aside_1143
It is on the mother, 100%.
Straight_Aside_1143
People are not holding back here.
Yeah, I wonder why she'd even talk like this on purpose.
Straight_Aside_1143
Yeah, I agree with this.
Straight_Aside_1143
Mom was humiliated because of her own actions.
Straight_Aside_1143
I really don't know. Wow.
Straight_Aside_1143
Good point.
Straight_Aside_1143
That apology did not fix the mood at all.
This also echoes the AITA where OP confronted a family friend for inappropriate comments at a casual gathering.
Meanwhile, some people think this whole story is made up.
Straight_Aside_1143
Correct.
Straight_Aside_1143
Instead of feeling sorry for her actions, she threw a tantrum.
Straight_Aside_1143
Uh. No comments.
Straight_Aside_1143
Calling a spade a spade.
Straight_Aside_1143
The debate keeps getting sharper.
Another good point.
Straight_Aside_1143
I would have too.
Straight_Aside_1143
Exactly; you point a finger, and three fingers point back at you.
Straight_Aside_1143
It's wrong to bully.
Straight_Aside_1143
Because they don't want to be schooled.

What do you think about this entire situation? I know no one asked, but different people have different ways of approaching this issue.
While some believe that the original poster should have apologized and left, others think she did the right thing by making her mom apologize. The mom, on the other hand, didn't learn a lesson.
Instead, she threw a big tantrum at home.
It's wrong to bully anyone, not just overweight people. No one has the right to bully others.
I believe the more we discuss the issue of bullying, the more people will realize that gaining fame and feeling superior by humiliating others won't last.
Bullying always comes back around.
Mortified by that public weight-shaming? See how one cousin dog-walking refusal blew up.
