Woman Uses Husband’s Money to Repurchase a Bicycle He Took from Their Daughter
Do people like this really exist?
What kind of person takes a present that his daughter received for her birthday, returns it, and keeps the money? Not a very good one, that’s for sure.
It is hard to believe that there are people like this around us. But unfortunately, there are plenty of individuals who are selfish beyond comprehension.
Not being able to afford something for your children is every normal parent’s worst nightmare (after illness, of course). And with so many people working hard to provide for their children and their education, it is infuriating to know that there are those who take from their children.
A very disturbing story was shared on Reddit recently. A little girl received a bike for her 11th birthday, and she was overjoyed.
She had been wanting that bike for so long, and her uncle (even though he was struggling to get by) bought it for her. You would think that this present would also make her parents happy.
There’s nothing better than seeing your child happy. Well, that’s not the case for some people.
A Reddit user going by the handle u/mammabearxx3 posted her problem, hoping that people online would help her solve it. Let's take a look:
OP shared her problem:
RedditHer daughter (11) got a bike for her birthday from her uncle
RedditBut OP’s husband did the unthinkable. He returned the bike and took the money.
Reddit
His 'explanation' was that the bike was just a distraction because it was wintertime. He believed that the money should be spent on more important things.
Reddit
OP lost it and started yelling. This bike was a present from her uncle, who struggled to get by but still saved enough to buy it.
Reddit
OP wanted the money back, but her husband said he had spent it on household necessities. So OP decided to strike back...
Reddit
Her husband found out and lashed out at her:
Reddit
They fought, and he went out to smoke.
Reddit
The poor and confused child said that she didn't want the bike if her dad didn't want it.
Reddit
OP’s husband is still angry about the whole situation.
Reddit
So she asks:
Reddit
The Redditors were not kind to OP’s husband.
Reddit
This is a good idea.
Reddit
Smoking is expensive. If the family has money problems, it should be the first thing to go.
Reddit
$10 a pack. Smoking is really like burning money.
Reddit
One Redditor provided a good analysis.
Reddit
His money is only his. But other people's money is family money.
Reddit
This could be the case...
Reddit
But this is more likely. Narcissistic people don’t love kids because they are their kids, but because they are an extension of themselves.
Reddit
Sadly, this Redditor has a valid point.
Reddit
The bottom line is:
Reddit
It's hard to find words to describe this poor excuse for a human being. We believe that OP was already aware that she was right, and she only needed support.
She needed to tell her story somewhere, and she couldn't share it with her friends or family because they would be biased. Or maybe she isn't allowed to have friends or keep in touch with family.
Whatever the case may be, this story is disturbing on so many levels. We hope that OP will find the strength to save her child and herself from this toxic marriage.
