Kids are curious by nature and often ask numerous questions about most of the things surrounding them. Their questions can get pretty awkward, and most of the time, you will have to make your answers age-appropriate. 

Interacting with strangers while having kids can sometimes derail and go out of hand. Kids have no verbal filter and speak their minds freely without fearing judgment. 

Sometimes kids end up saying a comment about a person's looks out loud which puts their parents in a weird situation. Parents hate dealing with that, but it's a perfect learning opportunity.

A Redditor who goes by the username u/windmillto made a post on the r/pettyrevenge subReddit with the following caption: "Don’t use me to parent your kids." The user explained how a random mom used her to scare her kid into behaving, but it ended up backfiring on her. 

The mother's dehumanizing comment ended up working against her, but her child benefitted from it. She learned a lesson that day and will probably never repeat this mistake again.

The Reddit community had a lot of different reactions to  u/windmillto's post. Scroll down to check out the full Reddit post, and scroll a little further to read the comments from the original post. 

Here's the original post by Reddit user u/redditadmindumb87:

OP doesn't like it when people use her condition to make their kids behave.

OP decided to speak up this time after a woman compared her to one of Santa's elves.

Here's how the Reddit community reacted to u/redditadmindumb87' post:

That's also a perfectly logical response.

Kids are pure, and their questions are just out of curiosity.

Those are the three genders.

"Your quick wit was epic in response to Hunter's mom."

"I appreciate hearing that I may have done alright."

You can never control what your kids say.

The kid was right all along.

It's OP's favorite response out of all the ones she's ever heard.

"So far we have only been met with smiles and people willing to educate."

The comments were positive, but the staring can get a little overwhelming.

That must have made their day!

Never hold back any positive comments.

Kids can be pretty funny without even trying.

"We are all “painted” and variety is beautiful."

The mom learned many lessons that day.

The mom chose the worst way to do it.

Some parents will say anything to get their children to behave better.

OP has been hearing these dehumanizing comments her whole life and has every right to confront people whenever she feels it's appropriate. The mom could have chosen not to use OP to threaten her child, and she deserves the consequences of her actions.

It's heatless to talk about people in this dehumanizing manner and teach your kids that it's okay to refer to them that way. If you enjoyed reading this, make sure to check out similar content on our platform.
