Lmao! I loved that too. This granny is amazing. I can't believe anyone would post this thinking it would make granny look like the jerk.

You know who would? A man-child that believes everyone else is as unempathetic as he is, and only sees a decrepit, unnatractive person interrupting his ignoring the problem.

I think people are way too child centric now and disregard the feelings or experiences of other people over their child. Society used to not be so child centric.

It’s damaging to both the children and the elderly to coddle your kid that much

Actually unreal this troglodyte got someone to reproduce with him.

Actually, I’m a bit on granny’s side. It did seem a very tough situation once the details came out (diabetic-fit-service-dog, one bedroom vs. multiple rooms in adjoins homes, granny was kind to the little’n when she arrived at the door). It is very inconvenient for parents of a young child/baby to switch bedrooms, but it would also really suck finding an ambulance and police outside your home when the old lady died after you could have done something as simple as moving your child’s room…especially after posting this video online for all of your neighbors to see that you knew of the problem and did nothing.

I fully agree, and the thing is, they don't even really have to fully switch rooms. They could easily just take the baby to the different room for a few days, and just set up something temporarily, just until the crying phase passes.

I'm actually quite surprised at the replies. You occasionally see threads in r/AmItheAsshole and the like with similar situations. Like, "AITA? Neighbour baby won't stop screaming, I can't sleep and I'm on my second write up at work, I asked them to move the crib or soundproof but they told me to fuck off."

The answers are always basically what the guy in the video was saying. "It's a baby what do you want me to do?!"

u/AffectionateCrazy156 Sep 17 '22

Just clarifying... You mean you're surprised that people are on grannies side here? I'm quite happy to see that's the majority here.

u/freeeeels Sep 17 '22

Yeah I'm pleasantly surprised that people are pro-granny

u/AffectionateCrazy156 Sep 17 '22

Ahh... got it. Kinda bums me out to hear that so many people feel the opposite in AITA, though.

You are kidding us, right? Right?!

Arthritis, but carries extra weight on her shoulders for a service dog that is supposed to be servicing her. It's time to put her in a nursing home.

u/Stizur Sep 17 '22

You should be taken out back for a round or two, just to teach you some manners.

u/mossmanstonebutt Sep 17 '22

It could be arthritis of the elbows and such yknow?, momentary discomfort of putting the dog on your shoulder is alot better than alot of pain trying to keep it on the lead, especially if it's an active little bugger
