This 21-year-old woman has a 28-year-old co-worker who she’s also friends with.

Her friend has a daughter who’s 5-years-old. Even though her daughter is delightful some of the time, she also has a tendency to be poorly behaved and entitled at other times.

From the time she was born, her friend’s daughter has been pampered and showered with tons of presents. Growing up, she hadn’t heard the word “no” very often from her parents.

Since it’s October, she has been desperately wanting to go to the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios.

Her boyfriend works at Universal Studios. One of the perks of his job is that he has free entry to the park in addition to a complimentary ticket that she uses. He also receives discounts on food and merchandise at the park.

Her friend and her friend’s husband were thinking about going as well, and on short notice, they planned to go with them.

“We were talking about it at her place when her daughter overheard. Suddenly, she was whining and complaining about wanting to go. This event is definitely not one you should bring your kids to. It’s full of jump scares, gore, and drunk adults. We are also planning to go at 8 p.m. and stay until 2 in the morning,” she said.

While she was at her friend’s house, her friend started talking about something else to try to distract her daughter, which seemed to work at the time.

Unfortunately, the night of the event, her friend showed up with her husband and their daughter, who was so thrilled that she was jumping around.

She questioned her friend if she was positive that this was a good idea, reiterating what the Horror Night entailed.

As they were in line, the employees in charge of tickets and security asked her friend and her husband if they were positive that they wanted to allow their daughter into the event.

‘Well, sure enough, 10 minutes past the gate, she was screaming and crying. The scare actors didn’t even go near her; just looking at them scared her. They kept her there for another two hours. We only did one of the 10 houses with them,” she explained.

Apparently, her friend and her friend’s husband wouldn’t have had any problems finding someone to babysit.

Her friend’s mother constantly watches their daughter for them. Before bringing their daughter to the Horror Night, her friend told her that her daughter would be spending the night at her mother’s house.

The day prior to the Horror Night, she ran into her friend’s mother while out grocery shopping, and her friend’s mother was gushing about how much she was looking forward to spending time with her granddaughter.

Their plans changed when their daughter demanded to go with them and threw a huge fit until they agreed to allow it.

Her friend’s husband held their daughter the whole two hours that they stayed, and they all had to frequently stop in their tracks because their daughter was too terrified to continue on.

Eventually, she had a private chat with her friend. She strongly urged her friend to bring her daughter home, adding that she and her husband need to start getting in the habit of telling their daughter no when she’s demanding something.

“I told her not to spoil her or give in to her all the time and that now she’s probably traumatized and isn’t going to sleep because they were reckless enough to bring her to something like this. She got extremely upset with me and said I would never understand because I don’t have kids,” she shared.

Despite not having children, she works at a daycare, and the children that she cares for on a daily basis are her friend’s daughter’s age.

Then, her friend told her that she was being heartless, saying that her daughter had the right to have fun at the event as well. But she responded, pointing out that it was painfully obvious that her daughter wasn’t having a good time.

After the disagreement, she and her boyfriend walked off and enjoyed the rest of the Horror Night by themselves.

Later, she learned that her friend relayed a twisted version of what happened to some of their mutual friends. In her friend’s version of the story, she painted her in a terrible light.

Sadly, their mutual friends took her friend’s side, and they all called her a jerk.

She asked some of her other friends for their opinions, and they said that she may have gotten too involved in something that wasn’t her business.

However, her boyfriend thought that her view made sense since she was concerned for her friend’s daughter and how the Horror Night would affect her.

Now, she wonders if she either shouldn’t have said anything or voiced her concerns in a more sensitive manner.
