0:00.0 | My entitled sister refuses to parent her kids, allowing them to destroy my house and to face my |
0:05.7 | property. And after she told me that she does gentle parenting and that she doesn't believe in any |
0:10.8 | kind of discipline or punishments, I said enough is enough, resulting in me kicking her entire family |
0:16.2 | out of my house as I simply couldn't take their awful behavior any longer. So now, my sister's calling me a |
0:22.0 | jerk stating that I had no business to kick them out of my house. And at this point, I seriously |
0:26.8 | don't know what to do. Here's what happened. This story also came from the Am I the Jerk subreddit. |

0:35.2 | and her family, which includes her, her husband and her two |

1:04.9 | are fully grown now. She explained to me that gentle parenting means that they don't do timeouts |
1:09.7 | and they don't do grounding, |
1:11.2 | but instead they just talk about their feelings. I thought it was a bit odd because it sounds like |
1:15.4 | there's zero discipline going on, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to rock the boat. |
1:20.2 | Well, that is until I saw this gentle parenting in action, and trust me when I say this, |
1:24.4 | I was completely appalled. During the first two days of their stay, |
1:28.0 | her daughter drew on my walls with crayon, and her son pulled up flowers I had recently planted |
