ADVERTIsem*nT
As writer Hanson O’Haver pointed out, there’s a pretty simple way to figure out if a joke is offensive: if the punchline is the victim, the joke is probably bad.
But pranks take this one step further. They not only laugh at the victim, pranks create a victim for the sole purpose of laughing at them.
So when Reddit user u/Small-Raspberry-6561 saw her son targeting his sister, she couldn’t just let it slide. After one particularly mean toilet incident, the woman made him clean up the mess, andher little one finally started to understand that his actions have consequences.
However, the woman’s husband thought it was bad parenting and confronted her about it.
This mom found out her son pulled a nasty prank on his sister, making her pee all over the bathroom

So the woman insisted he had to clean the mess, but the boy tried to talk himself out of it

My work ranges from serious topics related to toxic work environments and relationship difficulties to humorous articles about online shopping fails and introvert memes. When I'm not at my work desk, checking if every single pixel is in the right place, I usually spend my free time playing board games, taking pictures, and watching documentaries

The saran wrap on the toilet prank is so old, my Mom told me this was a common prank at her university back in the 1960s.I think the Mom was 100% correct to make the son clean it up. Your prank = your mess.

Was thinking the same thing. I remember the girls doing it (to each other) on a mixed touch football trip 30ish years ago. It's annoying, and gross but relatively harmless. The punishment certainly seemed more than fair though. In fact it sounds like the boy is the only one doing the pranks and (maybe) has trouble differentiating between what is and isn't an appropriate prank. So seems like time to step in and call time on all pranks. Dad is the biggest AH in the story though. Maybe he needs to be on the butt end of a few of the pranks.

Mom is too lenient and dad is an enabler. Her "punishments" don't seem like actual punishments to me except this instance of cleaning up the bathroom, and she shouldn't have allowed this kid to have a TikTok/Social media account(s) in the first place. Dad saying he'd purposely undermine her and unblock any apps the kid likes because of his "boys will be boys" is just toxic and way too out of touch for 2023. I feel so bad for the daughter and hope she has a better support network outside her family.

I think she is still being too lenient.Cleaning after your prank is not a punishment, it is a consequence of your actions, punishment should come after he cleans the mess he was responsible for
