When a neighbor with seven kids demanded that I take the next elevator so she could fit in with her double stroller, I refused. She called me an a**hole, but was I in the wrong? I don't think people should have to make constant accommodations for those with kids, especially when they are rude and demanding. Many people have thanked me for standing up to her, but others have called me unsympathetic. What do you think? Read on to find out more about this encounter and decide for yourself if I am the a**hole.

Refusing to make accommodations for a demanding mother of 7. 😤
A neighbor demands people take the next elevator for her seven young children. She shoved people out and even forced an elderly man to leave. After a long day at work, the poster refused to accommodate her and made herself as small as possible in the elevator. The mother became irate and called the poster an a**hole. While some people thanked the poster for standing up to the mother, others called her unsympathetic. The poster questions whether accommodations should always be made for parents with young children. Read on for the reactions to the poster's actions.
