People Are Sharing Stories Of Kids Being Gleefully Disobedient After This Mom Said That It's Okay "To Call Our Kids Assholes"

"My niece ripped my new Fenty sponge and threw it at me after so I knew."

This is Malieka Roman with her two kids, 3-year-old Melodi-Rose and 8-month-old Hagen. They live in Fort Drum, New York.

Malieka told BuzzFeed News that last weekend, Melodi-Rose poured her juice on the floor and then gave her mom a death glare. "I really wanted to laugh, but you’ve got to be a parent," Malieka said.

She tweeted about the whole thing.

Look, we gotta stop acting like it’s a bad thing to call our kids assholes. Like my daughter just dead ass death gl… https://t.co/A7tzCufGOw

Malieka clarified that she never calls her daughter an asshole directly.

"I just mumble it under my breath, when she walks away," she said.

Tons of people responded, saying that kids' intelligence is underestimated. "They know what they're doing," one person said in response to the tweet.

"Kids aren't stupid and most people think they are," another person said. "THINK AGAIN BITCH. JOKES ON YOU."

This aunt said that her niece made the evidence of her tragic wrongdoing known, and threw the proof right in her face.

True. My niece ripped my new Fenty sponge and threw it at me after so I knew https://t.co/QskfGCiKRU

This kid also made her slight abundantly clear.

@mamalieky1 Agreed. My 5 year old told me I look tired and pointed to my eyebags to clarify her point

"Kids are pricks," someone else concluded, after sharing a story about a boy throwing toys and then laughing about it.

Apparently some people use acronyms so that they can more discreetly incorporate the use of "asshole" into their homes. In this house, toddlers are TFAs which stands for "Tiny Fuckin' Assholes."

In our house we call the 3 & 4 year olds “TFA’s” which translates to “tiny fuckin assholes” lol https://t.co/ND7UXcuE96
