Step mom and dad thought I was asleep and said "think he's always going to be that fat?"

My father help me move into a cheap apartment, and then told me I'd probably die in it

You know, my parents aren't the best, but reading some of these comments made me realize how fucking lucky I am

Pls appreciate ur parental lot in life. If you've got sympathy, support those who were not so lucky.

if anything I was a shitty teenager and didn't appreciate my parents until after my early 20's. No parents are perfect, but man these commen

Calling an 11 year old a whore and 'bottom of the barrel' repeatedly is up there.
invaliduserformat
My mother was calling me a whore since I was 5 lol
Boldeyes
My mother was calling me a whore since I was 5. Broke a plate? Whore. Got a bad grade? Whore. Lost an umbrella? Whore.
Hopefully the name calling started before you knew the meaning of the word. If you knew what it meant, I'm sorry you had to go though that.
Pally01
Fuck them and fuck their lies. You're awesome!
CmdrBash
Had parents fight infront of me whether or not they should give me up for adoption, my dad pro and mom con, at the age of 7. Never forgot.
Why? Why did they talk about such a thing?
I'm not sure and may never know, whenever I've asked about it they get REAL sore about it and brush it off.
So at least they know they did something wrong… but I’m sorry for you.

Do you still speak with your father? I'm sorry you experienced that. Majorly f.u.
Cheomesh
I mean, being adopted out might have been in their best interest for all I know.
True, but seems like a conversation that shouldn't be had in front of a child. Best in private. Seems super emotionally traumatic to hear.
Yeah.
souleater2847
Mom called me slow and my brother clever when I was a kid. He’s a brain damaged felon and I support her now. I’ve never forgotten though.
Was he brain damaged at that time?
Years of drug abuse, but no. Was a carpenter fell of a scaffolding. Always been very manipulative with my mother.
Thanks for answering. I hope she is nicer now and appreciates what you do. Take care of yourself.
She is what she is lol. I appreciate your words, take care of yourself as well.

My father: you are so fat only a sick person could love you (i was not fat - yet- not skinny but normal) you are a monster
ChefBozo
My bi polor dad told me when i was 15 that I was fat as fuck and should stop eating so much and go for a jog
CanadianCobraChicken
My mom told me that the reason we couldn't talk was cause "I cry too much". Bitch said that in a therapy session that I insisted we have.
squade
I hope the therapist had some words with your mom after that
She told me at the next session she couldn't believe my mom said that. I think she was shocked at the time and I was, well, crying.

My dad told me “I didn’t want any kids. I just wanted to have fun. Kids were your mom’s fault.” ?
I was 50 for what it’s worth.

"you're fat and ugly, no one will ever love you if you don't shut your mouth" I was maybe 10

At 14, my mom told me I was worthless and that I'd die alone because no one will ever be able to love me.
She must hate her life.
How's that workin' out for ya? (legit question, no implied malice)

My grandma told my brother that he was naughty and no amount of good would make Santa give him presents.
GreatOdinsTaint
Which is factually incorrect. Predators usually choose victims based on perceived vulnerability, not looks.
BladeTurMoiL
I mean i can probably agree with the idea that someone isnt gonna pick someone who looks like they can kick their ass. But this idea seems..
to generalize way too much. Maybe that’s the final factor. i doubt some1 uggo but vulnerable is gonna illicit action from the typical rapist
stoicgoof
Especially if the predator sees the parent disregard the child's needs, fears, and complaints. Predators typically know their victim.
pazooPositivityPlayer
Makes sense considering my personal experience
ThomasThundersword
this comment is one of the few times “i hope you got molested as a child” is like one of the better options.

That's a really rare situation and Holy fuck your comment would go really well in r/evenwithcontext

dingofdong
There are several interpretations here, and I really hope the correct one doesn't involve a need to call the police. I hope you're doing ok
Axianamos
Speaking personally I was molested by 3 different dudes. It happened. Its part of my past. I try not to let it define me today.
Unfortunately I was a vulnerable but I'm doing well considering my childhood
That was my second least favourite interpretation, but I'm glad to hear you're doing well in spite of it
zenoshogun
I'm sure they'll be ok if you let them know about some vulnerable people. /s

And whether or not they can get away with it/whether others will believe the victim more than the rapist.

M4Firefly
do you really believe that? there could be multiple factors and both could be part of the many
There's nothing to believe, that's the outcome of interviews made with perps. It's also logical
what I meant was - do you believe that there is only ONE variable in determining all human behavior rgd assault? or is it mutifactorial
theres more than one variable even in the way people (or ciminals) buy/steal cars, other than availability/vulnerability
From all ur comments ur clearly a poorly disguised troll. If not, a Google search and Reddit is t remedy u need. Which u shld already know
If u r into research as u claim to be, u shld know better than go 2 Imgur 4 discussion, or frame poor parental beh as a joke. Begone troll
I think you are confusing "perspectives you disagree with" as trolling. thats ok common nowadays it doesnt bother me
god forbid someone has a legitimate opinion rgd what - multiple factors affecting behavior? lots more research on that. you can google them
Interviews are some of the lowest reliability data you can get. Scientifically speaking. And that's not particularly logical tbh. shrug
hymenochirus
Your right - we should ignore research in favour of some fucking idiot on imgur dot com.
TONS of research on how countless factors affect human behavior and crime. Read the research instead of "honest reports" from criminals.

My mom "dont worry, you can still wear white at your wedding even though you're a whore" was 19 and had my first semi-serious relationship

Gotta admitt that's a very harsh statement to say to your kid. Sorry you heard that.
It's a long laundry list of issues I'm dealing with by her hand. She was not a good parent and I'm still trying to heal
Wastyvez
Always funny how the generation that went through the sexual revolution when they were teens taught their kids that sex was a bad thing.

Overcompensating...
ButIMadeMyBedYesterday
My mom called me a whore when I was 19 and mentioned I had gone on birth control. Because ending up a single mom like her was goals I guess
I had been on birth control since 12 because of a reproductive condition. She never let me forget that. Yea she wants grandchildren but
tlisx
Is your mother my mother? I took bc at around 12 too, but when we moved my mother didn't take me to a doctor or anything to refill it. >>
When I got to 18 and had a serious relationship and sexual urges, I wanted to be responsible and get bc again, and she screamed that I was >
a whore. As if taking birth control suddenly just makes you sleep around. :/
I would never EVER trust her with a child.
What the shit.

Veraatje01
That's a weird ass thing to say. I just get asked why I can't just be normal, lmao.
TerribleBaconMistake
Are you screaming in the back seat of a car?
She was abusive in every way, including sexual abuse. Not the molesting type but more of the "your my child and I will do whatever I want
To your body without permission" it was things like punching boobs, pinching butts, making very inappropriate comments about our bodies,
Walking into the bathroom while we were showering or using the toilet, barging into the bedroom right after the shower or while getting
Dressed, neglecting our actual health. This is big, cause I never learned about sexual health outside of the assaults. My first bra was
i guess it depends if there was truth in it... and also whether she was joking
FuriousBakedPotato
Yeah, you can fuck off.
I can do that. But I still exist I hope that doesn't bother you
A parent calling their own child a derogatory term is ever ok? Even if ur kid is in fact a prostitute, would you not love n care for them?
No truth. I was a modest child, and lost my virginity at 19 with said semi-serious relationship. But she wouldn't have known that. Horribly
Abusive in every category. She had no provocation to the statement. It came out of the blue
Fair enough. I try to give old ppl benefit of the doubt because thats likely their honest belief rgd virginity in their times
Yea that would be a default, but her history is not normal. She accused me of sexting boys at a young age when in reality she was doing it
SouperScott
Their age means nothing, being shit is still being shit. And the only thing stopping them from changing is themselves.
HarmonyIsTemporary
Jesus Jumped Up Christ on a trampoline that is HORRIBLE. My mom said something similar to me when I was that age. Still feel it 30 yrs later
Yea it still hurts but I use it as motivation to set boundaries and get her as far away from me as possible
Good thinking my friend.
The worst part about that was also I had lost my virginity at 19 and that seems like a reasonable and responsible time in my opinion, not
Let me guess.. Your mom was Christian?
Catholic, but never went to church or owned a bible. All I knew of religion or god was "you're going to hell bc..."
That she would have that information in the first place but it made me feel horrible. Read my other comments on this thread for explanation

didnt matter that i didnt want her there or that i was in shock, truamatized, and couldnt understand that i was RAPED. it was MY fault. 2/
that moment shaped my entire life. mom was just trying to "gently" explain what had happened and he fucking exploded before she could 3/
even tell the entire story. 4/4
May I ask you what happened after that?
about 15 years of denial so strong i had a mental breakdown when it finally clicked that it wasnt my fault. my whole life i carried that 1/

My mother told me how my dad didn’t stay at the hospital when I was born and was caught with my now step-mom. She told me on my 18th

That's bad, but at least it's not a reflection on you. That's all your father, and possibly step mom if she knew he had a family

Some conversation starters to help you: What's the most complex thing you do in your kitchen? How are you coping with the existential dread?
Do you have a plan for the apocalypse? Can you grow tomatoes? If you cloned yourself, would you fuck yourself? Hard?

BeesNeedKnees
My mom gave me tips to suck in my stomach and commented on me being shirtless at home. Realized it’s her voice in my head saying I look bad
My dad bought me compression shirts and constantly pointed out my man nipples... I compulsively wear undershirts.
Everytime I'd try on clothing my mom would say it looked bad. Probably bc we couldn't afford it. It really fucked me up inside.
SBartlett
As someone who is 28 , and needs someone to take me out of my shell. You're the best to keep around
I do too. It was a really weird comment for them to make because I hardly ever talk, they never let me. When I do talk they talk over me.
Ye as said by other people, they love the sound of their own voices , so just trying shut you down for nothing
They're projecting their bad behavior onto you. Sounds toxic.
demonic
My mom had a habit of doing this till i started talking louder over her.
ElioNope
Well see, when you talk they either have to listen or have to interrupt. But THEY want to talk. This means they will interrupt you. This-
-means they're "being forced" to be rude. If you talk less, they'll interrupt less. If they're not interrupting, they're under no pressure-
-to feel bad for talking over someone. Their "solution" is therefore to tell you to talk less so they can feel better. It's toxic.
Then they’re just saying mean things to entertain themselves and it’s got nothing to do with who you really are. <3
SmoeAhsolse
Sounds like "you talk to much" means "you talk ever", because they want to be talking.

I have Autism (Asperger's). All the time it's "Shut up" "You're too loud" "You're talking out of a corner" etc. etc. etc.
ElyaEquestus
Probably because your parents are also as autistic as a doorframe and never learned to cope with it. You trigger their problems and blame 1/
I don't think my dad is actually Autistic.
There is a generic component. And he may not be the same "type" as you. Spectrum disorder, and all that.
He always had the full range of social skills, theory of mind, etc. etc. He's just an asshole, not autistic.
3/ I do know that I had quite a lot of misconceptions regarding my own diagnose which hamstrung me more than I care to admit.
2/ you for the problems that they have. If anything, I have the same issues at home. It helps to go to a therapist and talk about autism.

"I wish you had been adopted by a different family." -my mom. Some people just shouldn't be parents because they can't be freaking adults.
Truth has been spoken. There should be a license to parent.
That's the weird part. Do you know how hard it is to adopt a healthy infant in the States? Home studies, caseworkers, psych evals... it's 1/
more stringent than a Commercial Driver's license. We license bad drivers. Not always, not often, but, we do. If you can't be an Adult 2/
don't become a Parent. If parenthood happened suddenly? Better grow the fuck up quickly. The difference is that we make it easy for 3/

My step mom informed us that the only problem in her life was that her husband had kids from a previous marriage.
Actually finding out my dad wasn't my dad and her hatred of my "spermdonor" explained why my brother was treated better. She never said why.
RealRaceRiotsAreAboutGettingBlueshelledInMarioKart
Mine was the opposite, she pinned my brother on my dad. She always loved his dad, but he was married. I was a hate fuck 3 yrs later.
You both had really shitty, horrible parents, I'm so sorry that was the case. Thank dog we grow up and can leave them!
You really mean thank dog?
Yep!
My parents paid my neighbor to hire my brother when he drunkenly flunked out of college. I was locked in closets. Guess who's the favorite..

I don’t need any sympathy messages, guys. I’m cool with it and just find what he says funny now
How are your relations with your brother, anyway?

Most toxic thing I was told: “You’d better marry a woman who can take care of you because you’ll never be able to take care of yourself.”
nevertrustawetfart
That actually says a lot about how much your parents want you to find a good woman. They had the spirit, fucked up the delivery. Lol
They don't want you to be independent. It's common. When I divorced it was expected I'd move home, leave my job etc. Hahaha
Oh and also, “You’ll never get married because nobody could love someone like you.”
Isn't that the normal expectation for me, though?
Same, except I’m a woman and my dad still tells me to find a rich man to marry me so he doesn’t have to worry about me anymore
toejammin
This 100% hits home for me. If it wasn't for my wife, I'd spend all my money on jet skis and bouncy houses
I’d be fine, but definitely not as fulfilled. Plus the kids are nice.
Got to love a parent who doesn't teach you how to take care of yourself and instead bullies you about it... Been there.

My mom could never let me weigh less than her. I am 23 and married w kids and finally able to lose weight and be healthy bc she isn't around
And she told my husband not to hold his breath when I told him I was going to work out a little. And she always told me I'd never be skinny
She also doesn't know who my father I'd so that tells you what type of woman she is/was. I have currently lost 50 lbs and down 3 sizes
She so always blamed me for her leaving the navy but she got kicked out for doing bad stuff with a higher up supposedly
wow, seriously congrats!! thats some serious dedication after all that bullshit.
Thank you. I have two girls, I can't even imagine being like that towards them when they get older. I plan on losing another 70-80lbs.
Fighting those memories in your head is the hardest thing. It's awesome that your making progress ^_^
When I was a young teen my mom warned me against young pregnancy by saying "once you have kids your life is over." ... to her kid...
True there's some truth to it-the additional context is she told us this frequently when things weren't going how she wanted
But as a mother myself I would NEVER say this to my daughter.
It’s kind of true. Your own old life is over, but not in a bad way. You have other things to think about, less time for yourself,
other responsibilities etc. I’m happy I waited till I was ready and could experience a lot of me time before my child was born.
Brutal....... but honest.

My mum commented when I was about 8 I couldn't sing in tune and I've been scared to sing in public since

Me too!
Me too! I still can't sing worth a shit, but who gives a damn. Imma sing if I feel like singing, fuck people's opinions. Trust me, once 1/

/3 singing, humming, skipping cus you're happy, whatever, just say I'll consider your suggestion, then do whatever, MORE. BE YOU
The hard part is truly not caring what people think.. annoyingly I don't care, but my social anxiety does care.. lol I'm always conflicted.
Yes it's a battle. Sometimes I do end up caring, but usually someone butting into my life ticks me off, and my rebellious streak kicks in
QueefMalone
Go outside and sing right now.
I'm singing in my kitchen is that ok?
YES!
Yes. Sing loudly, unabashedly, and smile. It's your life, sing on stranger.

You’ll get a GF if you want one ?
I feel like she has to want it too. That's the tricky bit, lol
Things like that. But I think the one that always got me the most wasn't really something they said, but did. I talk, a lot. When I get

And 95% of the time, its met with eyerolls, sighs of annoyance or just being told to shut up.

My Dad said I could never be as valuable a person as him, not because of anything he did, but just because a child would always be lesser.
I’m like, damn, then oh, then like huh, ok. That was a ride.
Yeah. It was kind of a tough thing to type out in 140 characters but I did my best. He mellowed with age a bit but he's still an asshole.
Sounds like some insecure normie bullshit. At least you know how to open your emails, eh?
How to reveal you're an insecure man-child in the least amount of words.

My dad thinks this way. He assumes that because he's older, he knows more about all things than I do.
LunaticLegostone
I know many old people like this. I always picture someone bringing a typewriter to the IT conference.
Mine said that, too!
Damn! And I thought my grandfather was an asshole for telling me children should be seen, not heard. About the only thing he ever said to me
Ur dads have low self esteem and I could bully them into eating my pussy
Nah, dad was too gay to seek out any other women.
Those two dads downvoted my comment for being vulgar

As a person in education: there's a shit ton parents can do wrong. I could make an entire series of post about that subject. Some shit...
NothingButGravy
I'm also an educator. One of things parents can say to their kid that will fuck them up is just telling them they're bad when they're 1/2
just misbehaving. Got a kid in my class whose dad convinced him he's a bad kid, now he's internalized it and acts that way all the time. 2/2
I used to want to be in education, but realized I'm more terrified of the parents than the kids...
In the beginning I was too, but when you grow older, get more experience, get more knowledge via CPD, & especially in social fields....
..people tend to be more laid back, thus you get more selfconscious & relaxed.
I used to want to be a child psychologist, then I realized really I'd be battling parents who want to blame the kid for them fucking it up.
..I experiences myself, some shit I witnessed at work & in my spare time.
Please do that.
I would be interested in reading a post about that
Wennnnnn
so would i

Hopefully the name calling started before you knew the meaning of the word. If you knew what it meant, I'm sorry you had to go though that.

True, but seems like a conversation that shouldn't be had in front of a child. Best in private. Seems super emotionally traumatic to hear.

GreatOdinsTaint
Which is factually incorrect. Predators usually choose victims based on perceived vulnerability, not looks.
BladeTurMoiL
I mean i can probably agree with the idea that someone isnt gonna pick someone who looks like they can kick their ass. But this idea seems..
BladeTurMoiL
to generalize way too much. Maybe that’s the final factor. i doubt some1 uggo but vulnerable is gonna illicit action from the typical rapist
stoicgoof
Especially if the predator sees the parent disregard the child's needs, fears, and complaints. Predators typically know their victim.
pazooPositivityPlayer
Makes sense considering my personal experience
ThomasThundersword
this comment is one of the few times “i hope you got molested as a child” is like one of the better options.

That's a really rare situation and Holy fuck your comment would go really well in r/evenwithcontext

dingofdong
There are several interpretations here, and I really hope the correct one doesn't involve a need to call the police. I hope you're doing ok
Axianamos
Speaking personally I was molested by 3 different dudes. It happened. Its part of my past. I try not to let it define me today.
pazooPositivityPlayer
Unfortunately I was a vulnerable but I'm doing well considering my childhood

That was my second least favourite interpretation, but I'm glad to hear you're doing well in spite of it

I'm sure they'll be ok if you let them know about some vulnerable people. /s

do you really believe that? there could be multiple factors and both could be part of the many
Mempress
There's nothing to believe, that's the outcome of interviews made with perps. It's also logical
M4Firefly
what I meant was - do you believe that there is only ONE variable in determining all human behavior rgd assault? or is it mutifactorial
M4Firefly
theres more than one variable even in the way people (or ciminals) buy/steal cars, other than availability/vulnerability
Mempress
From all ur comments ur clearly a poorly disguised troll. If not, a Google search and Reddit is t remedy u need. Which u shld already know
Mempress
If u r into research as u claim to be, u shld know better than go 2 Imgur 4 discussion, or frame poor parental beh as a joke. Begone troll
M4Firefly
I think you are confusing "perspectives you disagree with" as trolling. thats ok common nowadays it doesnt bother me
M4Firefly
god forbid someone has a legitimate opinion rgd what - multiple factors affecting behavior? lots more research on that. you can google them
M4Firefly
Interviews are some of the lowest reliability data you can get. Scientifically speaking. And that's not particularly logical tbh. shrug
hymenochirus
Your right - we should ignore research in favour of some fucking idiot on imgur dot com.

TONS of research on how countless factors affect human behavior and crime. Read the research instead of "honest reports" from criminals.

She was abusive in every way, including sexual abuse. Not the molesting type but more of the "your my child and I will do whatever I want

I can do that. But I still exist I hope that doesn't bother you
Mempress
A parent calling their own child a derogatory term is ever ok? Even if ur kid is in fact a prostitute, would you not love n care for them?
ProblematicYeeting
No truth. I was a modest child, and lost my virginity at 19 with said semi-serious relationship. But she wouldn't have known that. Horribly
ProblematicYeeting
Abusive in every category. She had no provocation to the statement. It came out of the blue
M4Firefly
Fair enough. I try to give old ppl benefit of the doubt because thats likely their honest belief rgd virginity in their times
ProblematicYeeting
Yea that would be a default, but her history is not normal. She accused me of sexting boys at a young age when in reality she was doing it
SouperScott
Their age means nothing, being shit is still being shit. And the only thing stopping them from changing is themselves.

Jesus Jumped Up Christ on a trampoline that is HORRIBLE. My mom said something similar to me when I was that age. Still feel it 30 yrs later

The worst part about that was also I had lost my virginity at 19 and that seems like a reasonable and responsible time in my opinion, not

They're projecting their bad behavior onto you. Sounds toxic.

My mom had a habit of doing this till i started talking louder over her.
ElioNope
Well see, when you talk they either have to listen or have to interrupt. But THEY want to talk. This means they will interrupt you. This-
ElioNope
-means they're "being forced" to be rude. If you talk less, they'll interrupt less. If they're not interrupting, they're under no pressure-
ElioNope
-to feel bad for talking over someone. Their "solution" is therefore to tell you to talk less so they can feel better. It's toxic.

My mom could never let me weigh less than her. I am 23 and married w kids and finally able to lose weight and be healthy bc she isn't around
creechville
And she told my husband not to hold his breath when I told him I was going to work out a little. And she always told me I'd never be skinny
creechville
She also doesn't know who my father I'd so that tells you what type of woman she is/was. I have currently lost 50 lbs and down 3 sizes
creechville
She so always blamed me for her leaving the navy but she got kicked out for doing bad stuff with a higher up supposedly
hellifiknowwhatsgoingon
wow, seriously congrats!! thats some serious dedication after all that bullshit.
creechville
Thank you. I have two girls, I can't even imagine being like that towards them when they get older. I plan on losing another 70-80lbs.

Fighting those memories in your head is the hardest thing. It's awesome that your making progress ^_^

When I was a young teen my mom warned me against young pregnancy by saying "once you have kids your life is over." ... to her kid...
peanutboogertime
True there's some truth to it-the additional context is she told us this frequently when things weren't going how she wanted
peanutboogertime
But as a mother myself I would NEVER say this to my daughter.
Boldeyes
It’s kind of true. Your own old life is over, but not in a bad way. You have other things to think about, less time for yourself,
Boldeyes
other responsibilities etc. I’m happy I waited till I was ready and could experience a lot of me time before my child was born.

Brutal....... but honest.

My mum commented when I was about 8 I couldn't sing in tune and I've been scared to sing in public since
haadyy
Me too!
Dragonfury5
Me too! I still can't sing worth a shit, but who gives a damn. Imma sing if I feel like singing, fuck people's opinions. Trust me, once 1/

/2 you stop caring about what other people think, life improves. If you do get some twat who thinks they can comment on your clothes/2/

/3 singing, humming, skipping cus you're happy, whatever, just say I'll consider your suggestion, then do whatever, MORE. BE YOU
eventide215
The hard part is truly not caring what people think.. annoyingly I don't care, but my social anxiety does care.. lol I'm always conflicted.
Dragonfury5
Yes it's a battle. Sometimes I do end up caring, but usually someone butting into my life ticks me off, and my rebellious streak kicks in
QueefMalone
Go outside and sing right now.
natachan
I'm singing in my kitchen is that ok?
Dragonfury5
YES!
QueefMalone
Yes. Sing loudly, unabashedly, and smile. It's your life, sing on stranger.

"Grow some balls!", "Only sissies cry!" and "Man up!" Now we have generations of messed up men, high suicide rates, right wing nut jobs 1/2

PTSD sufferers, depression, and a host of other problems in society. A toxic attitude perpetuated by men, supported by women, for too long.

Woman here "don't cry or ill give you something to cry about" was said by every female member of my family. My grandfather empathized
Sponger004
Are we related? Lol my dad does the same stuff. He also told my brother and I he wishes we were not born so he could have enjoyed his life.
Someshithead241
For me it was never big things. Just lots of little things, especially about appearance. Like jokes about weight or how my overbite makes me
Someshithead241
Look or the way I walk/stand. Stuff like that. Lots of comments on how I'll never get a girlfriend, which I already know. Lots of little
B0redEngineer
You’ll get a GF if you want one ?
Someshithead241
I feel like she has to want it too. That's the tricky bit, lol
Someshithead241
Things like that. But I think the one that always got me the most wasn't really something they said, but did. I talk, a lot. When I get
Someshithead241
Excited about something or really like it, I tend to just randomly blurt out what I'm thinking or something like that. Basic Adhd shit.
Someshithead241
And 95% of the time, its met with eyerolls, sighs of annoyance or just being told to shut up.
mrose50
My Dad said I could never be as valuable a person as him, not because of anything he did, but just because a child would always be lesser.
nevertrustawetfart
I’m like, damn, then oh, then like huh, ok. That was a ride.
mrose50
Yeah. It was kind of a tough thing to type out in 140 characters but I did my best. He mellowed with age a bit but he's still an asshole.
Arracor
Sounds like some insecure normie bullshit. At least you know how to open your emails, eh?
Mempress
How to reveal you're an insecure man-child in the least amount of words.
PhailRaptor
My dad thinks this way. He assumes that because he's older, he knows more about all things than I do.
LunaticLegostone
I know many old people like this. I always picture someone bringing a typewriter to the IT conference.
ridureyu
Mine said that, too!
kittykat
Damn! And I thought my grandfather was an asshole for telling me children should be seen, not heard. About the only thing he ever said to me
ApearImaginationMaker
Ur dads have low self esteem and I could bully them into eating my pussy
ridureyu
Nah, dad was too gay to seek out any other women.
ApearImaginationMaker
Those two dads downvoted my comment for being vulgar

As a person in education: there's a shit ton parents can do wrong. I could make an entire series of post about that subject. Some shit...
NothingButGravy
I'm also an educator. One of things parents can say to their kid that will fuck them up is just telling them they're bad when they're 1/2
NothingButGravy
just misbehaving. Got a kid in my class whose dad convinced him he's a bad kid, now he's internalized it and acts that way all the time. 2/2
eventide215
I used to want to be in education, but realized I'm more terrified of the parents than the kids...
FailedCrate
In the beginning I was too, but when you grow older, get more experience, get more knowledge via CPD, & especially in social fields....
FailedCrate
..people tend to be more laid back, thus you get more selfconscious & relaxed.
Mempress
I used to want to be a child psychologist, then I realized really I'd be battling parents who want to blame the kid for them fucking it up.
FailedCrate
..I experiences myself, some shit I witnessed at work & in my spare time.
Boldeyes
Please do that.
Dragonfury5
I would be interested in reading a post about that
Wennnnnn
so would i
StCuntyMcFuckoff
I, too, would like to read this, if only as a what-not-to-do guide
