My mom used to threaten a woman named Zelda was going to come babysit if we acted up and she was mean.

Just fucking clean up after your kids. Holy shit. Kids are messy, they learn to be clean, you don’t need to fuck them up because your lazy.
umbreMoonShaper
this is how to break your children mentally, get ready to send them to therapy afterwards

This is how cat suit snd vacuum sealing fetishes are born

I still don't know what the red circle is for

It's not. That's a hula hoop the child is using for protection.
ruferto
pretty sure that's a dude

I’m pretty sure that’s a guy in that suit.
GrzegorzSkoczylas
Shit like that should be treated as severe child abuse. Using fear to bring up your kids shows how bad you failed as a parent.
FisheswithDynamite
You wake up to vacuuming. Slowly you walk to the living room. There she is, the leopardwoman... because your mother has your wife's number.

My mom bought a few rubber Halloween masks when my bro and I were young. My little bro saw my mom put on the mask, one was a zombie, the
other was a mutilated chicken with its beak stretched open with another chicken in the mouth. My bro freaked out and gave him nightmares

IamJacksComment
The Inuit are known as some of the gentlest parenting cultures in the world and they use fibs all the time to keep their kids in line. I.e.
"The Aurora Borealis will take you away if you take off your hat in winter" to keep kids from freezing outside.
Fishkeeper
Yeah, but that's to keep them from DYING, and most kids don't properly understand that sort of thing anyway. This is more the equivalent of
showing up in a scary mask to terrify your children until they pick up their socks. No good.

Lol! I’m humored how adults act like scaring young kids will either toughen them up or scar them for life. All in moderation, I guess.

It makes sense that they have an aversion to things that remind them of that. Someone saying they get techy about vacuums and just say3/4
That's what we call a trigger. An actual, medical trigger, not half the Internet ruining the word by using it to mock angry people.
Yeah I know, I actually use it in AA/NA meetings and groups to illustrate that triggers don't have to be 4th of July fireworks. It helps1/2
Some folk who arent quite as experienced in recovery to realize that yeah that thing that sounds stupid silly to say outloud is important2/2
SerenePrincess013
Psychological triggers are some of the hardest scars to heal, bc the wounds go too deep.
I feel like amputated limbs are also pretty hard to fix, if you don't fix 'em right off.
You can get a prosthetic to wear for amputated limbs. Where's the prosthetic for the scars you wear from childhood abuse?
Coping mechanisms.
(I don't mean to imply that psychological trauma isn't terrible. And it being invisible doesn't help it get taken seriously.)
Running vacuum because you complained about the noise while little it seems silly. Then you see shit like this.2/2

Fucking hell. Some people really never ever ever ever should have been parents. So sorry this happaned to you OP.
Arracor
*Most. Most people shouldn't be parents.
SenselessSentiments
Hey dude. You might find this info useful: an Electrostatic Paper Mop does the same job as a vacuum but doesn't use electricity/make noise.
I learned the lesson of not teasing people for silly fears the hard way. Had a friend who was scared of fireworks and I teased her for it...
Moriarte
And that's why teasing should be abolished. No one likes being teased yet many people INSIST it's a sign someone likes you. I call bullshit.
FukcTedCruz
Dude... it depends on the situation, i used to tease girls I liked as a kid. It doesn't mean id tease someone disabled or something
The point is, you don't know that until you tease them first. Then you find out they're disabled or very sensitive about your teasing.
...and later found out that fireworks blew off her sister's hand and melted half her face when she was little and she saw the whole thing
haadyy
Poor girl. Both of them. I too dislike fireworks. Each NYE I hide in the bathroom with the dog.

You were too young to turn it off or?
If someone says they will beat your ass for turning it off, and they've done it before, would you?
I was asking a question...how would I know someone threatened to beat his ass...I thought he was stuck with it like couldn't get out
I was answering the question, you asked me, lol my sarcastic side doesn't translate well.
