Whoever fucking narrated today needs to be fired immediately. They are condoning mental/emotional child abuse in the first story, if any sane person were in that situation, including me, the best option would just be to end it all right there. The youngest kid was only FUCKING NINE, that’s not old enough to understand what the fuck was going on!? I’m surprised that of the kids in the story didn’t end up developing some kind of insanity disorder from that shit. Whoever narrated today, you’re a sick person, I hope you get fired, and if you ever do this with your own children/future children, I’m making it my *goal* to get you arrested.

I remember this story from 4 years ago and I hated it that first story full of child abuse

[@bombdotcom2168]

I'm all for teaching your kids respect, but the older sister should have been the only one punished for her attitude because the kids younger than her likely didn't know any better and were following the older sibling's example. Plus- Maybe I'm crazy- but I'm pretty sure taking/selling and destroying a child's property is just going to make them not trust you and cause problems. I understand this is a punishment, and punishments aren't supposed to be good and are supposed to teach a lesson, but there are so many things you can do before literally taking away everything your child owns and treating them like prisoners. Especially with the dehumanization of making them pee in a bucket and making them wear gray pajamas AT SCHOOL. The worst part is probably them begging to be able to go back to a normal schedule. That's not normal parenting, those parents conditioned their children into being submissive by literally depriving them of normal care. Then on top of that the way they gave their stuff back is so fucked up. The fact that she just dumped their things on the ground then made them clean it all up under the threat of throwing it away just reminds me of what my mom would do and hearing that part just really REALLY got to me. That's legitimate abuse and you cannot tell me otherwise. I wouldn't blame any of the kids for holding this against the mom because it's really messed up. Like- I grew up in a household with a mom who not only took my stuff, but constantly treated me like property if not like a prisoner (bag checks, restricted meals, etc) and it left a huge impact on me. My experience lasted longer than a month, but I bet even though this was only a month it still left an impact on the kids. What those parents did was dehumanizing them even though only one kid spoke up against the parent in this situation. Hearing the OP defending her makes me angry. That's not normal parenting regardless of how many people are in the household. Even my grandmother (neglectful and emotionally manipulative mother of 8) didn't treat her kids that way!!

[@itz_ic21gaming97]

I agree with you completely. The fact is yeah the oldest one should be punished but the why the rest of kids. And i understand that the mother did this to teach them a lesson but she definitely had took a way too far. Also i grow up in the Bulgaria where my family used to beat me up for stupidest things imagininable i got beaten up twice for writing with my left hand in 2007. It was so bad that my teacher intervened her. Also i got grounded and beaten for things that my brother did. My brother had never been beaten but one day my brother was being so arrogant telling me how smarter he is how better in studies than me for the context i help him out so many times in studies then I had enough of him and I beat him up to teach him a lesson then my dad slapped me in the face and he told me that next time he'll do much worse than a slap in the face and everything went south. I know that i shouldn't have punched my brother but i had retaliated my brother's grades plummeted so badly that my dad started begging me to help then I yell how much of a jerks him and my brother is and i finally call him out about the all abuse that i had to endure. But that's Bulgaria he screamed at me back and still i have a hard time talking to both of them and I am still afraid of his screaming even though I am in my 20s. So Balkan families sucks to say at least.

[@Apatchi22]

[@bombdotcom2168]

@itz_ic21gaming97 I had a similar childhood but with less violence- most of my abuse was psychological with some physical violence sprinkled in. Especially with the left handed punishments and having a brother who was cruel but never saw punishment for it. It sucks having to grow up that way- I really hope you're doing alright now

That first story is disgusting and the narrator is completely wrong for saying those kids weren’t hurt. The amount of mental trauma put on kids IN SINGLE DIGITS of age is not right or justified in any way. The mental and emotional abuse put on those kids is just wrong.

[@Shellbe26]

Your kids are little shots for years and when you crack down in a... actually reasonable way by taking away the distractions and fun, and she gets sent to prison? This is why kids are so unprepared for their own future, can't take care of themselves, and entitled. This is coming from someone who had almost no rules growing up (or constantly broke them and the worst thing that happened was my mom unhooked the cable from the TV and I just put it back until just before she came home). She did nothing wrong, and clearly they know she loves and cares about them by the way the op writes. If he hated her it would be more obvious and there would be no toys etc, etc.

[@synthwolfe8906]

the law states that children must have a roof, food, a bed, etc. i don't recall reading that they were required to have toys, games, books, etc. i do disagree with the punishment, but that doesn't make it illegal. what specifically makes you think she'd end up in prison? mind you, i had similar when i got caught stealing. i lost EVERYTHING except a handful of books that my mom approved of. no games, no tv, no movies, no internet, no cards, no outside time, as we lived in an apartment so i didn't have a fenced in yard. if i wanted fresh air? I had to open the window. but unlike OP, I was mostly an only child (we had my half sister every other weekend). also unlike OP, my punishment lasted 6 months.

Story 1: Discipline is one thing, but this is sadism and abuse. She should have had her kids taken away and actually gone to prison. Also, the narrator is for child abuse, what the hell!? Story 2: It serves that greedy pig of a former boss right. He’s lucky he didn’t end up in cement. Story 3: Disgusting. I hate gossipers and blabber-mouths. Brilliant move on OP’s and Jane’s part. Story 4: Karen deserves to end up unable to take any of her food except in liquid/tube forms for the rest of her life.

The mother and father in the first story traumatized their children and the narrator is wrong trauma is a form of hurting someone.

[@jerm70]

Some trauma is necessary for life. When is the last time you burnt your hand? When is the last time you pet a stray animal? When is the last time you smarted off to the quiet kid at school?

[@RavensGem]

Story 1 how did none of them run away if that would happen I would book it. I would be gone, maybe bring my siblings. No way I'm taking that. Maybe its a bit extreme but you can't fight something extreme without something extreme your self. I think I could survive the woods or a homeless shelter for a couple days then go to the police. When I got back hopefully my parents will realize there gone if not school is an easy escape, and easy food and housing on week days.

[@josegabriellebron161]

No one called CPS? I would have done it in a heartbeat.

[@Aspect360-01]

That mom is a psychopath

[@itzepicgamer4015]

There are so many boomers here ranting about how the kids deserve being emotionally traumatized. It is said in the video “All things that were enjoyable to a child were taken”. How do you justify treating kids like they're prisoners and taking their entertainment away just because the elder kids did not care about a threat? You people were all probably manipulated by your own parents, maybe that's why you justify the mom's overreaction? Imagine being so much brainwashed that you start to justify the craziness of some narcissists who want nothing but power.

[@jerm70]

You are just an idiot that doesn't know how to raise a child. You are letting your own personal weakness cloud your judgment. Childhood isn't about enjoyment and fun. There is plenty of that but it's not about that. It's about learning how to be a functional adult. A part of that is to learn to appreciate what you have and what you have been given. To teach a kid how to not take something for granted you have to take away something from them. The kids were taught to disrespect their mothers and thus needed to unlearn this lesson. You will whine and complain and then cry if any children you may have turns around and calls you the F-Slur Hippy.

[@thelithuanianassassin6540]

Story 1: the mother is seriously weong in the head and i am really disappointed that there was no action taken against her. And to all of you that will hate me for my opinion because you think soft parenting is the wrong way to go, let me tell me story and see what ypu think then. I am currently in my 20s and i had strict parents. I currently work with them and I do see why they brought me up as they did but in my mind it was not the right way to go. My dad especially liked to raise his voice at me at times if i did something bad which caused me to be afraidto even talk to him (I sense already talked with him about this and what it did to me andhe completely understood). I also got depression after i had a break up and my parents were no help, they would start telling about their past and even threatened to take me to an asylum if i didn’t stop with my depression. Another this is that they would blame my grandmother for everything that was wrong with me (because she unlike my parents would not raise her voice at me when i did something bad and would instead tell me what i did was bad in a calm voice) Anyway most of you probably just wanna know what strict parenting caused me? Well heres what Depression and Emotional issues.

[@jeanmaillard6001]

[@spectorcsm]

One of the few times I wholeheartedly disagree with this narrator, the first story sounded absolutely horrifying. Those kids would probably never look at their parents the same way again, I know if that happened to me I'd get out of there as soon as I could and try to bring the siblings with me because who knows if those parents would ever do something like that- or worse- again In my opinion, as a parent your approach to that situation should NEVER be to show the kids what they actually have to fear, it'll just remove any trust they ever had in you and even if they weren't physically hurt, I'm sure they'll never forget the mental trauma that might have been caused by their own parents.

[@jerm70]

Hard disagree. Children need to be taught in a safe environment humility and how you shouldn't take things for granted. The parents did absolutely nothing wrong here.

[@shiina9176]

As a Asian guy, i can tell it's especially common and sounds like something what a mom would do in situations like this and to me it works most of the time. The kids here aren't that spoiled like the other entitled stories we heard so far, but they're gonna need it when they live in too much comfort.

It's still a child abuse there no excuse to defend the monsters hell them kids got mental issues because of that discuss

[@lunamorningstar5488]

As an asian gal who study psychology, the first story terrified me, like damn i know some punishment is need, but they were impressionable kids, they can be talked to and taught first, the olders can be grounded and have a minor punishment like grounding for a week, but this is way too extreme, you’ll traumatized them, and trauma mess with your head for a very long time, and could be why OP still remember the story vividly.

[@Shellbe26]

It's literally not. Oh no they were punished and had their toys taken away but were given 3 square meals a day, still sent them to school (where they could still socialize) were allowed personal time outside in the yard and after a week, allowed out farther for good behaviour. Outside of the frisking and the no bathroom at night, this is just ordinary punishment but made to sound harsher because it's being equated to prison.

If I were in a kid in that home growing up in the 90's, I would no doubt had destroyed everything she owned and most likely had gotten them both fired before calling the police to report child abuse. I also would failed school on purpose. I don't really care if they had punished me seeing as I already had nothing to lose anyway (I was a very disturbed little kid and still am in a lot of ways - blame my dad) So, I honestly would have made their lives a living Hell, they already had to me, why not return the favor? Honestly these parents took things way too far in their statics.

[@v.crowley]

You wouldn’t have called child services 😂😂in the 90s.. this was normal and the threats of getting an ass whopping made sure CPS would have a reason to come take the “hell child away” “It’s not abuse if there’s no mark” was my parents favorites saying… because we knew nothing would be done back then

[@XItaSasux4ever12]

@v.crowley Someone is making a lot of assumptions and a lot of false information. It is child abuse to force a child into that kind of situation Lirerally turning your house into a prison. Also, you have no idea what my situation was as a kid or the kind of kid I was in general so no. Not even a whooping would have stopped me back then. If anything, the whooping would have made the whole situation FAR WORST for the parents.
