Entitled Parents Getting EXPOSED On Social Media - REACTION

[@jenniferwurst5076]

The kid who’s dog was given away cause he didn’t do his homework is going to hate his parents for the rest of his life and there’s nothing they can do about it. They’re done.

Totally agree! I grew up in a 'children should be seen and not heard' house - which just resulted in me never having a voice or feeling supported - this has had many effects on my adult life, but somehow I have gained confidence and self worth by being around lots of positive, amazing people over the last 20 years (yep, it's really taken this long!) So now my own daughter will always have my time, I listen and let her speak - sometimes it's big things, sometimes it's little things - and there's always those little gems of innocence that warms your heart that you would have missed if you hadn't just let her chat away! - this is one of my favourite bits about being being a mom 😊❤️

I’m their mom and their friend. It’s possible to be both to our kids. Our kids should never feel like they have to lie to us about anything. It does not help them feel confident and critical think better, when we get angry instead of helping them work through shit or make better choices next time around. I hope how I said that makes sense.

Meanwhile, my other dog got a funeral and cremation, and advance notice of the euthanasia appointment. Before that, our cat got re homed out of nowhere with no verification thats actually what happened, and when it was my turn to take care of the classroom pets at school, they died right after I brought them back.

We had called animal control afew times for various reasons (him being locked outside with no shelter in below freezing temperatures, no food or water for days) so when the mom called animal control and explained the whole situation, they called us and asked if we would be interested in adopting him. We had to take him to the shelter for 7 or 10 days, because of protocol. He was so sad when we dropped him off, because he had been dumped at that same shelter afew times before, but the look on his face when we showed first thing in the morning after that 7-10 day period, was so fucking magical! (Pardon my language). He is my son's best buddy, hes protective but not territorial of him. He sticks next to my sons side all the time, he knows what time my son gets out of school and waits at the door for him. We had some kinks to work out when we first got him, due to his treatment before, but he is honestly the best dog we've ever had. Hes still scared of bathrooms though, almost 3.5 years later, not sure what happened with a bathroom, but it's stuck with him. This went on much longer than I expected lol I'm sorry, I just get very passionate about the subject lol I couldn't imagine taking a dog to the shelter, then going back to the same shelter to get a different dog and seeing the first dog and not taking him back, that's absolutely disgusting to me!

My mom wasn't a narcissist, but the long marriage with my father made her a entitled woman (they married when she was young and he would always give her everything she wanted plus agreed with whatever she said) and she was wild and made my life a living hell. After divorce I decided to live with her, we would often scream at each other (I was trully my mom's daughter and our personalities were the same) but I finally gave her a big "nope" and was out of the house the moment she touched me (punched me in the face). Thank God I found better people to fill her hole and was able to raise myself as a better person. Five years later we both changed, she has a new kid and is raising him so much better than she did with me, and I know that what she did still hunts her, but I just feel sorry for her. Being a better person (her and I) doesn't make me love her again, I can't even bring myself to care about her. I still try and send her a few massages, try to see her on holidays, but it's not genuine. I can't even imagine what would be of this situation if she hadn't change at all, but I could bet it would involve a lot of me blocking her and telling her to die on mother's day, because if there's one thing that I learned from her old self is that why should you be petty, when you can be a freacking AH and crush your enemies? Thanks old mom, the new one is loving, but the older one makes for interestings talks at the therapy (only one time for week because I don't have money for the second one).

I left his house at 17 and never looked back and he was so pissed at me. Instead of apologizing and being sympathetic and siding with his own kid when she was in the wrong he defended her and her toxic ways. It was truly sad.

[@thecoolgrandma7208]

Also by apologizing it teaches your child that if you are wrong this is how you first need to try to repair your mistake. A good life lesson that will go far. By explaining things, they learn. Just saying I told you so doesn't teach them to not repeat a mistake or the correct way of doing something. All it does it teach them that they need to wait until told to do something and wait for detailed step by step instructions. And if you forget a step trust, it won't be done right because they didn't learn why they were doing it. They'll just do exactly, what you said. Then you'll get mad at them but it is actually your fault because you trained them to be this way.

Thinks that I am wrong and only saying/doing it because I am mad to call me out on it once we both have calmed down. It has taught her to talk through her feelings as well as taught me too. Anytime she comes to me and says "you said or did xyz and I don't think it was deserved" I will always look back and I always 100% apologize if I was in the wrong and if I wasn't in the wrong but I still hurt her feelings I apologize for how I handled it and then I explain to her in a better more positive way on what I meant. I also ask her everynight if there was anything I did that day to upset her or if she wanted to talk about anything else and she always communicates with me about her problems etc.

When my grandparents had 4 children, they wanted to upgrade the attic so that the 6 of them didn't have to sleep in one very tiny room together anymore - but again my great-grandparents didn't allow it (for no reason). One weekend they were away and a friend of my grandparents was like "F* it, let's do this" and together they upgraded the attic into a bedroom and two small bedrooms for the children. When my great-grandparents got back, they ignored my grandparents, my mom, aunt and uncles for 3 weeks. Then, some time later, my great-grandma got a stroke and my great-grandpa told my grandma "If she dies, it will be your fault".

So to put that into perspective we live in a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom house for 9 people and it’s quite small especially for 9 people. And I fully believe the only way my mother will stop having kids is when she goes through menopause and I seriously hope she’s one of the women that get it sooner that most. She ruined my idea of pregnancy and motherhood because she’s basically a failure at motherhood, she feeds and teaches the younger ones but typically unless she decides to cook dinner or randomly make something for us we are on our own for feeding ourselves and don’t get me wrong, the older ones are fully capable of feeding ourselves and I’m grateful for when she does make us stuff to eat, but she doesn’t think I’m the age I am until it’s relevant to her and doesn’t think I’m mentally aware in the way I actually am.

It was a huge learning curve and I didn't understand all the passive aggressive behavior that Hispanic and native people had against the whites. I also wondered where all the black people were?? The town I grew up in was all black and white and 80% of both communities live under the poverty line. Even though racism runs rampant so does unity that springs into action when it comes to the government. I grew up white in a black neighborhood that was right by the project's. It was such a culture shock when I worked at a native bar and I took some hazing but it took asking the uncomfortable questions that lead to a new understanding and a whole different respect along with even more distrust for the white washed government who prints lies in the history books.

Sad thing that the mom was not using the child support money to make sure her daughter had what she needed... unfortunately this is disturbingly more common than people care to think.

[@danacarter9147]

My thoughts, exactly. If the daughter turns to shoplifting (,which she most likely will), and has a police record, it'll be her mother's fault because she uses the child support money on indulging herself.😒

[@labaccident2010]

That is exactly what happened with me. Funnily enough, my parents agreed to one year child support even though i was eighteen, since i was living with my mom. The money was in checks made out to ME, and i was supposed to get it, and it was enough to pay rent each month in a $1000 a month apartment. But no, my mother made me pay 775 a month in rent when i made 800 per month and i still had to pay for everything i mysef needed like food and feminine protection items. We had a written agreement that was notarized and everything that i woukd pay at most 500. Eventually i got fed up of starving and not having pads and tampons, so i demanded she goby the legally binding agreement. She took my keys, gave me enough time to pack a suitcase and locked me out. I was on the lease as a paying tenant. My dad was in china for two months on an extended business trip. My boyfriend at the time was awesome enough to come get me and i lived with him until my dad came back. Lesson of the day: it was shitty. I was supposed to have money and be able to go to school but i was forced to wrk full time with bad pay and starved and was not allowed to learn to drive, by the way, and ended up illegally evicted, almost homeless, and I didn’t know i could uave taken legal action until it was too late. My dad had been told she’d given me the checks, he realized she was lying when i told him the actual situation. He showed me the record of the checks, because apparently i was supposed to know about the stuff too, and she’d told him i knew. I didn’t talk to my mother for three years until she got professional help, and even still, we have issues. She’s better now but not 100%, but definitely not like she was.

I found there is some truth to that. My mom always answered that way and by the time I was about 6, I began to think that she wasn't very smart.

My mom had her moments as well. When I was a freshman in college, I went to a local University and lived at home. I worked from 8-4 Monday through Friday, went to school from 6-10 at night and had a Saturday class. Also, I lived about an hour away from campus. One Friday night I got home from school and made myself a plate of leftovers while I wrote a paper. I didn’t have class till 10 the next day and was excited to sleep in past 5 am. Well, that didn’t happen. My mom came into my room at 5 am, screaming at me to get up and fix the mess I had made in the kitchen. The “mess” was that I had not washed my plate with soap and water prior to placing it in the dishwasher. I had only rinsed it off. There was no chunky food on it, or anything. There was a visible, cloudy looking smear on it, so you could tell it had been used.

[@IsleNaK]

Makes you wonder what you need a dishwasher for if you basically have to wash your plates before putting them into the dishwasher...

[@13Wolfie13]

@@IsleNaK I totally wondered the same thing.

[@doodlebob3797]

It's to sanitize the dishes, so it should be called the dish-sanitizer instead of dishwasher.

[@13Wolfie13]

@@doodlebob3797 I suggest you do a quick Google search about how a dishwasher works. It uses jets of water along with soap to wash the dishes prior to using the optional high heat air setting to sanitize. Some manufacturers actually recommend one not pre-rinse at all for optimal performance.

[@doodlebob3797]

@Your Pal Foot Foot I'm twelve, I just repeated what my parents told me. Why would I look up how a dishwasher operates?

The mormon mom "if you read the book of mormon I'll let you decide" "I read the book" "I'm coming to your house to get you" This is also the day before her shift, so either way cancelling a shift that last minute is never good.

Proper Response to Overbearing Mormon Mother: "Oh, look at that, Mother! I just turned apostate! I'm an ex-Christian now! Wanna see me become a full-blown Theistic Satanist? Just keep pushing me!"

[@BloodyBay]

​@@ndawn90 Good thing I'm not a Mormon, then. Not that growing up Roman Catholic was much better; it leads to a Fire and Brimstone rant - delivered by multiple family members - that lasts for _years,_ occasionally interspersed with badgering to return to the Church and/or smug, overconfident "You're baptized, you'll return to Jesus eventually" assurances. 🙄 But if your entire family was horrible enough to disown you for even _jesting or suggesting_ that you might turn apostate, then they sound venomous as hell and I'd say that you didn't need them in your life anyway. Wasn't there another person in the video saying that they hadn't spoken to their own mother in over ten years because she was overbearingly oppressive? A justifiable reaction, I'd say.

[@batbratsdesigns]

I feel lucky my mom was an addict and not a controlling trashy mom. She worked hard to get clean. My Dad did too. My brother and I had to raise ourselves but I am glad our family didn't tell us we are horrible. They did their best. I was grateful for anything I got. We were very poor. I did raised my mom though. She even told everyone that before she passed away from cancer. I miss her so much. She helped me survive my illnesses too. If she didn't need assistance in the beginning, I wouldn't have had anything to do with my life except for getting in trouble. My brother has addiction too and he was a bad child. I am lucky it passed me by. I am autistic, I have health conditions to deal with so I don't need more. My family is doing well now. I brought my stepdad and stepmom into our lives too. I was four years ago when my dad took me to the fair and that's where we met my stepmom. They got married two years later. I met my stepdad at an AA picnic with my mom. I was doing face painting and my future stepdad wanted me to draw a clown face on his bold head. He was very nice so I introduced him to my mom. I wanted her to see my work. We laughed the whole time. They got married two years later. My mom and dad separated when I was three in a half years old. Mom married once before but he abused me and finally hit me in front of mom. She was very upset with him. She literally smacked him out the door and locked him out and took me and my brother to a five star hotel. We lived there until the divorce went through. It was an adventure. I am grateful to be alive. This video reminded me of how blessed I am today.

When I was in middle school, my dad kept my pet rat's cage outside and he died of pneumonia. He didnt like the smell and wouldn't pay to take him to the vet. Im 23 now, and I try not to make him feel bad about it. It just sucks that I still think it was my fault for not taking the little guy back to the pet store. I loved him and he was really the only part that made it worth coming home

[@Muryxkitteh]

Just my opinion, but I don't think it was your fault that you didn't take him to the pet store--I doubt they would have accepted your dad for resale.

[@tarynbarker2107]

He SHOULD feel bad!

[@jennfields1990]

My mother kicked me out at 15 and finally was able to make the "if you leave, you will leave with the clothes on your back," threat a reality. My dad had to buy me a bunch of clothes to go to school even though I had a job since I was 14 and bought my own clothes except for some my father and she bought me. My father was unable to purchase me a whole new wardrobe so he called the police to escort me to the house to get my belongings back. When we went home and I went through my stuff, a bunch of clothes I bought for myself wasn't there. When I contacted her about it, she told me she had destroyed and thrown them out because she didn't like them......this is awesome a woman who after kicking me out told me to give all of my old video games to my sister for free and when I didn't do it on her time, she took money out of my savings account....over Nintendo games that were mine in the first place and we're probably worth $5 at the time.....

[@MsKaz1000]

if she took money out of your account that is theft I hope you made sure she couldn't access your account after that

[@lilliank3542]

When I was a child, my father literally said to my face, "I'm never wrong." He never gave us any respect or privacy, and always expected us to drop everything to do whatever he wanted us to do.

[@unouni2548]

@Trisha Murray because these companies prey on people who are desperate enough to buy onto the idea that their personalities are the only thing needed to sell a product. They indoctrinate them and promise them a bright future by getting more people in. Kinda like a cult, now that I think about it. We should be doing something about it, but I'm not sure what.

[@Aced84]

So what's monistat doing now?

[@shatteredshards8549]

@Trisha Murray MLMs each have their own target demographics that they prey on and manipulate the insecurities of (for example, Vector/CutCo goes after college students, a number of them target military wives, etc). I agree that it's unbelievable that people still fall for it (Nigerian Prince scam much?), but your upline feeds you lies and tells you how to lie to your downline.

[@mamaonthemove]

Yes, it's a MLM. Also google "Can Monat make your hair fall out?" Don't use It!

Take pictures and talk to your daughter, see if she wants to fight to live with you full time. Kids can get a free casa/kid lawyer worker to pick who they want to live with. Good luck!

[@73cidalia]

Just watch out for manipulation on the other end. My husband's son was begging, in tears, to come live with him (he was living with his maternal grandparents), and after spending money on lawyers (and, yes, he had his own children's lawyer), after weeks and months of manipulation and guilt-tripping from grandma and mom (Yes, mom who lost custody and never again fought for it), he changed his mind. We had asked him before going to court if hr was absolutely sure, because as much as we'd love to have him, it would cost a lot of money and time, and his grandma would not be happy about it, and we had to make sure he wasn't going to change his mind because of her trying to make him feel bad (he was 12 and had told us about her behavior). The idiot children's lawyer said he felt that the boy was being pressured or manipulated from both sides. We NEVER pressured him, nor pestered him, nor guilt tripped him. It was all them. They were his home turf and had so many more opportunities to manipulate him. It cost us thousands that took time to pay off, while the grandparents, who were on welfare, got a lawyer for free through Legal Aid.
