Family skeletons in the closet EXPOSED on TikTok - REACTION

[@kimberlyheckler8453]

My daughter's deadbeat dad called me and told me he was going to get her the Teddy Ruxpin she so badly wanted for Christmas. I said, "Are you sure?" Because this bear was hard to get, and they were selling out of it everywhere. A week before Christmas and I had still not heard from him. I was calling and calling. Nothing. The night before Christmas Eve, he calls. "I'm so sorry!" He says. Blah, blah blah was all I heard. I hung up on him. We went out and scoured towns! Finally, after driving all of the way to Lubbock TX from Amarillo TX, we found it! Over the years, I had gotten used to putting his name on all of her birthday cards because I didn't want her to know what a rotten piece of crap he was. I gave her the bear in his name. Years later, she was looking through all of her memorabilia. She came in and said, "Mom, thank you." I said, "For what?" She said, "For making me think he was a good person all of those years." I asked her how she knew? She said, "I'd know your handwriting anywhere." ❤

When my daughter was about 4, she said “if I buy daddy a Christmas present do you think he’ll get me one?” Nothing has broke me like that did! I started buying her some gifts from him and mailed them to her (at our house). It was worth the look in her eyes. She’s 24 now and has no idea. I HATED him so much but I loved her more.

18:33 Child support = Given to the parent who is currently responsible for the child in the eyes of the law, that money that would be spent on your child if you were an active participant in their everyday life (i.e. food, hygiene products, clothes that are needed, helping to pay for the roof over their head, etc.) Christmas gifts = Specific items you yourself picked out to make your child feel special, loved, and happy. Even if they're just Spiderman or Barbie PJs.

[@joysgirl]

As a mother of two grown men, the son doesn't owe momma a dime. Last I checked, no one asked to be born. If she wants payback for raising him, that's a pretty low bar, it's required by law. As she said, she doesn't want a husssssband, no she doesn't, she wants is a sugar daddy. Narcissist is a perfect description.

[@Blablabla44475]

So true! My parents were like that too, and I thought, your “payback” for raising me is not spending time in jail for child neglect. That’s your prize. I find these older feminist women insufferable. No wonder they’re single at that age. If they don’t want a husband, they also don’t deserve what a husband has to offer.

Mom, well, I was never quite as good as their bio kids (even though I’m objectively better on every measure). Since she couldn’t rag on me about her labor, she’d talk about how much I cost them, including my glasses (nearsighted and asked for glasses so I could see the board at school and do my work) and braces (not vanity; had two literal rows of teeth). She even tried telling me, on my father’s literal deathbed, that he never wanted me, when he and I road-tripped and I know for a fact he wanted more kids.

[@nichellecarter4184]

​@TheSnakehunter the child support is literally what he would have been spending if they had stayed together. It's based off the quality of life the child could have had and does not reflect birthdays or holidays. It's literally for the care of your child (daycare, utilities, food, etc.) The judge decides child support based off how much the parents make. Not the mom. Mom can't be a gold digger if she's not even the one setting how much child support the dad is supposed to pay.

[@thayah]

​@@TheSnakehunterHey little clueless stranger let me explain some stuff to ya 1. Being a father doesn't stop at child support payments. A parent is required to also emotionally, morally and psychologically support their child (and money has nothing to do with this because there are some gestures and actions that can't be replaced by a check) 2. She wasn't asking for more money, she was asking for a gift from father to son. She insisted for him to pick out the gift and pay for it. It could've been a football for 5$ or something cheap but at least *from Dad*. It's so crucial for the child to feel dad's presence and attention even if they never see eachother cos at least he has something that reminds him of dad. 3. She's so agitated and loud about this, because imagine having your kid's eyes well up with tears on Christmas day or during the holidays because they didn't even hear from their dad let alone get a gift from him. That's feeling unloved and abandoned on a day that should be about the joy of spending time with family and loved ones. As a mother you feel absolutely defeated and powerless about the whole situation because you have no way of making it better. The one who can and should be making it better is not there, so she's the one left with fixing shit she didn't break y'know? 4. Child support is strictly calculated by the judge and if you're curious it's (in this case) 17% of the combined parental income. 2200$ is quite some money which means they both have a very decent income. And if 2200$ still seems a lot to you imma ask you this: did you want to join sports clubs as a child? Play chess? Dance? Who bought your school supplies? Did you play an instrument? Did you beg your parents for a puppy or a videogame? Who gave you lunch money? Did you get to go on random ice cream or McDonald's trips? Disneyland? Water parks? Was your fondest wish a brand new bike or skateboard at one point? All of those things cost MONEY. Money both parents are obligated to grant you for your development until adulthood. Hopefully I gave you at least some insight on the matter because what you're saying is bonkers

[@stephanieoregan]

my dad never paid a dime... i didnt meet him until i was 33, on my behest.

BUT THEN.... my husband and i got into a fight over something, and my father butted in using a dad voice on me. i spun around so fast and pushed my finger into his forehead and said, "dont you DARE use that voice with me... it has NO power here, you sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up, this is MY house and you are a GUEST. i lived without you for over 30 years and dont thin for ONE second that i need yo in my life. you want to be a part, you follow MY LEAD. dont you ever try to use parental authority over me buddy, as far as you are concerned, IM YOUR MOTHER IN THIS HOUSE," his wife poked her head around the hall wall and said, robert, that woman is not kidding and she 100 percent right, get your ass to your room" he slinked away and about an hour later he came and apologized and said, "one thing ill never fault your mother for, she raised a warrior. im so proud to see who you are and sad to know i had nothing to do with it" i said, "you had everything to do with it, ive spent my whole life fighting for the right to be loved without feeling guilty and thats because of you, take it how you will. but this is all you" we dont talk much anymore, after they moved away, i lost contact and i wonder alot if hes ok EDIT: after all the heartache and pain, why do we still hope they will just love us?

Dead beat dad's n ect, yea some of them are awful and can walk away from their kids easier but- why force your child to interact with someone who isn't emotionally interested. Not to mention the relationship between the mother and father can really speak volumes on why they can't work as a team or even why it's better they're not a team.

@@chelseykimrey5848 Depends on state and lawyers, a vindictive mother could have soul custody with no visitation rights but collect child support as well. Father might not want anything to do with son too and just fulfills legal requirements. Also fact ex was so aggressive means it was an abusive relationship most likely from her end towards him since he was so calm the entire time.

Tens had just turned orange. But I wrote him infrequently, when he'd pop into my head. In a lot of ways, prison is inhumane and should be illegal the way they do it. Grouping the inmates by age alone would stop so many horrific occurrences. I think every school bully becomes a corrections officer and they never grow out of bullying.

[@Magna_Carta5]

He makes a LOT to pay that amount. My dad made like 1200 bucks a week after taxes and his maximum was 88 bucks a week. ​He could not be ordered to pay more, because that was the maximum percentage allowed by law. Note he never mentions his pay, or that the 2200 Is a big chunk of his wages, because it isn't. He knows 2200 sounds big to most people, so he's letting some number do the walking to buy him sympathy. If he said "THAT'S LIKE TEN PERCENT OF MY EARNINGS!" Then everyone would automatically know that he's a miser that is so bitter he has to pay ANYTHING at all, that he's taking it out on the kid by not being a parent in any other way. Parenting is SO much more than financial, and I'm sick to death of parents thinking they can effectively buy a subscription and never have to do anything else for the child THEY decided to have. @@IngPeace

This is my family TBH. Both of my families are like the 3rd ladies story. Generationally and independently wealthy, but uncaring aholes, unbothered entitled aholes. (Also, rich ppl are all on drvgs or drvnks I promise you). So I went to stay with my aunt at 16 when my parents went on "vacation" to their home in France and I wasn't invited lol. Later found out later my mom went to stay there to have my twin brothers in France so they'd be dual citizens like me. I didn't know my mom was pregnant, I didn't see her for 5 months till they let me come. My parents were also in the midst if a divorce. It was messy. My aunt kept telling me, a 16 yr old, how much she hated her children, and their father. That they were such a burden. I once woke up to my 6 MONTH OLD COUSIN* crying alone in her rocker in her nursery. Idk how long she'd been there, but I had to care for her and feed her. My aunt had fired another nanny for "being nosy." I went down from the 4th floor, I was so mad, a baby could have gotten hurt alone up there if she wiggled out of the rocker!! Only after searching the house did I find my 5 yr old cousin alone watching TV. I asked where her mom was and she said rolling her eyes that her mom was in the garage, she knew exactly what my aunt was doing at 5! I tried to open the garage, baby in my hands and it was locked. I unlocked it and my aunt was smoking weed in her car with some guy. I was MORTIFIED. My aunt got mad at me for disturbing them. Admittedly my aunt is the most immature one of all the siblings. Shes almost 50 and still throws herself onto the floor having tantrums when she doesnt get her way. She has no job and leeches of my grandmother. My aunt does nothing all day but get high and remodel her house. My mom and uncle have careers but are also terrible parents. My mom dumped my twin brothers off onto me when they were about 8 months old to focus on her work again, thats like the 1 thing she cares most about. And I mean literally I raised them. My dad was an abusive alcoholic att and is still never around going on fancy fishing trips, etc. His parents fund his lifestyle and dont say anything since he almost died as a kid, they baby TF out of him still at 58. My brothers honestly barely know my parents and are 21 yrs old now. 1 of them has HF autism and I put in a lot lf work to raise them the way I NEVER was. They both consider me their mom and my autistic brother has attachment disorder. Thankfully my husband is amazing and supportive. Weve known each other since Kindergarten and his mother is my mom friend but we both hated the lifestyle. The grass isnt greener on the other side trust me.

My mom didnt defend nor trash him, just kind of let my brother make his own conclusions and now that he’s grown they don’t have a relationship. It sucks but sometimes letting ur kids see who their other parent really is can be the best thing for them.

Child support is the MINIMUM amount of parental responsibility that one owes to their child. Birthday gifts and Christmas gifts are separate from the basic day to day cost of raising a child. She just explained to him that childcare alone was $2,000! If my ex didn’t want to buy our kid a gift, fine. I’d be honest about it. “Dad didn’t buy a gift for you, I’m sorry sweetie.” Dad would have to answer for it when the child grows up.

[@t-and-p]

A little note to parents who pay child support: that money is for day-to-day living expenses. It's for rent, utlities, clothes, food, childcare (if they're younger), etc. It is NOT for gifts, birthdays or Christmas. It does not replace spending time with your kids. Yes, kids are expensive. Think about that before you lay down and have one. But it takes two to have them, so it takes two to raise them. If you don't want to pay for a child, buy gifts, for a child, spend time with a child, then the answer is simple - don't have a child. Contraception exists for a reason. Damn.

[@TheBaumcm]

[@t-and-p]

@@TheBaumcm I agree completely with you and think that's the exact answer for people with intelligence. The reason I only mentioned contraception (instead of including abstinence) is that the people that need to hear that message are not people with intelligence and self control, like yourself. The guy in the video was more interested in getting an outfit for NYE so he could go out, party, and probably get someone else pregnant. The message of abstinence will never get through to someone who prioritises getting laid over their obligations and responsibilities. For those people, contraception is the only message that stands a chance of getting through (&, even then, it only normally works if you list the horrific STI symptoms they might end up with, rather than the creation of a life they will care nothing about, sadly).

idk hes paying 2200 a month. thats far more than i make in a month. in this specific scenario shes coming off really entitled when hes already paying so much. he explained he cant afford gifts this year and thats fine. hes not obligated to give things away when he cant afford it. ive had many a year my dad struggled and didnt give gifts out and same with my mom. gifts shouldnt matter. the holiday is about being together and being kind.

[@t-and-p]

@@LionWithAGun The child support amount would have been decided by a court and based on the earnings he declared, so $2,200 will not be an unaffordable amount for him. But, in all honesty, that is not the issue. She had to go to him because he ignored the child on Christmas. It's not about money, it's about showing the child you care. Just because the court doesn't mandate that you show love to the child, that doesn't mean that you're not morally obligated to. Showing up, taking him out as a gift (to the park that will cost you nothing), making him something, or buying him something from the dollar store. All of these are acceptable - but he did nothing. This isn't about money, it's about him not caring. "He explained he can't afford gifts this year", but he also said he was there to get a new phone and buy himself a new outfit for NYE - so he has the money, he just doesn't care about son. There is no way he can get a new outfit and a new phone and not have a dollar to buy a small toy or pack of sweets/candy. You said "the holiday is about being together and being kind". I agree. The mother said her problem was the she was going to be the one to have to explain to the child why his father hadn't bothered, indicating that he wasn't going to be there. So if he isn't going to give him time, she was merely asking for a token for the child so he didn't feel unloved. If the father was doing *anything* other than court-mandated child support, the mother would not be there. She even said that neither him not his family bother with the child. That's my problem with him - he is not stepping up and being a father.

For example, the sister’s keeper. The lawyer having this thing where he tells people different things about his dog. Or that her brother is a fire starter. Or where the PP shooter took care of his daughter and all the “details” that he was proud of… while she’s trying to walk this line of applauding him and single-moms-do-it-every-day I do like that she experiments with structure (stories in a story, told backwards, etc) But she tries too hard sometimes that a literal nazi isn’t so bad because he’s a good guy now. Or a PP shooter is just frustrated that his daughter almost died (and yet it was his own bad parenting that led to her naïveté about how sex works and how pregnancy works and how abortions work and she hadn’t gone to the clinic at all.)

Making your kid's father look better than what he is will backfire on you later. As I had done this my daughter thought her dad had morals. Now don't get me wrong the man did make sure the money was there off the ideas I told him to do to make money. He is one of the best salesmen I have ever seen. With that said with my brain we did good. After we broke up she blamed my husband for why we didn't get back together. Not the two sisters in between her and her sister. We were together for 20 yrs. I found out about the two girls 21 to 22 yrs later. I knew that one maybe out there but when I did ask him he non-stop said no. At that point it was only a business relationship for me and I feel that the siblings should know each other. Which would have been good for her 3 daughter because she passed away young. I told him see if you didn't lie they would know they could have come to me instead of running around like lost girls getting with the wrong men. They believe he did more for my kids. The truth is I did more and demanded more. If I knew about them they would have got great gifts from him that I purchased. He did have 3 kids. Well 4 when was not biologically his but he did claim her as his daughter. They were taken from that mom. He did fight for years for them. The oldest got one visit from him that I went to so they figured I was his mom. One because he claimed me and the fact he looked like my daughters. So I went every weekend to see him on Saturday and Sunday. The third time he asked was his dad. I lied and said he could not make it. He looked at me and smiled. At this time I had been there 6 times or the third weekend there and at this point he knew I was lying to not have him sad. Unfortunately he remembers me saying I would do anything to give you joy in life. At some point his real mom came and unfortunately he beat her up there and how they found out I was the stepmom. So at first I couldn't come without the dad. But the only way they could control him was knowing he could have that visit with me so they let me come back. He apologize for getting so mad that he beat the mom up. I told him don't worry about it I same thing when you all were taken. She could have told the police to call me to come get all of you including your two sisters because I had the room, but she was so selfish she didn't. So I can't be mad at you.

Child support is to put a roof over the kid's head, to ensure they have electricity, running water, food in their belly, clothes, etc. So, growing up, did this dad's parents say, "No Christmas gifts for you! We already house, clothe and feed you! What more do you want?" Sounds like he's just cheap. Doesn't he love his kid?

Long story: I was working as a house keeper, nanny, dog walker, mommy helper, bartender at private parties. I didn"t work for agencies, i had my own clients. The money was good and i got the weekends off. One family i'll never forget, the husband and kids were super nice. But the wife... she was a narcissist. She is the kid of rich people that treats u badly and she won't even notice. Like, it's normal to her, that's the way she is. She asked me to work only for her, and she convinced me cause she seemed so nice. One thanksgiving she asked me to work and i said yes. My job was 9am-5pm. That day i stayed until everyone had dinner and i did a lot. I cooked, i set the big table, i cleaned the house. Washed dishes, pots, took out the trash, everything. And i stayed till 10 i believe. When everybody was at the table she called me and say "ok everyone, let's thank her for dinner, she cooked", that was weird , but whatever. Then she says "And Lucy is a single mom, she has a daughter, so whatever clothes your kids don't use anymore, give them to her". I didn't say anything but my face did. And i think her guests noticed. And if the didn't it's cause they are the same as her. When i was about to leave she handed me my money and said "oh, and we want to give u this extra, cause u worked so hard today". I was surprised cause she counts pennies, she never gave me anything extra before😂 and when i saw how much she paid me, i was like😠 Cause the money she gave me "extra" was exactly what she had to pay me for the extra hours i worked. But in her mind, she tought it was ok to pay me 13 hours of work as if i had worked 8 hours. And then i had to be thankful cause she gave me "extra $". Like i said, they don't even notice when they're being shitty. After that i never make extra efforts like i used to while at work. And one day i guess she was having a bad day and started her bs and i was like "no thank u". And left.

That’s exactly what I just went through with a lady that owns the winery I work at. I’m struggling, most ppl are. When ppl do things , just to say that they did. Or to brag …. I don’t need anything from you 💯 I only need , what I worked for . I don’t need your pity or advice. I hate the psychological hoops that society expects you to play , just to have a job nowadays. 😢 ppl are crazy 😂 And I need that job , it’s the last one I have left but this lady is a nut. I also quit a job last week , because girls were bullying me. They trashed some of my personal property, lady Gaga lip gloss and other things. I’m 36 , I still look young , it causes me issues. I’m a happy person, that’s also causes issues 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 Don’t let anyone put you down. No one❤

The last one is HELLA TRIGGERING bc I went through the same thing with my daughter's father. Thank God I had the strength to stop telling him what she needs and just worked harder and provide it. Also it's not choosing bad guys it's *when you meet someone they will never show you their true colors. No one shows you their bad side until some thing drastic takes place* now my daughter is 10 and she just flats out tells him what she needs. And when I stopped asking him he started giving her. But I just tell her to spend it on what ever she needs bc it's of no use here😂

I'm so happy Charlotte showed the clip with the guy and the mom because it's a situation that isn't talked about enough, so obviously me and my siblings love our parents because despite the narcissistic moments we had to endure they held us up when we felt down however as we grow into adulthood we learned how to deal with the ups and down and were creating our life on our own. Our parents would as much as they can hit us with the "We raised you so do this" or "I did this for you so you should.." At first, we all fell for it until we started getting into disputes that they themselves caused, and everything seemed to be our fault. I remember the moment me and my siblings and I looked at each other and just busted out laughing at how tiring and bizarre this whole thing is, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulder. Seeing other people's stories on social media taught us that parents in general made a choice to have kids wether accident or on purpose (Not talking about SA) so they're are the ones to take care of us as we arent able to now as we get older, parents have to let us go outside so that we enjoy and learn as they also got to at their age, I wish I had know this sooner but it is what it is, we put our foot down and they would bawl and whine until they realize we weren't budging and now they're given up on controlling us and would occasionally say how proud of us they are. It's bittersweet, but that's okay. My parents weren't bad people. They just felt more acclaimed to things they shouldn't, and we still love them despite how insufferable or odd they are. However, I hope that video and this comment reach to anyone who feels like giving up or is exhausted like we were and know lots of things fade with time and you will be okay❤
