What Unbelievable Thing Did Your Parent Confessed?

[@yourtypicalshadowlurker]

Been feeling sick all day and the “old people doing the dirty” song and dance made me feel 100x better. Thank you Mr. Facts for being such a riot and relief.

[@kimhohlmayer7018]

@AwkwardFox0987deepest empathy on the food poisoning! Not much that feels worse than that.

[@macylouwho1187]

@AwkwardFox0987get well soon, best wishes for a speedy recovery 😕

[@Ethcam_thefirst]

I’m sick too

[@katphish30]

I'm cleaning the garage with earbuds in, listening to you gleefully describe elder sex, and now my husband probably thinks I've lost my mind. 🤣🤣🤣

[@QueArres]

There are many things my mom has said to me that made me say "WTF?", but I think I'll share one of the more... odd ones. I was home from college and driving Mom somewhere to go shopping when she, out of the blue, asks, "Do you think you might be a lesbian?" I don't know if it was because I was single at the time or what, but there was absolutely no preamble to that query, and I'd only ever dated guys. Interestingly, when I later confided in her that I'm asexual, she became very insistent that I "just haven't found the right man yet." I imagine it was an immense relief to her when I got engaged to now-husband, but I still think of that weird question from time to time.

[@MarkAStephan]

I used to make up some harmless stories for my kids when they were young... Like meteorologists lived on top of mountains and watched all the time to tell what the weather was going to be, etc. Had fun with that :)

[@imaqueen223]

The “I don’t love you” from the teacher actually made me cry, WHY AM I LIKE THIS LOL 😆

[@Diamondr11Blue]

It's ok, sounds like the teacher is trynna protect their job and stay away from accusations

[@Icalasari]

14:04 - I like Steve Hofstetter's words on this: “Here’s the thing, you can’t just say ‘well you haven’t had any kids so you don’t know anything about kids.’ I’ve never flown a helicopter. But if I saw one in a tree, I could still be like, ‘Dude f'd up. It’s not supposed to be up there. That’s pilot error.'” Basically, one doesn't need to be a parent to be able to go, "You suck at this and are a horrible parent"

[@valeriehamilton6186]

I work in healthcare mostly with elderly when they tell me they love me I tell them I love you too I see them 5 days a week before they pass from hospice care they are like family ❤

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

Worked in a nursing home, don’t underestimate the elderly folks, don’t…

[@aniE1869]

😂 My mother in law was too embarrassed to explain to her daughters what a menstrual cycle was. I was told that the oldest freaked out and thought she was dieing when she first started. I was the second youngest of six girls so I knew all about it and far more at probably a much younger age than I probably should have.🤣

[@ladymorrigan5950]

My mom never told me anything. Luckily the school showed a film about that stuff before it happened. Film required parents permission & was shown in the school library one evening. Mom & I went with my friend & her mom. The friend started talking to me about it otw so I wasn’t completely shocked by the movie.

[@Diamondr11Blue]

That's so cringe. It's a natural thing and needs to be taught. It's not embarrassing

[@Icalasari]

16:12 - People also forget that there are a ton of different kinds of love. Heck, Ancient Greek has like a dozen different words for the kinds of love out there

[@badwolfhunter221b]

Story 6 made me think of something my dad used to say all the time. Anytime he wanted to indicate something was "before my time," he'd say it was "before I was a twinkle in my daddy's eye." I was embarrassingly old before I realized what that meant lol

[@Ashstar4]

My mom has said some things when I was 20 that didn't actually register as a WTF until years later. 1. She told me that when I was a year old that she had a friend that was a football player who apparently asked her to leave my father and be with him but that she decided against it because I needed my dad. Now realizing years later that this could mean she was cheating on my dad or there was nothing going on and he just fell for her but then why bring it up at all. 2. That doctors where on standby when I was born because I could have had a condition similar to blue baby syndrome due to her and my dad having different blood types. I looked into it years later after remembering and from what she mentioned it actual sounds like Hemolytic Disease of the newborn, only problem is it is only a problem with second pregnancies....I am an only child, so either one of two things she was trying to tell me 1 she had a terminated pregnancy once before or 2 I have a half-sibling she gave up for adoption somewhere in North America. Considering she brought it up then the most likely second option so I may have a half-sibling only I can't find out if its that because by the time I got interested in what she said she had already died.

[@gopher383]

The old people flaps bit reminds me of the Mythbusters episode where they combined two phone books by overlapping pages

[@kimhohlmayer7018]

My mother told me that my husband and I had nothing to offer a child. This was when we knew I couldn’t conceive a baby and we were considering adopting. Thankfully we did not listen and adopted our wonderful, amazing son. I also warned her when we filled out our paperwork that if her written reference wasn’t glowing, I would cut all ties with her and my dad. I’m an only and I’m stubborn as hell so she knew I was serious. Btw, my husband and I were excellent parents. My son is a fine adult now. Best decision my husband and I ever made was adopting him. He knows he was and is loved and wanted.

[@pheonyx5380]

When I was younger (about 13-15) I was always taken to church (forcefully) by my grandparents. I’d have to go to the kids area and sit there bored as f because all they ever did with us was read the Bible over and over again. When we were done, I’d have random old people come up to me and CONSTANTLY ask if I’d watch their kids (typically around 6-7ish). When I said I wasn’t comfortable around kids, they got offended with me and would usually say something along the lines of “well, when you have kids you’ll understand,” or, “you just haven’t had the right experience with God yet.” I’d always tell them they’d have a better chance having a man get pregnant than me. Oh the irony (I’m a trans man, for context, and I find this hilarious now. Unfortunately, I’m no longer in contact with my grandparents because of their transphobia.)

[@cmdrezeri]

I think my biggest “wtaf” moment with me mum was when I wondered aloud why I was still a virgin in my teenage years. It was something along the lines of “I’m not sure how/why with it being so common in my friend/peer group. Her response: “It’s because you’re too nice.” Just like, ‘ey mum. What are you- uhh- implying there? Then again, there’s another case when I was much younger and had just learned about “Tom Boys” which I had thought was pretty cool. Girls who shrug off social norms and aren’t afraid to act a little bit masculine. So I, now an AMAB trans femme demigirl, asked her what the reverse would be called. What do you call a boy how acts like a girl? “A sissy.” Pun aside, boy did that hurt. But my internalized response was just “And what exactly is wrong with that?” In retrospect that was definitely a big ol’ flashing and vibrant flag about my future.

[@macylouwho1187]

I’m so sorry that you aren’t supported by family, virtual hugs to you 😕

[@cmdrezeri]

@@macylouwho1187 Thank you so much! I’m not saying I could cry right now but it certainly isn’t out of the question

[@cmdrezeri]

@@macylouwho1187 I also now realized a rather important component was missing from my statement and have edited it accordingly.

[@zelisoundso5976]

I laughed out loud at the old people Velcro part. Genius

[@pammywilly]

Your grandparents doing the dirty - hilarious 😂😂😂😂

[@darthestar8791]

They once tried and pulled the “we’re selling your gaming console” but never actually doing so, just hiding it cause I “misbehaved” one too many times… Made it hard to believe they actually would go through with things til the times they did and it shocked me. Parents, Don’t ever do shit like this, it’ll make your kids less likely to believe you when you are being honest. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO PREACH THE THAT HONESTY IS IMPORTANT!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY ALL STUFF LIKE THAT IS GOING TO DO IS TEACH YOYR KIDS THAT SELECTIVE HONESTY AND LYING ARE HOW YOU GET THROUGH LIFE!!!!!

[@DeadAlready_1248]

That first one my mom told me and my siblings till we ultimately found out (she never told us, we found it out on our own)

[@Samuyknights]

I once had a locked personal journal on notes when my mother found it on my phone she tried to open and unlock it then when she couldn’t she immediately asked why I had locked notes

[@eitrtine3448]

I remember when I got into an argument once with my mom over my sister being the golden child, and how she's always favored my sister over me, and she swore up and down that she "had no favorite child"... walked into my room not even three hours later to ask me for help with signing into her account on something, her password? "[Sibling's Name]andMe" I was so over it that day, lol 😂

[@ShyKai13]

My mom always said she didn’t originally want kids, I found out that she was gonna abort me and decided not to. Though my sister and I keep joking about these things and I think it’s kinda funny cause ever since I moved out I’ve been the favorite

[@ravent2631]

When I was about 14, my mum said my step sister was more her daughter than I was. Her reasoning was that they shared more in common. I was raised by my dad, who isn't parent of the year, either.

[@ladymorrigan5950]

I grew up in the southern USA where greens (usually collards or mustards) are a pretty common dish. I didn’t want to eat them. My uncles etc saying they would put hair on my chest was not encouraging. I was pretty certain that I didn’t want a hairy chest as an 8 (?) year old girl. My aunt finally told me that I would get ‘big boobs’ if I ate them. I ate them after that but I guess it wasn’t enough…..😂

[@Glen-v5l]

I ACTUALLY laughed out loud when you sang about wrinkly old people

[@Aubsy]

The old people doing the dirty song is not very fun to listen to while eating 💀

[@ViraIshnia]

The mom throwing the parrot outside hit way too close to home. My mom on more than one occasion threatened to throw my parrots out into the snow cage and all. I was terrified to leave the house because those parrots were the best things about my life at the time. I refused to move out unless I could take my parrots with me because I didn't trust her when she said she'd care for them until I could bring them with me. The day my dad finally caved and let me bring my parrots was the beginning of a better life. I still have one of those parrots left (old age and illness got the others)

[@mousepariah3884]

The random M. Bison quote was great XD

[@beccas5201]

I work with kids, and I absolutely loved each and every one of those kids. That sub was absolutely awful to say that. Poor kid

[@emmitnosee5370]

On the first story, I have a friend who said some similar things. He thought girls didn’t have vaginas and had penises like men. Unfortunately, me and the boys broke that news to him in seventh grade.

[@129140163]

I believed that too when I was little. I assumed *everybody* had what I now know to be male genitalia. 😂

[@iloveanimemidriff]

9:00 - parents that still don't know why their kid ended up moving to the opposite side of the country and haven't even called for Christmas or Thanksgiving in decades...

[@catlover9078]

My parents quickly learned to explain things in a child appropriate manner, after explaining to me where babies came from and I started drawing penises and vaginas on all my stick figures. They didn't make the same mistake with my brothers 😂😂

[@basicdesign1]

21:10 you can't believe anyone who's saying that so-and-so is abusive: too many ppl lie. You've got to help and ensure that the abused gets tangible proof of it (without getting more hurt if that's the case). 1) then you'll really know who to believe. 2) these proofs will be needed to get rid of the abuse.

A girl who worked in the Subway in my hometown's Wal-Mart was 16 and had a 2 year old daughter.

[@Beemy0s]

when I was about 12ish-14 I had a really bad self harm problem and told my mom because I wanted help. She was mad at me. Like a month later she was yelling at me about something and I was crying cause ya know, and then she yelled "Oh and don't you dare just go back to your room and CUT yourself again" another time when I was like 10 she told me to get the fuck out of her sight when I failed a class cause I had undiagnosed learning disabilities. Another time she had her hand up for a high five and I wasn't in the mood for any sort of physical contact while we were in karate class together and when we got to the car she yelled at me for an hour and said more things about my self harm as well as "Screw You" and stuff like that. More recently like two years ago when I was 15 I told my therapist about her saying something weird and apparently my mom was listening into my therapy session (it was from home and my room is on a completely different floor than the office she uses for work at home) and she didn't tell me or say anything until like a week later when me and her were going somewhere but dropping my younger (13yo at the time) sibling off and said she recommended my therapist to one of her friends. I said "Okay thats not something I would like to know though" (cause I'm a paranoid person and she knows this) and she went off on me while my sibling was in the car about how "you have this list of things you don't want me to tell you but you won't tell me what they are until I say them" and I was like "I don't know until you say it cause usually it's things I don't really expect you to say!" She at one point before kicking me out of the car at a craft store yelled at me about how "you'll never know what it's like to be a parent and how hard it is. You ruined this relationship forever." and she abandoned me and left me alone in the store where I messaged my dad (who lived and still lives in another state) and once I calmed down I decided to look for her and found her and she threw everything in her arms that she looked like she was gonna buy back and walked at a faster pace than me which made me seem like a creep. She then drove unsafely to this meeting we were going to for lgbtq youth and a sperate one or parents. After she sternly talked to me in the car and tried to gaslight me about what I told my therapist she said and then she said "Well you must've misunderstood" but in a way that made me feel dumb and that I didn't understand (cause I knew she was gaslighting me and I was so confused) so I expressed that to her and then she said it again more aggressively and then I said I didn't understand and she was like "How do you not understand 'Well I think you misunderstood'" but she said it ik a different more explaining way than before and i told her that and got mad and said something like "Do yiu need me to extra explain everything?" and I said yes because my brain doesn't work the same ways as hers and I need help understanding (I have C-ADHD and a bunch of other things) and then she said "Well maybe you should get your therapist to work with you to make your brain work better." and I was absolutely flabbergasted and just shut up. The next day she said to me "Hey I'm sorry let's just forget any of last night ever happened okay?" and I didn't say anything and then she got mad again and said something about holding grudges. another even more recent thing from like a year ago was something happened idk what and my stepdad told my mom that he thinks i have some sort of grudge against him because of how he disciplined me for the first time ever and I said "How am I supposed to remember that when I have a huge memory gap from 6 to like 8 years old? Did he say what he did?" and she was like "No but you need to like him" and I was like "How do I even hold a grudge about something I don't even remember?" and then she yelled at me about something and how my stepdad thinks I don't like him even though he's the one who's been acting like he hates me since I was like 12. It's weird- Oh and this is the last one for now- when I was like 13 and diagnosed with depression and anxiety and had expressed my suicidal thoughts and self harm to my mom I was doing something I don't remember what and she said "Stop being so edgy" I think I was venting to her about my depression. OH wait this one was creepy and weird and around the same time. for context I have always struggled with my body and stuff and I only recently (like 3 years ago) discovered I was trans (female to male). This story was before that but I have a relatively large chest and small waist and I was wearing a shirt I liked because it was soft. It just so happened to be form fitting and showed off a lot but it was soft so I didn't really care. At dinner my mom said "Wow I really wish I looked like that" and then I felt weird and uncomfortable and my stepdad kept looking at me. I don't think I ever wore that shirt again after that.

[@Beemy0s]

I just remembered another one- I once around the age of 13 told my mom I was stress from school and it made me feel like I wanted to punch someone's teeth out. She said 'Well what do you want me to do about it?" in a dismissive tone and I said "I don't know..." and then she said nothing else and walked to my room. A week later I talked to my therapist/ psychiatrist about it who then called my mom in and told her about it. On the way home my mom yelled at me about "How was I supposed to know you meant mentally stressed?!!" and I was just sitting there like- why would I be physically stressed from school? another time she said "Acne scars are ugly and if you keep picking at your acne you get scars do you wanna look like that?" and I already had some a the time and now have a lot. On the same day as the acne scar thing (this was after I told her I was trans) she mocked me in an overly high pitched voice when she knew I was extremely self conscious about my voice. and she wondered (and still does wonder) why I don't talk to her about my feelings

[@AeronHale]

That my father tried to sell me on Ebay and was subsequently banned from Ebay for it. I doubted this for many years but turns out it was actually true... Shouldn't have been surprised. This *IS* the person who left me at a gas station in a fricking desert for 3 hours when I was 7.

[@Anime_Dragoon]

Doesn’t bother me. I stopped watching Mostly Facts because the guy was kinda monotone and had a single expression to me. This guy brings emotion and laughs and makes jokes at the funny parts.

[@M1N1molo]

I actually enjoy it. The channel seemed monotone, soulless, and corporate before. But with some kind of old-ish dude who talks about subjects both seriously and comedically. It allows you to build a bond with the channel, and the character of the channel. It also gives you some way to recognize the channel better.

[@KARMA-gr4uh]

No not really, feels more human tbh

[@aniE1869]

I don't really watch the video and just listen while I'm doing other things.
