Mine hit me with the “We’re spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”
Like…okay??? Thanks for the emotional receipt, I guess??
Mum once told me that she wished she was brave enough to go through with the abortion.

cw: sexual assault
when i was 12 my father drunkenly told me that he had planned out a rape. learned the woman’s habits and stalked her and chickened out at the last minute. the wistfulness in his voice as he slurred out this confession makes my skin crawl to this day.
My childhood was really fucked up but that one stands out.
From Mom: “You don’t deserve any praise for your good grades. You already speak the languages in those classes so it’s expected you do well.”
From Dad: “Why did you only get 99%?”
Context: I grew up in a household where we spoke many languages. In highschool I had an easy time getting good grades in all the foreign language lessons but struggled with Maths or Science classes. The parents couldn’t fathom I could have a failing grade because I didn’t need to study for some classes (which should have given me more time to study for other classes, amarit?).
From Mom: “You don’t deserve any praise for your good grades. You already speak the languages in those classes so it’s expected you do well.”
They could have been more sensitive about it, but I get the logic?
“Why did you only get 99%?”
Had a classmate who’s parents were like that, he had a huge inferiority complex because of that
I found one of my classmates in the bathroom, crying, because she got a B+ on an assignment and she was afraid to tell her parents. Imagine being scared to tell your parents you got a good grade.
When I was home for the summer after my first year of university, I was taking a distance course. I listened to music a lot while studying. Day before a test, dad was yelling at me for not studying enough. He refused to believe I had studied because he heard me playing music a lot. He couldn’t comprehend I could have music on and be studying. To be fair, now that I’m older I have trouble concentrating on other things while music is on but back then I could have music on and study. I can’t fathom thinking a person must be actively listening to music and doing nothing else. Also because of my autism, being yelled at unfairly the day before a test actually made it harder to concentrate on the test because I was focused on being unfairly yelled at. Also this was after I had been living away from home for a year and passed most of my university classes, so he should have known I knew what I was doing when it came to studying. And if he didn’t think I could study with music playing, how the fuck did he think I had sufficient time to study in the dorms?
In the 90s and 00s my dad liked to tell people how attractive he found middle school girls.
What changed in the 10s?
I guess he only brought it up while one of his kids was around that age ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That somehow makes it grosser.
As an involved parent you gotta take an interest in your children’s interests!
Dad once said he wishes I wasn’t his son, that one of my childhood friends was instead. I told this to one of my friends and he said something I really appreciate. He said I’m the strongest person he knows because anyone else would’ve … let’s say taken drastic measures to escape abuse.
The word for leaving you 🧍is nonplussed
Literally speechless because you have no idea how or what to respond.
Thnx, learned something new today
Not my parents but my grandparents:
“Why did you get your ear pierced, are you removed?” Gma
“The devil tricked women and she manipulated adam into paying for her sins. WOMEN AT NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!”
Gpa.
I don’t get what she means by “removed”
It means that’s either this server or their server is censoring shit
probably the r-slur for disabled or the f-slur for LGBTQ+
The f slur sorry was just telling the story
Oooh ok i see
Thats sad tbh
Ya I can’t wear earings, that’s a gma burn sticks for life.
When I was a teen and my brother started behaving in a sexually inappropriate way towards me, my mom told me it’s normal for teenaged siblings to be curious about each other sexually, and him trying to break into the bathroom while I was showering, or showing his erection off to me were “just what having a brother is like”. Really makes me wonder about her and her brother.
