Worst Types of Parents
We all know who they are.Your parents may have brought you into this world, but that does not mean they won't make it a living hell. This is the Bottom Ten Types of Parents.
My mom gets too mad at the slightest things. She got angry at my sister for not asking her to turn on the Xbox, which is
1. the stupidest reason to yell at someone
2. her fault for not having a second TV
No wonder she and my dad (the actually good one) always argue a lot. I've been finding help for 2 years, and I've been called a "spoiled brat" or "ungrateful." I feel helpless. She lets my older sister slack around the house and play on her Chromebook while I am stuck carrying a 45 lb grocery bag. (Yes, it's always the exact weight.) It seems like she only does it to be a jerk. Even when I try avoiding her and leaving her alone, she finds a way to make me mad.
These parents are the worst. They scream like a psycho when they get mad at you, they overreact too much, they make really dumb rules, they are overprotective, they're too strict, they "assault" you when they get mad, etc. These parents should get a taste of their own medicine.
My mum is nearly all of those things and it's really killing me.
I grew up in a Christian family and honestly can't stand it. It feels like I'm getting a bunch of stuff shoved down my throat at times. My grandfather always demands that I go to church, and they can be very strict. Everything is always a lecture if I don't pray before eating or follow through with any religious practices.
They force me to have friendships with only religious people. I'm not allowed to date anyone who isn't religious, or date at all. Being 18, I don't get to do much for my age. It doesn't help that I am an atheist and don't believe in a "god." Our perspectives are the complete opposite. They are also strongly against anything related to the LGBTQ community. I, on the other hand, don't really care and believe people should be who they want to be.
I'm Goth and a furry, so they stereotype me, assuming that these interests will lead me down a dark path. Like being Christian is the answer to success? End of story: I look forward to getting my own space one day. They've ruined Christianity for me. - L00na
They force you to do things you don't want to do. My mom forced me on the Small World ride at both Disney Parks in CA and FL. My parents also forced me to go to a Chinese Lantern festival near my house.
I love my mom, but yesterday she got mad when I asked her if the chocolate bar was my dad's. She said, "Why do you and your dad always care about yourselves? You're selfish."
Imagine just sitting in your room, minding your own business, when they ask if you want to go outside. You say no, then they start to complain. When you say no again, they start yelling at you.
No playing in the rain, or you'll get sick.
No violent video games.
No biking without your helmets, knee pads, arm pads, shoulder pads...
No running in the house.
No devices because you'll go blind.
I admit that I've searched online for how to successfully sneak out your bedroom window once or twice...
Your friends have an Xbox One with Titanfall and Call of Duty. What do you have? A Wii with Wii Party and Sims Creator because your parents think "gun games were designed by Satan" or "you're too young to hear swear words," though they cuss every second you're around.
Almost a month ago, my stupid mom looked at all my social media. She then yelled at me for "wasting my time on useless things" and for swearing and posting depressed stuff since I hate myself and my life so much. She even looked at my private Discord journal, which also had pictures of girls. Thankfully, she didn't talk about that. My dumb dad later interrogated me about it. Like, why do you idiots need to know?! It's none of your business. Just please stay out of my life! Give me some privacy! When they snoop in my personal business, interrogate me, and say that I'm "too young for privacy" and that I have to tell them everything, it makes me so mad. I just want to scream at them and hit them hard. I am 17, and I will be 18 in less than 3 months! Leave me alone!
Puts me in a bad mood. Tired of hearing constant negativity...
My stepmother pulls this all the time. She even took it to the extreme once and told me that "if I didn't agree with her, then I should just leave and run away." These parents don't make your life a living hell. They make it worse.
You're arguing with your parents because you said what they didn't want to hear. You prove your point with outstanding evidence, but your parents say, "I'm your mother/father, so I'm always right." Don't you just hate that?
The worst thing about these parents is that they make far more mistakes and learn nothing from them. If they say they are always right, almost all the time they are wrong.
My parents are Asian, and they are obsessed with saving money. They wouldn't get me stuff because it's "too expensive," even if it's just for my birthday or Christmas!
My dad never got me a Nintendo Switch because:
1. It's "too expensive."
2. He thought my Nintendo 3DS was enough.
Thank goodness I saved up my money to buy a Nintendo Switch Lite.
My brother is 16 and in high school. His school days end an hour after mine (15:00 to 16:50), and my dad always says that my brother has a worse time in school than I do because he has longer days and has to have woodshop almost every day.
He always says that I shouldn't complain about my day being bad when his is worse. Meanwhile, I come home with mental breakdowns.
The Newcomers
Imagine you're 25 years old and a technician, living far away from your parents. They call you up one day and ask you to fix their appliance (for this, we'll say microwave). You drive 15 miles to their house to fix it, only to realize they didn't plug it in... Really?
My dad calls himself "stupid" because he doesn't know how to use an Amazon Fire TV stick.
I was at a piano competition once. In the previous ones, I won a statuette and a medal. My parents were proud, but it wore off after a few hours. Back to the topic, the most recent one was on 27/04/2019. I didn't win anything, and my parents yelled for hours on end before we even got home. I asked my dad why he was being so critical and negative. His reply was, "I'm giving you motivation." Yeah, right. His "motivation" did anything BUT motivate me. In fact, it even made my secret self-loathing more extreme and made me question why I even exist if I'll be reprimanded whatever I do.
GOSH, I CAME IN A GOOD PLACE IN BOTH OF MY PREVIOUS ONES! WHY CAN'T YOU APPRECIATE THAT, GREGORY? (Gregory is my dad's name.) This is one of the vigintillion reasons why I resent my father, and I'm super glad to get that off my chest. Rant over (for now).
That's mine! Once I got yelled at for eating snacks!
Say you're playing Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto V, and your mum has to do outdoor work. What does she do? Drag you to a five-hour job while you could have been rocketing up your character and game progress.
My dad likes to do tai chi and he forces me to do it with him. It's boring.
You love meat. You can't get enough of Pepperami. You adore the taste of pepperoni pizza. However, your mum and dad constantly shove fruit and veg down your throat because "meat is murder." Classic vegans.
I agree, except for me, they want me to have so much meat and not vegetables. The meat they make is often horrible, sloppy, messy crap that was probably in the fridge for ages.
My parents are Asian and they think that eating too much meat will make you fat.
This is my mom. She blames almost everything on me and she would tell me negative stuff like, "You are a disgrace."
My mom and dad blame me for everything because I am the oldest. "Your sister is young, and you need to take responsibility sometimes..." I am more responsible than any of them. PSHHH, I am the most mature!
You should be more responsible. I'm thinking in my head, you should shut your mouth. But I just tell them I hate responsibility and am not responsible for every single mistake everyone around me makes. When my friends and I beat up a group of bullies, I got yelled at for not stopping the fight. But I'm not a hippie like my parents, so yeah.
This is my mom. So she tells me that it's OK to enjoy dessert in moderation during parties. At one party, I enjoyed dessert, and then at another party, I enjoyed dessert again. Then she was like, "you shouldn't eat so much dessert."
WHY?
To make it short, they tell you to do something, then tell you to stop doing it. WHY?!?
That's my mom.
Me: Can I go to the dollar store that's across the street from home?
Mom: No.
Me (when I was 18): Can I go to NYC for a school trip with my chorus class?
Mom: No.
Me: Can I walk to McDonald's?
Mom: No.
EVERY SINGLE TIME! And I'm 26! Very annoying!
Same. If your parents are not like bullies, you're lucky.
This is my mom. If I don't do things exactly her way, she gets really mad at me.
This is actually true. This applies and is well-known with Asian parents as they always believe that pushing into the next levels quicker is a good idea, but it is not. They also shout at you every time you get something bad. I got a 5, but the year's expectation is 6, and my mom shouted at me because of it. It was just not THAT bad. At least calm down for once. It is not the infamous 'end of the world.' Giving your child a breaking point with the limit of studying is insane.
Oh yeah, they sign you up for a lot of classes that you won't even use much in the future. That's how desperate they are for you to succeed, and it fails.
No. Your generation is living the simple, old-fashioned, and immigrant life. We live the American way with education, entertainment, and electronics. Our generation is WAY better than yours.
This is extremely annoying. I feel like when I have kids, I will be telling them things like how I used my legs for getting around as a kid.
An alcoholic parent can really ruin your relationship with them. Imagine the sight of your drunk mother passed out on the floor with a busted lip, and having to clean up her blood and spilled whiskey.
But then it's hopeless because she continues to drink the very next day like it's no big deal.
