Top 10 Ways Adults are Hypocrites
Don’t get me wrong, I respect parents, teachers and others as long as they’re respectful back, but I can’t help but notice how hypocritical many of them can be, so this list is about that.
If parents were going to yell at kids for doing something, then they should talk firm but very calmly instead of yelling. Plus, patents should also set a VERY WELL BEHAVED EXAMPLE for their own kids by admitting their mistakes and tell their kids nicely about NOT making the same mistakes like they (parents) did when they were younger because what I have just explained can help all ages of kids to understand better. Parents should be a very good role model to their kids.
Then they try to cover it up with the "when I was your age" bull. "When I was your age, I was perfect", "When I was your age, we didn't have (insert thing)". We get it. Your life sucked. Stop blaming it on our generation because your generation was the one that created it.
At least I can go more than 5 minutes without being on my phone, hypocrite!
My Mum tells me NOT too spend too much time but she does it herself.
It's kind of funny in a way too because finding someone born before the 90s who doesn't smoke is pretty much a miracle. I think I only know 2 people between the ages of 20-70 who don't smoke.
Not to mention that most parents swear in front of their kids, so the kids most likely got it from them.
A children that is swearing is not an issue unless if they're directing it at someone.
My parents are the biggest hypocrite in the world!
Okay yeah, this isn't as common with parents as the other items, but this is another thing that comes to show that your parents probably aren't as good of role models as you think they are when you're little. It's great that you're trying to discourage your kids from using drugs and all because every parent should, but that doesn't automatically make you a good role model when you do the drugs yourself.
Everyone focuses on feminism and racism, and both of those are indeed problems, not many people focus on the injustice children receive, not just from their parents, but from some adults too.
Listen, I don't care how old you are because physical age means absolutely nothing. If you've been nothing but an ass to me, you're going to get that same treatment back.
No! Everyone should be treated equally with respect, whether older or younger!
Oh my god, stuff like this makes me want to snap at them.
That is a very bad example to their kids.
This is supposed to be they tell kids to go to college, but they get kids in trouble for dropping out when they most likely did too. I don't encourage anyone to drop out of school because although parents do exaggerate a bit, it is usually harder to get a good job, so you definitely wanna stay in school, but what I'm saying is they treat you like a bum for the rest of your life if you do drop out and act like you'll never achieve anything for the rest of your life, and it's especially funny if they dropped out themselves.
Maybe the kids parents got an autism, or something like that.
Even if I show the SLIGHTEST annoyance at them when they actually annoy me or make me do useless things I hate, they get really mad at me and call me disrespectful and selfish and make me feel like a terrible person. Sometimes, they even yell at me for like over 30 minutes and force me to listen to them. But they're allowed to scream at the top of their lungs,strip my rights such as my electronics and my room/privacy, and even get physical.
Parents may be a hypocrite, but calling your parents a psycho sounds very mean.
I cannot stand this at all! I never would've gotten away with doing a lot of the things the kids from these dumb *ss vlogging channels do every day and get praised for it 24.7, not even at their age, so why is it suddenly cute when they do it? Because "they're famous and rich"?
My Mum and Dad always does that. Parents who tell kids to hurry up, but take more longer themselves are setting a very bad example for their kids.
I do this to my kids all the time. Shame on me
My mom takes forever to leave the house.
Every time I tried to spend time with my Mum, she keeps me fully isolates me and rudely screams at me for no reason. This is why I've lost so much respect for my Mum because she is very rude to me of no reason. I'm always nice to my Mum and she screams at me a lot. But if I start to scream she think that there is something wrong with me: What a Hypocritical Mum! Then all of a sudden my Mum is acting like she's the victim of everything when it's clearly her fault. My Mum always on my Dad's side when he harasses me a lot.
Whenever you get mad at them, they tell you to control you anger and you get in trouble for being "disrespectful". But when THEY get mad at you, they can scream at you louder than a jumbo jet, threaten you, shame you, threaten you, get physical, punish you etc. It's so unfair!
Every time my Mum gets angry I never accuse her for being rude and mind my own business. But when I do the same thing, she tells everyone that I'm very rude and over reacts.
I agree! I love my family, but this happens a lot when we see our family friends. Like my brother and I are having a good time with our friends and they call us when it's time to leave. But they talk with the other parents for a long time. Like do you want us to leave or not?!
Either that or their help is useless and/or would actually get you into more trouble
They always say this, but then they make me depressed and then get mad at me for it and try to make me feel like a bad person.
That was extremely horrible (to that user who said that their Mum is mentally I'll).
My Mum wears shorts, mini dresses/skirts and allows my sisters to wear it as well. But if I wear anything that's short my Mum would get angry with me in a very aggressive way and tells me that I look like a prostitute for wearing those kind of clothes. For every little things my Mum is always ashamed of me! This makes me want to fully HATE my Mum and my UGLY sisters!
