Crappy things your parents have done?

My parents don't believe in violence as a punishment, and any other punishment I've received (ie groundings, taking something away, whatever) I deserved.

Just because you have shitty parents doesn't mean everyone else does. :shrug:
I don't have shitty parents either :shrug:

I'm 35 and my dad still thinks I can't cook without ruining anything. So he tends to give detailed instructions for everything and I have nod and pretend I don't know how to do anything.

We had an argument last night over fucking sous-vide beef steak because it "LOOKS LIKE PORK, and pork can make you ill if you dont' cook it right." He got mad when I corrected him and he went into the rabbit hole of "If you don't want to listen to me, then GET food poisoning." The steak was delicious, by the way.
Pork can make you ill when you don't cook it right ? That's the first time i'm hearing that. Guess people in Belgium, Netherlands and France get sick all the time for eating raw pork spread out on bread.

There's a similar thing that's popular in Vietnam. Delicious as a spread, but my parents are terrified of it.

This was actually a legitimate concern (along with various other "don't eat XYZ when raw") for multiple reasons, the main one being poor food sanitation. In the last 20 years or so (for pork, anyways), it's become extremely rare for a person to be sick because of raw/undercooked food thanks to recent food sanitation laws, but if you lived before those sanitation laws were created then yes, it was a huge concern. Which is why a lot of older people will give you that "don't eat raw pork, you'll get sick" claim, because in their time it was 100% true. It's just in the same vein as those other "unfounded" wives tales, like not touching a baby bird, or sitting too close to a TV.

Here we have 3 kinds made with raw beef or raw pork. What's it like in Vietnam?

It's a savoury spread that's very similar to foie gras in texture. Creamy, and slightly delicious. Haven't had it in Vietnam (probably won't try it because the country is hotter than Satan's testicles in a trenchcoat), but it is used in "sandwiches" like a spread.

I have a disorder called Sensory Processing Disorder which, as the name implies, causes people to process certain sensory input incorrectly. For me, I have issues with noise. Stuff sounds louder than it does to a normal person, or certain sounds bug me more than they do for a normal person. Sometimes it's worse on random days. Occasionally I'll ask people to turn stuff down or stop talking for a few minutes because it's too loud and is starting to bug me. This sometimes causes my dad to get angry at me and start yelling because "we're at the dinner table and we're trying to have a conversation like a family" or for other reasons, which pushes me into sensory overload, causing me to start yelling back at him because at that point I usually can't control myself and I just act on impulse. My dad always keeps going and going because he doesn't get that I can't stop unless he stops yelling at me. It's stopped happening now that he's starting to understand how SPD works, but it kept happening on and off for years before now.

The worst I've had was having my mouth washed out with soup when I swore. Looking back, it's kinda amusing. Especially given how me and my mother swear as part of normal conversation with each other now. Interesting how times move on.
got your mouth washed out with soup? Are we talking chicken noodle?

Well, you'll like me then since I don't talk very loud.
