Crappy things your parents have done?

[Deleted User]

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:

Didn't swallow my sister. I'm the first-born and I don't like sharing.

Is that a Greek mythology joke I smell?

 

[Localhorst86]

They made me. Does that count?

I read the title of this thread and was literally about to make this comment, and you ruined my whole life by making it before me. My life is now not worth living anymore, thanks dad!

No, it's a PSA to wear condoms, get butt lube, or drink a protein shot.

I would totally call that female Greek child-eater, if I could.

Take away the chargers for all my game system for a year. A literal year, I had to play using power saving modes. Quite a creative punishment looking back at it

Run in on them while having sex.

My grandparents didn't let me go for walks on my own until I was 14... Life is strange.

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.

Cause I was an adult when they started doing that.

well you said younger, so I was pretty sure you meant like 10+

You know, it's like my dad would smack us, when we were younger, but now,
He just threatens, hes really soft now.
Like I can mess with his hair while he's on the computer, pretty chill.

Made me eat my vegetables

I still Don't know why kids didnt like their veggies, they werent that bad.

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.

I could have, but then that would have opened the door for me to be run in on. After seeing Smokey, I think I'll yell, "FIRE!!!!!" if I hear a bed squeaking.....but I think it's too late for worries.

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

holy. **** this is the most brutal response and somehow nobody's acknowledged it yet.

Thanks so much for the chuckle LOL

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.
