Kids, Relatable and Parents: Great parenting

Great parenting

By Anonymous - 27/03/2023 01:00 - United Kingdom - Bournemouth

Today, both my mom and dad agreed I basically ruined their life by existing. They weren’t even trying to be mean, they just casually mentioned that their lives were brilliant before me, then after I was born everything turned to shit and they’ve been miserable ever since. FML

Narcissistic parenting

By CheeseMakesMeFart - 04/08/2022 06:00 - United States

Today, my parents kept on trying to create drama in my long-distance relationship,and telling me that my life is a mess. But when I tell them they played a huge part in my crippling anxiety, they change the topic. FML

Thanks for sharing your inspiring story, Dad

Today, my dad told me quite bluntly that, while he loved me, he never planned to have me. My mom baby-trapped him by sabotaging their birth control methods, and my existence ruined his life irrevocably and caused the functional alcoholism he has suffered with for 40 years. FML

Today, I realized my parents are pretty much single-handedly responsible for all of the mental illnesses and personality disorders I have now. FML

Supportive

Today, once again, my mom ranted about how she sacrificed so much for me by moving to a better city. I said it was for my education and to stop making me feel like a burden. She scoffed, "Right, you never should've been born. My mistake." FML

Good advice

By Anonymous - 03/05/2022 04:00

Today, I was advised to never have kids because they ruin your life, ruin your body, cost you money, stress you out, and the end result is they become an adult you don’t even really like or would choose to spend time with if you weren’t related. It was both my parents who gave me this advice. FML

Main character syndrome

Today, my mom found out I’m in therapy and took it as an insult, like therapy was a criticism of her parenting. Um, maybe if she hadn’t spent my childhood telling me and everyone in our family that having me was an accident, that I’ve been a huge burden, and that she should have aborted me. FML

I'm so sorry, OP. That happened to me too, several years ago. What a shitty thing for parents to tell their child. If they keep whining, tell them you didn't ask to be here, that it's not your fault, nor is it your problem.

**** them. Move out and never look back. Be successful and forget they ever existed. Maks them wanna ask you for money so you can get satisfaction from saying no.

Wow! How to be terrible parents, the advanced version… OP, it’s not your fault you were conceived and born - That was your parents decision or just plain stupidity or carelessness. And it’s certainly not your fault that your parents couldn’t handle being parents - Again that’s on them… You were not put on this earth to make your parents happy. You were put on this earth to be the best version of yourself you can be. Explore your interests and talents, make something good of your life. If possible, never look back on this accusation by your parents, who are just looking for an excuse for why their own lives didn’t turn out like they expected or wanted.

Just casually bring up that they ruined your life before you even had a chance to start it. That might make them realize how stupid & petty they are acting.
