My pet name for my boyfriend is “Pogi” which is Filipino for “Handsome”. This Christmas at his parents house I called him “Pogi” in front of his Filipino mom and she turned to me “what did you say?” She asked kindly and I told her “I called him Pogi, it’s my nickname for him and he is Pogi.” She got a bright look on her face obviously approving of the nickname and I think finding it sweet that I use their culture to respect her son. That Christmas the first time she referred to me as “sweetie” when asking me if I needed help. The first term of endearment I’ve received from her. I do feel like it was a blessing for her to hear me call her son a kind name in her native language. Update June 16 2024 - From Boyfriend to Fiancé!
That’s so sweet. 🥹I’m assuming you aren’t Filipino? I’m sure his mom really did love that you’re embracing their culture instead of trying to erase/ignore it. It probably meant a lot to her. Best of luck!
This is precious! I'm glad his mom likes you and I predict that she will be seeing you as a daughter in law if she isn't already. If you like to cook, it might be fun to learn how to cook favorite Filipino foods from her. I wish you every happiness!
Charlotte you don't understand, my husband calls me, his wife, Daddy. One time he called me Daddy in front of my dad, and my dad looked at him and said "You kids today" 😂😂😂😂
Lol my sister calls her husband “Daddy”, that phrase as always creeped me out, the ick if you will. Every time she says it, I repeat what she says but say “FAAATHA” like Darth Vader 😂😂😂 I die laughing
I do that but only since we had kids and my eldest calls him daddy so I started to do it too do that my kids don't go around calling him by his first name all the time (which always seems to happen with other there)... their dad calls me mummy in front if the kids as well but when they are in bed we go back to our names
Ick! He’s not my father, he’s my husband & he’s not allowed to call me “old lady”, Mother/Mommy and definitely not “babe”. All my kids call their father Dad.
@@strivingtoonedaybeuseful6049 this I can understand. Just don’t be like my in laws deep into their 50’s calling each other mom and dad when the kids have left the house 😂
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi I remember when my kids were little, and even now occasionally, I called them babe/baby. So it would creep me out if I dated a guy who would say that. No, pick another pet name, cuz that ain’t it
First story: honestly, the fact that the moms gossiped and got into a friendship ending fight over their two kids proves exactly why they didn’t want their moms to know. They would have been involved to an unhealthy degree if they did know, the fact that they ended their friendship over made up drama is hilarious
honestly pretty shitty of OP and gf to do all of this over pride, and weren't they just feeding them lies? its was funny until it wasn't, but who the hell cares?
@@b00ksrb3tt3rthanpplnah if they did tell the mothers it would not have ended on “just start dating”, they would have started insisting on getting married, having children, where to live, what school to send them to, what extracurriculars to have, what job to aim for, who the kids should date etc etc. it would go on and on. They would have gotten over involved in how the dude would propose, in how the wedding should go. These two mothers seem the type to go too far just from how much they were trying to pair their children together like dolls instead of human beings. Better to have them end the friendship and stop their meddling than to let it go on for their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. These mothers only saw their children as toys
@@b00ksrb3tt3rthanppl for a lot of people being PUSHED into things, really bothers their brain. My (now wife) sat me down. Told me she understands my mother has been pressuring me to propose to her. (I hate being told what to do). After she sat me down and told me she just wants to be with me and she doesn't care if we're married. No one else's opinion matter. I asked her to marry me IMMEDIATELY after that. She was so happy I felt like it was my decision and not some one else's. She was also incredibly annoyed at my brain's refusal to do something I wanted because I was pushed into it.
the daddy story reminds me of the one time my kids dad, my dad and my BF were all helping me pack up my stuff and I said "Hey daddy?" and all three of them immediately responded, "Yes?" I died laughing. the humor of it all brought me back, and to be fair all three of them were also dads but it was funny.
I had a similar close friend who is married but we were close so occasionally he’d call me Honey Well one night they were leaving from a visit he said something then ok honey me and his wife both said ok 👍 lol funny stuff great people still love them ❤ no weird side thing was going on either just fyi . lol
@@smoxthybweh I'm sorry but what was the point of that? What are you trying to achieve? Its certainly not funny and it doesn't add to the conversation in any positive way... so... why? I mean if your intention was to be hurtful, congratulations you did it. Are you proud of yourself? Is being cruel and hurtful really something you wanna be proud of?
Okay confession time. I was 11 or 12 in the 70’s and we had $ e x education classes at school and had a consent form for parents to sign. My mother was in denial that I was a growing young woman and constantly pushed her femininity on me (I was a nothing in her opinion, I wasn’t even allowed to hold my father’s hand - competition? which is ridiculous 😟) and I absolutely knew that she would refuse that I attended the classes and the utter embarrassment that would cause me at school so I forged her signature 😳. Years later I married and had four planned children who have turned into fantastic adults. Thanks Mum (for nothing).
It sounds like she didn’t heal from her own childhood, I have a daughter and none of that sounds normal. She’s a daddy’s girl and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I was lucky to have the parents I did, and first realized that when I was a teenager and visited my friends homes. One had a mother who was vile. She was in competition with her daughter and seduced several of her boyfriends, and this girl had a new boyfriend every week. Her mother said horrible things to her to put her down, telling her she was ugly when she was very beautiful. My friend became promiscuous to feel validated I think. Our friendship ended badly after she set me up to be a victim of a violent crime. I don't know if she is still alive and I couldn't care less. I feel sorry for her upbringing by a malignant narcissist, but it is no excuse for what she did to me as a "prank". It changed my life and not in a good way.
my mum was kinda the same, except she never viewed me as competition. We got a letter to give to our parents to sign if they didn't want us learning about $ex (no signature needed if they were fine with it) and they'd move us to a different class while $ex ed was being taught (it was a health and p.e class so guessing we would've just played sport?). I was 15 at the time. My mum went on a rant when she was snooping through my stuff and found the letter about how they shouldn't be teaching it, how my future husband would teach me all I needed to know and that when I did have kids I had to raise them in the same faith as my family. She made sure I had the signed letter in my bag when I went to school and said she'd be checking I didn't have it in there when I got home. Figured I needed to know about $ex, at least the basics of it, so I took the letter to school, ripped it up and threw it away before going to health class. I was already bullied relentlessly so didn't want to add to it
Honestly some mothers don't deserve the title.... why the fuck she would see you as competition.... when I see shit like this I question really hard this individual morals.... pretty crap "mom"
I called my husband “daddy” once we had kids. A few years ago my now older kids were telling me to stop, because it now means something completely different. It took me awhile to stop calling him “daddy” because I called him that for over 20 years. Charlotte you look really good.
As soon as we had kids and they were old enough to recognise names on the phone, landline at the time with speed dial, I put my husband’s name in as Big Daddy. I showed our wee ones how to get to it if they needed to. They were already well versed on 999. When my hubby got home, I explained what I’d done and told him to do my name/number for them and explain how to find it. A few days later I was scrolling through the phone to find a number and saw he’d put “Hot Mummy” in for me! 😂😂😂😂 That was changed quickly. We still laugh about it 28 years on!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls my husband Daddy/Dad. Ever since we had our son I’ve called him Dad/Daddy. It’s not meant in the sexual/weird way that most adults assume or immaturely think. I know it’s made his mom uncomfortable when she would hear me call him daddy but knowing it made her uncomfortable actually made ME uncomfortable because I thought it was weird that she could only view me calling her SON daddy in a sexual way and not in the innocent way that I mean/meant it. My husband and I tried for a very long time to be able to have a healthy viable pregnancy that would lead to us becoming parents. There were MANY devastating false pregnancy tests and a few miscarriages and MANY months that turned into YEARS of trying to have a baby. So when we were FINALLY pregnant and had our son, of course we were so excited and grateful to finally get to have the title of Mom/mommy and Dad/Daddy. Which is exactly why I call him that. It’s a name we thought he might never get to be called. So even if it does make people uncomfortable I’m not going to stop calling him by the name/title that means the most to him and if weirdo pervs can’t understand that then they’ll just have to deal with it because the only people making it “weird” are those who are too immature to understand how hard we worked and how many tears it took to be able to have that title.
My dad was such a crazy ass. He had 3 daughters and no sons. My parents raised us to not take sh*t and to be very self assured. When my dad met our boyfriends he would say “good luck with my daughter, you’ll need it” 😂
Sounds like my brother's speech at my wedding. 😂 he basically made some sappy speech that sounded like it was for me then said "I'm here for you man". Too bad there wasn't speeches at HIS wedding
@@LadyMekito 😂 that’s funny imma be honest though, I’m really glad my dad never pulled any of that misogynistic dad BS where he acted all tough and threatened every guy who looked at us. He knew who he raised 😂
My dad made it a point to make sure my boyfriends were terrified of me and not him. For the longest time I had no idea why one of my bf's would get nervous any time I had a knife.
My mom‘s signature was literally the most perfect cursive I had ever seen in my life, and still to this day in person. My older brothers taught me to forge my dad signature from the start, because his was just scribbles, so my parents would never know, because my mom‘s literally cannot be re-created. When my mom was diagnosed with dementia in 2018 I had her write out. I love you, girly and signed with mom in her perfect handwriting. By the time she passed last year, her handwriting didn’t look the same. I got that perfect hand writing tattooed on me, and my tattoo artist re-created her handwriting perfectly. It amazed me, and it’s my most cherished tattoo.
That just completely blessed my heart. Thank you. My grandfather passed in 2021, and I was 46. He also had dementia, and would et up from his chair 6-7 times a day to go check on "my wife" (his), who had passed 2 years prior, so we had to tell break it to him 6-7 times a day that she was gone. I'd take his hand and smile and say, "Grandpa, gramma died, but she's up in heaven, and we are going to all be seeing her one day soon." He'd smile, squeeze my hand, and say,"ok." About 2 weeks before he passed, he had that moment of clarity. I took the gift I'd been given, and because his hearing was terrible, I wrote down, "I love you, grandpa!" on a piece of paper, turned on my camera and asked him to read it. For the first time in years, he looked at me and knew who I was. It was a special moment, but it was only about 8 months later that I shared it with my cousins. I had grown up with my grandparents my whole life until then, but my cousins only got holidays once or twice a year. When they saw the video, the amount of gratitude they gave me for just being able to view it made me realize just how special that moment forever would be. My first memory is of him holding me on his shoulder. I'd LOVE to have this tattoo'd somehow on my body, but I know how lucky you and I *BOTH* are to have had the experience. 🙏 😊
I have always been weirded out with calling your lover "daddy". It's so creepy and if a guy I really liked asked me to call him " daddy"... I'm done with the relationship 😂
Same here. When I was single, if a guy wanted to be called "daddy" or called me "mommy," I would get uncomfortable and stop talking to them.I was a single mom at the time so I didn't feel comfortable with a guy calling me "mommy" because only my son called me that.
I've never had any guy that would have liked being called "Daddy", I only called my father that name, and my grandfather was "Granddaddy". Very popular in the South. You know you are in the _deep_ South when all little boys are called "Bubba" and little girls are called "Sissy". Thankfully, my family stopped calling me"Sissy" when a toddler nephew couldn't say my name"Suzanne" so he called me "Zan". I love that nickname! Zan is my favorite character on a sci-fi show called "Farscape". At school my nickname was "Banana" (Suzanna Banana). I graduated over 40 years ago but some former classmates only know me as Banana even now! Southern folks love nicknames. Why I grew up with an Uncle Doodle, Uncle Biff, Aunt DoeDoe, and Aunt Erkie (pronounced like "anarchy" or "Aunt Turkey")
The whole "daddy" thing grosses me out hardcore cause that's what I called my actual father, when he was alive. The very thought of my partner requesting that I call him the same thing I called my *father* makes me want to vomit.
The fact it’s to the point that Daddy is now mostly for kink or whatever over what little kids call their father makes me furious. Keep your kinks in the home.
My daughter met her boyfriend through his mom at work in a hospital. Mom was the unit clerk, son was the cna and my daughter was the hospital dietician. 😊❤they bought a home this year in their 20s.
Dude! When I was 20yrs old and stayed out at a party till 12am my Dad was so angry he told me that he will disown me if I do it again but when my 16 yrs old brother stayed out till 2am my Dad had no reaction! I was so upset, I still bring it up sometimes at family gatherings.
I had a teacher who helped and kinda bullied me without realizing how mean she was, One time in 3rd grade I answered all my math questions with 17 and 54, and when the teacher wanted me to stay after, I snuck out with the other students. She called my mom and my mom was like”well if you helped her through it then she wouldn’t have to guess the answers!” And hung up. The teacher never bullied me again
In first grade my teacher often noticed my dresses that my mother made for me. Mom was very talented at sewing and I always had cute clothes. One day my teacher pinned a note to my dress and told me to make sure my mother reads it (all girls had to wear dresses back then in the 1960s). I was almost in tears when Mom picked me up at school but I gave her the note, thinking I was in big trouble! My teacher wanted to know where she bought the fabric for my dress! She could have told me that and not scared me! I still remember that dress fabric, it was light green dotted Swiss, a cotton fabric with fuzzy raised dots in pink. It was cute! I wonder why I never see that kind of fabric anymore? 😊
i had this with ALL of my elementary school teachers. my mom and i were poor and i went to a school in a pretty affluent area, and the teachers showed their distaste for me. this was also in the 70s. the shit they said to me, would get them sued today. i had one teacher 2nd to last day of school of third grade, asked what each kid was bringing tomorrow for the class party, and as the kids were going down the line saying, he got to me, and said, well, you dont need to tell me, hopefully your mom sends a muzzle. my heart sank, theentire class start hysterically laughing. i thought he was calling me ugly, he told my mom he meant i talk to much. my mom, for all the hell she put me through, id never seen her literally get on her broom and fly to my school so fast. that man was in tears by the time she was done with him and i went to school the next day and barked all day in class. never spoke a single human word. the class started doing it too, so i got them back on my side. it was a day ill never forget. i was an asshole as 8 years old and im so proud of myself. hey MR HILT, I STILL REMEMBER YOU YOU HATEFUL MAN.. he was hateful too, not just a misguided joke, he picked on me relentlessly all year. i went back in 4th grade, and would bark everytime i walked past him in the halls, till i left at the end of 6th. never once said a single human word to him ever again. last day of sixth grade, when i was leaving, i walked past his door, stuck my head in and gave one loud BARK in his classroom, scariing the bejeezus out of him, flipped him off and left. lmao
I forged my mother's signature multiple times for my sister. She was in fourth grade, and I was six years ahead with a considerable talent for copying what I have seen. Sister had a crazy, ancient teacher who required a parental signature every Monday morning. No signature resulted in no recess or other privileges. Sister was a good student. When we eventually told our mother about the forgeries, she was actually glad of it. Mom didn't like the teacher either. 😆
That's funny. When I was in elementary school we had to bring our parents signature in the book we used to write out assignments to prove that our parents knew we had homework and stuff like that. My mom almost never signed it, I would just write all my initials in a very weird way always finishing off with a heart at the end. They never checked.
My dad used to actually sign things DAD and I was accused of forging. I demanded the teacher call him ans confirm. She was stunned that he really did that. Mom signed my stuff from then on 😂😂
Once I sent a note to my son's teacher to explain that he really did his math homework but all he has left is a corner of one page. As he got home from school, his favorite pet pygmy goat pulled his math folder out of his hands and ran away with it. By the time we caught the stinker, there wasn't much left. I took a picture of the goat and the remains of the homework, printed it with an explanation of why Forrest doesn't have his homework. She thought it was funny but she also said if I hadn't made that note she would never have believed that a goat ate his homework.🐐😊
When I was in middle school my mom got so sick of signing 6+ syllabuses for multiple kids that she started signing with silly names, with each subject having similar names, (think Betty Crocker and Little Debbie for science, etc) which is how my sister and I both got called into our orchestra conductors office while he fumed that we had turned in syllabuses signed ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ and ‘Patrick Star’.
There was a local business owner in my hometown who had a long Santa-esque beard, so everyone called him Santa. The bike shop that he owned was even commonly referred to as "Santa's corner." After high school I worked a few years at the local supermarket and thus learnt that Santa's signature was "Santa." At first I thought he was joking but then I put two and two together. He was a very nice man. One day he lost a glove while shopping and the whole supermarket, staff and customers, got involved to find his missing glove.
When I met each of my daughters’s husband I KNEW they were the one. I told hubby, but said nothing to our girls. The eldest said he was “just a friend” and “leaving for the military.” The second daughter was dating a guy we disliked for many reasons…drugs abuse etc and she wasn’t interested in the great guy who was over the moon for her and wouldn’t infringe in any way. Very quickly DD1 figured it out. It took DD2 8ish months. The eldest has been married nearly 6 years and has 2 children. DD2 just married a few months back.
Lol!!!! My hubby and I call each other Mommas and Daddies because that's how we talk around the fur babies. "Go find Daddies. Daddies will feed you soon. Mommas will take you for a walk." We never realized how it sounded until we were around my dad for the holidays. It was awkward but hilarious.
10:43 have to preface: we're German and one of the most typical pet names is "Schatz" (like honey/darling) and jokingly took that further to "Schatzibuu" mostly as a gag and to make the other feel slightly uncomfortable, but at some point (no idea when in those five years) it just stuck xD Now if we want the same effect, we have to take it even further to "Schatzibubibuu" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yea, its screams weird to me too. i called my hub daddy once in public as a joke and we both were so icked out by it we were like nah, its not even funny as a joke, dont do it again lmao. we were at a festival and i wanted a snowcone, it was hot... i was like DADDY BUY ME A SNOWCONE, meaning it like a little kid. but it was just so weird and yuck lol. i got my snowcone tho... and propmtly realized, im too old for that shit as i dripped half of it down my shirt etc lol
The signature story is so funny to me because my mom hated having to sign papers for me (they were mostly reading logs and my mom didnt give a shit about them), so she had me practice her signature so I could sign off on my own papers 😂 I was nine
I was a relatively good kid. When I got grounded, I was 10 and it was a school holiday. I left the house to take a walk about 9AM. I didn't come home until about 6PM. My parents were "worried" about me. I was grounded for a few hours, then I went to them and said if you were so worried why didn't you come looking for me. I was playing in the neighborhood and was always outside. My parents were actually reasonable people. My grounding ended and I was able to watch my TV program Dallas.
The dad who kicked his daughter out sounds like the kind of man who thinks he owns women and want to control their sexuality. I had a boyfriend in the 4th grade, my dad drove us on our dates and stuff. When I was a teenager, a girl at my school got pregnant at 14 and my dad's response was "It happens. It's not the end of the world. If that happened to you, we'd do what was best for your and respect your choices." I think my dad's a pretty cool guy, tbh.
💯 and your dad is just like my parents are.. I did get pregnant at 17 but married him at 18 before we had our daughter. We were divorced 3 years later but we love supportive parents.
I absolutely hate hearing about fathers who behave like this. They couldn't make it clearer that they view their daughters as possessions. It's not done out of care and concern for their daughter's well-being as they so often claim, but out of concern for their own reputation. I understand there are cultural and generational reasons behind it, but it all still equates to the same thing. Daughters are not possessions!
@@haileyranson8255 I don’t think culture or generation excuses that kind of behaviour towards women. If you can’t even look at your own daughter because has a boyfriend, then you are the problem. He should re-educate himself. Respect the individual and their sexual freedoms. ✌️
I myself have been the vival black sheep 🐏🐑 of my family for years now and I'm glad there are people out there who expect people for not just their actions but within for being a uquien person 3:31
My daughter and I both have ADHD and we struggle to keep track of school paperwork and such. We kept forgetting to get her reading log signed so she just started signing it herself when it was time to hand it in. The problem now is, if I need to sign permission slips or whatnot, her teacher will know her reading log is forged. 🤦♀️ Thankfully, the one time she had a behaviour issue they called us instead of sending a note to be signed. We'll get our shit together next school year. 😂
Uhh I hate having to remember to sign those damn reading logs! I still have one for my son I need to find and sign that was supposed to be turned in like a week or two ago. I’ve got adhd too. lol 🤦🏻♀️
I've come across parents being super upset that their grown twenty something daughter might be interested in someone from outside their culture or religion. In every case I've seen it was because the parents were worried that the daughters choice would bring shame upon the parents. Didn't matter if the girl had found the potential love of her life. I've always thought it showed an absolute disrespect for the daughters wishes and it treated the daughters as if they were still small children. Very selfish of the parents.
Unfortunately, a lot of parents treat children like possessions. A child deserves UNCONDITIONAL love, not unrealistic expectations, manipulations, exploitation or domination.
As a parent, one of my fears is that I accidentally push my own ideas of what a happy and successful life looks like for me onto my daughter. I'm so scared of making her feel she has to do a certain thing or live a certain way to make me proud. My parents made my life very difficult by making it clear there was a specific way to make them proud and made me feel like a disappointment for wanting different. I dont actually think they had a full understanding of what they were doing to me emotionally - I think in their minds they were just supporting and guiding me. I dont think they understood they were projecting their vision of life onto me. I think that projection is something a lot of parents do by accident to their children. I try to tell my daughter that the only thing she has to do ever to make me proud is be herself, do her best and be happy. I worry that even saying I want her to be happy may make her feel unable to express feeling depressed or struggling with her emotions if she thinks I need her to be happy. Being a parent is an absolute minefield!
@@haileyranson8255 Unconditional love is what every child needs. The rest is trial and errors. Humans are too complex for a one size fits all solution.
When I was a teenager I learned to forge my mother's signature to such a level of perfection that not even she could distinguish my forgery from the original signature. When she found out about this she seemed confused whether she was mad at me or proud of my skill. 😂
I learned a couple years ago that my dad's youngest cousin (a super awesome though naughty youngster with an overwhelmed, widowed mom and 4 siblings) learned in 2nd grade to use a made up signature for her mom so that there was no way to fact check... 2-12 grade, she signed everything without being caught because of course it'll match - it's her handwriting! RIP Margie. You were so sweet.
same, i signed all the cards and stuff they sent home for parental signature once i hit 7th grade, new school, they didnt know right? lol i spent many 8th grade 2nd period hiding somewhere so i didnt have to go to that class. i dont even remember what class it was but i remember always skipping 2nd period. then my senior year, i only had one class that wasnt an elective or music related, so, i essentially was never at school my senior year. to this day, im unsure how i managed to graduate. alot of summer school is one thing i know. i spent every summer in summer school. probably all those classes i was ditching lol. but i graduated.
I made a signature up for my planner and letters at school, when asked I said it was my dad and they never questioned it, funny how he lived 5 hours away and I saw him twice a year but he still managed to sign my planner weekly 😂 when my mum found out she laughed and said well done because she always used to forget
I received many disciplinary referrals during middle school. Fortunately for me, my dad was an artist. He had a special drawing board with a really bright light perfect for tracing. I would overlap the disciplinary referral over my mother's signature (she would sign weekly completed homework) and light up the board. Tracing a perfect replica of her signature every time. I would make sure to use different signatures from different days to make sure they looked as real as possible. She never found out each week she signed my homework, she was really signing three or four disciplinary referrals also. I NEVER got caught.
Are you an artist too? In High School, I signed my mom's name on everything, even taking legitimate notes and re-writing them. When my brother entered high school I took over rewriting his notes. My mom also worked at the school district central office so I would boldly include the main number of the school district. Oddly, I always got away with it.
I'm 60 yrs old, but I still remember spending HOURS learning to forge my mother's signature. One day they called my mother in to find out if all these signatures were actually things she had signed. Even SHE couldn't tell which ones were her actual signatures & which ones weren't so I got off scott-free! At least as for as the school was concerned. Unfortunately, my mother KNEW I shouldn't have had that many absence letters, so yeah.....I still got grounded, but at least I didn't get kicked out of school! Good times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
my mexican parents told me if i had time for a boy friend i had time for a SECOND JOB. i was a full time college student, already working part time and they drove me to interviews to get another job at 19. i moved out a few months later with my boyfriend- been together for 5years and married for 3years
My parents actively encouraged me to forge their signatures from age 8 so they didn't have to bother reading and signing anything from school. My school made parents read and sign our homework diary weekly where the teacher would usually also leave a note about our work that week. My parents couldn't be bothered to read it so got me to just sign for them. Then again, I was a good kid so I didn't even use this to my advantage 😅
I can one up the signature thing. In high school my dad caught me practicing my TEACHERS’ signatures. Not just one but ALL of them. I was supposed to bring home a progress report signed by all of them each week stating I had done my homework and, more importantly was in class every day. (Yeah, I was slacking off big time) He never said a word, just took the paper and walked away. I was a wreck and, needless to say, my grades went up and I had perfect attendance for the rest of the year.
Honestly, the reason for me why parents playing matchmaker give me the ick is because it has this gross-feeling, underlying expectation to have grandkids. No time to naturally give the relationship space and time to grow, just, "See? Don't you two like each other? *Love* each other? Good, good. Now, when's the wedding, I expect an invitation and babies by the end of that year." Everything ends up feeling rushed, forced, and like you have no space or privacy to really get to know your partner intimately.
I had 2 different teachers in elementary school think I had forged my dad's signature because his handwriting is so messy. (He's a nurse, and I firmly believe everyone in healthcare has illegible handwriting to avoid legal liability, but I digress...😀) Both called my dad to tell him about what I did, only for him to confirm it was his signature. One of the teachers even responded back with, "There's no way a grown adult with an education had handwriting this bad!" It even went to the principal, who said that my mom (who has perfect handwriting) should sign everything, because, unlike dad, mom's could never be confused with a "sloppy child." My dad was furious! But I got an apology from that teacher for accusing me, so one good thing, lol.
Can confirm getting called mommy by your boyfriend hits entirely different. Whenever I pay he pulls out the joking “thanks sugar mommy” and it will never get less weird
I never did anything to avoid being grounded but when my cousin and I were 11 , we got the brilliant idea to walk 10 miles to Burger King to get the iron on patches they were giving away. Never told our parents. Then got the brilliant idea to cut 8 miles off our return trip by crossing the 6 lane Trans Canada highway. We got home after about 2 hrs. Our Dads were just heading out to look for us. Parents were all seriously pissed , took our patches and threw them away and cancelled our sleepover
I went on a blind date once. He seemed nice, not really my type, but, I decided to just enjoy the date and see where it went. In the FIRST FIVE MINUTES he mentioned pet names and that he needed to think ove one for me😨 I shot a panicked smile and said, ''Call me Ishmael.'' He actually started calling me Ishmael. I thought he was joking but he did it through the entire date. That was the first and last date but my friends starting calling me Ishmael for awhile after hearing that story 🙄😆
Charlotte Dobre, this video is hilarious, as always! I wanted to let you know that as I am, yet again, laid up for an extended period due to my declining health; I have been binge watching all of your older videos to lift my spirits and to do my small part in supporting you by increasing my watch time as you scale back. I am really, really proud of you for making the decision to better yourself by cutting back for your mental health, and whatever you may have going on behind the scenes. You have been here for all of us throughout the years. I deeply appreciate you for it, from the bottom of my heart. I hope you are doing well, my dear. I'm sending you my love.
OMG I have a 3rd grade forgery story! I was in what was basically remedial reading because while I could read on a 5th grade level, I was AWFUL at reading comprehension. I once forgot to get my mom to sign my remedial reading log so I PRINTED my mom’s name in ORANGE GLITTER PEN and turned it in. Mom was so mad until she basically realized I had no idea what forgery was and had to explain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My husband and I went through a period of trying to come up with the weirdest pet names we could for each other. It started with babe, then babe-arino, babarooski, babbles, and on and on. Now ten years in we just say bb 😂
My first (and really only) love and I used to come up with silly names to use in public just to be weird. Stuff like Pooky Dook, my little "Bubble Puppy", bunny-butt, and whatever nonsense popped in our heads! I miss those days.😢
How about if you call each other "blobby" or "blobette"? My old boyfriend used to give me various oddball nicknames, it was funny. Your Starbucks order will never go to the wrong person.
The trick my sister and i learned is you START the year with a forged signature so it always looks the same 😅 We would sign each other's stuff with our parents names 100% of the time. 😂
My parents were immigrants and I was born after they settled down in the UK. Since neither of them spoke English, I was in charge of signing everything for them lol. I didn't even think anything of it, it was just normal for me and I figured that if my parents told me to sign their names for them, it was ok. This included school permission forms and notes. I don't remember how old I was, but one day we were getting vaccines at school. As usual, I had my mum's permission to sign the permission slip for her so I could get my vaccine. Someone finally realised that something was wrong, a nurse came to me and asked me if I had signed it. I said yes so they had to explain to me why I wasn't allowed to do it lol. I had to call my mum and have her come to the school to sign herself. She didn't know how to sign her name in English because I guess she hardly ever had to do it. She signed everything herself after that, but she was rather annoyed about it at first lol.
Both of my parents have better cursive handwriting than me 😂🤣 I once cheated on a Science/Biology test in high school and received the highest score. The teacher pulled me aside after class and asked, “Aimee, did you cheat on this test?” I replied “Yes I did” and we both started laughing. 😂 I guess she was surprised I quickly admitted my wrongdoing. She informed me I would have to take the quiz again. (lower score) After that funny exchange, that teacher treated me differently in a positive manner the rest of the year.
@@darlingdeb7010 It’s so true, the lie is worse IMHO. I recently ghosted someone who lied to my face too many times and I explained that the lie is more hurtful. Friendships rest on trust and honesty. He lied once again to my face so that was it. I acted as if nothing was wrong and then blocked him on all platforms. It’s insulting and childish behavior. Life is too short to spend time with someone who’s not honest with himself or you.
God, I forged my moms signature for school all the time. I was sick of being yelled at all the time. Yelled at by teachers for not having done my homework and then going home with a note and getting yelled at by my parents. This happened often and as an adult I found out I had undiagnosed adhd and autism my whole life, so that’s late proof that school was hard for me. Anyways, I decided to never have to give my mom another note to sign, ever again. So I practiced her signature. I practiced and practiced. Everyday. Until I felt I had mastered it. And oh god I had. I had mastered my moms scribbled 7 lettered signature and after that day, I signed every single note and nobody ever figured it out. I was so proud of myself.
I was driving and listening along, and let me tell you when you got to the part where she had signed the letter “Mom” I about had to pull over!! 🤣🤣 Thank you for choosing to share that one because man did I need that belly laugh!
Calling a boyfriend/husband/SO "Daddy" is the unsexiest thing ever. If I say that word, I immediately think of my actual Daddy, and everything just... dries up. 😂😂😂
Agree, I think of a pimp or really older man in the relationship that takes the place of her father. Either way I think it is weird to call a SO mommy or daddy.
My best friend and I were sleeping in my room (both 21), she is completely straight and we both had boyfriends, and I guess we were cuddling cuz we were cold. My mom asked me if we were lesbians 😂😂😂
@@queenbee137parents are weird. And I’m a parent. But honestly, even if you WERE… I personally would’ve waited for you to come to me. But it really shouldn’t even be a conversation in 2024. Lol love is love.
Practiced Dad’s signature & once perfected, I showed it to him! His eyes bugged & the look on his face was priceless. He never signed anything school related but maybe someday the checkbook? 🤭🤭🤭
Unfortunate flex here. I was a stellar student until middle school when both my social skills and academic drive fell apart. I also got repeated letters and progress reports sent home. The first really bad one resulted in a 9 week restriction (our grading period at that school). When I had finally gotten off restriction, another letter was sent home. It was at this time, I saw my dad signing the household bills. Even though I’m female, my dad and I have similar names and as it turns out, similar signatures.😂. I couldn’t keep it all from them but a fair number of ugly conversations were avoided because I could do my dad’s signature like it was my own.
I ran away. I packed a bag, got dressed for the winter weather, packed some food and was going to take a bus to my best friends house. I was done!!!! The problem? I was 10, and it was like 11:30pm. There was no buses coming, and the bus stop was at the corner of my own yard. Lol my mom has a picture of me sitting on my suitcase and waiting in the snow at night under the street lamp, somewhere. Lol my grandma came and got me and I got a nice break from my mom and I’m sure she got a WONDERFUL break from me. 😂
I did something similar when I was about 10. I got mad at my parents for whatever reason, packed a bag, and wrote them a note saying I was now going to be living in our detached garage. Only I spelled it "garge". I could hear their howls of laughter outside in the garge. 😊
Lol, this first one sounds like an early adult romance novel in the making!!!!! Or a hallmark movie!!!!!!! Everyone will make up for the holidays and all will be forgiven lol.
My husband has called me "mama" for years. It stems from like the cat call, hey sweet mama, or something similar, but I am also a mother. He always called me mama so his entire softball teams (he played 3 different seasons each year) ended up calling me mama. In 7th grade I had to have something signed. I forgot the day before so I had to wake my mom up (she worked at an aluminum factory) on my way out to get the bus, for her to sign the paper. The freaking school accused me of forging her signature! That isnt her signature, they kept saying to me, the teacher & principal! My mom had to come into the school & rip them a new one for them to leave me alone. I still think they thought I signed it & she was just covering for me. I mean, if you are half asleep in the dark, you signature is not going to be perfect.
First story reminds me how my parents got together. Both their mam's went to the same weight loss center, they got talking and one week brought my mam and dad in. Dated, married, had 2 girls then divorced when I was about 8/9. Signitures: At my school we had special weekly school planners that had to be signed every week to say a parent had seen what we got up to (hw assignments got and done, merits/demerits and detentions etc) it got looked at by our tutors (homeroom teachers I think in the US) every week. My mam worked a lot where I barely saw her and thankfully she had the simplest sig ever. Never got caught. Only think she knew about was the 3 detentions I got in 5 years in secondary school.
The dad kicking his own daughter out because she had a boyfriend (who she even ended up marrying) is heart breaking. Horrible parent. I don't know how the mom or siblings would ever want a relationship with him after that now knowing how evil he is
Yeah that’s just some toxic old world patriarchy - it isn’t cute or funny. It looks slightly different from different cultures etc but it’s gross no matter the flavor. Lots of men are incapable of loving their daughters past puberty and that’s fucking gross.
Like I get that its a cultural difference being Indian but were they expecting an arranged marriage? The I-must-decide-my-childs-entire-future type of parents are scary. Im mixed Japanese and so thankful my moms family was way more relaxed.
@@nursesophie5254 There’s also such a thing as “purity rings” here in the US dad’s give their daughters to ensure their virginity. As I said above - patriarchy can result in all sorts of really gross products but I think bringing up honor killings is pretty white western thing to chime in with when discussing ANY brown parent being a shitty patriarchal dad.
The thing is, I know plenty of Indian women who wouldn’t have been kicked out if they had a boyfriend. Would their dads love it? No. But they wouldn’t have been so dramatic about it. This guy was over the top.
My Dad calls my mother Mama in front of everyone. In fact, in some places in my area, it's normal to call women you don't even know Mama or Ma. And my Dad said there's nothing wrong with calling your boyfriend or husband Daddy because words have different meanings depending on the context. Heck, he even said you should probably call your husband Daddy in front of your children, similar to how they do in Japan, although they usually say the equivalent to Father. But I could be wrong on that one.
Families do collectively call eachother by their relation to the youngest generation in the family in Japan. Everyone calls grandparents and parents that way, then elder siblings get called big-sis or big-brother once a younger sibling comes along. Doesn't happen unless you have kids, though. As for what each family calls members, it differs. Some say O-tou-san, which is between Father and Daddy in formality. Some use Papa, which is between Da-da and Daddy. More informal masculine speech could use Oyaji, similar to Pops or The Old Man. Regional variations exist.
I honestly thought it was normal for Mom to call Dad Dad, and Dad to call Mom Mom, in front of their children. My mom and dad did that shit all the time. Lol
Yeah…but the context is different with how they're using in the video, hence why it's agonizing. There's a lot of sexual undertones, and it's usually interpreted as a "daddy issues" thing. Especially with how it's been recently. So you're not wrong, but like, keep in mind the cultural context. Because it does absolutely change a lot of things.
You are talking about a different language and culture where the terms for mother/father are more synonymous with "ma'am/sir". In the western world, parents calling each other "mom/dad" makes sense because the parents taught their children how to talk and it's confusing for Mom to have multiple names. The habit sticks even after the children understand that "mom/dad" is a title, not a name. But when you are talking about a boyfriend and girlfriend that haven't been together that long and have no children, it's a sexual thing. And it's seriously awkward and gross to slip into your sexual nickname for your boyfriend in front of your parents. Personally, I take words literally enough that the thought of calling my significant other "daddy" or "babe" is seriously ick because it sounds incestuous. "Daddy" is my father. "Babe" or "baby" is a child. I don't care that those terms have taken on different meanings in our culture. It's icky.
Wow, I was listening to a song and just as I read your comment, the lyrics of the song said, "Love is Hope without doubt, Hate is fear turned out." That must be my message from the universe today, because I am so afraid right now I don't know what I am going to do. Hope is all I have.
Bruh, the amount of times I forged my parent’s signatures… Forging my dad’s signature for band every week - to show the teacher we practiced during the week, which I never did because I hated it - made me a pro forger by the end of 6th grade.
I met my bf at my aunts house during a sort of, well, divorce party for her (very toxic relationship). Then again on New Years, we got paired up and did the whole "New Years kiss" deal. It was cute and really sweet, and we ended up talking non-stop until two weeks later we started dating. A year later, my aunt consistently and annoyingly takes credit for being "the only reason" the two of us got together.
Funny story. My son and his little neighborhood buddy about 2 yrs ago (they were around 8-9 yrs old) decided to take a neighbor's riding lawnmower for a joyride and drove it into a ditch. They then threw the keys and ran like Hell... the thing is, it was all caught on Doorbell cameras. So, the neighbor who owns the riding mower came knocking on the door to tell me what happened. I had a looooong chat with my son about how he needs to assume that EVERYTHING he does nowadays could potentially be caught on somebody's phone or camera, and he needs to think long and hard before choosing to do something that might not be a good idea. A day or so later, neighbor tells me that the keys are lost and he can't find them, so I sent my son over to his house, in the dark, with a flashlight to go find where the keys were thrown in their haste to leave the crime scene. My son and his buddy were grounded from hanging with each other without supervision for the rest of the summer, and have only just now started hanging out with each other again.
Confession time - I'm still lying to my mother about ditching an assembly, where I was awarded for good attendance. The irony. I told her I didn't know it was mandatory. She fought like hell for me and even took me on the end of year field trip herself, since the incident disqualified me. It's been 15 years, and I still lie about it when it comes up XD
@@finneganfox6470 They were but they were more upset with their kids ruining something they've expected for a long time (them to be a couple, since they were not in good terms when they found out).
My mom had a very pretty signature and writing - she was very focused on my handwriting be pretty too. It meant that I was able to forge her signature from a very early age together with excuses from this and that in my school life. Neither parent was interested in my school or me for that matter do it was never revealed despite me having a lot of missed classes from having work hours during school time, having a day at home to finish a big assignment I forgot about or just feeling a bit under the weather. It was quite a reveal as a grown up. They almost did not believe me since I still did well in school and was a hard worker.
It's fun to know that someone else's parents are too good at hiding things to the point that they hide them too well and end up losing them. It's happened numerous times. My parent once hid a big bag of Lindt chocolate and then forgot where they were. They found them several months later in the middle of August, all melted. 😇🤷🏼♀️😇
I constantly bought things for my kids and hid them, then had no idea where they were when I needed them. There would be conversations that went something like, I got you the cutest thing for Valentine's day but I have no idea where I hid it! After my kids moved out and I decided to downsize, I found everything when I was packing the house! I gave them all the gifts and they got such a kick out of it. You'd think I would have learned something, but I still hide things. And then I can't find them when I need them. I guess when I'm dead and they're cleaning out the house, they'll find something and say, oh this must have been a valentine present for one of us!
20 yrs or so ago I was dating a guy and my mother thought she would try and set me up with someone else even though I was going out on a date. The restaurant worker showed up to take me out . How thoughtful of my mother to embarrass him. I felt bad but like I told my mother I'm not attracted to him but she insisted and surprise he shows up at my house
The lack of boundaries your mom displayed is astounding. I know you said it was 20 yrs ago, but to be giving your home address out to someone who's interested in you that you're not into... that's a no from me.
Forged my mother's signature on my spelling test book a bunch as a kid as i never remembered to ask when i got home. I did remember one evening and presented the book to her to sign, and she stared at it, asking who had signed her name. I swore up and doen she had as my dad was also there and and my life hung in the balance. Couldn't convince either of them and finally fessed up. She was so astounded at how well i had down her signature all she could was laugh. I totally missed a career calling.
I was never fully grounded but my mom would take my entertainments away. No friends after school, no computer after school, no tv after school, etc. The more I talked back the stricter it got and I knew that if I pushed any longer I'd lose my books which was my number one back then but I never let them know that reading was my favorite or that would be the first, not the last thing to go. If I had tea or a soda and my reading material and music I was fine.
Not me screaming "Baby" at the women calling her bf daddy in front of her family 😂 Babe isnt close enough, you COMMIT and slur the b to a slight d and say baby in reference to him from now on in front of your family lmao 😅
I did a very similar thing with the late slip signing. I forged my dad's name, but when my teacher asked if I had gotten it signed, I panicked thinking she knew and admitted the whole thing, so got in way more trouble. Also turned out that I spelled my dad's name wrong, but it probably wouldn't have been noticed if I hadn't said anything 🙃
Oh, so many stories from my childhood. I grew up across the lake from you (NF, NY). We would always climb down the gorge in summer and swim in the lower river. For those not familiar with the area, there is a whirlpool towards the end of the lower river before it hits Lake Ontario. There is also a very strong undertow between the base of the falls and the lake. Basically, we should absolutely not have been in that water. I had the perfect, foolproof plan. I told my mom that we went swimming in my friends pool. She said, "The pool smells like chlorine, not dead fish!" Yes, the lower river does have a very fishy smell to the water. I was grounded for the rest of the summer.
I think calling your other,"mommy or daddy" sounds sick. I don't know why people do that. The LAST thing I want to think about when we're intimate is mommy or daddy! Yuck! I can't get down with that.
I call my husband "bébé". We've been together so long that I no longer call him by his first name. Well, we have a daughter. She was asked by her teacher what her parents names were in case of emergency, and she responded with: "Brooke and Bebe". When the teacher informed me I couldn't stop laughing! It's now a funny joke with my family, so everyone, including my parents, will sometimes call him "Bebe." ^-^
The forging signature 😂😂😂 I definitely did that too 😂😂😂 weird Indo thing, we have a "connection book", it's a book of notifications about the kid's day and homeworks or projects the kid need to prepare or do. We have to give it to our parents everyday so they would know the school activities and such, and they have to sign on it everyday and the home class teacher have to check the book everyday before school ended and they also put their signature there too. My papa has the easiest signature ever so I used his 😂😂😂
7:53 Since when are we laughing lightly at parents kicking their daughters out of the house for dating someone? That's a horrible father and anybody coming up with the "culture" excuse can shove it up there.
When I was in middle school, I skipped school with a group of friends to go find a friend that had run away from home. Needless to say, my mom is very upset when she got a call saying I wasn’t at school and I was grounded for two weeks. Once she calmed down though she came to ask when actually was going on because it wasn’t like me to do something like that. I told her the whole story and she said well you’re still grounded for not telling me but if you had just called me to tell me what was going on; I would’ve given you the excuse to not be at school. Was never grounded again; lesson learned. Mom’s just need to be in the know. 😅
if any of my kid's friends ran away, and they told me, you had better believe that I would be out there organizing a search party with them and everyone in the area.
My other half calls me pumpkin, and I call him goofy as he can make me laugh by being an idiot no matter how I'm feeling. I also love Charlotte's reaction to the 8 year difference. We have an 12 year gap me being 29 him being 41. Love that man to pieces
I would have died laughing if while Charlotte was yelling 'DADDY!', Mike poked his head in and be all '...yeeeees?' 😆
I'm dead reading this comment😂
😂😂😂
😅❤ yes that would have been hilarious
🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing!!!!!
My pet name for my boyfriend is “Pogi” which is Filipino for “Handsome”.
This Christmas at his parents house I called him “Pogi” in front of his Filipino mom and she turned to me “what did you say?” She asked kindly and I told her “I called him Pogi, it’s my nickname for him and he is Pogi.”
She got a bright look on her face obviously approving of the nickname and I think finding it sweet that I use their culture to respect her son. That Christmas the first time she referred to me as “sweetie” when asking me if I needed help.
The first term of endearment I’ve received from her. I do feel like it was a blessing for her to hear me call her son a kind name in her native language.
Update June 16 2024 - From Boyfriend to Fiancé!
That’s so sweet. 🥹I’m assuming you aren’t Filipino? I’m sure his mom really did love that you’re embracing their culture instead of trying to erase/ignore it. It probably meant a lot to her. Best of luck!
This is precious! I'm glad his mom likes you and I predict that she will be seeing you as a daughter in law if she isn't already. If you like to cook, it might be fun to learn how to cook favorite Filipino foods from her. I wish you every happiness!
This was so cute!!!!! Oh my heart!! I call my husband beautiful. Or my heart. Those are my nicknames. You two are just beautiful. ❤❤❤
Oh, that's so nice! At first I thought the story was going to be that Pogi actually means Daddy in Filipino, but you didn't know, ha ha.
@@stevnatedHahah same 😂
Charlotte you don't understand, my husband calls me, his wife, Daddy. One time he called me Daddy in front of my dad, and my dad looked at him and said "You kids today" 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂❤
WAIT WAIT WHAT
@@CharlotteDobre My husband refers to me as daddy 🤣 it started as a joke but now he won't stop 😭
"You kids today" took me out 😂😂
Lol my sister calls her husband “Daddy”, that phrase as always creeped me out, the ick if you will.
Every time she says it, I repeat what she says but say “FAAATHA” like Darth Vader 😂😂😂 I die laughing
You are a legend that's hilarious
I do that but only since we had kids and my eldest calls him daddy so I started to do it too do that my kids don't go around calling him by his first name all the time (which always seems to happen with other there)... their dad calls me mummy in front if the kids as well but when they are in bed we go back to our names
Ick! He’s not my father, he’s my husband & he’s not allowed to call me “old lady”, Mother/Mommy and definitely not “babe”. All my kids call their father Dad.
@@strivingtoonedaybeuseful6049 this I can understand. Just don’t be like my in laws deep into their 50’s calling each other mom and dad when the kids have left the house 😂
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi I remember when my kids were little, and even now occasionally, I called them babe/baby. So it would creep me out if I dated a guy who would say that. No, pick another pet name, cuz that ain’t it
First story: honestly, the fact that the moms gossiped and got into a friendship ending fight over their two kids proves exactly why they didn’t want their moms to know. They would have been involved to an unhealthy degree if they did know, the fact that they ended their friendship over made up drama is hilarious
Yep, couldn't have been that good of a friendship.
honestly pretty shitty of OP and gf to do all of this over pride, and weren't they just feeding them lies? its was funny until it wasn't, but who the hell cares?
@@b00ksrb3tt3rthanpplExactly. To be fair those moms were tricked and it's sad and pathetic their kids ruined a friendship over lies🤷🏽♀️
@@b00ksrb3tt3rthanpplnah if they did tell the mothers it would not have ended on “just start dating”, they would have started insisting on getting married, having children, where to live, what school to send them to, what extracurriculars to have, what job to aim for, who the kids should date etc etc. it would go on and on.
They would have gotten over involved in how the dude would propose, in how the wedding should go. These two mothers seem the type to go too far just from how much they were trying to pair their children together like dolls instead of human beings.
Better to have them end the friendship and stop their meddling than to let it go on for their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
These mothers only saw their children as toys
@@b00ksrb3tt3rthanppl for a lot of people being PUSHED into things, really bothers their brain. My (now wife) sat me down. Told me she understands my mother has been pressuring me to propose to her. (I hate being told what to do). After she sat me down and told me she just wants to be with me and she doesn't care if we're married. No one else's opinion matter. I asked her to marry me IMMEDIATELY after that.
She was so happy I felt like it was my decision and not some one else's. She was also incredibly annoyed at my brain's refusal to do something I wanted because I was pushed into it.
the daddy story reminds me of the one time my kids dad, my dad and my BF were all helping me pack up my stuff and I said "Hey daddy?" and all three of them immediately responded, "Yes?" I died laughing. the humor of it all brought me back, and to be fair all three of them were also dads but it was funny.
Wow, so many daddies.
I had a similar close friend who is married but we were close so occasionally he’d call me Honey Well one night they were leaving from a visit he said something then ok honey me and his wife both said ok 👍 lol funny stuff great people still love them ❤ no weird side thing was going on either just fyi . lol

@@smoxthybweh I'm sorry but what was the point of that? What are you trying to achieve? Its certainly not funny and it doesn't add to the conversation in any positive way... so... why?
I mean if your intention was to be hurtful, congratulations you did it. Are you proud of yourself? Is being cruel and hurtful really something you wanna be proud of?
Okay confession time. I was 11 or 12 in the 70’s and we had $ e x education classes at school and had a consent form for parents to sign. My mother was in denial that I was a growing young woman and constantly pushed her femininity on me (I was a nothing in her opinion, I wasn’t even allowed to hold my father’s hand - competition? which is ridiculous 😟) and I absolutely knew that she would refuse that I attended the classes and the utter embarrassment that would cause me at school so I forged her signature 😳. Years later I married and had four planned children who have turned into fantastic adults. Thanks Mum (for nothing).
It sounds like she didn’t heal from her own childhood, I have a daughter and none of that sounds normal. She’s a daddy’s girl and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Good for you babes. It’s so important to be educated on something as serious as $ex, especially for young women. I’m glad you got your class.
I was lucky to have the parents I did, and first realized that when I was a teenager and visited my friends homes. One had a mother who was vile. She was in competition with her daughter and seduced several of her boyfriends, and this girl had a new boyfriend every week.
Her mother said horrible things to her to put her down, telling her she was ugly when she was very beautiful. My friend became promiscuous to feel validated I think.
Our friendship ended badly after she set me up to be a victim of a violent crime. I don't know if she is still alive and I couldn't care less.
I feel sorry for her upbringing by a malignant narcissist, but it is no excuse for what she did to me as a "prank". It changed my life and not in a good way.
my mum was kinda the same, except she never viewed me as competition. We got a letter to give to our parents to sign if they didn't want us learning about $ex (no signature needed if they were fine with it) and they'd move us to a different class while $ex ed was being taught (it was a health and p.e class so guessing we would've just played sport?). I was 15 at the time. My mum went on a rant when she was snooping through my stuff and found the letter about how they shouldn't be teaching it, how my future husband would teach me all I needed to know and that when I did have kids I had to raise them in the same faith as my family. She made sure I had the signed letter in my bag when I went to school and said she'd be checking I didn't have it in there when I got home. Figured I needed to know about $ex, at least the basics of it, so I took the letter to school, ripped it up and threw it away before going to health class. I was already bullied relentlessly so didn't want to add to it
Honestly some mothers don't deserve the title.... why the fuck she would see you as competition.... when I see shit like this I question really hard this individual morals.... pretty crap "mom"
I called my husband “daddy” once we had kids. A few years ago my now older kids were telling me to stop, because it now means something completely different. It took me awhile to stop calling him “daddy” because I called him that for over 20 years.
Charlotte you look really good.
As soon as we had kids and they were old enough to recognise names on the phone, landline at the time with speed dial, I put my husband’s name in as Big Daddy. I showed our wee ones how to get to it if they needed to. They were already well versed on 999. When my hubby got home, I explained what I’d done and told him to do my name/number for them and explain how to find it. A few days later I was scrolling through the phone to find a number and saw he’d put “Hot Mummy” in for me! 😂😂😂😂 That was changed quickly. We still laugh about it 28 years on!
@@Sorchia56 That is a great story!😂😂😂
😊😊😊
I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls my husband Daddy/Dad. Ever since we had our son I’ve called him Dad/Daddy. It’s not meant in the sexual/weird way that most adults assume or immaturely think. I know it’s made his mom uncomfortable when she would hear me call him daddy but knowing it made her uncomfortable actually made ME uncomfortable because I thought it was weird that she could only view me calling her SON daddy in a sexual way and not in the innocent way that I mean/meant it. My husband and I tried for a very long time to be able to have a healthy viable pregnancy that would lead to us becoming parents. There were MANY devastating false pregnancy tests and a few miscarriages and MANY months that turned into YEARS of trying to have a baby. So when we were FINALLY pregnant and had our son, of course we were so excited and grateful to finally get to have the title of Mom/mommy and Dad/Daddy. Which is exactly why I call him that. It’s a name we thought he might never get to be called. So even if it does make people uncomfortable I’m not going to stop calling him by the name/title that means the most to him and if weirdo pervs can’t understand that then they’ll just have to deal with it because the only people making it “weird” are those who are too immature to understand how hard we worked and how many tears it took to be able to have that title.
@@echovanhorn813I agree. ❤ I call my husband the same thing. Oh, and congratulations mama!!!
My dad was such a crazy ass. He had 3 daughters and no sons. My parents raised us to not take sh*t and to be very self assured. When my dad met our boyfriends he would say “good luck with my daughter, you’ll need it” 😂
Sounds like something my grandfather would say they have there hands full dealing with me😂😂😂
Sounds like my brother's speech at my wedding. 😂 he basically made some sappy speech that sounded like it was for me then said "I'm here for you man". Too bad there wasn't speeches at HIS wedding
@@LadyMekito 😂 that’s funny
imma be honest though, I’m really glad my dad never pulled any of that misogynistic dad BS where he acted all tough and threatened every guy who looked at us. He knew who he raised 😂
My dad made it a point to make sure my boyfriends were terrified of me and not him.
For the longest time I had no idea why one of my bf's would get nervous any time I had a knife.
@@airydin5028 Your Dad was having too much fun🤣
My mom‘s signature was literally the most perfect cursive I had ever seen in my life, and still to this day in person. My older brothers taught me to forge my dad signature from the start, because his was just scribbles, so my parents would never know, because my mom‘s literally cannot be re-created. When my mom was diagnosed with dementia in 2018 I had her write out. I love you, girly and signed with mom in her perfect handwriting. By the time she passed last year, her handwriting didn’t look the same. I got that perfect hand writing tattooed on me, and my tattoo artist re-created her handwriting perfectly. It amazed me, and it’s my most cherished tattoo.
That just completely blessed my heart. Thank you. My grandfather passed in 2021, and I was 46. He also had dementia, and would et up from his chair 6-7 times a day to go check on "my wife" (his), who had passed 2 years prior, so we had to tell break it to him 6-7 times a day that she was gone. I'd take his hand and smile and say, "Grandpa, gramma died, but she's up in heaven, and we are going to all be seeing her one day soon." He'd smile, squeeze my hand, and say,"ok." About 2 weeks before he passed, he had that moment of clarity. I took the gift I'd been given, and because his hearing was terrible, I wrote down, "I love you, grandpa!" on a piece of paper, turned on my camera and asked him to read it. For the first time in years, he looked at me and knew who I was. It was a special moment, but it was only about 8 months later that I shared it with my cousins. I had grown up with my grandparents my whole life until then, but my cousins only got holidays once or twice a year. When they saw the video, the amount of gratitude they gave me for just being able to view it made me realize just how special that moment forever would be. My first memory is of him holding me on his shoulder. I'd LOVE to have this tattoo'd somehow on my body, but I know how lucky you and I *BOTH* are to have had the experience. 🙏 😊
I have always been weirded out with calling your lover "daddy". It's so creepy and if a guy I really liked asked me to call him " daddy"... I'm done with the relationship 😂
Same here. When I was single, if a guy wanted to be called "daddy" or called me "mommy," I would get uncomfortable and stop talking to them.I was a single mom at the time so I didn't feel comfortable with a guy calling me "mommy" because only my son called me that.
Oh God ditto!!!!
Same.
Yeah the ick is real hell no I ain't calling him daddy no way no how
I've never had any guy that would have liked being called "Daddy", I only called my father that name, and my grandfather was "Granddaddy". Very popular in the South.
You know you are in the _deep_ South when all little boys are called "Bubba" and little girls are called "Sissy".
Thankfully, my family stopped calling me"Sissy" when a toddler nephew couldn't say my name"Suzanne" so he called me "Zan". I love that nickname! Zan is my favorite character on a sci-fi show called "Farscape".
At school my nickname was "Banana" (Suzanna Banana). I graduated over 40 years ago but some former classmates only know me as Banana even now!
Southern folks love nicknames. Why I grew up with an Uncle Doodle, Uncle Biff, Aunt DoeDoe, and Aunt Erkie (pronounced like "anarchy" or "Aunt Turkey")
“I’m pretty sure your mom’s name isn’t mom” I snort laughed out load at that and had to pause. Such a relatable kid move. ❤😂❤
The whole "daddy" thing grosses me out hardcore cause that's what I called my actual father, when he was alive. The very thought of my partner requesting that I call him the same thing I called my *father* makes me want to vomit.
Yea. If my partner wanted me to call him daddy I would straight up refuse.
Yes I'm so glad my bf also thinks it's weird. IT IS. Anyone trying to normalize it IS WEIRD. That's like incest behavior
The fact it’s to the point that Daddy is now mostly for kink or whatever over what little kids call their father makes me furious. Keep your kinks in the home.
I've always had an issue with it. I don't think I've ever called my actual father "Daddy" but the whole idea is so disgusting to me
I agree. 🤢🤮 I’m pretty sure there are spicier names to call a spouse. What’s worse is that he’s almost 10 years older than her.
My daughter met her boyfriend through his mom at work in a hospital. Mom was the unit clerk, son was the cna and my daughter was the hospital dietician. 😊❤they bought a home this year in their 20s.
Dude! When I was 20yrs old and stayed out at a party till 12am my Dad was so angry he told me that he will disown me if I do it again but when my 16 yrs old brother stayed out till 2am my Dad had no reaction! I was so upset, I still bring it up sometimes at family gatherings.
Man sexism goes hard. It's such fundamental disrespect.
I had a teacher who helped and kinda bullied me without realizing how mean she was, One time in 3rd grade I answered all my math questions with 17 and 54, and when the teacher wanted me to stay after, I snuck out with the other students. She called my mom and my mom was like”well if you helped her through it then she wouldn’t have to guess the answers!” And hung up. The teacher never bullied me again
In first grade my teacher often noticed my dresses that my mother made for me. Mom was very talented at sewing and I always had cute clothes.
One day my teacher pinned a note to my dress and told me to make sure my mother reads it (all girls had to wear dresses back then in the 1960s).
I was almost in tears when Mom picked me up at school but I gave her the note, thinking I was in big trouble!
My teacher wanted to know where she bought the fabric for my dress! She could have told me that and not scared me!
I still remember that dress fabric, it was light green dotted Swiss, a cotton fabric with fuzzy raised dots in pink. It was cute! I wonder why I never see that kind of fabric anymore? 😊
i had this with ALL of my elementary school teachers. my mom and i were poor and i went to a school in a pretty affluent area, and the teachers showed their distaste for me. this was also in the 70s. the shit they said to me, would get them sued today. i had one teacher 2nd to last day of school of third grade, asked what each kid was bringing tomorrow for the class party, and as the kids were going down the line saying, he got to me, and said, well, you dont need to tell me, hopefully your mom sends a muzzle. my heart sank, theentire class start hysterically laughing. i thought he was calling me ugly, he told my mom he meant i talk to much. my mom, for all the hell she put me through, id never seen her literally get on her broom and fly to my school so fast. that man was in tears by the time she was done with him and i went to school the next day and barked all day in class. never spoke a single human word. the class started doing it too, so i got them back on my side. it was a day ill never forget. i was an asshole as 8 years old and im so proud of myself. hey MR HILT, I STILL REMEMBER YOU YOU HATEFUL MAN.. he was hateful too, not just a misguided joke, he picked on me relentlessly all year. i went back in 4th grade, and would bark everytime i walked past him in the halls, till i left at the end of 6th. never once said a single human word to him ever again. last day of sixth grade, when i was leaving, i walked past his door, stuck my head in and gave one loud BARK in his classroom, scariing the bejeezus out of him, flipped him off and left. lmao
Love all the stories on this thread!
I LOVE YOUR MOM LMFAO
I forged my mother's signature multiple times for my sister. She was in fourth grade, and I was six years ahead with a considerable talent for copying what I have seen. Sister had a crazy, ancient teacher who required a parental signature every Monday morning. No signature resulted in no recess or other privileges. Sister was a good student. When we eventually told our mother about the forgeries, she was actually glad of it. Mom didn't like the teacher either. 😆
Lol my mom hated signing stuff, she was like “when are you gonna learn to do my signature”
❤
That's funny. When I was in elementary school we had to bring our parents signature in the book we used to write out assignments to prove that our parents knew we had homework and stuff like that. My mom almost never signed it, I would just write all my initials in a very weird way always finishing off with a heart at the end. They never checked.
My dad used to actually sign things DAD and I was accused of forging. I demanded the teacher call him ans confirm. She was stunned that he really did that. Mom signed my stuff from then on 😂😂
Once I sent a note to my son's teacher to explain that he really did his math homework but all he has left is a corner of one page.
As he got home from school, his favorite pet pygmy goat pulled his math folder out of his hands and ran away with it. By the time we caught the stinker, there wasn't much left.
I took a picture of the goat and the remains of the homework, printed it with an explanation of why Forrest doesn't have his homework.
She thought it was funny but she also said if I hadn't made that note she would never have believed that a goat ate his homework.🐐😊
@@LazyIRanch
Goats are evil 😅
When I was in middle school my mom got so sick of signing 6+ syllabuses for multiple kids that she started signing with silly names, with each subject having similar names, (think Betty Crocker and Little Debbie for science, etc) which is how my sister and I both got called into our orchestra conductors office while he fumed that we had turned in syllabuses signed ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ and ‘Patrick Star’.
Lol that's awesome
There was a local business owner in my hometown who had a long Santa-esque beard, so everyone called him Santa. The bike shop that he owned was even commonly referred to as "Santa's corner." After high school I worked a few years at the local supermarket and thus learnt that Santa's signature was "Santa." At first I thought he was joking but then I put two and two together.
He was a very nice man. One day he lost a glove while shopping and the whole supermarket, staff and customers, got involved to find his missing glove.
When I met each of my daughters’s husband I KNEW they were the one. I told hubby, but said nothing to our girls. The eldest said he was “just a friend” and “leaving for the military.” The second daughter was dating a guy we disliked for many reasons…drugs abuse etc and she wasn’t interested in the great guy who was over the moon for her and wouldn’t infringe in any way. Very quickly DD1 figured it out. It took DD2 8ish months. The eldest has been married nearly 6 years and has 2 children. DD2 just married a few months back.
YAY
Lol!!!! My hubby and I call each other Mommas and Daddies because that's how we talk around the fur babies. "Go find Daddies. Daddies will feed you soon. Mommas will take you for a walk." We never realized how it sounded until we were around my dad for the holidays. It was awkward but hilarious.
okay THAT at least is kind of cute. this is..... I dunnno.
We just refer to each other as mother unit and father unit. 😂
My boyfriend and I have the same thing... we are bird owners, so I am bird mommy and he is duck daddy.
I say Daddy, but my husband doesn’t say Mommy. Jerky of him!
10:43 have to preface: we're German and one of the most typical pet names is "Schatz" (like honey/darling) and jokingly took that further to "Schatzibuu" mostly as a gag and to make the other feel slightly uncomfortable, but at some point (no idea when in those five years) it just stuck xD Now if we want the same effect, we have to take it even further to "Schatzibubibuu" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I could never, in a million years, call a man "daddy" in the bedroom haha although we say "go to mummy" or "go to daddy " to our dogs 😂😂😂
Omglmao same!!!
yes!! talking to dogs or kids about each other would be the only time that it's acceptable to say "daddy" and "mommy" 😅
@@LuOsorio Same 😂
I can't! To each their own but that's a no for me.
yea, its screams weird to me too. i called my hub daddy once in public as a joke and we both were so icked out by it we were like nah, its not even funny as a joke, dont do it again lmao. we were at a festival and i wanted a snowcone, it was hot... i was like DADDY BUY ME A SNOWCONE, meaning it like a little kid. but it was just so weird and yuck lol. i got my snowcone tho... and propmtly realized, im too old for that shit as i dripped half of it down my shirt etc lol
I have human kids but I also call myself “Mummy” to our pets :)
The signature story is so funny to me because my mom hated having to sign papers for me (they were mostly reading logs and my mom didnt give a shit about them), so she had me practice her signature so I could sign off on my own papers 😂 I was nine
Yes! I forged my dad’s signature in high school so many times that now my own signature is almost the same as his
I was a relatively good kid. When I got grounded, I was 10 and it was a school holiday. I left the house to take a walk about 9AM. I didn't come home until about 6PM. My parents were "worried" about me. I was grounded for a few hours, then I went to them and said if you were so worried why didn't you come looking for me. I was playing in the neighborhood and was always outside. My parents were actually reasonable people. My grounding ended and I was able to watch my TV program Dallas.
Can confirm being the "Cool Auntie" is a good gig. I love it!
The dad who kicked his daughter out sounds like the kind of man who thinks he owns women and want to control their sexuality. I had a boyfriend in the 4th grade, my dad drove us on our dates and stuff. When I was a teenager, a girl at my school got pregnant at 14 and my dad's response was "It happens. It's not the end of the world. If that happened to you, we'd do what was best for your and respect your choices." I think my dad's a pretty cool guy, tbh.
💯 and your dad is just like my parents are.. I did get pregnant at 17 but married him at 18 before we had our daughter. We were divorced 3 years later but we love supportive parents.
I absolutely hate hearing about fathers who behave like this. They couldn't make it clearer that they view their daughters as possessions. It's not done out of care and concern for their daughter's well-being as they so often claim, but out of concern for their own reputation. I understand there are cultural and generational reasons behind it, but it all still equates to the same thing. Daughters are not possessions!
@@haileyranson8255 I don’t think culture or generation excuses that kind of behaviour towards women. If you can’t even look at your own daughter because has a boyfriend, then you are the problem. He should re-educate himself. Respect the individual and their sexual freedoms. ✌️
I just wanted to comment that I love your dad and his open-mindedness 😭

My daughter and I both have ADHD and we struggle to keep track of school paperwork and such. We kept forgetting to get her reading log signed so she just started signing it herself when it was time to hand it in. The problem now is, if I need to sign permission slips or whatnot, her teacher will know her reading log is forged. 🤦♀️ Thankfully, the one time she had a behaviour issue they called us instead of sending a note to be signed. We'll get our shit together next school year. 😂
Uhh I hate having to remember to sign those damn reading logs! I still have one for my son I need to find and sign that was supposed to be turned in like a week or two ago. I’ve got adhd too. lol 🤦🏻♀️
I've come across parents being super upset that their grown twenty something daughter might be interested in someone from outside their culture or religion. In every case I've seen it was because the parents were worried that the daughters choice would bring shame upon the parents. Didn't matter if the girl had found the potential love of her life. I've always thought it showed an absolute disrespect for the daughters wishes and it treated the daughters as if they were still small children. Very selfish of the parents.
Unfortunately, a lot of parents treat children like possessions. A child deserves UNCONDITIONAL love, not unrealistic expectations, manipulations, exploitation or domination.
Not like small children.
More like "property". 😑
@gabrielasimoes8425 yes! I treat My small child with more respect than this.
As a parent, one of my fears is that I accidentally push my own ideas of what a happy and successful life looks like for me onto my daughter. I'm so scared of making her feel she has to do a certain thing or live a certain way to make me proud. My parents made my life very difficult by making it clear there was a specific way to make them proud and made me feel like a disappointment for wanting different. I dont actually think they had a full understanding of what they were doing to me emotionally - I think in their minds they were just supporting and guiding me. I dont think they understood they were projecting their vision of life onto me. I think that projection is something a lot of parents do by accident to their children. I try to tell my daughter that the only thing she has to do ever to make me proud is be herself, do her best and be happy. I worry that even saying I want her to be happy may make her feel unable to express feeling depressed or struggling with her emotions if she thinks I need her to be happy. Being a parent is an absolute minefield!
@@haileyranson8255 Unconditional love is what every child needs.
The rest is trial and errors. Humans are too complex for a one size fits all solution.
When I was a teenager I learned to forge my mother's signature to such a level of perfection that not even she could distinguish my forgery from the original signature. When she found out about this she seemed confused whether she was mad at me or proud of my skill. 😂
I was taught to forge my mom's signature because my mom got sick of doing to bills and stuff and made me the household bookkeeper.
that's amazing, i love that
I learned a couple years ago that my dad's youngest cousin (a super awesome though naughty youngster with an overwhelmed, widowed mom and 4 siblings) learned in 2nd grade to use a made up signature for her mom so that there was no way to fact check... 2-12 grade, she signed everything without being caught because of course it'll match - it's her handwriting! RIP Margie. You were so sweet.
❤
same, i signed all the cards and stuff they sent home for parental signature once i hit 7th grade, new school, they didnt know right? lol i spent many 8th grade 2nd period hiding somewhere so i didnt have to go to that class. i dont even remember what class it was but i remember always skipping 2nd period. then my senior year, i only had one class that wasnt an elective or music related, so, i essentially was never at school my senior year. to this day, im unsure how i managed to graduate. alot of summer school is one thing i know. i spent every summer in summer school. probably all those classes i was ditching lol. but i graduated.
I made a signature up for my planner and letters at school, when asked I said it was my dad and they never questioned it, funny how he lived 5 hours away and I saw him twice a year but he still managed to sign my planner weekly 😂 when my mum found out she laughed and said well done because she always used to forget
I received many disciplinary referrals during middle school. Fortunately for me, my dad was an artist. He had a special drawing board with a really bright light perfect for tracing. I would overlap the disciplinary referral over my mother's signature (she would sign weekly completed homework) and light up the board. Tracing a perfect replica of her signature every time. I would make sure to use different signatures from different days to make sure they looked as real as possible. She never found out each week she signed my homework, she was really signing three or four disciplinary referrals also. I NEVER got caught.
Are you an artist too? In High School, I signed my mom's name on everything, even taking legitimate notes and re-writing them. When my brother entered high school I took over rewriting his notes. My mom also worked at the school district central office so I would boldly include the main number of the school district. Oddly, I always got away with it.
But why couldn’t you sit down and shut up once in a while? You sound like the kid that always made class annoying as heck.
I'm 60 yrs old, but I still remember spending HOURS learning to forge my mother's signature. One day they called my mother in to find out if all these signatures were actually things she had signed. Even SHE couldn't tell which ones were her actual signatures & which ones weren't so I got off scott-free! At least as for as the school was concerned. Unfortunately, my mother KNEW I shouldn't have had that many absence letters, so yeah.....I still got grounded, but at least I didn't get kicked out of school! Good times 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
my mexican parents told me if i had time for a boy friend i had time for a SECOND JOB. i was a full time college student, already working part time and they drove me to interviews to get another job at 19. i moved out a few months later with my boyfriend- been together for 5years and married for 3years
My parents actively encouraged me to forge their signatures from age 8 so they didn't have to bother reading and signing anything from school. My school made parents read and sign our homework diary weekly where the teacher would usually also leave a note about our work that week. My parents couldn't be bothered to read it so got me to just sign for them. Then again, I was a good kid so I didn't even use this to my advantage 😅
I might have used it to my advantage once 😂
I can one up the signature thing. In high school my dad caught me practicing my TEACHERS’ signatures. Not just one but ALL of them. I was supposed to bring home a progress report signed by all of them each week stating I had done my homework and, more importantly was in class every day. (Yeah, I was slacking off big time) He never said a word, just took the paper and walked away. I was a wreck and, needless to say, my grades went up and I had perfect attendance for the rest of the year.
Honestly, the reason for me why parents playing matchmaker give me the ick is because it has this gross-feeling, underlying expectation to have grandkids.
No time to naturally give the relationship space and time to grow, just, "See? Don't you two like each other? *Love* each other? Good, good. Now, when's the wedding, I expect an invitation and babies by the end of that year."
Everything ends up feeling rushed, forced, and like you have no space or privacy to really get to know your partner intimately.
I had 2 different teachers in elementary school think I had forged my dad's signature because his handwriting is so messy. (He's a nurse, and I firmly believe everyone in healthcare has illegible handwriting to avoid legal liability, but I digress...😀) Both called my dad to tell him about what I did, only for him to confirm it was his signature. One of the teachers even responded back with, "There's no way a grown adult with an education had handwriting this bad!" It even went to the principal, who said that my mom (who has perfect handwriting) should sign everything, because, unlike dad, mom's could never be confused with a "sloppy child." My dad was furious! But I got an apology from that teacher for accusing me, so one good thing, lol.
Can confirm getting called mommy by your boyfriend hits entirely different. Whenever I pay he pulls out the joking “thanks sugar mommy” and it will never get less weird
For most men, being called daddy is equally as weird.
@@BamfhammerI’ve yet to meet any of those men 😭😂
I'm just imagining Mike being in some other room while you record and all of a sudden hearing, "YES DADDY!!!" getting screamed from your office 😂😂
The kid signing the note “Mom” is one of the best stories I’ve ever heard 😂
I never did anything to avoid being grounded but when my cousin and I were 11 , we got the brilliant idea to walk 10 miles to Burger King to get the iron on patches they were giving away. Never told our parents. Then got the brilliant idea to cut 8 miles off our return trip by crossing the 6 lane Trans Canada highway. We got home after about 2 hrs. Our Dads were just heading out to look for us. Parents were all seriously pissed , took our patches and threw them away and cancelled our sleepover
I went on a blind date once. He seemed nice, not really my type, but, I decided to just enjoy the date and see where it went. In the FIRST FIVE MINUTES he mentioned pet names and that he needed to think ove one for me😨 I shot a panicked smile and said, ''Call me Ishmael.'' He actually started calling me Ishmael. I thought he was joking but he did it through the entire date. That was the first and last date but my friends starting calling me Ishmael for awhile after hearing that story 🙄😆

OMG I have a 3rd grade forgery story! I was in what was basically remedial reading because while I could read on a 5th grade level, I was AWFUL at reading comprehension. I once forgot to get my mom to sign my remedial reading log so I PRINTED my mom’s name in ORANGE GLITTER PEN and turned it in. Mom was so mad until she basically realized I had no idea what forgery was and had to explain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂❤
Did you write "Mom" in orange glitter? That would have been funny.
My husband and I went through a period of trying to come up with the weirdest pet names we could for each other. It started with babe, then babe-arino, babarooski, babbles, and on and on. Now ten years in we just say bb 😂
Sugar britches was a nickname my late husband gave me a little awkward when around his friends or family lol
My first (and really only) love and I used to come up with silly names to use in public just to be weird. Stuff like Pooky Dook, my little "Bubble Puppy", bunny-butt, and whatever nonsense popped in our heads!
I miss those days.😢
How about if you call each other "blobby" or "blobette"? My old boyfriend used to give me various oddball nicknames, it was funny.
Your Starbucks order will never go to the wrong person.
Babbles is great 😂😂😂
What the weird?
The trick my sister and i learned is you START the year with a forged signature so it always looks the same 😅 We would sign each other's stuff with our parents names 100% of the time. 😂
My parents were immigrants and I was born after they settled down in the UK. Since neither of them spoke English, I was in charge of signing everything for them lol. I didn't even think anything of it, it was just normal for me and I figured that if my parents told me to sign their names for them, it was ok. This included school permission forms and notes. I don't remember how old I was, but one day we were getting vaccines at school. As usual, I had my mum's permission to sign the permission slip for her so I could get my vaccine. Someone finally realised that something was wrong, a nurse came to me and asked me if I had signed it. I said yes so they had to explain to me why I wasn't allowed to do it lol. I had to call my mum and have her come to the school to sign herself. She didn't know how to sign her name in English because I guess she hardly ever had to do it. She signed everything herself after that, but she was rather annoyed about it at first lol.
Both of my parents have better cursive handwriting than me 😂🤣
I once cheated on a Science/Biology test in high school and received the highest score.
The teacher pulled me aside after class and asked, “Aimee, did you cheat on this test?” I replied “Yes I did” and we both started laughing. 😂
I guess she was surprised I quickly admitted my wrongdoing.
She informed me I would have to take the quiz again. (lower score)
After that funny exchange, that teacher treated me differently in a positive manner the rest of the year.
😂😂 I love this. It's proof that the cover up is always worse than the act. Love the outcome of this.
@@darlingdeb7010 It’s so true, the lie is worse IMHO.
I recently ghosted someone who lied to my face too many times and I explained that the lie is more hurtful.
Friendships rest on trust and honesty.
He lied once again to my face so that was it. I acted as if nothing was wrong and then blocked him on all platforms.
It’s insulting and childish behavior. Life is too short to spend time with someone who’s not honest with himself or you.

I know, it could have been a kdrama
I'd watch that! Lol, or a Lifetime drama. 😂😂
3:15 I can only hope the moms found out the kids were dating and are secretly exacting their revenge in that they are "no longer friends"
God, I forged my moms signature for school all the time. I was sick of being yelled at all the time. Yelled at by teachers for not having done my homework and then going home with a note and getting yelled at by my parents. This happened often and as an adult I found out I had undiagnosed adhd and autism my whole life, so that’s late proof that school was hard for me. Anyways, I decided to never have to give my mom another note to sign, ever again. So I practiced her signature. I practiced and practiced. Everyday. Until I felt I had mastered it. And oh god I had. I had mastered my moms scribbled 7 lettered signature and after that day, I signed every single note and nobody ever figured it out. I was so proud of myself.
My mom hated signing stuff and told me to find time to practice her signature 😂
I was driving and listening along, and let me tell you when you got to the part where she had signed the letter “Mom” I about had to pull over!! 🤣🤣 Thank you for choosing to share that one because man did I need that belly laugh!
Calling a boyfriend/husband/SO "Daddy" is the unsexiest thing ever. If I say that word, I immediately think of my actual Daddy, and everything just... dries up. 😂😂😂
Agree, I think of a pimp or really older man in the relationship that takes the place of her father. Either way I think it is weird to call a SO mommy or daddy.
I agree and I just have to wonder how long they been together for a 35 year old to date someone 10 years their junior and not think it's a power move
I think of my parents who started calling each other mommy and daddy to make it easier for us kids. Yeah. Immediately the least sexy thing ever
Charlotte, I love seeing how happy you are with Mike you guys seem so perfect for each other ❤❤❤
Your mom thinking that you're a lesbian just because you had a girlfriend sleeping over is the funniest thing I heard in 2024! 😂
My best friend and I were sleeping in my room (both 21), she is completely straight and we both had boyfriends, and I guess we were cuddling cuz we were cold. My mom asked me if we were lesbians 😂😂😂
My mom is in her late 60s. She thinks it’s weird I have sleepovers still at 40. It’s ok.
@@queenbee137parents are weird. And I’m a parent. But honestly, even if you WERE… I personally would’ve waited for you to come to me. But it really shouldn’t even be a conversation in 2024. Lol love is love.
I didnt think that was funny. Neither was the story of that girl that got kicked out for having a bf. I thought it was sad.
Charlotte isn't a lesbian? There are several girl's names that can be called "Mike."
Practiced Dad’s signature & once perfected, I showed it to him! His eyes bugged & the look on his face was priceless. He never signed anything school related but maybe someday the checkbook? 🤭🤭🤭
Unfortunate flex here. I was a stellar student until middle school when both my social skills and academic drive fell apart. I also got repeated letters and progress reports sent home. The first really bad one resulted in a 9 week restriction (our grading period at that school). When I had finally gotten off restriction, another letter was sent home. It was at this time, I saw my dad signing the household bills. Even though I’m female, my dad and I have similar names and as it turns out, similar signatures.😂. I couldn’t keep it all from them but a fair number of ugly conversations were avoided because I could do my dad’s signature like it was my own.
I ran away. I packed a bag, got dressed for the winter weather, packed some food and was going to take a bus to my best friends house. I was done!!!! The problem? I was 10, and it was like 11:30pm. There was no buses coming, and the bus stop was at the corner of my own yard. Lol my mom has a picture of me sitting on my suitcase and waiting in the snow at night under the street lamp, somewhere. Lol my grandma came and got me and I got a nice break from my mom and I’m sure she got a WONDERFUL break from me. 😂
I did something similar when I was about 10. I got mad at my parents for whatever reason, packed a bag, and wrote them a note saying I was now going to be living in our detached garage. Only I spelled it "garge". I could hear their howls of laughter outside in the garge. 😊
@@shawnycoffman lol silly kids. I love it.
@@shawnycoffman Dying! 🙂
Lol, this first one sounds like an early adult romance novel in the making!!!!! Or a hallmark movie!!!!!!! Everyone will make up for the holidays and all will be forgiven lol.
My husband has called me "mama" for years. It stems from like the cat call, hey sweet mama, or something similar, but I am also a mother. He always called me mama so his entire softball teams (he played 3 different seasons each year) ended up calling me mama.
In 7th grade I had to have something signed. I forgot the day before so I had to wake my mom up (she worked at an aluminum factory) on my way out to get the bus, for her to sign the paper. The freaking school accused me of forging her signature! That isnt her signature, they kept saying to me, the teacher & principal! My mom had to come into the school & rip them a new one for them to leave me alone. I still think they thought I signed it & she was just covering for me. I mean, if you are half asleep in the dark, you signature is not going to be perfect.
My first boyfriend once during kissy time caught me completely off guard and goes " whose your daddy?" I'm adopted and this threw me off completely
First story reminds me how my parents got together. Both their mam's went to the same weight loss center, they got talking and one week brought my mam and dad in. Dated, married, had 2 girls then divorced when I was about 8/9.
Signitures: At my school we had special weekly school planners that had to be signed every week to say a parent had seen what we got up to (hw assignments got and done, merits/demerits and detentions etc) it got looked at by our tutors (homeroom teachers I think in the US) every week. My mam worked a lot where I barely saw her and thankfully she had the simplest sig ever. Never got caught. Only think she knew about was the 3 detentions I got in 5 years in secondary school.
The dad kicking his own daughter out because she had a boyfriend (who she even ended up marrying) is heart breaking. Horrible parent. I don't know how the mom or siblings would ever want a relationship with him after that now knowing how evil he is
Yeah that’s just some toxic old world patriarchy - it isn’t cute or funny.
It looks slightly different from different cultures etc but it’s gross no matter the flavor.
Lots of men are incapable of loving their daughters past puberty and that’s fucking gross.
Like I get that its a cultural difference being Indian but were they expecting an arranged marriage? The I-must-decide-my-childs-entire-future type of parents are scary.
Im mixed Japanese and so thankful my moms family was way more relaxed.
She makes it sound funny but there is such a thing as honour killings
@@nursesophie5254
There’s also such a thing as “purity rings” here in the US dad’s give their daughters to ensure their virginity.
As I said above - patriarchy can result in all sorts of really gross products but I think bringing up honor killings is pretty white western thing to chime in with when discussing ANY brown parent being a shitty patriarchal dad.
The thing is, I know plenty of Indian women who wouldn’t have been kicked out if they had a boyfriend. Would their dads love it? No. But they wouldn’t have been so dramatic about it. This guy was over the top.
My Dad calls my mother Mama in front of everyone. In fact, in some places in my area, it's normal to call women you don't even know Mama or Ma. And my Dad said there's nothing wrong with calling your boyfriend or husband Daddy because words have different meanings depending on the context. Heck, he even said you should probably call your husband Daddy in front of your children, similar to how they do in Japan, although they usually say the equivalent to Father. But I could be wrong on that one.
Families do collectively call eachother by their relation to the youngest generation in the family in Japan. Everyone calls grandparents and parents that way, then elder siblings get called big-sis or big-brother once a younger sibling comes along. Doesn't happen unless you have kids, though.
As for what each family calls members, it differs. Some say O-tou-san, which is between Father and Daddy in formality. Some use Papa, which is between Da-da and Daddy. More informal masculine speech could use Oyaji, similar to Pops or The Old Man. Regional variations exist.
I honestly thought it was normal for Mom to call Dad Dad, and Dad to call Mom Mom, in front of their children. My mom and dad did that shit all the time. Lol
Yeah…but the context is different with how they're using in the video, hence why it's agonizing. There's a lot of sexual undertones, and it's usually interpreted as a "daddy issues" thing. Especially with how it's been recently.
So you're not wrong, but like, keep in mind the cultural context. Because it does absolutely change a lot of things.
Nope nope nope. Not ever going to refer to my husband as daddy. My parents never we did , either.
You are talking about a different language and culture where the terms for mother/father are more synonymous with "ma'am/sir". In the western world, parents calling each other "mom/dad" makes sense because the parents taught their children how to talk and it's confusing for Mom to have multiple names. The habit sticks even after the children understand that "mom/dad" is a title, not a name. But when you are talking about a boyfriend and girlfriend that haven't been together that long and have no children, it's a sexual thing. And it's seriously awkward and gross to slip into your sexual nickname for your boyfriend in front of your parents.
Personally, I take words literally enough that the thought of calling my significant other "daddy" or "babe" is seriously ick because it sounds incestuous. "Daddy" is my father. "Babe" or "baby" is a child. I don't care that those terms have taken on different meanings in our culture. It's icky.
"Hate is really just love repackaged"
So true 😢😢😢
Wow, I was listening to a song and just as I read your comment, the lyrics of the song said, "Love is Hope without doubt, Hate is fear turned out."
That must be my message from the universe today, because I am so afraid right now I don't know what I am going to do. Hope is all I have.
Omg that’s so true 😂
Bruh, the amount of times I forged my parent’s signatures… Forging my dad’s signature for band every week - to show the teacher we practiced during the week, which I never did because I hated it - made me a pro forger by the end of 6th grade.
I met my bf at my aunts house during a sort of, well, divorce party for her (very toxic relationship). Then again on New Years, we got paired up and did the whole "New Years kiss" deal. It was cute and really sweet, and we ended up talking non-stop until two weeks later we started dating. A year later, my aunt consistently and annoyingly takes credit for being "the only reason" the two of us got together.
This had me laughing so hard, my son thought I was crying. Love you Charlotte
Funny story. My son and his little neighborhood buddy about 2 yrs ago (they were around 8-9 yrs old) decided to take a neighbor's riding lawnmower for a joyride and drove it into a ditch. They then threw the keys and ran like Hell... the thing is, it was all caught on Doorbell cameras. So, the neighbor who owns the riding mower came knocking on the door to tell me what happened. I had a looooong chat with my son about how he needs to assume that EVERYTHING he does nowadays could potentially be caught on somebody's phone or camera, and he needs to think long and hard before choosing to do something that might not be a good idea.
A day or so later, neighbor tells me that the keys are lost and he can't find them, so I sent my son over to his house, in the dark, with a flashlight to go find where the keys were thrown in their haste to leave the crime scene.
My son and his buddy were grounded from hanging with each other without supervision for the rest of the summer, and have only just now started hanging out with each other again.
My best friend and I were forbidden to see each other so many times. We've been friends for 55 years now.
Confession time - I'm still lying to my mother about ditching an assembly, where I was awarded for good attendance. The irony. I told her I didn't know it was mandatory. She fought like hell for me and even took me on the end of year field trip herself, since the incident disqualified me. It's been 15 years, and I still lie about it when it comes up XD
The last story is so bloody cute, so freaking funny. I hope those Nintendogs are okay 🤣
I have seen you sad,and happy most of the time.Your personality is amazing,love you🙂
1st story: He's right they have a lot in common. They are both immature.
Extremely immature of them. They are young. Hopefully the parents will recover.
@@queenreg7 There was an update and the two mediated and got their mom's to apologize to each other.
@user-mx4is4fx3c thank god!! We're the moms actually upset with each other or was it to trick op and his gf?
@@finneganfox6470 They were but they were more upset with their kids ruining something they've expected for a long time (them to be a couple, since they were not in good terms when they found out).
Ah yes, because 19 year olds are suppose to behave like 90.
My mom had a very pretty signature and writing - she was very focused on my handwriting be pretty too. It meant that I was able to forge her signature from a very early age together with excuses from this and that in my school life. Neither parent was interested in my school or me for that matter do it was never revealed despite me having a lot of missed classes from having work hours during school time, having a day at home to finish a big assignment I forgot about or just feeling a bit under the weather. It was quite a reveal as a grown up. They almost did not believe me since I still did well in school and was a hard worker.
Always love starting my first day of my work week (W-S) with a dose of Charlotte!
And after a hard day it’s always nice to pill up her video with dinner
It's fun to know that someone else's parents are too good at hiding things to the point that they hide them too well and end up losing them. It's happened numerous times. My parent once hid a big bag of Lindt chocolate and then forgot where they were. They found them several months later in the middle of August, all melted. 😇🤷🏼♀️😇
I constantly bought things for my kids and hid them, then had no idea where they were when I needed them. There would be conversations that went something like, I got you the cutest thing for Valentine's day but I have no idea where I hid it! After my kids moved out and I decided to downsize, I found everything when I was packing the house! I gave them all the gifts and they got such a kick out of it. You'd think I would have learned something, but I still hide things. And then I can't find them when I need them. I guess when I'm dead and they're cleaning out the house, they'll find something and say, oh this must have been a valentine present for one of us!
Honestly I’ve always thought of charlotte as a second momma to all us subscribers lol. She has really safe energy
Shes not your friend or your mom
@@bigcactus3996 ok? Chill bud
One of the first!!! Starting my day off right! New Charlotte video, and I start college today!!! Can’t wait
Congrats. Best of luck to you.
@@MrsWellner thank you!
That is awesome; congratulations!
@@allsubstance thank you! But I failed😅😅😅
20 yrs or so ago I was dating a guy and my mother thought she would try and set me up with someone else even though I was going out on a date. The restaurant worker showed up to take me out .
How thoughtful of my mother to embarrass him. I felt bad but like I told my mother I'm not attracted to him but she insisted and surprise he shows up at my house
The lack of boundaries your mom displayed is astounding. I know you said it was 20 yrs ago, but to be giving your home address out to someone who's interested in you that you're not into... that's a no from me.
Forged my mother's signature on my spelling test book a bunch as a kid as i never remembered to ask when i got home. I did remember one evening and presented the book to her to sign, and she stared at it, asking who had signed her name. I swore up and doen she had as my dad was also there and and my life hung in the balance. Couldn't convince either of them and finally fessed up. She was so astounded at how well i had down her signature all she could was laugh. I totally missed a career calling.
I was never fully grounded but my mom would take my entertainments away. No friends after school, no computer after school, no tv after school, etc. The more I talked back the stricter it got and I knew that if I pushed any longer I'd lose my books which was my number one back then but I never let them know that reading was my favorite or that would be the first, not the last thing to go. If I had tea or a soda and my reading material and music I was fine.
Not me screaming "Baby" at the women calling her bf daddy in front of her family 😂 Babe isnt close enough, you COMMIT and slur the b to a slight d and say baby in reference to him from now on in front of your family lmao 😅
I did a very similar thing with the late slip signing. I forged my dad's name, but when my teacher asked if I had gotten it signed, I panicked thinking she knew and admitted the whole thing, so got in way more trouble. Also turned out that I spelled my dad's name wrong, but it probably wouldn't have been noticed if I hadn't said anything 🙃
Omg I needed this so much right now 😢Thank you Charlotte ❤️🙏❤️ We love our Potatoe Queen 👑💖👑
This makes me appreciate my parents so much. I haven’t answered to anybody since I started paying my own bills! That is just like lunacy!!
Oh, so many stories from my childhood. I grew up across the lake from you (NF, NY). We would always climb down the gorge in summer and swim in the lower river. For those not familiar with the area, there is a whirlpool towards the end of the lower river before it hits Lake Ontario. There is also a very strong undertow between the base of the falls and the lake. Basically, we should absolutely not have been in that water. I had the perfect, foolproof plan. I told my mom that we went swimming in my friends pool. She said, "The pool smells like chlorine, not dead fish!" Yes, the lower river does have a very fishy smell to the water. I was grounded for the rest of the summer.
Once, my mum grounded me in the living room. I wasn't allowed to go outside, but when she turned her back, I climbed out the window and ran for it. 🤣
But man, when you have to come back home! lol
I think calling your other,"mommy or daddy" sounds sick. I don't know why people do that. The LAST thing I want to think about when we're intimate is mommy or daddy! Yuck! I can't get down with that.
I call my husband "bébé". We've been together so long that I no longer call him by his first name. Well, we have a daughter. She was asked by her teacher what her parents names were in case of emergency, and she responded with: "Brooke and Bebe". When the teacher informed me I couldn't stop laughing! It's now a funny joke with my family, so everyone, including my parents, will sometimes call him "Bebe." ^-^
Lol, I’m an elementary teacher and I get called “Mom” every other day! The kids always gasp and get so flustered, it’s really funny and cute, 😊
The forging signature 😂😂😂 I definitely did that too 😂😂😂 weird Indo thing, we have a "connection book", it's a book of notifications about the kid's day and homeworks or projects the kid need to prepare or do. We have to give it to our parents everyday so they would know the school activities and such, and they have to sign on it everyday and the home class teacher have to check the book everyday before school ended and they also put their signature there too. My papa has the easiest signature ever so I used his 😂😂😂
7:53 Since when are we laughing lightly at parents kicking their daughters out of the house for dating someone? That's a horrible father and anybody coming up with the "culture" excuse can shove it up there.
Have a good day Charlotte and all the other petty potatoes in the land! ❤😊
You as well
same to u' i have a big test coming up, pls wish me luck
When I was in middle school, I skipped school with a group of friends to go find a friend that had run away from home. Needless to say, my mom is very upset when she got a call saying I wasn’t at school and I was grounded for two weeks. Once she calmed down though she came to ask when actually was going on because it wasn’t like me to do something like that. I told her the whole story and she said well you’re still grounded for not telling me but if you had just called me to tell me what was going on; I would’ve given you the excuse to not be at school. Was never grounded again; lesson learned. Mom’s just need to be in the know. 😅
if any of my kid's friends ran away, and they told me, you had better believe that I would be out there organizing a search party with them and everyone in the area.
My other half calls me pumpkin, and I call him goofy as he can make me laugh by being an idiot no matter how I'm feeling. I also love Charlotte's reaction to the 8 year difference. We have an 12 year gap me being 29 him being 41. Love that man to pieces
Gotta love when Vanilla's don't know the first thing about D/s relationships and try giving Vanilla advice!! LOL
