How to say you're your child's first abuser without saying you're abusing your kids
Emotional neglect is very real and very damaging
i can smell the EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Yes, you normally get a gun to protect your friendly parents. Or you get a gun to protect your friends from your parents. Don't trust people who aren't your friends.
Yeah, Mishima style
This takes the saying “all children deserve parents but not all parents deserve children” to another level
🦴😕Why no comment?
🦴🙂This good post!
Huh?
This goes along with the phrase respect is not deserve it is earned. Most parents need to know this
Soo true
my dad needs to know
"Dogs die, don't get into financial distress over it."
"Okay, I'll be sure to remember that when you're on life support!"
I'd say the same tbh :/

My whole life, my parents said, "Im your parent, not your friend" and now they're utterly confused about why I dont visit as an adult
I would say "just remind them what they told you" but I know these kind of people shrug off hypocrisy effortlessly and wouldn't have even the smallest moment of introspection over it. But it's nice to imagine a world where that would show them.
@GolemCC another comment robin mentioned was they would suddenly develop amnesia about what they said and accuse you of gaslighting em
say you’re their child, not their guest
My dad always said "Listen, I'm not just your parent, I'm your friend. But I don't have to be; respect goes both ways."
I like that aproach because he let me know that my respect for him will be returned, and as long as I don't outright disobey him, he'll continue to be my friend.
Fun fact I know the girl at 1:41

The “SD, 9” absolutely means “9 year old step daughter”. This person felt like her husband was cheating on her because he was texting his NINE YEAR OLD STEP DAUGHTER
What makes it even worse is I'm pretty sure SHE'S the stepparent here, meaning she felt like he was cheating for sending loving messages to his OWN daughter. Some people need help. I guarantee the daughter is picking up on her resentment too, which is just sad.

They literally limited his screen time to 1 minute a day (which he figured out how to bypass lmao) and have basically shunned him for having "long" hair (just barely past the bottom of his ears).

I'm so happy that the concept of toxic parents is becoming more familiar because growing up i was told that they dont exist or im being ungrateful ngl this video really helped quite a lot, because the hurt you get from being called ungrateful by others is way worse than even having parents like this.
Just boomers in their echochambers, toxic parents do exist
26:37 This woman is actually angry that her fiancé writes sweet texts _to his daughter._ Yup, she's well on her way to being an insane (step) parent.
No worries she already is insane
Yup, I immediately construed "SD" as "Step Daughter" or something else in place of "Step" when she mentioned having step kids, which it's just...wow, she thinks he's cheating on her with his own daughter-
Besides that insanity, if he were somehow in an inappropriate relationship with his daughter she'd consider that "cheating" & not a crime??
@@damienearl8302 No, she doesn't think he's having sex with his daughter. She's upset that he's WAY more sweet to a 9yo than to her, his gf. She's _jealous_ of the love shown to the child, thinking she deserves more.
@@Aeroldoth3 I'm sorry if I said the word "cheating" when she also said it? Like, she literally said "it feels like he's cheating on me"...y'know, *with his daughter* , I'm literally just repeating what she said in a way that includes all the facts
And even then, it's a bit narrow sighted, because when you think about it for not even too long...yeah, he's probably gonna have more of a connection with his daughter, that he's raised for nine years, than his new girlfriend-
The problem with "I'm your parent not your friend" is that it has a kernel of truth in it, but is almost exclusively used by abusive parents to defend their abusive behavior.
I had a parent who had this mentality, and a parent who was my best friend growing up. You'll never guess which one I blocked and which one I still talk to now that I live elsewhere.
As a parent of 2, I have always been confused about this saying. I'm both to my kids. I want a connection with them and want to be included in their lives AND I want them to view me as an authority figure and respect my guidance.
Those aren't mutually exclusive, and I'm at a loss to figure out why the hell anybody would think that they were? Just be good to your kids, show them that you care about them, support them emotionally and try to be the best example you can be. Shit's hard, but not impossible.
FFS, burning your kids' stuff in retaliation for them not complying with your every demand? That's not parenting, that's straight up mental abuse and attempted conditioning. Those are your kids, not a slave and fashion accessory. wtf :|
If you'll excuse me, after watching this video I feel compelled to go hug my kids and tell them that I love them.
It's more true to regarding how you speak to them. You don't usually address your parents with names like "dipshits" like you would with your local group of buddies for example. There is some formality and respect that are expected to be maintained.
At least, that's how I interpret that sentence.
@@greenstarlover1I mean, even a friend can have a boundary where they wouldn’t want you to call them a dip shit. You can teach your child this without demoting your relationship with them to something that’s based entirely on a power dynamic.
@@greenstarlover1 I wish more shared your logic. :(
Thank you for that, regardless :)

Because he's had to deal with his own awful ones.
it doesn't take living under horrible abusive monsters to sympathise, but when you have.. it's like.. impossible not to get angry.
That's why I like Robin, I might not agree with him all the time, but he's earnest and honest and he tells it like it is, or at least how he sees it.

Yea it means aunty it's used in Punjabi and I think Hindu but yea it's really annoying due to the fact you need to call specific people chachi/chachu or aunty/uncle
If I bought a pack of 8 hotdogs and ate 2 and got my ass ridden on by my parent about "I ate them all" I would want to know what happened to the leftover 6.
It says in the pist that Chachi was a sick dog. He was spazzing out over his own illiteracy.

The only thing "I'm not your mom, I'm your friend", along with many other of her parenting choices, taught me was that she was not a safe space. She was not safe to talk to.
Now as an adult, I still don't tell either of my parents how I feel, who I talk to, what I'm struggling with.
Saying that to your kid just doesn't work.
This comment reminded me of this quote: "They're your child, not your slave." - A. Tafkeer
Parents can act out the "I'm not your friend, I'm your parent" thing in 2 very different ways. The first (and correct way) is clearly establish that you are the authority but you still respect the fact that the child is an individual with their own personality, interests, dreams, and shortcomings. This is perfectly healthy since it allows for reasonable boundaries and an appropriate amount of autonomy for the child. As the child matures this relationship also matures by gradually allowing more autonomy for the child and will eventually evolve into friendship when the child grows into an adult. The second (toxic as hell) way this can be used is a dictatorship where the parent assumes a god like position over every aspect of the child's life. People that grow up in this environment tend to have a lot of difficulties in relationships (romantic or others) and struggle to live independently since drill sargent isn't there to tell them to clean their living space, eat, or pay bills. Also, based on new research, if the dictatorship is emotionally invalidating and/or doesn't allow for the development of a personal sense of identity there is a significantly increased chance of the child to develop borderline personality disorder.
my mom is 100% the second one 😀 (she treats and talks to me like a toddler) im trans and she sent me to group therapy to "fix" me 💀💀
@@Ima_Dead_Bat Look on the bright side pal-io, you get to choose their nursing home.

I would've stopped treating these guys as parents as soon as I left the damn house. They think that their kids have to be nice to them and everything because they "raised" them, when all they really did was screw them up for a few years because they had nowhere else to go. I would've showed them real god damn fast how wrong they really were to even think that.
Scaring a child into submission will only teach them how to better hide the activities next time, not stop them. They will avoid communication with you as they will want to reveal less about their life for fear of unnecessary reprimanding, and will want to leave the situation in totality as soon as they’re able. If you want a respectable relationship with your child, instead of constantly questioning and belittling them, find alternatives you’re willing to compromise on, keep your line of communication open and as positive as possible, and support them through their mistakes-not controlling every aspect of their life, as they will find a way to gain freedom anywhere they can anyway (rightfully so). In trying to keep your child under your “watchful” (abusive/controlling) eye, you’re ensuring they will no longer want to be in your line of sight, effectively pushing them away. You are a friend, an authority figure, and an aide in survival. These are roles that are sacred, not to be undermined or abused. Someone who does so will face the long term consequences of no longer seeing/being a parent to their child, or will have set the precedent that this is behavior the child should accept from loved ones, ensuring they end up in a similar situation romantically. In this case, the individual they now dedicate their life to will likely perform a manipulation tactic such as isolation, gaining full control of their now partner, and you’ll lose the child through that means as well.
TLDR; stop it. Get some help.
THIS. I, was the child in this situation and this 100% correct.
Yup. We get better at hiding, better at lying, better at listening for footsteps. We get more cautious, less trustful, and don’t know how to express ourselves or set boundaries. Helicopter parenting as it’s called is not an effective way of parenting. It just ensures that the child doesn’t trust anyone and doesn’t feel comfortable being themselves.
Story of my life.
My dad kinda does this,exept hes not a bad parent.he’s actually amazing but ill have to add that for some reason i am absolutely terrified to share whatever i like.i think i originates from “do you have a crush on-youtuber-“ “why do you only watch male youtubers” “do you like -band member-? Do you think there cute oohhhh” or maybe it’s because my obsession with these videos,somebody give advice?
Imagine getting grounded for being _52.8 feet_ short of your 3.5 mile goal, it's like people who complain about a 0.05 lb difference when they get deli at the store.
I'm lucky my parents aren't like this
That post really makes me think that the parent is insecure about something in their own life, and so they're controlling their child's habits in order to feel better about their own shortcomings.
Huh, now I know .1 miles is 52.8 feet. That is pretty insane getting mad over the length of a schoolbus
@@inertiaking1 The worst thing is that it's not .1, its *.01*
It's like complaining that your footlong sandwich is 11.97 inches.
The parent is the type of person who would get a heart attack if they saw a chair that could only fit one person
My favorite things about parents is when they yell at their kids for not following rules that they don't have to follow making themselves sound like hypocrites. If they're not going to regard the rules that they set in place, I or any other kid in the house shouldn't have to either. Also, I love how that mom didn't like how her son didn't want to do anything sports related and thought he wasn't a man. Clearly she has no idea how many sports related injuries can happen a year.
Or just want them to earn tons of money FOR them. Some people are greedy enough to exploit their children for money.
@@victoralexandervinkenes9193that, pretty apply, to at least 90% of parents. Maybe more
i just feel sorry for them and having to deal with parents like that, especially if you have moved out and are doing your own thing, not under their watch anymore and they still act like they control everything that you “must” do
Yknow, robin going off ranting about how crappy these parents are really feels like a therapy session (in a cathartic way) as someone who has issues from having just A Really Bad Mom
Sometimes ranting or hearing rants about bad parents validates how you feel about your own parents. It's kinda nice to hear that you're not alone in whatever you've dealt with. I hope you don't have to put up with your mom anymore, 'cause knowing at least in my experience being able to permanently distance myself from my own mom really helped my mental health

@@boba_bunny_g0r361 hope you’re doing good bro. Stay strong
I've had my ups and downs with my parents but they are good people at the end of the day, so seeing this saddens me dearly.
My mother is one of these. I literally not long ago sent her an email stating she is no longer welcome in my life. I'm in my 40s ... I should have done it so much sooner. My dad is also out of my life similar reasons.
To anyone that is in these kind of situations... leave. They won't change. Save your sanity and be happy as soon as you can.
From this complete stranger to the person suffering this way.... I send you hugs and love and just know, you can survive this xx
Ya know this means a lot to me right now, cause as of now my mother is going to kick me out of the house bc of my failing grades after moving to a new and difficult environment. She said to expect some failing grades but now she’s just using this an a excuse to hurt me and just get rid of me. So from a stranger on the internet, thank you.
Hopefully you could get them thrown in a government run care home
Unfortunately, I can agree... My mother had no intention of me ever being able to support myself... Her passing due to liver and kidney failure (extremely heavy drinker) was unironically the best thing that happened to me for my mental health and personal stability... I still have genuine nightmares of her still being around...
I'm having to leave my family at 18 [all of my family] bc of emotional abuse of everyone. my mom pulled the sue card and said I don't have rights and if I do go she would "pull my mental health card" I thank you for this comment
I’m leaving as soon as I can. I’m currently 16, but when I turn 18 I’m getting out of here as soon as possible
at 24:26, those are "Spanish bayonets" they're plants that are so sharp you can use them like a knife, I uh, don't think its a good idea to have them anywhere near your house.
2:25 I had a friend who had cutoff her parents even going so far as getting a restraining order against her parents. why? she works to pay for the mortgage, she buys all the food, she cooks when she gets home, she literally do everything in the house while her parents sit on their ass all day and ask for money. one day they insulted her for not dating anyone when she literally works for 12 hours, and then do house work for 4 hours. that`s when she moved out, they told her she was overreacting then she lived with me and my girlfriend for a while. her parents called the cops on me for "kidnapping their daughter". so she took a restraining order against them, they lost the house a month later and started living to her grandmothers place then they also got kicked out. and lived on government housing. the father died 3 years later, the mother died 8 years later.
in my opinion the best type of Parent-Child relationship you can have, is your kid not hesitating to ask you to join their party as the 4th member so they can finally enter the 4 man boss raid.
My dad and I used to play videogames all the time together- When I used to play Destiny I'd always ask him straight off the bat to join my fireteam if I was missing another teammate and half the time he'd log on and help me out lol
I usually play Minecraft Dungeons with my dad and its really fun
My mom doesn't game, but if I ever get around to putting a D&D group together, she says she's interested. And she's a former accountant, so I know she'll min/max the hell out of her character.

"Refuse to give password"
Passwords would be pointless if she gave them to you.
Finally at least someone understands the point of a password
When I moved in with my Nana, she gave me a new phone because my birthgiver refused to give me my other one back and for like- 6 months or so I refused to take it anywhere with me or put a password on it. I left it on the kitchen counter- Then one day I asked my Nana if I could bring it out to the restaraunt we were going to and she was like "well duh-"
My mom convinced me I was always doing bad things on my phone for the longest time (I literally just called and texted my friends-) and so I was too paranoid to have any security on it.
Thinking back on it, it makes me laugh thinking that my birthgiver constantly asking for my passwords and all kinda defeated the whole purpose of having them in the first place
Well this and the fact she literally posted her crime.
Considering she said her password, it’s her phone. She likely was given it as a gift by the parents or someone else.
That means potentially this woman has committed a crime by destroying someone else’s property and then documented said crime.
I’m so glad more and more people are seeing it for what it is. Not a punishment, but as a literal crime, regardless of if it’s a parent and a child.
I’ve never understood what destroying someone’s property shows.
I never gave my parents my password ever they eventually respected that decision I made it clear I did nothing wrong and will not be shamed into giving my password to them (they aren't perfect but they sure are better than these psychos)
I always knew that my parents would beat me and/or smash my stuff if I refused to give a password so my sister and I learned how to hide stuff so well that there was no need to have a password in the first place, kind of like how spies use steganography since they can be tortured for an encryption key if someone knows they're hiding something.
Listening to these videos have helped me to realize I’m not being dramatic or cruel for thinking my mother is abusive. She has been gaslighting my whole family all my life, so I could never trust my own thoughts, only her words. It’s taken a lot of time for me to even feel comfortable thinking I might not be to blame for being abused, and these videos, and Robin ranting, have helped me accept it. So thanks for for your unruly rants and rage over these terrible parents. You make me laugh and feel just a little bit more comfortable in my own skin.
What you think is real. I am real. If you think reality isn't real, you need a (quite literal) reality check
Hope you separate from your mother
I had a similar situation growing up with my mom. It got so bad that everyone around me started to believe her when she kept saying that I made up her abuse for attention. I moved out without warning her after I turned 18.
Keep on going you get through it soon
I'm so happy that my parents aren't insane like this. They're actually normal. But, I'm so damn sorry that you guys have to deal with your insane parents, everyone.

This "I'm not your friend,I'm your parent" reminds me of that time when I accidentally saw my dad commenting under some FB post about parenting
His comment said: "It's difficult to be a friend to your child"
And this entire video makes me more grateful for parents I have,because it actually makes me realise how healthy my relationship with my parents is,and reminds me of how hard they are trying for me.
Some act like their children are just free slave labour for when they get too old to care for themselves, more like get thrown into a underfunded care home
@@skootergirl22 Whereas the good parents get taken care of anyway because we want to be around them. Funny how that works.
Mom of two teenage girls, and I’m not going to lie, I usually skip the r/insaneparents because it’s so hard for me to listen to. I think about how my mom treated/treats me, and I think about how horrible my girls would feel if I treated them like some of these parents. It makes me _genuinely_ tear up.
I almost finished this one (it was on while I cleaned), but I had to stop at 28:50. I cried... legitimately still have wet cheeks right now, and I’m not even going to pretend it was ninjas cutting onions! I can’t imagine how that little girl feels, and I can’t imagine why a mother would EVER want to hurt her child like that. I don’t understand.
I wish I could hug and comfort and hold every hurting child out there, including adults that still have their hurting young selves trapped in their hearts.
♥️ Love and comfort and hugs for everyone, and I mean everything I say. ♥️
I try not to hate because I feel that hatred does nothing but poison myself, but I do feel a special type of rage when I read or hear about a parent/parents hurting their child(ren.) These “parents” spit in the face of the unconditional love a baby has for their parents, of the innocence each human being is born with.
Oof... I’m going to go watch some funny videos ASAP because my heart hurts from sadness and my jaw hurts from fury-related clenching.

Stuff like this makes me realise that, even though my parents can be very unreasonable and flawed at times, I’m still incredibly lucky for what I have, and that it definitely could be much worse.
1:52 give her a dummy phone that causes an incident when that parent starts damaging it.
What these parents don't get is that they are teaching their kids to use them and then leave them forever when they grow up to 18, since there is no emotional bond, why would they keep in contact after that?
They don't care a lot of the time. My mom still hasn't apologized for what she's done to me and my brothers.
Narcissists especially don't care at all about their kids unless it makes them look better. Sometimes they change with time when they realize they've isolated themselves from their children with their abuse and manipulation, but other times they kinda just get sour and blame the kids for abandoning them.
Never look back I guess...

What’s sad is the one about the dog wasn’t too far off from what my grandmother was thinking when my Husky tore her ACLs in both back legs. Just because it’s expensive, and the dog will take a while to heal, doesn’t mean you just give up on the dog
thats a sad thing, person with N pfp
I've noticed that some people form the older generations don't actually see pets and family members or just lack the ability to get emotionally attached to an animal, which was always so weird to me.
I've always seen animals I've owned like children. My dog is the most important thing to me right now since I don't have anything else to look after, and if she got hurt I'd do everything I could to take care of her. Sure, it can be expensive but that's just one of the things that comes with owning a pet. If you can't take care of the animal, or don't care about it's needs then don't get one.

These videos actually gave me courage to tell my story. Last year my step dad would always go out everyday whether is was in the morning or at night even after he got back from work. He verbally abused me and my sister including my mom as it felt like he was norhing but a ticking time bomb. One day he could come home and be happy, the next he could comw home and yell at everyone foe no reason. Him and my mom fought, he got mad at me for getting a math problem wrong, even one day he was telling me and showing me sexual stuff as it seriously made me uncomfortable and such as I couldn't say anything to anyone. He was soon suicidal and always threatened us be would off himself and of course everyday I was scared and nearly crying and such.

My man (Or woman or anything inbetween), use the internet and technology to your advantage. Make sure they learn their lesson, whether it be after you move out or now. Though I do understand if you just want to live quietly. Abusive parents are a dangerous breed.
Parents think that being a parent is a high status than being a friend
Kids can choose their friends, but can't choose their parents.
More like free slave labour
Nah, My Parents*ARE* My Friends, They *ARE* A High Status, They Are *SICK*
It's so cathartic hearing you get mad at these people. It makes me feel like I have someone on my corner, cuz that's the sort of shit I've had to deal with.
I'm 40 and no-contact for years and it *still* hurts.
Watching these makes me feel a bit better about my parents, bc at least they tend to realize thier mistakes and apologize.
Now then that doesn't change that my mother is probably a narcissist and has what I think are may be autistic meltdowns bc idk any other reasonable way to explain her getting mad, throwing a tantrum, and angerly pouting and glaring at an autistic 10 y/o bc he had a panic attack and expressed he wanted to get off a fair ride before it started and she wanted to ride it. I know she's bipolar but damn that's a crazy thing to do.
I (her 19 y/o child) knew and told her she needed food, she refused saying she was too mad, so I had her go back to go ride rides on her own since that's what she was mad she could do, while I took responsibility for the 10 and 17 y/o, so we got snacks and met up with her after she calmed down.
Talked to her later about it and she thought it was ok to try and make him ride things he didn't want to bc that's what was done to her as a kid "and she turned out fine" (paraphrasing) but everyone's different and that's just how to break trust. She did however admit she knows she was acting childish. She thought her riding on rides and us sitting under the tent bc it was hot and we had no interest in the rides made her look like a bad mom, honestly I think the tantrum made her look worse
I love her but I'm glad I don't live with her, cuz we're both a mess and my blunt honesty rubs her wrong about 80% of the time
Will say later neither the 10 nor the 17 y/o wanted to ride the faris wheel she kept trying to convince the kid and I did a bit too but they really were just uncomfortable with it so I road with her and the two stayed together and were just fine.
Boundaries and consent are very important even when it's small things, but especially with an autistic kid
The more i watch/read through r/insaneparents the more i see the emotional and mental manipulation my parents put me through, like theyll yell at me for random bullshit and treat me horribly than have the audacity to ask why i got prescribed to have 9 antidepressant pills a day to stop myself from having bad thoughts constantly
Of course of course, they don't see the emotional damage inflicted onto you because it couldn't be their fault you've got mental illness?
In reality though- it's their fault in two ways. Genetics and emotional manipulation and abuse.
I wish you luck in the future because honestly it sucks having to deal with the aftermath of abuse
Update: confirmed that my parents don’t care about me, I got hit by a car on a desolate road 2km from my house while walking with them, they saw the whole thing happen. And left me unconscious on the side of the road, I stumbled my way home to them having dinner (none of them sad). Luckily I only broke 2 ribs.
@@Lost_Marimo Oh my gosh are you okay now? Im sorry :( ❤
@@Lost_Marimo Jesus fuck.
ngl i teared up a lil. its so tragic that people actually go through these horrible experiences with people that are supposed to take care of and love them. i hope anybody with toxic parents get out of that situation as soon as possible, take care guys :(
One of the worst things when you cut your parents of is when you realize that the only reason you appear to feel worse now/ have more symptoms is because you don't have to be afraid of the consequences anymore, and you just have years of pent up pain and trauma expressing itself at the same time.
And then your stupid brain is still going to ask you if you really did the right thing by leaving, because that's the kind of traces manipulative people leave with you. To that little voice, yes, yes it was the right thing to do.
Hope everyone who's escaped terrible parents in the comments have a great life full of happiness and fulfillment
11:10 oh, if I was being held down hostage by someone, I would definitely start biting like a feral raccoon with rabies

That calm anger in Robin's voice was terrifying...
Remember, there's a difference between relatives and family. Not all relatives are family, and not all family are relatives. You don't have to love a blood relative just because they're related. Some people don't deserve it.
My mom tried to get me to dislike my dad because he's not my biological dad after an argument she had with him.
It just backfired horribly because now I'm even closer with my dad and really don't care if he's not biologically related because he raised me either way, and hardly talk to my biological mom.
Blood doesn't make family. Trust and genuine love does.
@@bombdotcom2168
Yup.
I had a similar thing happen to me and a friend, whom I consider a cousin.
My dad said that because we aren't related, we are not family and that we should stop talking. He even went so far as to use the phrase
"Blood runs thicker than water" and didn't even know what it actually means.
We have not spoken since, bc my cousin is not the only person he has done this to and my relatives are mostly on his side.
@@thefandomcrew3712 It sounds like he was trying to isolate you from people outside of the family, which is a very strong manipulation tactic. I'm glad to hear you're no contact with him because that's just awful to have to deal with
@@bombdotcom2168
He was very manipulative and abusive.
But yeah, I'm glad I am not there anymore.
after all a step dad is family even if theyve nvr married or anything. a great father figure is more family than a "crappy sperm donor".
23:27 gotta love how this person specifies "don't tell [BLANK] or she'll get mad at me" which tells me that they actually really liked the gift but this controlling person just wants to take it away from them
Dude, I am so glad my parents are some of the best people on earth, they would give us everything we ever wanted if they could (including a schlanket for my brother if he asked)☺️
For people who have or have had abusive guardians, I'm proud of you for surviving or currently surviving the awful things you've gone through, keep being strong❤❤
"I see the light at the end of the tunnel."
*"GO TOWARDS IT"* that is one of the best single line responses the man has ever had
I was once told by my mother's husband that I was "acting like a bratty teenager" to not attend family gatherings all because I didn't want to see him. The reason was that I'm transgender and I didn't want to spend time with some who made it blatantly clear that I would not be accepted by him
What a dumb---
As do I
That's just...kinda wild to me
Like, if its one's right to not accept you as a person, why *isn't* it your right to not accept them? Is it because you're younger or they're simply "better"? I, for one, see it as a two way street in every case...if you're allowed not to love me, I'm allowed not to love you, and if you're allowed to not accept my existence, I won't acknowledge yours

Insane parents: "I'm not your friend, I don't have to like you/treat you with respect."
Also insane parents: "You HAVE to love me, you HAVE to give me respect...hey wait, why are you refusing to let me see my grandchildren and leaving me in a care home alone?!?!"
"I'm not your friend"
Don't worry, you're no longer my family either.
25:56 oh hi plankton
i will never understand these kind of parents. its freaking horrible how they can act this way and the kid cant do anything about it.
if yalls parents are like this, dont worry my mom offered to adopt you all
I'm glad I had a sane parent throughout my childhood to help me out. My mom was insane but my dad has got to be the coolest person I've ever met and without him I wouldn't have survived lol
Pls take me in I need my sanity backk!!!
@@Kensuke22 u have been adopted
There’s nothing better to make me appriciate my Mum and Dad than watching videos like these. I’m so sorry for people who had to grow up with such dysfunctional parents.
Agreed holy shit there are some real monsters out there
15:37 I was making ramen when this one came up
If you were wondering, I made beef ramen
Was it yummy?
Good for you 👍
Beef ramen good choice, I personally like chicken ramen
Hearing these stories makes me feel blessed as hell to have a very good connection with my mom.
Okay so, my mother tried doing the whole "I'm not your friend I'm your mom" AFTER WORKING HER WAY INTO MY FRIEND GROUP FOR DND
When I got mad at her because she was telling an (ex)friend of mine about my personal life when he started cyberstalking me, she proceeded to ground me. For 2 months. Because I "had an attitude" when she was telling a guy 4 years older than me about my personal life an encouraging him to harass me.
Pretty sure that’s illegal in a lot of places.
@@MayHugger Sadly, I'm willing to bet it doesn't apply to parents
call the cops
sue the hell out of her
That's not your mother anymore.
Can we just give Robin a good subreddit?
Good as in, a merrier subreddit to react to?

24:35 I think the bushes are called Yucca for anyone curious.
2:12 I’ve actually talked to my parents about that and they brought up a good point. “We can be your friend but we will always be your parent first and as parents it’s our job to keep you safe and a friend would not keep you safe from what you are doing” brought up during a conversation about my unsafe choices
Robin "WHO IS CHAICHI, IS IT A DOG?"
*Snort laughs and rolls off the bed.*
To the dad freaking out about the Angel video- in the Bible the Angels are described like that! That’s why they’re called “Biblically ACCURATE Angels”!
Okay, so Bayonetta-esqe. Got it.
3:44
It is very hard to realize something that isn't true.
i also love how hes being like a very nice parental figure its so sweet he cares about these poor kids unlike anyone else
Mom: I’m your parent not your friend
Also mom ten years down the line: WHY DON'T MY KIDS TALK TO ME 😭
I know right?
And people wonder why there are so many old people in retirement homes...?
My grandparents are my legal guardians as well but mine are a nice happy 60-54 coople
16:46 genuinely pissed off robin is something we all needed
“i’m not your friend, I’m your parent” literally matches so well with “Every child deserves an adult, but not every adult deserves a child”
Not every child deserves and adult, and not every adult deserves a child
“I’m your parent, not your friend”
That doesn’t change the fact that you’re *SUPPOSED* to take care of your kids and not harm them.
The excuses people use for such disgraceful behavior is outstanding.
I like the fact he was just reading the text normally, but just lost all of his patience about Chachi appearing in every message
Now we all love Lexi and the voices she uses when she sees those cute wittle animals, but seriously *please* give one those subreddits to Robin. At least for a day!!!
maybe for every 2 or 3 infuriating subreddits hes given a break with a subreddit about cute animals, I think that'd be pretty fair.
My dad offered to pay the THOUSAND DOLLARS for my brothers *roommate’s* dog to get an MRI. He loves dogs that much. When our family dogs have to stay at the kennel at our vet (rarely, as one of us usually just stays home with them if it’s a weekend trip to see family we see often) my dad always signs the “do everything you can to save any of our dogs if there’s a medical emergency, whatever the price, we’ll pay it, just DO IT” part. It’s just no question in our family. I’ll go hungry to save my dog. We lost 3 last summer to old age cancer, kidney failure, and a heart attack (that one was the worst; my husband was so desperate he tried breathing into her mouth) so we’re even more protective. It was a terrible summer. I had to go to grief counseling. Our dogs are my world.
0:30 aged like milk lol.
The fact this goes from pure comedy and absolute jokes to a sad story is crazy
Important note: I am transgender. Alright so when I was in 7th grade, three of my friends invited me to go to the mall with them. I ask my parents, they say yes. My mom went off shopping and left me with said friends. Only one person's parents stayed with us. Now, keep in mind that I was 13 and the others were 11-12 (6th graders). We had a really great time. I got food, bought stuff with my own money, and just hung out overall. Then it gets late and everyone starts going home. It's just me and the friend who's parents stayed. My mother comes to get me. We walked away and start heading to the car, everything is normal. Then my mother begins to (negatively) comment on the person's parents, who were a lesbian couple. She says some s*** about how she doesn't approve of their relationship, and that they shouldn't have stayed with us. Basically saying that we should be left completely alone in the mall. Reminder that the other people were in 6TH GRADE. We leave the mall and go home, and my mother tells my father about my friends. All hell breaks loose in the living room as my parents full on scream at me for a HOUR about how 1, you can't be transgender (note: most of the friends I was with were also trans), 2, apparently the gay people existing was influencing me somehow, and 3, I may no longer talk to those friends outside of school ever again. I also got a lecture about how my parents were tired of me dressing masculinely. As an addition, my father also said several slurs in the span of a few seconds. I still have the words "WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU, YOUR FAMILY OR THESE G** D*** F*GS?" engraved in my memory. TLDR: Homophobic/Transphobic parents yell at a 7th grader for going to the mall with his transgender friends and tell him that he needs to dress more feminine before he "destroys his family."
god damn that is messed up. I hope you've managed to remove them from your life
Are you ok?

Damn, a 35 minute video? Robin's gonna have a field day.
30:07 so I was playing a video game while listening to this, and I literally snapped my neck when you said “okay to abuse her” because I thought the mom actually put it. Honestly I love that you added that because the mom may of as well said that.
He sacrificed his neck AND his game because of the video
I think the more rage he has, the more southern he gets.
