      Sometimes it's because they _do_ remember and, in their eyes, want to be better than their parents or whoever raised them. But since they've gone mental, they obsessively overcomphensate and latch onto ideas that make sense to them. I can imagine her mother insisting this and putting the fear of it into her. If she got cancer and died, something like that would've absolutely convinced the mom everything really was poisonous, especially if it happened when she was young.

    So my best friend when I was like 6 or 7 was like family. And I’m talking like we played almost every day, had sleepovers constantly, and we always called each other brother and sister. My mom and his mom were good friends as well. His parents had always been a bit over bearing. We were forced to keep the door open at all times, he was constantly yelled at by his parents while I was there, and he always seemed to have a toy taken away. So one day, my mom texts his mom because I asked to play. And she never responded. Never. They just ghosted us. I ran into him about a week ago at some park and he apologized profusely and hugged me. We both started crying and he said “if my parents know I ran into you, I’m going to be in so much trouble but it was so amazing seeing you.” I sadly couldn’t get his phone number or anything because his mom controls his contacts on his phone. She even controls the books he reads. If his mom doesn’t approve of the book on a book report, he’s grounded if he does it. I miss him SO much and i just feel bad for him. I wish we could keep in contact but sadly we can’t
    Edit: So I asked my mom about him and she says his parents (more specifically his mom) have done this to multiple people already. Including the moms sister. My mom thinks that they were emotionally abusive and possibly even physically because he often had cuts and bruises on his face and arms.

    When I was a teenager I had friends whose father would follow them when they went anywhere. If they said they were going to school or the Carl's Jr. He would physically make sure. This was before cell phones, but I suspect he would text them to make sure they weren't lying to him. He even started a business when they were 16 so they would work for him, and he would known where they were. They guy had issues.

    Got one of these for you guys. Best friend lived in nyc after she and I dated for 2 years. So at this time I was 22 and o bought some airline tickets to go fly to see her. My parents at the time weren’t in my life and not was I remotely living near them. (Across the country in fact) but some how they found out I was flying to nyc. My mother called and demanded that I let them know what I was doing at all times and when my flight landed and all that. I didn’t want to start a fight told them when I got on the plane and when I landed but then I texted them saying I was going to be busy so don’t expect me to keep them up to date my entire visit. She goes off the hinges and calls me four times and leaves an entire book of texts after that responding to my text. I’ll be honest I didn’t read them cause well I was on vacation and spending time with my best friend and her wonderful mother. Flash forward 6 hours I haven’t checked on my phone cause I was busy hanging out with them and we get a knock on the door. It’s the police doing a wellness check. My parents didn’t have their address, their phone number, and weren’t even on the same side of the country as us but they some how found out my friends address and told the nypd that their son is believed to be kidnapped by my friends at their home address. I had to go to the police station to sort everything out and I ended up getting a restraining order and order of protection for me, my now mother in law, and my wife

    Some kid in my neighborhood ended up going to the hospital severely malnourished. Basically his mom believed that like 99% of foods were harmful to a child due to "chemicals". She was overly obsessed with his food safety, believing that pretty much everything was toxic in some form. The only thing the kid was fed were scraps of vegetables that the mom grew "organically and safe" in a handful of planter boxes in her house. The kid's school eventually noticed the kid was getting skinnier and skinnier, and alerted authorities. They had already noticed the kid's meager lunch boxes, so at this point they were certain this kid was being underfed. Kid got put into foster care, mom was arrested and served jail time for child abuse. Kid (now an adult) still lives in the neighborhood and is now incredibly overweight to the point where he has to go around in a mobility scooter.

When given a lot of good food he kept those habits and ended up gaining a lot of weight. The mother should forever be locked up for seriously fucking this kid up.

    My mom was one of those parents. I suffer from insomnia and my moms cure was stupid. I had a strict bedtime of 7pm even after I graduated high school. That bedtime stayed until I moved out of the house. Me nor my twin were allowed to leave the house without being accompanied by our younger brothers, why? Because we are women and need to be protected. Our brothers were 12 and 10 and we were adults. We weren't allowed to go over to friends houses most of the time because we were grounded, why? Because she said so. No reason for punishment, she just felt like we needed to be punished. I had a date that I told my mom two weeks in advance about and for the entire two weeks I wouldn't shut up about it. Five minutes before my date arrives, I'm not allowed to go because I didn't tell her enough and when I tell her she ruined my date, she proceeds to tell me I ruined her life so we are even

    My own brother. During the height of Covid, he asked my mom to quarantine for 3 or 4 days after landing from her flight before getting to see her granddaughter. That I can understand, but even after the vaccine was released and my mom got it, he still asked her to quarantine for two days.
    Recently, my mom’s face got badly bruised after falling while walking her dogs. When she went to see my brother again, he discouraged my mom from explaining what happened to his daughter, asked that our mom turn the bruised side away, and then said his daughter was “brave” for looking at our mom’s face.
    It’s like he doesn’t just want to protect his daughter from the bad things in the world, he doesn’t even want her to know about it.

    I was the overprotective parent this time. Not just my children but the children of the neighborhood and I avenged my cat. I turned a woman in that received disability benefits for her "injured" back. Her first strike was yelling at the children for riding their bikes too close to her car when she parked it over the sidewalk where all the kids would ride their bikes for safety due to traffic. She then had the nerve to tell me, with a smug smirk on her face that she yelled at my kids. Strikes 2 & 3 were one scenario, I let my cat outside and he disappeared, one of my other neighbors told me she saw "disabled" neighbor grab him and take him somewhere. I confronted her and she told me straight up she took him to the shelter. I called them and he had already been adopted. I could have tried to call and get him back but it had been about 2 weeks by now and I knew the family through others and their kid was super attached. So I sent an email to the disability office to let them know that her (fixed income housing) apartment's only bathroom and bedrooms were upstairs and she didn't have a commode or bed downstairs. How she would carry arm loads of groceries inside. A day or two later I see someone walking around the neighborhood taking pictures, nothing new because people would often stop by and take pics of my willow tree (RIP). A few days after that, maybe a week, I see a woman in a nice pantsuit with a clipboard go into her apartment. A few weeks later there was moving van. Found out from one of her building neighbors that she lost her benefits. That's my favorite story to tell new people that move into the apartments across the street from me.

    My mom was one of the parents representatives of my school. The amount of crap coming from other parents was insane. We had parents complain about swimming being part of sports for one year - not because somebody could drown, but because her son got a C that year and that is entirely unfair as he always got a B. That was in 6th grade and the marks you get in 6th grade don't matter for anything except if you are so bad, you'd have to repeat the year which he didn't. His parents still made the school change the subject from "sports" to "swimming" for that year which meant everybody had to return their grades in order for them to rewrite them.
    Another one was when we were doing a project for our annual "school day" think of it like a science fair, but the entire class is doing the projects and there are no judges or anything. Our project was an exhibition about advertisments and how the manipulate people. So one of the ways ads manipulate people is by being sexy - which we illustrated by showing pictures from TV spost, magazine ads and posters that involved shirtless men and/or women in bikini. Again - all pictures were Ads you would see in your usual magazine or on TV on early evening. Still several parents complained about our class being exposed to sexuality and how that kind of education would change us for the worse - pretty ironic as the point was to make people aware of the issue of this kind of content being part of normal adverticing, but somehow they seemed to not have gotten the point.
    Last one is not directly related to school, but to our local sports club: We had so many incidents with parents running onto the pitch during soccer games either barrating the refferee or attacking other players in order to protect their babies - the sad part of this is that the only real way of stopping them from doing so is to kick the kid out of the team. I know we are punishing those kids for the behaviour of their parents, but we need to make sure all kids that are playing are save and we know just banning the parents won't help as they either show up regardless or pull their kid from the team anyways.

    My parents were the opposite. I ran away once in my 20s (I'm autistic and struggled with life for a long time) and although they went ape-crap crazy, they relaxed a bit when they got a phone call from a B&B in Warwick, England, to say I'd left some ... unmentionable objects in the room when I left. They knew it was me because the hotel was named after a famous battle that took place on the date of my birthday (albeit a good 500+ years prior obviously). They told me later on that they were relieved I was still alive and that I'd be home when I got hungry, and although my mum was upset and angry when I got back and did the opposite of grounding me by keeping me in sight for a few days (including taking me to work with her once or twice), it was nice to know that my sense of humour had intersected with serendipity and let them calm down about things. I calmed down a bit too afterwards.
    The second time was a year or two earlier on 7/7, when London got bombed by Al-Qaeda and I was headed to London. I got in a while after the explosions and had to walk between Paddington to Victoria, where I was supposed to be getting a coach to go and see relatives up north. I had no idea what had happened until I was on the bus and my dad and sister both rang me to make sure I was ok.
    My mother's response when I asked her later whether she'd been worried? 'Oh, I knew what time you left Reading and when you'd get to London so i knew you'd be ok. Your dad did ring but I let him know you were probably fine.'
    I love my mum. She's not quite laid-back, just incredibly pragmatic and unflustered. She DID learn that all my lectures and classes in my first year at uni were on Monday and I had the rest of the week free for studying.
    Being the older child, of course, I was my mum's first everything. First baby (she actually didn't quite understand why my neurotypical sister needed a lot more supervised play than autistic me did), first schoolchild, first teenager, the whole nine yards.
    So a few weeks into the first term, I'd told her when my lectures and classes were. At the LSE back then, each lecture was done to the whole cohort and even open to the public. Each seminar, however, was made up of a good-size handful of registered students taking that module run by PhD student teachers (or the lecturer if you got lucky and it was a niche class). (This was an awesome system and I got really good quality teaching and interaction with the postgraduate students.) However, when mum heard I had basically all my teaching on the Monday, she rang the student authorities and asked them to change my seminars and distribute them through the week. The office actually took another look at my schedule and agreed that it needed to be a bit more spread out. Which...yeah, it did, because Monday was a long day and some classes went on later in the evening than the normal school day I was used to. But I almost like that kind of concentrated schedule as then I can work at my own pace at other times during the week without classes looming over me.
    Then I was the first graduate and the first daughter to get work and yeah, she got me an interview in Dublin where she was living. It was just after 9/11 so I thought Dublin would be safer than London, but the job interview was conducted in her office (she was principal at a school over there) and every string she could pull got pulled. Then a while later she saw how exhausting the job actually was (financial accountancy is legit tough -- I wish I had had the spoons to cope with it as I would have been good at it, I was just constantly tired) and spoke to the boss and yeah, he sacked me...
    As I said, I love my mum, but she and I have both had very porous boundaries at times. After my husband died, about four years ago, I came home from work to a bit of a creepy feeling. Some leftover pasta in the fridge had been bagged up. The hob was just a bit cleaner than it had been. My bedroom was spotless and my washing basket was empty and the clothes were missing. I realised she'd been in to the house and cleaned up for me, but it really weirded me out. I went to my mum's the following evening as I'd been planning to, and said that I was really grateful and all but could she just let me know she was going to come in and clean for me? Then it wouldn't feel like the opposite of a poltergeist in the house. And the kicker was that it was six weeks before my fortieth birthday.
    The old saying -- good fences make good neighbours -- is spot on. As I said, I love my mum to bits and never want her to stop being my mum. But boundaries exist so that that love doesn't turn into being smothered...

    I was pretty involved with the brony fandom for a while. Parents are fairly
    Conservative Christians Taking a slow but certain turn towards the liberal after recent events. The first time I told my parents about a meetup in my town I was going to, my mother started freaking out because she was afraid that I was going to be, and I quote: " Seduced and kidnapped by pedophiles that will take advantage of me."
    I was like in my early 20s at the time.

    Crazy people are allowed to drive and care for children even if they “like to go off their meds”? Life is stupid.

    Some of these parents should never have had kids. Your kids ARE NOT OBJECTS!! THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS JUST LIKE YOU!!?
