I'm sorry I'm still floored at the got her kid drugged-up and institutionalized just to keep him away from his father post.
Yeah really seems like there should be a 3rd party signing off on this.
I'm calling bull on that one.
A lot in that didn’t add up. This is definitely not a true story.
Hopefully not a true story.
@@DuchessofEarlGrey honestly, it's not totally out of the realm of possibility/probability. Psychiatric institutions have a long standing history of shady, unethical practices and outright patient abuse. People like to pretend that was only back in the 60s/70s, but solitary confinement is still commonly implemented in prison systems around the world. Even though its been proven to be effectively on the same level as torture.
The second story bypassed over-protective and went to straight-up abusive. As in, call CPS, this child is being drugged by his mother, abusive.
Excellent point, bless you! I just hope someone who is able to help this situation somehow reads your valid advice/ suggestion. How crazy is our world?

Thin line between being protective and being abusive
Agreed
Being protective is often just a polite word for being abusive. There is no line a lot of the time.
No, as a father of 4, there is a big line. I could write a book on why and how but couldn't be arsed right now. But we are all allowed our opinions.
I remember getting invited to a party after graduation. One of those first years when everyone moves away, and we were partying cause everyone was in town on break. I noticed all the "sheltered" kids turned into drunk messes cause they never got to experiment when we were teens.
Dang, the mom putting her kid on unprescribed drugs...the wrong person is in the assylumn.
Home schooling has just become a godsend for abusive parents instead of an option for kids who may actually need to do school like that and it's so unfortunate
No public school is a cesspool of degeneracy, inefficiency, abuse, and corruption.
"The radiation is coming! Get in the house!"
Uhh, lady, that's not how radiation works...
"Mom, its just the sun that gives of radiation!"
Tell me about it. But I have known people like that.
I'm protective of my 12 year old daughter, because times are different than when I was a kid. However, I'm not overprotective. We live in a small town where everyone knows everybody. I let her go to a friend's house, and I let her go to local places with her friends. But, I make sure she texts me every now and then, and she has a curfew. Yes, I get worried because you can't trust anyone. But, I don't want her to be living in my basement at 30 years old and pretending she's living her best life in California.😂 So socializing is good.
You sound like you have a healthy balance. I don't blame you for being protective, I was, too when my sons were young. There's such a fine line between over-protecting and just making extra sure everything is as safe as it can be for the moment in question. We need to let our precious children navigate the world as much as possible using their age and maturity level as guidelines.
> times are different than when I was a kid.
Yes...they've gotten safer. Violent crime peaked around 1991 and has since returned to levels seen in the 1970's. Teen pregnancy and sexual assault - also down. Reporting on it, however...way up.
29:48 My brother and I were homeschooled, but that was less because my parents were nutty in any way, and more because we had some pretty severe behavioral problems when we were small and just needed extra time to grow out of some mental baggage. We were also confined to PBS Kids and the local news for tv, but that had more to do with not being able to afford cable. Our mother preferred it that way, because the less media we saw, the less merchandise we would whine about not being able to have. It was mostly just very practical, but we definitely looked overly sheltered without context. We were both well enough to go back to school for 7th grade, and while my brother didn't like his peers enough to WANT to be friends with them, I made several good friends who I'm still in touch with today. We're just incredibly grateful our folks were able and willing to make that space for us, when elementary school counselors just wanted to dope us both up on Ritalin to make us easier to manage. Definitely not the usual outcome or purpose for homeschooling, which saddens me. If not for homeschool, my life would not have turned out as well as it has. :/
Over in my country thrashing, and shoes aren't unusual.
However I witnessed this neighbour lady who would thrash her little daughter who was extremely docile and not at all bratty
Over the years I noticed as the daughter has grown up, she is completely detached from her mother, thankfully the father is supportive of her and she has now gotten into an elite college
that second story isnt fucking overprotective, thats abusive, its disgusting.
27:19 I’ve never been more disturbed in one of these videos 💀
You and me both.
10:39 I’ll bet you this gal might be kind of ashamed of her past and swung the other direction that far because she didn’t want her son to repeat her past mistakes. I know some people who are like this: the strictest have the darkest pasts.
27:19 I'm sorry, she WHAT?!!
That's like "what if Modern Family was on HBO", or something like this (if you know, you know).
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT
That really came out of nowhere after the intense drama of the previous story
Yeah, I reacted the same, is like "WTF you're doing the opposite what is intended"
I think this is illegal.
Homeschool is fine as long as the kids do co-op classes and/or extracurriculars, or at least play dates with peers their own age. My sister and I were homeschooled and I’m only a normal level of awkward, and she’s one of the most socially skilled people I’ve ever met.
My grandma told me about a pair of parents of someone she was interviewing. I don't know if these parents were the way they were because of overprotectiveness, or what, but they were definitely different.
One day, grandma was holding interviews for nursing positions at the hospital she worked at. One young woman, who'd just graduated from nursing school, came in with her parents. Grandma tried not to think too much about it at first, but the longer the interview went on, the more unusual it became. Every time, the young woman answered a question, her mom would say how proud she is of her daughter to the dad in a voice you'd only use for a baby. The young woman also showed up in an outfit grandma described as only appropriate for working at Hooters.
Grandma didn't say anything about it to their faces. Which I found a little weird since grandma doesn't mind if some people think she's a bitch. The young woman didn't end up getting the job. From what grandma said, her mom probably would have showed up with the young woman to every shift.
People confuse over protective with abusive and controlling.
I'm not sure if overprotective is the right word. Narcissistic, cruel, and schizophrenic seem to be the operative terms here. Nothing 'protective' about doing this horrid things to your child.
Yep my elderly parents are cruel to me they used to be nice to me now they are like I got collidis help me change my diaper or your not getting your social security check. And I told them I wish Madonna adopted me because she is the same age as you guys and doesn't act like an bitch.
I come to these threads to compare stories to my 27 year old friend and I hardly see anything worse than his parents.
Can you tell about what your friend is/was going through 🤔?
It's too much to list. I don't think its any mental abuse. He's just so sheltered due to it and therfore is making it hard for him to grow as a person. He's still the same as I met him at 16 and hes 27.
@@Kiingers Sheltering someone to the point that it retards the development of social skills IS mental abuse, dude.
I'm almost 20 with parents in their 60s and all they do is need diaper changes because they have health issues I want to move out so bad but they won't let me leave unless a cop takes me out in handcuffs.
Freaking out about your kid getting a scratch is just going to make him or her freak out more.
I feel like 2:28 does happen more frequently than we like to think it does, but it doesn't happen to anyone we know. (There's a doubter of that story in a comment's reply thread. I think until the actual victim of the overprotective mom can get far away from egg donor and whenever they become ready to share from their mouth or hands (via typing for the latter) what happened with their overprotective mom, the close friend's version of the story is good enough for now. Since the end date of the reddit commenter's friend's stay in the mental ward has long gone shouldn't there be an update about this...or did they mean 2027 and not 2017 since it seems like the commenter's friend was placed there recently (like in 2017 when the storyteller said the friend was sent away) with the comment saying "5 hours ago"
That egg donor is so far beyond saving with any kind of meds, she needs the psych ward, not her son. I would suggest when the story writer collects his friend they should just completely leave the crazy egg donor's radar and try to move closer to the friend's father. It would cause the person who wrote the story to just drop whatever school their going to and go to a college wherever the friend's dad lives. I feel like only the dad and the storytelller care about this boy, the "mother" can just frick in the general direction of off.
Not everybody updates. And a lot of people just want to leave the past in the past.
"Sounds like the parents could write '101 Ways To Raise A Serial Killer'"
Yeah, that sounds accurate.
I lived in a town some years ago, close to a school. Every morning without question I saw a mother drop off her two daughters, early teens. That wouldn't be weird if it wasn't for the fact that they lived two streets from the school, 400 metres away. The girls were under no circumstances allowed to walk to school, so if the car didn't work? Well, they were just being kept home for the day(s).
I am one of those kids that went insane when I got some freedom. I went full se× dr~gs and rock and roll. I spent my late teens to mid 20s doing enough all 3 that I felt better about the guilt eating me alive. The truth is I had never been alowed to make my own choices and learn my own boundaries so I had no idea how to use moderation or develop common sense. I'm in my early 30s now and I've settled down alot. Everything got easier after I went no contact. My advice? Be patient and be merciful with people from homes like this.
Well I don't think kids should regularly get cuts and bruises to know that they're human and they make mistakes. I do think that's the first and most important thing they should be taught however. The only problem is that time and time again, kids are often set up for failure by not only the education system, but also by adults that don't want them to grow up and be independent. Society always seemed to frown upon independence. Not just independence in women, but independence in men as well. While back then, shit was already crazy, things have gotten extremely worse overtime. It's like a tornado leveling a city, then here comes a fucking volcano sending a pyroclastic surge for good measure. I don't have any kids, but society is failing kids. The good people aren't, but the rest are. They're constantly telling kids how to do things, what to eat, and so on. Kids are supposed to learn from experience, not from their parents nagging every 5 seconds about the smallest shit. You see, this is one of the reasons I refuse to make any children. I'm not going to bring kids to suffer in this world, because if something happens to me and my family, who will take care of them? DCF sure ain't getting them. I've seen them too much in my childhood and they've done and attempted some questionable things that I won't get into until I'm comfortable enough to talk about my experiences as a kid, so they ain't EVER getting ahold of ANY children of mine. I hope they see this too. Anyway, it's really just not worth having kids in this world. This world will burn with fire and anything else that's hot and hellish. I won't see any kid of mine being put in the ground either. It's like being a nurse and watching a patient die right in front of you. It's horrible and you never come back from that. The memory doesn't just go away, it eats and eats at you like a family of starving maggots and flesh eating bacteria. It's just horrible. I don't care if it's to save the world, I'm not having any children. I can't really see why a lot of people chose to have children in such a cruel world. And people say Hell isn't real. Hell is it's own place, but being on this planet sure feels like being in Hell. I really wonder if this is what Hell is actually like or of it's a million times worse than this.
17:38
About the kid who witnessed a violent death in Ninja Gaiden and he reacted by screaming and running out of the room: I wonder if the kid was ordered by his mother that he would get in trouble if he even glances at the TV while people are playing violent video games. Not a "I can't take the violence!" situation.
Chernobyl is in Ukraine, not Russia, even when it was in the Soviet, it was still called soviet Ukraine.
No wonder why people are so messed up.
0:52 ok I was raised this way and thought that was normal for a while - no Nickelodeon, no SpongeBob, no Cartoon Network, no Disney Channel, literally just Discovery, PBS Kids, CNN, and OPB, because anything else other than those four "wasn't educational enough" and therefore was banned. I learned way too late in life that no, that was in fact not normal, and that I missed out on a good chunk of my generation's cultural references because my mom was weird about TV.
How was the mom at 2:23 NOT ARRESTED?!?!
Putting the problem as watching FOX NEWS. Yeah it’s not his parents!
that second story brought tears to my eyes
Mine weren't as bad as a lot of these but I still had an abnormal childhood, My parents were conservative christian helicopter parents. (For reference, I'm male) I wasn't allowed to stay home alone until I was almost 15, keep in mind I lived in a safe suburb, I wasn't allowed to go more than four houses away until I was about as old. I wasn't allowed to watch Harry Potter and most stuff like that (obviously Narnia was fine though) as well as any documentary heavily covering evolution. I had to attend church every week even after I was 18 (because you know, you usually can't exactly afford to move out then and I was attending a local college) and to make things worse, I had to skip an event if it would interfere with family worship.
Most of my schooling was also either in not very good Christian schools or homeschool too, thankfully my parents were horrendous with technology so I was able to use the internet freely and it was my only real escape.
My parents were constantly afraid something would happen, I never got to go trick-or-treating because they were afraid the candy would be laced with drugs or have razor blades in it. I also remember one time when we were in an upscale part of downtown Atlanta and they were terrified of walking down a busy, well-lit, sidewalk for a block to the parking lot at like 9 PM, it was insane.
These days, I rebelled hard from my parents perspective as I want absolutely nothing to do with religion, and am a fan of a lot of supernatural media. The ironic thing is I'm still abnormal compared to most people as I don't have an interest in drugs, alcohol or even sex (I'm asexual) but still very rebellious by my parents standards.
Things were worse for my sister though, my parents didn't even want her going to a safe suburban mall in the middle of the day even after she was 18, I'm happy to say she rebelled (by acting normal) as well though.
Reading these stories helps assure me that I'm better off childless.
4:24 did anyone else think that their father was a gymnastics coach and a JUDGE, like courtroom judge??? 💀
The most effective treatment for anxiety in children is to treat the parents anxiety
20:55. My wife and I drove a big red car for years. That thing was practically invisible considering how many times people didn't see it.
Most of the redditors in this one are more screwed up than the people they're railing against. Go figure.
The story about the mom not wanting her kid to drive 'natural' color makes me kind of laugh. I drove for cab company who's cars are bright neon green. I drove for them for over 5 years till the pandemic hit and every single accident I have been in was in those vehicles
Mom drugging kid Story: OP said his friend got out in 2017. 6 years ago. I hope they are both doing okay.
Friends (twins) lives 3 doors down. I had a trampoline and his mum used to shout over the fence for them to get off. We were well old enough. Proper snowflake doesn’t talk to me anymore
8:09 wait what?? I don’t remember boobs in Starship Troopers…
I didn't remember them in Conan the Barbarian either. Until my 8 year old son and I were watching it on DVD that is.
"Son. Remember some time back when I said there would be things not to tell your mother?"
"Yeah daddy."
"This is one of them."
25:19
What happened to the girl? What did they do to her? Sometimes I wish we can get a follow up story on some of these posts.
2:32 did you go to school with Butters Stotch? Jeez...
10:18 if only it were that easy, honestly
2:30, that sounds like munchausen by proxy
I've been wondering forever what does "and then bsp" mean?
My mom and dad are overprotective they won't let me play guitar loud and I'm forced to take care of them by changing their diapers even though I want to play Call Of Duty and guitar and also listen to Madonna hell I'm not even allowed to sleep during the day only at night until one of them elderly parents of mine needs a diaper change.
I hope this is fake if not I hope you get out of there
Tf happened at 16:44?? 💀
21:22 CHORNOBYL. WAS. AND. IS. IN. UKRAINE.

The amount of people who think forcing your kids to attend church is abusive is ridiculous. My kids will attend church and church activities till they are out of my house. Idc if they become atheists or Islamic or Jewish or whatever. My roof. My rules. We will be learning about all religious organizations and anti religious organizations too. I like learning about others beliefs and why they think the way they do. Makes me believe in my own faith even more instead of detracting from it and finding similarities between the faiths and morales of people makes me feel closer to my fellow man without hating them.
cool terrible dad
People like you make me ever more grateful for the parents I have.
If they become atheist or switch religions, your forced church attendance would just make them absolutely despise your religion and I'm speaking from experience. My parents forced me to attend a homophobic, sexist, anti-science (as in evolution denying and believing Noah's flood happened) church even once I went atheist. I absolutely hated going there and now days I want absolutely nothing to do with religion. If they had just let me quit going when I wanted too (which would have been in my mid teens so not absurdly young) I might not despise religion as much now days.
True but your kids will grow up to hate you
Just don’t force the kid suffering from a 102 degree fever to go, and let the kid who isn’t religious like you not go.
