In the first story, so the wife forced her daughter to fail so the daughter wouldn't joined the air force. The daughter probably hates her mom for doing that.
It's so sad that she ruined her daughter's life for her own selfish reasons and now she lost both the daughter and husband.
The whole thing is heartbreaking
Isn't the airforce the least dangerous anyhow? That is if that's what her mother was worried about.
But I get the impression she was just selfish and didn't want her kid far away which makes it worse if that's the case ...
"Why doesn't my daughter ever talk to me or visit me?! đ«"
@@EL-ISS Well the danger depends on the job they give u. U could be sitting comfy flying UAVs, refueling aircraft (Which is what my Dad's brother did during Desert Shield/Storm), or u could be flying an A-10 or something.
The gameplay in the background was insanely infuriating to watch.
Agreed, the lines are gonna look horrible
@@cynthiagustafson5164 my big issue is that the mower was moving too fast and bogging down, and there was no way to smoothly move at a reduced speed. This meant they had to stop, reverse, and go over again every few feet, making the cut terrible.
@@DJ_Level_3 there is tho! There's a freaking throttle slider they kept maxed out the whole time
@@11er33. wtf that's stupid
â@@11er33. should have been drifting it lol
First story: So the mom just ruined her daughter's life all because, she doesn't want her to live far away from her. What a helicopter mom.
it's probably fake tho
my nephew's mom is the same way...she has no custody of her kids and her daughter wants to go to school out of state (she's also not paying for her kid's college at all) and pretty much demanded her daughter go to school near her just because she wants her daughter nearby
@@paladinoestetica1915 Maybe, but I've seen enough stuff in my personal life that I believe this could actually be true.
Thatâs not helicopter mom. Thatâs a disgusting person
she probably uses her kid as a maid so her going away means she wil no longer have a cook/babysitter/maid
Mom not wanting daughter to join Air Force: had a similar situation . Lived in Maryland. Applied to Arizona State U and never heard from them despite having an ACT score in the 98 percentile. 25 years later mother admitted to discarding all correspondence from them (including offer of full scholarship) because she didn't want me to move so far away. Stopped speaking to her.
Ow.
Wow, your mom literally sabotaged your future
I'm sorry for your loss
Thats jacked up. My mom didn't want me joining the army, but she took custody of my daughter so I could, her words were "i don't like it, but I don't want you to blame me for not getting to try" my dad was army, and the DoA didn't do right by my mom when my dad passed away, but she thanks every veteran she sees. I couldn't imagine her trying to keep me out to the point of letting me fail school. (Although I was more of a goody goody in school, so ...but not the point)
Y'know, the funniest part about parents fucking over their kids so they won't move away, is that their kids would often talk to and visit them MORE if they didn't do it.
that first story pissed me off, the mom basically ruined their daughters life for her own selfish needs, im glad i have a good mother that would support me instead of do that.
No, she literally ruined her life.
Honestly at the end of the story it started to sound like fiction, quite extreme... (Just to be clear I'm not saying I think it is, I'm saying that it sounds like something that would be in a story, unusual and honestly, unreal...)
@@eglol It could be fiction but before you poo poo it my mom was very similar and I met others. My mom refused to let me take ap courses or college courses my last year of high school despite being a top student (I was able to get into Ap Calc though) she would refuse to let me go to visit college or do the applications online so I had to sneak to the library and do them. She also threw out my w2s in an effort to prevent me from getting financial aid because she was pissed that I had decided to not commute to a college and now she had to take care of herself.
My parents are procrastinators about school and basically everything, so idk how to apply for school and I'm not allowed to get a job even tho I'm legally allowed to have one so :(
Same
Why did you make that long no 1's gonna read that
I was one of those kids who's mom refused to acknowledge I was autistic. I didn't officially find out until I was 26 getting my son tested. By then it was too late for me lol
It's never too late. I found out I have autism at 23yo, and that helped me overcome many problems I had (some still need work) regarding society, college, job, et cetera.
@@pedropimenta896 I'm trying to figure it out, but it's still a struggle
@@damiancrowley569 i know, right? But understanding our condition better will only make us struggle less and less ^^ good luck from Brazil!
@@pedropimenta896 that's definitely true. Another day, another lesson. One thing for me, I have to have at least one headphone in to concentrate on when things start to get overwhelming. If there's too much going on and I don't have my headphones I get overwhelmed so fast, but with music I almost don't at all. Before that, I used drugs to cope. Thankfully though, I've been clean now 8 years
Proud of you both! You guys got this! :)
My grandma was a teacher and one of her neighbors didn't send their kids to school. She asked them why, they told her that they were just going to wait until the kids were old enough for college and send them then. đ€Ł

bruh, ik i was just making a joke, so chill out
Bruh, that first one has me so mad. Imagine so selfish, that you intentionally make your kid fail so they never move out. I guess the daughter does have some blame since for whatever reason, she wouldn't do the work. But ultimately, it's her mom's fault since she likely needed help.
If people really like mowing lawns that much, they would do it on a computer as part of a game, they can come around to my place and mow mine any time they want. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
@@_JoyceArt "work" on a mower like this đ I would love to do that I find it super fun. Regular mower that you have to push can get very tiring work sometimes.
I honestly think that a rideable lawn mover would be pretty fun to use
Sounds like an episode of the Simpsons. Bart and Lisa didn't want to do yard work to earn money to go to the carnival, but as soon as they got to the carnival, they were all about the Virtual Yardwork Simulator they had there.

Other people in the comments, actually taking about the stories.
Me: âWho in the hell cuts grass like that!â
YES!!!
With some of these parents and the way they are, you have to wonder how the hell they managed to finish school. That is if they did.
School isn't a milestone, society will treat it like one... it isn't however.
@@Sarcasshole school is great to get through !! At least pass highschool. Stop being lazy
@@versatileduplicity9313 assuming always makes you look dumb, I've graduated already It's a joke how easy it is
@@LaLiTi He mentioned highschool so I said highschool was easy I would never say college is easy.
Just because it was "easy" for you, doesn't make it easy for everyone else. School IS a milestone and without school we'd all be living in the woods
I am dying watching this person attempt to mow a fucking lawn. It's the opposite of watching the soothing videos of people mowing real lawns! Lol
They need to lower throttle and empty their grass bags.
That first story is heartbreaking. I know I was that difficult kid in school before that didn't turn in homework and my parents knew, and wanting the best for me, they pushed me to do it and turn it in. I could not imagine how betrayed I'd feel if one of my parents took advantage of my inaction so I'd never leave home. It wouldn't surprise me if the daughter moved out as soon as she could after that and cut contact with her mom, and if she wasn't surprised to find out about the divorce. Honestly if it were my kid I'd even help them move out if my partner were willing to set them up to fail like that for their own selfish desires.
I actually had the reverse of this happen to me, where the dumb ones were the teachers. Back in middle school I would get frequent headaches, and add my loud classmates to the mix and I would spend of decent amount of time hold my head and groaning quietly from the pain. Well, while this was happening I was also going through puberty and my voice can get pretty deep, so apparently to my teachers, it sounded like I was growling at my classmates and instead of talking to me about it, they decided to have me eat lunch with the Special Ed kids. I was not happy and it took a few days for them to finally realize I wasn't mentally handicapped.
Special ed doesnât necessarily mean handicapped.
@@mattm8596 No, these were like, going to need help with pretty much anything they're entire lives, Special Ed kids. Like the ones you see strapped to wheelchairs and drooling on themselves disabled. The teachers were comparing me to them.
Damn i would throw hands
@@adrestiaceaser3011 Oh, I didn't realize it was that kind of special ed, sorry you had to go through that. As someone who was in the higher-functioning sped program, I've had similar situations where I was put in meetings with lower-functioning students (like the ones you described), and it just did not feel right.
Before I went to middle school, I was thriving. I was at the top of my class especially for reading and writing and gotten awards. But when I reached middle school, they, immediately upon learning I was deaf, forced me into special ed. They treated me like I was absolutely stupid. They tried to teach me how to read, criticized everything I did, tried to assist me in the bathroom, had an aid follow me EVERYWHERE and tried to do stuff for me that I was very capable of doing, even following me to the carport after school and asking me over and over while pointing at each car, "Is that your mom? Is that your mom?" etc. Then refusing to let me leave when my mom arrived until she confirmed it was her. My self-esteem and confidence dropped like a rock. Especially when they started the gaslighting and lying and doing everything they could to prove I was stupid. The only thing I couldn't do was hear.
To the K-12 charter school teacher who visits the students from home. My daughter transferred from a private to a public school; and while things got better for her, she would have bouts where she just couldnât go to school (or go enough to met the number of attendance days would allow her to get credit for the class). So she was often put on homebound status, with a teacher meeting with each of her teachers, collecting the assignments to be done and delivering them and picking them up to return, and acting as a conduit for communication.
If it werenât for teachers like you, my daughter [who is now in her last semester of *college*] would never have been able to complete high school.
Thank you.
Couldnât?
parents: send their students to school;
also parents: wait wth they do actually learn stuff here?
A lot of these stories were actually really sad. I feel bad for these kids.
So that first story... On the one hand, to hell with the mother for putting her own wishes ahead of the daughter's best interests.
On the other hand, daughter refused to apply herself after multiple chances, didn't bother to try again to graduate, and went into criminal activity. Seriously doubt the Air Force Academy would have been the place for her anyway.
im just gonna say, if the mother was that bad at the start she probably caused her daughter to become depressed and thus she had a bad life
@@Ame.IsRain I agree. As one whose parents pulled the same BS, it messes with your head and takes a lot to get past.
Why are you cutting the grass that short. You're choking the mower so hard.
Edit: EMPTY YOUR GRASS BAGS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AAAAAA

My friendâs mom taught elementary school, and she regularly had to have conversations with parents, fathers in particular, about not throwing away their daughterâs homework before she could complete it and turn it in. Apparently these men figured that their daughterâs only purpose was to get hitched and have babies, so learning the basics wasnât necessary. It was really sad to think about.
UGH!!!!! Iâd hate to live with a father with THAT attitude! Live, girlsâŠâŠthereâs so much more to
life then marriage!!!! đ
When I was 15 I was volunteering at a very small private K-12 inner city school where my mom worked for school credit so I could graduate faster. One day at recess there was a drive by shooting. My mom started screaming and ran past several kids, even knocking one over, to get inside the building. I stayed with the little kids to protect and help them. I ended up covering one with my own body until the bullets stopped. No one ended up getting hurt--no thanks to my mom. By the time the parents came to pick up their children she'd decided on a plan to deflect attention from her abject cowardice and flagrant dereliction of duty. She took the time to explain to the parents that even though I'd thrown a kid to the ground and had been lying on top of the child, it wasn't any kind of SA. She didn't think I could hear her because I wasn't in the room but I was in an adjoining room out of view so I heard everything. The parents and other teachers were absolutely shocked and disgusted with her that she'd even suggest that since it was so obvious from context what was going on and the response was basically asking her what the hell was wrong with her.
So uh, good job mom, you successfully managed to deflect the conversation from your personal failings to your disgusting and unnecessary personal attack on me, not for the first time. I ended up going no-contact with her.
I think that facing death is one of the circumstances that lays bare your true soul and brings out who you *really* are inside. It forces you to drop all the lies and facade you've built around yourself. I take great comfort in the fact that when that happened, I proved that I was a better person than my mom. No matter what lies she tells about me, no matter how she attacks me, no matter what emotional scars I have from her, nothing can change the fact that my truest self is a better person than she could ever be.
Bro deserves 10k likes for this captain underpants long comment
That girl that had a seizure and a helicopter mom is such a mood, and I'm glad everyone benefits from her trolling
And itâs good to see how she recognized how overbearing and shadowing her mother was. That can be really difficult for children to realize.
That's the first time I've heard a sentence like that. "Everyone benefits from her trolling."
In the fist case, I was expecting to hear that the mother had said "She DOES her homework! She washes the dishes, folds the clothes when they're taken out of the dryer, and vacuums all the rooms, and any other homework I ask her to do."
My Mom kept me out of school for nearly 2 months in high school one year, because she was lonely. I waver between anger and pity.
â@@veramae4098she had no right to do that! Your future is more important!
Mom: My son failing is your fault, not his!
Teacher: I know you're growing marijuana.
Mom: *Realization* (Oh shit.)

Story #25 the mom was probably abused herself and was repeating what the boys father had said or he told her to say that. I was in an abusive relationship and my husband insisted on subpar parenting especially with his teachers. He told me to say things I knew were not true but thankfully I left him and we are divorced now and he doesnât have our son
My personal OBSERVATIONS in a simmilar situation to the first storry, some parents instead of creating an environment- where kids want to go back to, surround them with "dangers". It's a shortsighted strategy, becouse if the kid experiences life outside those fictional boundaries he doesn't want to go back, and sees parents as oppressors. Seen this from my own perspective and from a side too many times.
"My daughter didn't cheat I did!" đđ
Story 14 reminded me of a mental disorder I read about once.
The basic gist is that people believe that someone they know was replaced with an identical doppelganger, likely with ill intent.
I find it really fascinating how the mind can just break in that way, where it seems plausible that anyone had the resources to just replace people for the sole purpose of f*cking with a random nobody, but I really hope she got the help she needs.
Capgrass Syndrome
Usually resultant from some kind of TBI
Me and 2 of my friends get this. For us and many others itâs the same as OCD (which is part of why I experience this) where we know itâs illogical and isnât true. But we have this overwhelming anxiety pushing us to act accordingly as a just in case thing. Thereâs always this evil little âbut what ifâ thought when it happens
It's still idiotic because she was trying to argue with the purported imposters who wouldn't have any interest in confirming her allegations either way. The better way to investigate is to instead alert someone outside the immediate group of supposed imposters.
I wonder if Story 10âs student was intentionally failing to spite his mother.
The first one kinda made me tear up. That student probably had big dreams and really knew what they wanted to do, but the selfish parents literally ruined any chance she had at getting to those dreams.
I had flat earth parents yell at me while I was in student teaching. They wanted to teach âboth sidesâ of the issue. I laughed in their faces. I was officially reprimanded to check boxes, but the teacher and principal told me they would have done the same.
Story 14, i couldn't figure out if that was a joke post or if this lady was playing real life Among Us. I was waiting until everyone voted her off the ship
17:22 I was a freshman and sophomore with intense school anxiety and this boils my blood.
So did my daughter, my sympathies.
#5 certainly hit home for me. I was not upset about finding out that I was diagnosed with autism as a child. FINALLY a lot of the difficulties I had had as a teenager and as an adult made sense, as they were related to someone who has autism. What I was upset about was that NO ONE told me ~ for 45+ YEARS!
Bruh I wanted to watch this video, but the first story had me seeing red hot rage. You didn't just stop your kid from moving away, you literally ruined her life. There's a reason I've suffered from chronic homelessness and have struggled to hold and keep a job. My parents had an extensive history of drug abuse and alcoholism and I was forced to drop our of school to work and make sure my 3 other siblings were fed and taken care of, and eventually got split up by CS and I haven't seen any of them in 7 years. At least the next eldest sibling, my sister, is in college now studying nursing so she can care for the elderly, and my other 2 siblings are being well taken cared off. But I received the brunt force of the effects of their drug abuse, and haven't been able to make a life for myself since. I'm making this post on family day (its a holiday were i live, where people celebrate and spend time with family) on an empty stomach
Sorry that your was hard. But don't be harder on yourself. Make it better, something to live for. Fill your stomach and be proud. You did good. Much love and hug.
Wishing you lots of energy and that you are seen by someone in your area and find a way to a safe and happier life.
If you feel like receiving a hug
Put your right Hand on your left shoulder
And your left hand on your right shoulder
Arms tight to the body
Close your eyes and feel the hug đ€
OhhhâŠso this is all about YOU.
Got it.
â@@MakeWay4CJWTF? He is just explaining why that first story resonated with him.
@@zombiekidcrazy Had he simply said what you said-that the 1st story resonated with him because of his upbringing it would be one thing. But when he writes a full paragraph going into depth about what he's currently going through including having an empty stomach, it goes beyond just explaining that something resonated with him and seems more like he's simply participating in the "sympathy Olympics".
Who ever is playing the game in the background has never mowed a lawn in theyâre entire life.
Story 14 mom probably has Capgras Delusion. I hope she recovers.
Reminds me to never hire you to mow my lawn đ€Ł
Who is driving that mower? It's driving me nuts.
I am responding about the parent who did not want her child to be tested for autism. She might have been thinking that she did not want her child to be labeled. That might work out OK while they are attending grades pre k through 12, but in most states all students have the right to a free public education until their 22nd birthday. Without the testing it can be difficult to get them in to any program.
It's really not ok k-12 either. Getting "labeled" also means you get the help you need. You can't be given accommodations (including extra help geared towards specific learning disabilities) if you don't have something that says you need them. I wish I'd been diagnosed with ADHD as a kid instead of as an adult so I could have learned coping strategies when I was younger before I came up with my own, less effective, ways of coping with it. A grown ass adult, both my parents are dead, and I just found out this year that I have ADHD and the more I learn about it, the more I say "oh, that's why I do that."
The lawn mowing graphics are killing me. Like who mows like that?
Amen and hallelujah. đ€Ł
The story of the mom bursting into a testing room also probably negates the tests of every student in that room.
Mom can't control her three year old. Uhhhh, that is her excuse to NOT do anything.
Story 5. The moms in denial and I understand. When I was born my mom and dad knew immediately that something was different about me. At first I was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder untill I was in my teens when I was diagnosed autistic. When my aunt had her baby and he was way behind for the first couple of years I said maybe he has autism like me. She got mad but didn't show it because she's nice. I was right on the money. A year later he was diagnosed autistic at age 3 1/2. She's told me she got mad because no parent want to be told their child will have a tough time. But she says she happy i said that or they might have not made the move to get him diagnosed so soon. Honestly I'm so happy that kids can be diagnosed so early now. My cousin will have the proper help and care he needs for his whole life
Edit: of course this dosent excuse the parents behavior but I can understand
I had to pause after the first story. I wasn't allowed to go off to college, only a community college. My 2nd oldest sister told my mom that girls only go to college so that they can sleep with people and get pregnant with multiple children and she believed it. My mom didn't graduate high school at all and she's beyond an idiot. She also has the handwriting of a first grader and you have to talk to her in the most simplest of vocabulary. My mother beat me until the age of 20. I was severely sheltered, I wasn't taught anything but I'm shocked I did graduate with my class. I remember failing 2 courses in high school because that same sister told my mom that my courses were on witchcraft (it was Algebra and Chemistry smh). I used to have to sneak and do my homework for those classes. I was forced to rip all of my college applications and acceptance letters in the kitchen or the beatings wouldn't stop. My dad didn't even know this was going on but he figured it out later. Fast forward, yes I'm somewhat slow in the blooming department as an adult but dad's been dead for over 10 years and it's just mama and I at home and I'm the one she relies on. Mama didn't really change until I got sick with a diseased gallbladder at 24 and dad's cancer got worse at the same exact time. Her having to deal with two sick people shook her up a bit. I'm finally gonna be finishing my bachelors at the end of this year in my 30s, and I can FINALLY.....FINALLY FINALLY!.....go to Berklee College of Music next year, which is what I was trying to do back in 2004. It was a tie between NYU and Berklee. Sad that it took me years to get there but I'm finally going. I wish parents stop doing this to their children. It's absolutely heartbreaking.
The first story is so fucked up imagine being so selfish that you want your child to fails that they wonât have a successful future just because you canât stand the thought of letting go of them. That mother ruined her daughterâs life. Itâs a good thing that the dad divorced her.
I am the weird one. If I study for a test, I fail. But if I just read the chapter once and ignore everything else, I will ace the test. Don't ask me why, I have no idea how it goes.
I've had enough dumb-parent experiences to make me retire from teaching for good.
Say it with me.
Autism is not a disease.
Autistic kids are not stupid.
They can care, they can love
They can thrive in the world like anyone else.
Having autism doesn't mean your broken. It means you see the world differently. Parents, don't let your child suffer because of misinformation about autism. The doctor diagnosed me at 6 and said I would be a burden. I would never learn, love, graduate, and my parents would forever take care of me. I am now graduating, I have had relationships, I can love, and I can care. I have my own apartment with 2 very cute cats.. I am not a robot. I just don't function well in high stress or loud areas. Just give me time to adjust.
No, some are stupid. It's not a superpower or anything u should want. I've literally met an autistic man who couldn't understand that he shouldn't be m**sturbating in public
Watching you mow that little lawn in that amount of time is actually frustating^^
It is lawn mowing simulator the physics are slightly janky
I worked with kids aged 1-3 years. There was a fair amount of children with autistic behaviors. I encountered two types of parents: (1) in total denial regarding the childâs behavior (2) parents wanted the autistic diagnosis so they could get a check from the state
My best friend's cousin has really debilitating dyslexia, and she wasn't able to get help for it until college because her parents were extremely strict and absolutely refused to believe their daughter had a learning disability. They didn't even believe dyslexia was a thing. So she was illiterate for most of her childhood. And if that wasn't bad enough for her, the family immigrated from Bosnia when she was little, so she couldn't read in either language. So double the work.
Iâm so sorryâŠ..how sad and debilitating for that young girl!
4:20 My mother had much the same reaction. Guidance counselor tells her that I might have ADHD and I should be checked and that I was suicidal. She just flipped out on him and refused to allow me to see him anymore. He was right on both accounts and all she did was take a resource that gave me the slightest bit of relief away from me.
"Are you calling my Mom a liar?"
I actually had a boss once, who looked a lady dead in the eye and said, "Yes ma'am, I am" when asked if she was calling her a liar.
Best story is teacher who wanted to have kid held back because theu would ensure that the kid would get the needed extra help the following year. Teacher, of course, was not even around next year because they moved out of state, but I'm sure they would have stuck around had the student been held back.
#22 if the kid doesn't have to do anything, then why is he there ?
Numbers, kids failing out of school makes a school look bad, and funding often depends on the number of students in a school.
So even if kids don't show up, can't read or write etc. It still makes the most sense for the school to do everything they can to get them to graduate.
I was held back and had to repeat grade 3. Part of the way through that year we moved for my dad's work. I was bullied soooo badly in NY for being a year older than everyone. I see the parents' view, but the teacher was right.
These stories remind me despite how lackluster my parents are
I love all the same and how right they raised me
My father was the Principal of a High School. The parent who made the biggest impression on him in his long career was the mother who stood up in a PTA meeting to complain that the school cafeteria had had the nerve to serve her Little Prince the heel of a loaf of bread,
Story 14: Looks like that parent plays too much among usđ
Story 18 đđđđ how they got quiet when the teacher told the parents he knew they was growing weed at home is priceless
The worst person is the guy mowing the lawn in the visual - definitely not the brightest bulb ... !
"seizure syndrome" it's called epilepsy lol
If the child had only actually "had" one "seizure" it probably wasn't epilepsy.
The one with the girl faking seizures when her mum becomes too overbearing, is worrying. It could lead to her receiving inappropriate medication for a medical condition she doesnât have. Also, she could have seizure disorder or similar on her medical records and find it hard to shake it.
How about the teacher encourage the family to get professional help to improve their relationship.
I don't get it: if a student's paper is missing a page, why isn't the first step to talk to the student?
Okay, I think we all learned something today.
Never, EVER, hire the narrator to mow your lawn.
In all honesty, WHO TF LOVES MOWING LAWNS SO MUCH THAT THAT THEY MAKE A CAME OUT OF IT, *AND WHO TF IS PLAYING THAT GAME BY CHOICE?*
I couldn't stand the lawnmower anymore. Just. Find. A. Pattern. And don't leave patches!
These stories sound like every day of my like as a teacher.
Its stories like these that make me think teachers are unseen heroes, I couldn't imagine having to de with people like this on a regular basis
Unless you've been one, you'll never really know. And even the stories don't do it justice. Some days end in a mind-numbing, stunned silence. And weeping -- often weeping. I've seen my own daughter and her co-workers literally brought to tears by clueless and insensitive cretans, both administration and parents alike.
I had a student whos parents came to parent teachers conference high and reeking of weed. Explained a lot about that students behavior in retrospect.
Story 16+My experience: bottling up emotions sucks, itâs better to let them out and be embarrassed than having a thousand pounds on your shoulders all the time
watching the lawn mowing sim gameplay in the background gave me a headache the entire time đ
I felt like I could cut grass IRL with my push mower faster and more competently than that, tbh. Push mowers get *really* short cuts.
@@impishrebel5969 I had such a struggle watching that I had to play Lawn Mowing Sim again and complete a few contracts just to sure it really wasn't that hard of a game

There are better ways to keep your kid out of the air force than making them fail high school...
Working as a substitute teacher, I once overheard a Mom tell her son (who happened to be an abominable, disciplinary problem) that he" didn't have to listen to those people (the faculty and staff), they weren't his parents. He only had to listen to her.
YIKES! Is all I can say!
First one is rather sad. Why would a parent want his or her child to fail?
Because some people consider kids to be their property, not human beings.
TOXIC ENTITLED _"PARENTS"_
Our daughter was an elementary school teacher for many years. Of all the stories about parent interaction, the two "buckets" that sadden us the most are (1) the parents that are completely delusional about their child's abilities and struggles, particularly the ones that are most likely to be 'on the spectrum' and could use all the help they can get (the stories about "I absolutely will not get my kid tested - they're perfectly fine" ring so, so true).
And (2) the parents that are polar opposites of one another in terms of their philosophy towards raising and educating their children. Palpable tension that frustrates and confuses the child, more often than not causing them to just shut down and shrivel up.
loving the video so far but i cannot help but notice..how can you be bad at a lawnmower game lol. anyone else noticing it xD
lol, I wasn't watching. Now I'm just wondering why there is a lawnmower game. He's probably not overly concerned with his lawnmower game ranking.
@@Primalxbeast i would not choose to play games like that but i feel like my brain would force me to be super clean with it lol, lawnmower sim speedrun here i come
It is driving me CRAZY. How can someone be this terrible at mowing a damn lawn?!
I'm sorry but the way you were playing the grass cutting game was killing me
I love how he makes all the moms sound like smoker moms đ
bro, that first story is really fucked up. The mom actively contributed to her daughter's downfall.
Child in Story 17 is a savage â ïž
This video has inspired me to be a better child and be better at school so I don't become a idiot like the parents in this video.
You have no idea how mad I was when he got 60.9% done with the yard and restarted.
My son could read before kindergarten, the teacher started calling him her little Einstein. At the 1st parent/teacher conference the teacher told me that our son was not making friends. I asked her if she had any idea why, she said no, I then asked do you think it has anything to do with you calling him your little Einstein. I was not out to embarrassed the teacher but she turned beet red, I then told her to stop singling him out. The next conference I asked if his friend group had improved, and she was happy to say yes. It was cute at first that my son was being called le but it was causing other students to keep away from him because the teacher treated him differently. We made surprise visits to his class just to monitor him, he had many friends and was doing much better in school.
âAssistant Band Director in a high schoolâ is a job???? How much photocopying and distributing of new reeds can one need?? Omg
And yes, I played in our high school band. And yes, we corralled ourselves and rehearsed ourselves so we could be good. And yes, we were good.
In Story 26, the "Let's fix the Homecoming Queen vote" story, it sounds like that member of the band booster organization has a thing for the girl he wants to be the Homecoming Queen.
If this is an adult we're talking about, I would have looked into that VERY carefully.
The first story is absolutely despicable. How you could do your own child dirty like that is unthinkable.
Oh my god the first one is despicable! Imagine ruining your child's life just to hover over them-
I understand maybe not wanting your child to be in the military, but in doing what that mom did, she likely ruined her relationship with her
I remember, so vividly, two lasses from my public school. They seemed to HATE each other, constantly arguing and glaring. One of them was a constant nail biter, and sometimes asked me if she could borrow the squishy toy I used to stim; I did. She was really nervous, and I couldnât tell why. One parent teacher community thing was going on one night, I was there with my parents. I saw the two girls and their parents. Their parents were really snobby, dismissive and couldnât stand one another. I kind of wrote it off as âoh, they picked it up from their folks, makes sense.â That all changed a couple of months later. I was staying behind for office hours, and went to use the john. I was a paranoid kid, so I just as wary of any noises I didnât recognize. Then, I heard some noises from the broom closet, which was unlocked (janitors sometimes lost their keys. I was actually prone to finding them, lol, since I liked shiny things). Curious and scared, I grabbed a heavy book from my pack, and threw the door open, book over my head. I guess I was expecting see someone getting murdered or something, I dunno, but instead it was the two girls. Not doing anything wrong, just sitting in the closet, playing on their phones and kinda cuddling. The girl I was familiar with begged me not to tell the teachers, and me, being the shit stirrer I am, asked âwhat the fuck are you doing in a broom closetâ. Then, they both spilled the beans. Turns out they used to go to the same Catholic private school, and they developed crushes on each other. When the teachers found out⊠rulers got involved, and the two girls changed schools. After a couple of bounces, they ended up in the same public school. They fought publicly cause they were terrified of any teachers outing them to their parents, or worse stuff happening if other kids found out. I was openly asexual (since most people didnât know what that meant i didnât get much grief), so I think thatâs one of the reasons one of the girls kind of wandered over to me. They begged me not to say anything, and I vowed to not tell a soul. I moved schools two years later⊠I really wish I knew what happened to them. I hope theyâre ok, cause no one deserves to have to hide who they are, let alone fight who they love, to avoid the homophobia of their parents, especially when thinking all teachers had eyes on them. Itâs bloody horrible.
The one with the dad in jail makes me so mad because she literally said he abusive to her and then she moves out of state with him like why not divorce and move out of state where he wonât find her
17:10 That is not where I thought that was going.
I was expecting the "tattoos" to be severely inappropriate, but I think what actually happened is even funnier.
My dadâs girlfriend is a teacher who had plenty stories that make you just question if humanity is sane enough to survive.
But hereâs two.
One mom threatened another kid to send the dog after him if he ever went after her child again. They were simply playing chasing each other.
Thereâs was this other kid who always wanted attention from the teacher, and she told him one day to shut it and then just ignored him for the rest off the day.
Next afternoon his parents come to her saying that he feels super depressed because she has been neglecting him. Sheâs still baffled by these parents.
She was also often yelled at by some idiot parents because she had to raise her voice sometimes to discipline some bad behaved brats.
Wife was a teacher's aid in first grade and had a student who's homework was Obviously being done by her grandmother. And when asked, the grandmother denied it. So the teacher would send double homework back for both child and grandmother. Was told by the principle.
My mother took me to the Marine Recruiter on the day I graduated and told me to sign up. Three years later, I'm a Sergeant, and I'm reenlisting, she blames me for my dad having to retire because I hadn't been home to keep the business going. Some mothers are crazy, but they are mom.
