Parents Share The Moments They Realized Their Kids Might Be Horrible People (35 Posts)
People are very quick to judge a “bad parent,” often using only the most barebones of methods. A kid using an iPad, or perhaps loudly scrolling TikTok in a public place. After all, the parent is generally responsible for how a child behaves, but it’s also worth exploring the cases where children do really have a mind of their own.
Someone asked “Parents, what was your oh god I’ve raised a monster moment?” and people shared their stories. Be warned, some are a bit disturbing. So get settled in as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to add your thoughts and reactions to the comments section down below.

I used my kid’s bathroom because my wife was in ours. The toilet paper was on the roll backwards. I asked them which kid did it, they responded it didn’t really matter which way it’s on the roll. I recoiled in horror.

My thought exactly. When I had my daughter my mom had just one request. "Please don't let anyone give her any Dallas Cowboys toys." She was an Eagles fan. My mom passed away decades ago but I am proud to say neither my daughter nor my granddaughter have ever had anything related to the Dallas Cowboys.

My 11 yr old son recently called 911 and said I slapped him. CPS came, it was a cluster. It was so well orchestrated, he even took a picture of himself with a red mark on his face. I didn't slap him and it eventually got debunked although he still won't admit it. A couple months later, he told his dad I forced him to make the ol' dirty 2 finger licking gesture, take a pic and send it to him.
He lives with his dad now, and isn't allowed here until I can afford a camera system. Still unclear on a motive.

That's such a terrifying situation. We used to have a kid (about 7-8 years old) like that in my old neighborhood. He used to just walk into people's houses and do whatever he wanted; watch tv, use the swimming pool, eat their food, whatever. One time, he went into our garage and turned on my father's power saw and tried to cut up a hammer handle. When the homeowner kicked him out, he would run and tell his parents that the neighbor assaulted him. They knew it wasn't true because he had called the police on them when they tried to discipline him for his behavior at home. He would routinely hurl himself into a door jamb or a pole to bruise his face and then tell his teachers that his folks beat him. The teachers would see him hurt himself, so they didn't believe him either. All attempts at counseling failed. The last I heard, the kid eventually ended up in prison for some unknown offense.

Not me but my parents. My brother was always the naughty one. Shoplifting as a kid, mouthing off at school etc. But I think when they realized he was a genuinely bad person was when he stole a bunch of stuff out of some old guys cabin and then burned it down so he wouldn't get caught.
Spoiler alert: He got caught anyways because he pawned it all at our local pawn shop and they had his name and caught him on camera.

Lol I knew a dude in high school stole a bunch of stuff, but was smart enough to know he would be traced back from a p**n shop. But he wanted cash. So he convinced someone else, one of his "buddies" to p**n it for him and split the profits. Buddy gets brought in a week or two later and immediately points a finger, they go and find other reported goods in dudes car. The duped seller got off scot free (not normal, police were being nice there for pointing the finger).

My 6 year old has always had weird interests. She asked me to show her pictures of what's in our bodies. I showed her diagrams on Google, and she said, "no, I mean inside of a REAL body." 😳 I showed her some random picture of an arm surgery and she was begging for more.
Also she always asks me to stop so she can look at animals that were hit on the road.
We're really pushing for the medical field and not a serial criminal field.
Edit: I feel as though I need to add this to the original comment. She has never shown any signs of aggression or desire to hurt people/animals. She is a very sweet child and doesn't even like it when we squish bugs or cut down the weeds in our yard! She shows respect for life, but is DEFINITELY interested in bodies. I am a science teacher and my wife is a nurse, so we definitely encourage her interest in science!

I firmly believe my oldest is a sociopath. There’s lots and lots of things that make me believe it, but since there’s not exactly a black/white test, there’s no way to prove it. He has no conscience and hasn’t since he was old enough to feel guilt, near as I can tell. He is 30, twice divorced for beating his wives and totally ignores his daughters whilst giving everything possible to his son.
I blamed myself for years but my younger two are so different than my oldest, I just don’t know if it’s my fault or not.

He sounds like a psychopath. Their brains are wired differently, and while you can definitely teach them what's right and what's wrong you'll never be able to make them feel guilty or ashamed for hurting others. It would be like trying to teach a blind person to see. Read "The psychopath Inside", by James Fallon.

Sociopath is raised. Psychopath is born. So if he's always been like this and parents didn't "damage" him, then he's a psychopath.

Interesting that he values his son (not a psychopathic trait, but sometimes associated with a 'only likes one person' tendency in sociopathy). Could be malignant narcissism, especially if he sees his son as a representation of himself, constantly forces others to praise them both, and destroys anyone who questions his superiority. A sociopath simply doesn't care about anything or anybody, and seeks to manipulate, subvert and destroy as entertainment.

There was an interesting book I read about Nancy Spungeon - Spurgeon? - , the girl who tried to k**l her mom with a hammer when she was 12. The book said she was a "blue baby". She was blue when she was born because she didn't get enough oxygen to her brain. That's what they figured turned her into a psychopath. Apparently a lot of kids that are screwed up this way are the way they are because of nothing more than brain damage they got before or when they were born. And it makes sense. People who have strokes sometimes change personalities, too.
Kkg 1 week ago
Or it was just a coincidence. There is a very small correlation between being born as a blue baby and being diagnosed with psychopathy later in life. There is a connection, it can increase chances, but it's most probably not a deciding component.

Years ago, my wife and I had a very heated argument. Our daughter overhears us and comes into the room just as things hit their peak. My wife rushes into the bathroom crying. I'm left sitting on the bed feeling low, listening to my wife sob on the other side of the door. Our daughter looks up at me with a smile and says "Mommy's crying" and proceeds to laugh loud enough for mom to hear. And with that, I was in trouble for something entirely new.

When my son was 13 or 14, we were chatting about how as kids get older, and parents become elderly, often the kids become a care-giver to some degree to the parent. My son offhandedly remarked that he’d be looking for the cheapest nursing home at which to park me.

I absolutely made jokes like that when I was a kid/teen, maybe even young adult. I'm in my 50s now. I was a care giver to my mother and now that she's gone, I would give anything for just one more day of taking care of her. I'm am effectively my dad's care giver now, though he is still fully mobile and independent. He just can't drive (neuropathy) which is fine because he can't shop either. Can't cook, do laundry or light house cleaning either, because he is a man.

That’s a lot of stress to put on a kid that age. You haven’t even gotten a start in life or had a chance to be independent, and your parent is already implying they’ll hold you down (what a kid hears). My mom did this “Will you share your last bean with me” c**p all the time when I was a kid, and it flipped me out. Kids aren’t your insurance policy, and telling them that will be their job when they’re older is too much stress. Honestly, what your kid said is a way of handling anxiety.

Good point about maturity. But also: lots of kids with ASD can make comments like this, not out of callousness, but as a result of an informational and logical mind coupled with lack of social understanding. Correct response? Teach them them social reactions, perspective-taking and expected phrases in these situations. Individuals with ASD often have huge amounts of emotional empathy, but they just don't process social conventions.

When I was born I had two teenage sisters and oodles of aunts and uncles to smother me with attention.
Three years later my little sister was born and all that went away. I went from being a very happy child to being fairly dark and moody.
There is a family story that a few months after my little sister was born my parents were out and my grandmother was babysitting. The story goes that she caught me going into the baby's room with a claw-hammer. When she asked what I was doing I just stared silently at her for several seconds then answered sullenly "nothing" dropped the claw hammer to the floor and sulked off to my room.

When I was a baby my older sister (four years older than me) tried to put a fork through the soft area of my skull because she wanted me gone. When I was around four or five, she fed me cleaning chemicals from under the sink in our new house (the old home owners stuff was still everywhere). I’m not sure how or why I survived, or what she fed me. Within the next ten years, she would ‘fight’ me with slaps and scratches. After that, she turned to bullying. Weirdly, this is all discounted by my mother, who insists my sister loves me to bits. I don’t know if these things are common between siblings, but I can empathise.

I find these stories so interesting because my experience has been the opposite. My kids have been excited and super happy to get a new sibling. When I had the second, oldest rarely left her side for months. The baby was like his new safety blanket. As long as the baby was near, big brother felt like the world was his oyster. When I had the 3rd both the older ones were over the moon and both asked to stay in the delivery suite to greet him. They both felt his head as he emerged.They would hold him and coo at him everyday. When my sister was born, I remember feeling as my kids did. I also remember being *extremely* upset that no one woke me at 1am when my mom went into lanor. I missed the first 5 or 6 hours of my sister's life. I couldn't stand being separated from her at first. She was such a miracle I wanted to cuddle with her as much as I could.

Many years ago I started working for a guy who was a single dad with two boys, then aged about 11 and 13. The older one was a nice kid, the younger one was a problem. Shoplifting, truancy, lying, etc. My boss actually warned me to keep my wallet on my person when he was around.
One day he told me that when the boys were 2 and 4 he and his then wife were delivering a couple of cars to a city that was a couple of days drive. They had pulled off the highway into the scrub to sleep for the night.
In the morning found that "someone" had turned on the headlights of one car during the night and the battery was flat.
He went out to the highway and eventually flagged down someone who had jumper leads and was willing to drive off into the scrub with a rough looking stranger.
Got the car started and the guy drove off. He left the car to take a leak and the younger son reached over and turned off the key.

My three year old was given a small fisher price trampoline for his birthday. It's like three feet in diameter. A few months later, we got invited to take him to Sky Zone, which is a giant indoor warehouse that is wall to wall trampolines. It's awesome. So my wife turns to my son and says, "Hey buddy, do you want to go to the trampoline place?"
Without missing a beat, my kid rolls his eyes at her, jerks his thumb towards the fisher price one, and says, in the most condescending tone a three year old could muster, "I have one.".

Before my son could crawl he learned how to climb the extra tall baby gate.
Before he could walk he climbed the window sill
Before he could run he climbed the bunk bed
Before he could open an applesauce container he learned how to unlock the front door
I’m not sure what moment made me think “yep. He’s a monster”
It might have been when I almost witnessed Harambe 2. I ducked down for ten seconds to tie his sister’s shoe and when I looked up he had one leg over the barrier ready to go say hello. He’s 2 by the way.
Or it might have been when I resigned myself to the leash. I brought it home, prepared for the protests. Instead he declared himself a puppy dog, made his siblings play police with him for two hours while he “sniffed out the bad guys” then gleefully showed me how easy it was for him to take the thing off.
I give up guys.

I tried a harnass with my little escape artist. She very quickly caught on to the disapproval of bystanders and would lie on the ground, clutching the straps, yelling, "Ow, mommy! Hurts, mommy!" She's 4o now and still a stinker.

Yeah, I used to train dogs that would lay down and roll over and refuse to walk on a leash. Dragging them a couple of yards was usually enough to change their minds. That would probably work on kids, too. But also, most people are gonna be a******s about leashes you put on kids. If you don't care about their opinions, chances are your daughter wouldn't either. But if you internalize someone else's disapproval, I'm not surprised she took advantage of that. If you're a parent, "I don't care..." (what someone else thinks, what Tony's mom does, what my mother says, etc...), has to be a big part of your vocabulary.

My sister was like this. She had had two concussions by the time she was 18 months, from climbing and falling off things. My mum had already used the leash on my brother 7 years before, and she needed it even more with my sister. One day in church, she ran across the front towards my grandma in the choir pit and there was an audible gasp when she nearly knocked over a vase of flowers. Thankfully when she was prescribed meds for her ADHD, she settled down a bit. Mum wouldn't say she was a monster, but she still struggles to understand her because her ADHD and ASD affect her problem solving skills and ability to look after herself (she's in her mid 20s now).

Sounds like they’re parroting what adults have said around them. I have a cousin who did the same when he was younger. His parents hated each other and for the first several years of his life he grew up around that. One time during some island tour trip we took together with several other relatives, the men went off to buy the boat tickets while the women and kids stayed back at the beach. His mum was joking with the other women about how she wants to push her husband overboard once the boats are out at sea. My cousin who was around 3/4 at the time heard this and kept repeating it for the next several hours, saying “let’s push dad off the boat” and laughing at it. I was a kid myself but I felt so uncomfortable that a kid would say something like that about his own dad after hearing from his mom.

When my daughter was naughty as a pre- schooler we used to put her in the kitchen for a timeout. We had a safety gate on the doorway and as long as nothing was cooking in there it was like a holding pen for her. Well she started to ask to go to the toilet as soon as she was put in there. At first she was allowed to go but pretty soon it became clear she was just using the toilet excuse to get out of the timeout early. The first time I told her she could go to the toilet after timeout (which usually only last a few minutes) she proceeded to pee on the kitchen floor in retaliation. She has a terrible temper. She's 15 now it's still there.

My 8 year old son had gotten a plastic baseball bat from me and my wife, this plastic baseball bat wasn’t just some weak plastic it actually was pretty hard. Well one day I walk outside to see my younger 5 year old daughter screaming and running from my 8 year old son who is holding the baseball bat and wacking her wherever he can, he was wearing my jeans, had a bandana on and a baseball cap on backwards. He kept calling himself a cool kid and wouldn’t stop wacking her. I ran over and stopped him and my Wife took our daughter inside to get an ice pack. I took the bat away and asked him why he was hitting her, and I repeat exactly what he said “because I’m a cool kid and cool kids show there siblings who’s the leader, daddy”. He got grounded for a week and after he was done with the grounding he told me he was very sorry, he wasn’t finished... A month later I find him running around with a plastic sword in a ninja costume from last Halloween and wacking my daughter again! I ran over, stopped him, my daughter ran off, and when I asked him why he hit her this time he said “because it’s fun”. He got grounded for a very long time, and I realized then he needed counseling. He is now 20 and my daughter is 17, my son had come over for dinner one night and some how that was brought up, he denied the entire thing even though before that he said he remembered counseling! I just hope he doesn’t raise his newborn son to be a karate master

I have two sons. One is 11 and the other 7. The 7 year old is...special. Highly intelligent and very social. But also does a lot of deep thinking. Early one Sunday morning he came up to me, out of the blue, and said:
"Dad, how do ducks work?"
I was all "how to what? What? Ducks? Huh" in a half sleep state. Before I could work out what he wanted to know he said: "I guess if I open one up, I'll find out?" and walked away.
Honestly spent a good hour looking for ducks and watched him carefully when he went near the kitchen utensils.
EDIT: Oh yeah, there was also the time when he learned how to float in a pool after watching a documentary about ship wrecks. He could swim but never relax and float on his back. He can now, he just pretends to be a body floating away. Thanks YouTube.
