40 People Spill The Tea On The Weirdest Rules They Were Unfortunate Enough To See Enforced

Oh, and of course they deny it. Just like my parents, they can never admit any wrong doings. I hope you cut them the f**k out like a bad appendix.

Yeah... I've yet to meet an abuser who owns up to the s**t they've put people through.

That's why I don't have religion. I like science.

my parents are super religious, and they’ve always been very reasonable, even explaining why they see things the way they do. there are a few things i’m not allowed to watch, but it’s all reasonable to me. Not all religious parents suck, but there are a lot.

Yeah, parents will f**k up and then say it didn't happen; your only mandate as a parent, is to be far better than them and also, apologize if your kid tells you that you messed up. Because no one is perfect. But if you've done better than they did, then you can't do worse.

Aw I know the feeling hon. I really wish I heard a "I"m proud of you." "Good job, that's great." every now and then, I'm desperate for any praise since I never got any. Edit: This is why I love Bored Panda. Love y'all

My daughter struggles in a couple classes in high school. I was that kid who never had to study because it all came easy to me, so I don't know how to help her. I had her start going to afterschool and honor society study programs and she brought her grade up to a C+. We hooted and hollered and had high fives, just like any A in classes she excels in... She did her best and that is all we can ask for in life. If they are doing their best effort, we should encourage and celebrate that.

My son had a good friend, diagnosed with ADHD in the early 90s. His parents asked if he could come do his homework at ours, so, yes of course he can. They warned me he could be unruly and not pay attention, but I enjoyed teaching maths my way which made it fun. The guy told my son, "Your dad is so cool! Does he ever get angry?" James told him, yes, and he asked "How do you know?" "He gets really quiet and stares at you, so you understand." He was a nice guy and he enjoyed doing homework with us. He told me his mum and dad were always angry and shouting which is why he liked studying with James. I felt so bad for him and there was nothing I could do to help.

My mom: "Why didn't you get an A+?" Me: "There was no extra credit question." My mom: "Well, you should have asked the teacher for extra credit." Pro Tip: When even the best doesn't make you happy, people will stop trying their best.

Gut wrenching.💔

Way to enable your spoiled little brat, I'm sure they won't have trouble adjusting to the real world at all when they're grown

I put my kids to bed at 9pm every night, school night or not, so I can enjoy 2-3 hours of "adult time" ( watching r rated movies, gaming, or just reading a book without interruptions)

I knew a family whose rule was no makeup until your 12, but when one of the girls turned 12 she had to wait for her sister, who's two years behind her. Yes, you don't nessisarily NEED makeup at 12, but it still sucks to think you can have somthing and not

That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard in my life! I would have laughed too.

I actually think that is awesome. Because of family members staying up having on bright screens and being loud I will have insomnia until the day I die. Which is coming sooner because of insomnia. Now everyone having to go to bed is extreme but having a quiet time is totally understandable.

"I carried you for 9 months." "I put a roof over your head.". Great. Awesome. You did the bare minimum of what you are supposed to do. I didn't ask to be born, not my fault someone's pullout game is weak

We did a healthier version of this. As young kids we could shop in the pantry with play money. As teenagers we learned budgeting basics - calculated our extracurricular expenses and did extra chores for a bigger allowance to pay for stuff. As adults, if we needed to live at home, we still paid a small rent but when we were ready to move out they gave it all back to us to use as a deposit somewhere.

Why did these people even have children? You decide to have kids you expect to pay and look after them until they're at least adults! Wow

Now start your own tab and tell them it's for their nursing home

Should someone told them that was literally their responsibility by law, and their choice to procreate?

I'll bet you anything that he beat the s**t out of those three kids and wife

My father did the light bulb thing so two lights could not be on at the same time to "run up the electricity bill".

That poor 3rd child. Surely the man of the house should eat last, right?

No chains ?

Freak.
