Bad parenting can look a lot of different ways. Sometimes, it's super evident from the first time you meet a family that something is not right; it can also be extremely difficult to pick up on, especially for people who don't live with the family. This past weekend, I did little else than watch interviews with Gypsy Rose Blanchard following her release from prison, and I really cannot believe how bad her mom was. Imagine medically poisoning your healthy child so that you can live off of the goodwill and charity of others…I know that a lot of people grow up in bad situations, and it's not a competition, but Gypsy Rose Blanchard's story truly takes the cake. The parents from these parenting texts are not on the same level as the most infamous true crime story of the 2010s, but they are certainly not examples of superb parenting.

    I turned off my location to go to 7-Eleven at night and forgot to turn it back on. Usually I don't care to turn it off but she gets a notification if I leave so I just didn't want to deal with her yelling at me over it. I live here to help my parents out with my 6 younger siblings as I'm not ready to leave them behind with my narcissistic mother just yet. She saw my texts as disrespectful, stormed into my room in a violent rampage and destroyed my things. Afterwards, she said how I made her do t

    134 O S You allowed her to spent $82 on groceries and still charged her rent? She's a child you should have paid for her groceries then A A Sharrie > 0 No ma'am, you still not speak to me this way. I understand that she's 16 but when you asked for her to live with me, it was because she was acting as an adult and you wanted her to experience such actions. Meaning I do not control where she spends her money at as long as she can pay me rent. We agreed for her to pay $400 of my rent, no utilities,

We agreed on this deposit because we both knew that I'm renting this place and if it got damaged, it wouldn't be fair for me to pay for it when I was doing this favor for you.
