The Wildest Parenting Texts of the Week (February 13, 2024)

As I've combed through the cringiest parenting texts on the internet, I've noticed some patterns emerging. One of them is that many of these texts are between adult children who still live with their parents and said parents. I say this in no way to shame people who live with their parents because of financial or personal reasons, but sometimes your relationship with your family improves when you no longer live together. When your parents are able to see you as an adult instead of a fully grown teenager eating their food and mooching off their water bill, they start to treat you as such. I don't say this to blame adult children whose parents treat them like they are still 16. Many parents will do that whether their kids live with them or not! I just hope that everyone who is dealing with insane parents is able to help themselves through it as much as they can. Moving out isn't always the worst first step, and maybe these parenting texts will help drive that point home.

    That's how you would describe her. 03:05 pm ✓ Don't pretend that you wouldn't know exactly who I was talking about if I made that description. Your friends are all such unique people, and not in a good way. It's such a shame that you can't find some proper young ladies to socialise with. These people are so far beneath you that you might as well be wading in a sewer. 03:07 pm Just a word of advice. I would walk in front of her on You wouldn't want to be behind that beast if it were to trip over

    Mom keeps reaching out to me even after many efforts of blocking her... I was taken away from her many years ago because she was very neglectful and abusive... I now live in a happy and healthy foster home, but still. Mom is VERY mentally unwell, and refuses treatment, or to take action to get better for reunification... at this point it's just fun to point and laugh

    my parents offered for my bf and I to live with them until we found a house near them, we tried and put in offers on several homes but none were accepted bc the housing market is insane rn. after a year we realized we didn't even like living there and decided to move back to our home state. my parents had transferred me $10K for a down payment for a house, which we appreciated so much. when we decided to move back, my mother accused me of not giving back the money they gave me.

    thanks to my grandpa and the police (who on the first call said there was nothing they could do, but came by the second time and stayed most of the time she seemed like a threat) we were able to load up most of our stuff. while we were loading things like clothes and such she was drinking and screaming at us to go faster. nobody did anything. my father even said he couldn't do anything.

    Me 6:42 PM, Jan 2 I'm genuinely curious about how you're still providing for me. If it's the loan, you chose to take that out and put it in your name. That was your choice. Your name is on nothing else of mine. I made sure of that 2 years ago. I have forgiven you. That doesn't mean I want anything to do with you or your new family. Your actions started the fire that burnt the bridge and your continual lies and doubling down was the gasoline that finished it off. Your name isn't even on the list

    Context: My dad cheated on my mom with the piano player at our church. As a godly man, he'll deny this until the day he dies but there is security footage of him and his AP around in the church. Since then, he's continued to try and convince me that mom cheated on him (she didn't), that he doesn't understand why I don't want to be around his now wife (who is 2 years older than I am) and that I need to get over him literally packing up while we were at work and leaving me with the fallout.
