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

I love witnessing the cognitive dissonance of people who think their families are crazy when they're extremely unremarkable. I know it's not a competition and that every family is crazy in their own unique way, but you know precisely the type of person I'm talking about. I'm mostly talking about your friend from your teenage years who would call her mom insane to her face when all you saw was a perfectly lovely lady. Kids who yelled at their parents in front of their friends never ceased to astound me. They had no shame at all, and it was fascinating to see someone behave in a way you could never get away with and watch them face absolutely no consequences for it. Fake "crazy mom" havers get really scared when someone with a really harrowing family history shows up. If you have accepted that your family is probably pretty standard and you want to feel better about who you're related to in comparison to others, these parenting texts might be just the thing for you.

    Mom > Hey, did you get the wedding invitation? We sent them out July 12th and we haven't heard anything back. I know we've had rough times but you're still my mom, and dad's still my father. I've always dreamt of dad walking me down the aisle and you being there to support. Please let me know! was distracted by the god awful color scheme you chose and you as well chose to not be my daughter the moment you decided to not speak to me for TWO YEARS I dont care about your dreams you've crushed mine

    Mom > you hurt me more and more every time we talk you don't fight for me you don't tell me you love me all you do is make things about yourself and your stupid dreams. why even invite me if you didn't want me to come you're just a fake person I was giving the woman who birthed me the opportunity to come to my wedding. You said no, so I put you down as not attending. You wanting me to "fight for your love" is a tiring game you like playing and I don't want to be a player in your game. Were adult

    For context: I (F26) had decided to go no contact with my mom (F51) for various of reasons. She's diagnosed bipolar, narcissistic, and has BPD. She's prescribed meds but feels taking them changes who she is (that's the point) so she doesn't take them or lies about taking them. My mom was never there emotionally or physically while I was younger. I have barely any memories of my mom, just my dad, my brothers and my fiancés family. When I went no contact for 2 years it was during my brother had hi

    I got engaged 3 years ago and we've been waiting to save up for a nice wedding. We've been together for 12 years and she has never supported our relationship. Even though she's far from deserving, I wanted to at least give her the opportunity to have memories of her 1 and only daughter getting married....and she effortlessly threw it away. I always have it in the back of my mind that she can't help herself when being a mean mother because of her diagnosis's, but this was just a lot. She doesn't

    8:36 AM, Dec 5 We are going to see a few military schools and programs in the next 2 weeks. You aren't getting a fresh start because there is no such thing. It doesn't exist. You are being sent to a school where you have no choices to make. They are all made for you- your clothes, hair cut, food- everything will be decided for you. You are making nothing but very poor choices and you have now lost your agency. It's basically a prison school for people like you who thinks they know everything. Yo

    10:01 PM, Jan 8 You're going to have to find somewhere else to go. You are not welcome back here and the door will be locked. You will need the police to get your things. You do this at every house you go to. I gave you everything and you just degrade it and you're delusional. You're failing at school, your one day away from truancy so now you're looking for a way out. So this is why you didn't want to shop for furniture and you were so energized after school. Big plans, huh? I wish you the best

    7:31 AM, Jan 9 I love you with all my heart but I don't feel safe with you in my home. You're too smart and you're watching YouTube videos about getting away w murder after I told you I had $430,000 in life insurance. The way you treat me is damaging and beyond hurtful. You simply cannot treat people the way you do and I don't know how to help you anymore. You seem intent on manipulating every situation in your favor without any regard for who gets hurt. I'm sorry- I cannot allow that in my hous

    2:34 PM, Jun 15 No joke- I am done. You can live here but you are on your own. You do nothing but treat me poorly and rudely. You lie and you think it's ok. You're wrong. You know why you couldn't be anywhere for more than a year? Same reason your mom was always changing friend groups- because, people figure it out. People start to notice that you're the only one who they have an honesty problem with. You do the same stuff your mom did, and there isn't anything anyone can do to help you once you

    2:29 PM, Jun 15 I drove 8 hours to pick you up. You have been and condescending the entire time. Then you walk through the door and start counting out hundreds of dollars of imaginary damage. Dude- NO! That is EXACTLY what your mom did. You know what she was and so do I. So tell me why in the world would I entertain behaviors of a schizophrenic being imitated by you? You are so wrong and you just shut me down. I am off to you. Don't ask me for anything. Laundry machines are in the room around th

    vinzwinz OP.2d ago Hello everyone! To give very simple context to a very complicated situation, my mother has passed a few years ago and my father was never in the picture. I'm currently a senior in high school living with this person, who is a 42 year old man and sent me the texts in the post. Despite everything, I've been doing very well in school! I've worked hard to get a 33 on the ACT, a 5/5 for my AP Chemistry course, and a 95 on the ASVAB (I plan to go into the military as recruiters have

    Like girl, you're in college but can't even use proper punctuation, grammar, OR spelling??? Have fun getting that degree Imfao. But yeah, the context is that she's had four kids and acts like she has none and is still in her 20's. She's stolen cars, done every drug under the sun, and known prostitute. She likes her men dark so all of her kids except for me are mixed, but she's also racist and tried to sell them when they were born. I got adopted when I was twelve so I'm chilling, and I haven't s
