Black people recount the hilarious ways their parents psychologically tortured them as kids.

My father often called me an illegal immigrant from Nigeria, he’d threaten to tell the police to have me deported if I didn’t follow his orders.


when i was 6 my mom started pretending to be dead when i came back from school and she’d go the whole way bc she’d hold her breath when I tried to test and id tickle her and hit her and she continued pretending for a full hour while i mourned her


had a mate, her and her husband used to lie on the floor covered in tomato sauce when their 3 kids came home from school, they thought it was hysterical! All the kids are grown up now and all have serious problems!


My dad told me it was too expensive to get me a birth certificate so they registered me at the pound. My dad also said that when he spanked me he wouldn't get in as much trouble because I'm a dog


My dad used to tell me I wasn’t dark enough to actually be his and he was just doing the mailman a favor 😂😂😂

Teach your kid how to safely do pranks as well. Then they'll understand it's not so serious. Also never do a prank or joke that pokes at their insecurity if they have one.

By not reproducing. It's the only way.

Talk to them when they need help, force them to participate in family gatherings once a year minimum. Change how you interact with your kid over the years from a strict control state to a constantly loosening hand as they figure out more and more stuff on their own. Encourage them to learn problem solving habits. Help them out if they get stuck but also require that they learn from where they got stuck. Have specific standards that you do not break.

I think the most common element for being a shit parent is to not have strict standards for how you would react. Many parents get too busy trying to trick their own kids to get the wanted results and just end up with kids that do not trust them at all.

ugh they were grooming me into being a successful member of society with a wife and kids how fricking awful of them!!! Maybe I wanted to be a degenerate living in a rented apt with a roommate at 32 and spending all my time and money trying to find new ways to press the dopamine button in my brain!!!

It's actually pretty obvious. Just be normal. Little jokes and pranking your kid can be fine but don't pretend you've been killed as a prank. This isn't fine.
