Once I was angry with my mom and told her I'm gonna leave home and will never come back. While I was packing my clothes in my room and hoping that she would come and say sorry to me, she came and gave me a bigger bag and told me 'hey kiddo your bag is not big enough, pack your clothes in this instead.' 😂😂
I love her! My mom helped me pack and even got my “good jeans” out of the laundry and suggested that I was them as soon as I got where I was going. Best mom EVER! ❤️🥰
Lol, I decided life was unfair and tried to run away at the age of maybe seven. Reason? I was asked to do the dishwasher. I packed my red suitcase full of all the tins of soup in the cupboard, and a jar of marmite, nothing else, and stomped off to the end of the back garden, where I sat down on top of our giant rubble and brick heap from renovations and spent fifteen minutes trying to get into a tin of mushroom soup with a brick. I got so frustrated with it that in the end I took it indoors and got Mum to open it for me XD
My mom laughed at me and wished me luck, when I packed a few things and shouted that I would leave home. That made me more furious, so I stayed. It didn't work.... Moms are so talented in "helping" you.
So, my dad still insists on buying us candy for Easter, and last year I got snickers, paydays, and Reese's. I'm allergic to peanuts. My dad says "oops, I forgot" as he ate my candy.
@@davidguidry657 I figured, mom said he tried to do the same thing with the stockings at Christmas. But we also have a tradition of pranking each other at Christmas so I wasn't bothered.
My mom: every time she met a new boyfriend of mine she made sure to have them carry her freshly washed knives to her car. She would politely thank them before informing them that she "is a butcher by trade and has an abundance of land" before slamming her trunk closed and smiling. Me as a mom: my child was refusing to pick up her toys so when she left a tooth under her pillow, the tooth fairy left a letter explaining that the room was too hazardous to search through for a tooth and that she would return tomorrow. The room was spotless the next morning lol
lol I come from a single parent home with my mom and she did something similar 😂 First off, she wrote up this contract that was basically saying that if he didn't treat me like a lady (ex: open doors, respect my boundaries, etc.) and breaks one of the listed "terms", I had every right to break up with him on the spot. And since we are from the south, she also had to show him a shotgun shell with his name written on it. I about died from embarrassment lmao - She is the sweetest person ever and clearly wasn't being serious, but it was still really funny to all of us 😂
When my sister was in her dating period, our parents were usually accepting of every boy she dated, although they insisted on meeting them before they left on their first date, and while she was finishing up getting ready, they would regale him with stories and jokes, and be so friendly with them that many would have rather spent the evening with them than go out with her, according to what she confessed to Mother one day.
Hopefully she didn't wind up with a string of ex's that TO THIS DAY still show up and say hi mom while she stands there with her husband dumbfounded and EXTREMELY ANNOYED. it makes me question one thing ...is 44 too old to scream at them that she's my mom and to go home? 🤨💯😒😒😒 Because this is my life now. True story
@@michellekeith5602: She has been married to the same man since she was 15 (If he hadn't agreed to marry her after he got her pregnant, he would have been sent to prison for statutory rape by our parents (His mother was blamed for them being left alone so that could happen), and she will turn 70 this next August. They raised two boys, born 11 years apart, the oldest being a Navy veteran who lives in the Denver area, and the youngest an up and coming stock broker in Las Vegas, who owns three houses. And no, I'd say you're not too old. They should know better.
@@ceridwynnhaven3335 : At the time, I believe, he was about 17-18. His mother should have known (according to our mother) that he should never have been left alone with her in private, and always blamed his mother for going out and leaving them alone in the house. When they did the right thing, and admitted to our folks that she was pregnant, they gave him the choice to either marry her, or get turned over to the police for statutory rape. Of course they had their problems, but they stood by each other, and are still together today, despite his current physical health problems. In all actuality, my sister can be quite intimidating when she wants to be, so I think that he could have been a bit scared of her, and toed the line. If he ever cheated on her is unknown, although I feel there might have been some opportunities for him to do so, but if he ever did, no one else in the two families (his and ours) knows about it.
My mom told a story about getting revenge on an annoying roommate (was reminded of this when Charlotte talks about the peanut butter) She went to college in late 50s. Her roommate had a bag of oranges. It was winter time in Utah. At this time fresh produce like oranges were only easily available in places like California and Florida. Having oranges was a subtle sign of wealth (historically) and often given as Christmas gifts. Whenever anyone came over the rooms made a big production of taking out the oranges, cutting it up and sharing around the pieces. Sounds nice but she also made a point of counting her oranges every time she came back to the room. So my mom and friends pranked her. They took an orange. The roommate kinda glared when the count came up short. Then they took 2 more. Now she really looked peeved. Then they PUT BACK 4 (after taking 3) Now the roommate looked confused. Then they took 5. She counts and glares. Then they put back 8. The next day all the oranges were gone and the whole "prank" was never discussed aside from a lot of glaring...
The same moment she said "Kids your not supposed to be watching this, leave mama to her youtube lady." Was said at the exact moment my son came to look at my phone. 🤣 He is 1, that was so funny! Thank you for the laughes! ❤❤
Charlotte:”We go home for the holidays and go into child mode and expect our parents to do everything for us, that’s not what should happen” Also Charlotte, at home for the holidays: “Dad can you make me some popcorn!? There’s gold fish can you get me gold fish!?” 😂 love you Charlotte ❤️
My mum has a rule that whoever’s house it is, they’re the adults and the guests are kids. …except when she comes over to our house for Christmas - then, she insists on making breakfast and cleaning up, and none of us can stop her. She’s taller than all but one of us kids, and my dad
I am over the moon that my son chose to come back to our city after college & started his professional career here. I am devastated, however, that I will not get my 2 weeks of Christmas to spoil him & pretend he’s still a kid! He’s only going to come over once or twice during the holidays this year (oh damn now I’m genuinely sad…)
This video came at a great time! My Dad was super petty yesterday, I was both ashamed and proud all at once. I went into a corner store with him, I needed a lighter. I don't identify colour well and I asked for the "pink one", apparently it was beige. The clerk said "bro, what's wrong with you, you go to special ed?"...my Dad missed no beats and got a double-whammy in, immediately he said "yep, he did. Around the same time you went to fat camp. Looks like you both failed". I DO NOT CONDONE HIS COMMENTS....but I was really proud of him at the same time lol
Your dad deserves a day pass for that ‘fat shaming’ comment. If I was on line behind you, I would’ve applauded! “No one messes with MY kid!” Way to go, Dad! ❤️
@@ashmaybe9634 LOL - that's what I felt guilty about. The "fat camp" comment, not so much in line with how I operate...but, the speed and effectiveness of my Pops roast, made me so proud. The clerk was lost for words, just said "have a good day"
I appreciate the hell out of Charlotte putting on makeup and doing her hair to entertain us for ~12 min when I refuse to change out of sweatpants for work.
That tooth fairy letter is just awesome!!! I Love petty parents!! Also, Indian child here. I don't go into child mode when I visit my parents. Instead, I kinda become hyper responsible when there!! I pick up after myself, help out and the husband and I even troubleshoot things for them... I guess it is my need for approval but my sister does the same and she has no such issues...
I don't think my mom was or is petty, my youngest brother was or is. After years of torture and numerous jokes from him, my sweet, loving, generous mother had had enough. My brother was visiting my mom and slowly stealing stuff from her and putting it in the trunk of his car. He was swiping things he was too cheap to buy, like nice towels, sheets, and cookware. When the weekend ended, hugs and kisses ensued and my brother began his 7 hour journey back to his home. He stopped midway to get gas and to look at his goodies. To his surprise my mother had substituted her stuff for about 1 week of trash in its place. This included food scraps, lots of food scraps, cooking oil, personal hygiene products from a sister who still lived at home, bathroom waste, dog droppings, and other icky stuff. My brother had to bow down to my mom when he called her when he got to his home. This stopped the thievery but not the practical jokes. However, he tamed down his jokes because he knew now that Mama could fight back.
Don’t mistake mama’s kindness for weakness or lack of ability! It’s almost always more of a demonstration of her overwhelming love. I fact your brother apparently needed to learn the hard way. 😉 I’m glad he learned tho. And such a thorough lesson at that.
@@davidguidry657 I agree completely!! All he had to do was ask her for the stuff and she would have cheerfully given it to him. He was just being a jerk and took pleasure in messing with our mom. All the siblings tease him about it from time to time. I love it!!
I feel bad for the sister who's feminine hygiene products they were though, I would be mortified if mine ended up in my brothers boot (ik it's natural but still)😬
@@loulou1356 Well, when Mama bagged up that trash, she didn't care what was in it. My brother was good. He grew up with 3 sisters, plus my mom who was a nurse. Plus there were 2 other brothers, so it was 3 girls, 3 boys. We only had one bathroom growing up. My mom, being an OB/GYN nurse schooled us early about the male and female reproductive systems and what to expect. While the fem trash was wrapped up thoroughly, my brother opened the bags not knowing what to expect because he was shocked. Even the food trash was doubled bagged because that's how we roll. Mama threw in extra loose trash because she wanted to teach him a lesson. That sister (who also is a nurse) laughed harder than anyone. I didn't feel sorry for him. He didn't have to steal from Mama. He deserved what he saw. P. S. Just to give you an example of what he did one time. He and his drunk crew met my mom at Disney World. He went directly to her room. The door was unlocked. As a joke he found her camera and took loads of naked butt pictures on her camera. His friends joined in but most of the pictures were of him clowning my mom. When he found my mom at the park, he told her what he did. Well, the joke was on him. That was NOT my mom's room or camera. She was on the same floor but he had the wrong room number. Mama fussed at him because of what he did but mainly for wasting the film on some poor family's camera.
As an A-hole and a Santa, I can honestly say that blaming Santa for gifts the kids don't like is perfectly fine by me. I have no trouble in handing out police whistles for Halloween instead of candy again.
Gave me some great ideas! Lol. I just told my son if he doesn’t clean up the trash in his room it will be his birthday gift which is coming up soon. 😂…. I just looked and he’s now picking it all up!!!
Ooooh! GREAT idea! My 6yo grand daughter is the biggest slob, ever! Granted, she IS young, but she really hates cleaning her room...gonna share this with her mom (my very neat, tidy daughter).
The tooth fairy one had me rolling. I once forgot to be the tooth fairy and when my son asked why the tooth fairy didn't bring him a trinket, I told that the tooth fair doesn't work holiday's or weekends😆😆😆😆
Not sure if this qualifies as "petty" but when my son was on the cusp of puberty and I found myself, in what would be, THE FINAL battle about the need for more frequent showers, I tackled him to the ground, sprayed the top of his head with whipped cream and called over his loyal golden retriever to partake of the bounty. The adolescent shrieks of horror (feet kicking frantically as I sat on him) coupled with the unparalleled delight of our dog as we yell back and forth in each others faces "Are you gonna start showering?!" "Oh my GOD mom, you're a pycho!" "Yup! You gonna start showering?!" "Yes! Yes!" "Fantastic!" He LOOOVES to tell that story.
Hahaha, this killed me because I was literally trying to watch this with morning coffee while my 4 year old wouldn't stop and she comes in and goes "mommy, is that your funny lady you watch all the time?" Why yes, yes it is now go away
True story. Age 14. Came home on Friday evening to my mom on the phone saying, "...I will send Brian over to take care of it" I fussed and fumed and explained I was not her errand boy who will just do stuff at the drop of a hat. She said nothing the rest of the night. I was awoken that Saturday morning by my mother telling me that she was not her errand person and I could find my own way to my Saturday morning bowling league. From that day forward, I always considered the other side of things before speaking.
I think it's obnoxious to offer your 14 year old's labor without asking. It's as if he woke her up on Saturday morning and demanded out of the blue to be driven somewhere.
@@loosilu so what, doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t want to do something for her so she didn’t for him. You didn’t know how much I’m advance or whether that was the issue, which I don’t think it was.
As the youngest child, I would’ve absolutely broken into the lock on that tv (the youngest learns all of the spy skills), watched what I wanted, then replaced the lock when my mom was around.
I had the kids load all game consoles, cell phones, tablets, dvd players, power cords to both tv, game cartridges, controls, power cords EVERYTHING into my car and... Drove to work for my double (back to back) shifts. It's not petty parenting. A judge wouldn't be so nice. If it's not cute when they're 25, it's not cute when 15.
Kids these days have all kinds of information at their fingertips. Just wait for the parent to walk past and start muttering "Three is binding, nothing on two..." (ua-cam.com/video/9epANiUBu1o/v-deo.html)
03:10 I read somewhere online about telling your children that ONE special present is from Santa.This is mostly so that children who don't get as much don't feel like Santa loves them less, but I expect it's a good way to combat being jealous of Santa getting all the credit too!
One of THE BEST petty parenting stories I heard was this: "It's her summer break so I woke my 12 yr old daughter up at 5.15 this morning. I've been waiting for this revenge since she was four. When she asked me why I was up, I told her that my blanket fell off the bed." 😂😂😂 #QueenOfPetty
I hope it continued throughout the summer break with other reasons such as “I’m thirsty”, “I think there’s a monster under my bed/in my closet”, “your daddy keeps breathing on me”, and/or “have you ever wondered if kitty cats dream?”
Just found this the other day. Hilarious! We have two grown daughters who have since moved away and started families of their own. When they were teenagers living at the house, our eldest would take long marathon showers. I wouldn't have believed the hot water system could keep up with her but I swear, she would be in there at least a good 45 minutes to an hour every time! I'm not talking total bathroom time, I'm talking from the time the water was turned on, to the time it was turned off. I asked her several times, eventually pleaded with her to try to take shorter showers because our water bill was astronomical! She said it was her "personal time to reflect upon the day and reconnect with her perspective on life." At least, that was the answer she gave. ;) Whatever! I may be a dad, but I do understand these things, but holy Lord! Can we not find another (lesser expensive) way to solve all the world's problems? The day finally came when I had enough. I opened the water bill and I can't remember if I screamed WTF or threw up a little when I saw the amount! I stormed off to the utility room still clenching the water bill and proceeded to shut off the hot water supply valve. Within seconds, I could hear the frantic thumping around trying to shut the water off because it had suddenly turned from soothing warm to ICE COLD! I know, such a petty thing to do but at the time, but I didn't care in the slightest because who was paying the water bill? I actually did that a few more times and told her how sorry I was the hot water tank could no longer keep up with her demand. Years later, I eventually confessed to her and we both laugh about it today. She has children of her own and recently told me she wouldn't hesitate to use the hot water valve trick if things ever got out of hand. I guess this proves how pettiness can be handed down from generation to generation. Kind of makes you wonder, what was the pettiest thing your parents ever did...that you know of?
I actually had the opposite from my daughter with the tooth fairy. I forgot to switch the tooth over for the money, so I had to say that the tooth fairy was very busy as it was lockdown. Next night, I found a little note in the dish she had left the tooth. It said 'tooth = money'. Oops.
I have to nag the tooth fairy with emails and texts before he shows up. If the kids can't find the money, they hunt for it with their daddy and then find it in some unexpected place that totally wasn't where daddy was just standing.
These are hilarious. I remember one morning. My kid comes to me and says mama the tooth fariy didnt come. I said are ya sure. She said yeah. I was thinking to myself. Shit i fell asleep on the couch again. So i said why dont you go to the bathroom and wash your face well look together. She agrees. I bolt up run to my room. Tripping over my coffee table on the way nearly taking me out. Get there scramble for my apron where my cash is. Grab a few bucks and bolt to her room. Shes still in the bathroom. Whew good. I rip the pillow up. Attempt to fling the money under the pillow. The bills fly free everywhere in different directions. Damn it. I sacrmble to grab the bills shove them under the pillow. As im taking my hands out from the pillow my kid comes back from the bathroom. I was like whew just in time. Hi pretty you wanna look again? We look again there are three bills scattered... and the tooth. Look mama the tooth fairy forgot the tooth too. Yeah looks like she did. I replied. Umm can i have it? She said sure and handed it to me. She was too involved with getting the money i think.
I was super petty with my kids, but in a humorous way. They totally took after me. Now that I'm the guardian of my niece and nephews, I've found that I'm out of practice. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration!!!
Laughed so hard at the part where you said how your mom- when you moved into your new place, said "So what are you going to do if the arshole moves in?" 😅 Also loved the bratty looking little Charlotte sitting on the lemonade stand ;D ;D
The worst thing I ever done. To keep my little cousins out of my room when they came over for a visit. I would grab 2 sets of gloves. I stuck one set in my bag and the other I put on. I would take a can of tuna fish and drain the liquid into a bowl. I would mix a big tablespoon of vaseline in with the tuna liquid and rub it all over my bedroom door nob and close it. One time my aunt called screaming bloody murderer at me cuz she was angry at the weird fish smell coming from their hands. I told her I'm a grown adult and I told her many times to keep her kids out of my room while I'm at work. She never listened. For 3 days my cousins smelled like fish🤣 cuz vaseline isn't easy to take off
It depends what they did. Did they intentionally destroy something someone else valued? Was it their fourth or fifth time doing so? Don’t judge too soon.
Love your videos! FYI, that hole in the plug is designed for a lock! :) It's a safety feature for locking out devices that are unsafe to use. I love watching the "I was how old when I learned this" kind of stuff, lol
great video as always! and for the roommate who kept eating your peanut butter, when i shared a dorm with two other girls, we had divided our small little fridge into sections. there was basically an unspoken rule that we would not touch each other's stuff. during the weekends, i would go home and stay with my family and had left a few lunchables in the fridge. one of my roommates wasn't feeling well, and she ate them and meant to replace them, but i had gotten home before she felt well enough to leave the dorm. she had such a look of fear and apologized profusely and wanted to replace the lunchables lol. i didn't really care, esp since 1. she wasn't feeling well, and she would've had to walk quite the distance to get food anyhow, and 2. she was a great roommate. we just had a laugh about it. XDXD
I know someone who decades ago was arrested for being part of an event to register voters. The local paper published a photo of him and his group being arrested. He used the photo for his Christmas cards that year.
Every time that I think that having kids might be a good idea, social media reminds me of why I shouldn't. More power to the people who are willing to take on the challenges but I don't have the patience at all.
Don't do it fam. Don't let them trap you. If they love you, you will be enough. If you have kids..... you'll never have your S/O to yourself again. And they eat up your food.
Social media does not explain to you why you shouldn't have kids but how many people don't know how to be parents. Just don't be scared to say NO and teach them RESPECT and it's not that crazy
Idk if y'all are joking and I'm just ruining the mood bet here it is, don't take social media into account when making such a big decision, it has to come from deep within, nothing is real in social media, it's like reality shows, all fake
If you know how to discipline your kids, then they're not little demons. Being a parent is hard, but is only unbearable if you make it that way by not knowing how to parent.
I literally laughed out loud at 3:35 because this is me 😂😂😂. Mommy wants to laugh and destress by watching her favorite UA-cam lady! They didn’t hear anything though so you’re in the clear 😆.
Miss Charlotte as Oscar the Grouch!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 I am SO here for it! I was a little surprised by the story about Mama Dobre that was shared as I was sure it would be about her jumping to Miss Charlotte’s aid with some high class petty. Instead we’re told of a story common among many mortal parents who have witnessed our otherwise intelligent, wise, and phenomenal kids making poor relational choices. I get it for my kids since I can’t say that I’ve always been the best example but c’mon Miss Charlotte! Your folks are marriage goals! We’ve all seen them so you know what to look for. I’m with your mom on this one. No more a-holes please; we just want what’s best for you.
I tell my kids that we send Santa the list, then after Christmas Santa sends me and Dad the bill. Ok, Santa is a glorified delivery service, but my kids appreciate that me and their Dad do a lot of the work and have some appreciation for how much Christmas costs. Also, Charlotte, you make my day. I love you 💟
When my kids would be home during the summer, they always had chores/reading to do every day. When I caught on that they weren't doing any of it and lying, I decided to help them be more honest. I changed the wifi password every day and they had to send me pics of all the chores & a synopsis of what they had read...and I wouldn't give the password until they BOTH completed their tasks!😈
Kids lose their first tooth around age 5-6, then the rest of the lower incisors follow within the next 6 months or so. The top lateral incisors are lost around age 7/8, followed by the upper central incisors within 6 months or so again. Then you get a little break & lose your first primary molars & canines around age 10/11, and the second primary molars around age 11/12. It is very common for a child to be either dentally advanced or dentally delayed by 12-24 months so some kiddos may lose their last tooth as late as 14 and the first not until 6.5-7years old. *The more you know* 😅
@@KatieForeal84 I prefer to use more of my throat in my pronunciation as it allows me to apply more bass to my speech. It provides a more... Homer Simpson Springfield dialect
My mum didn't really get on with her next door neighbor. One day she happened to find out she suffered from hayfever so decided to plant high pollinating flowers along their ajoining fence.. That's the level of petty I aspire to 🤣
How's THIS for petty? When I was in my 20s', I had my 1st hangover. I drank 12 bottles of Mickeys (beer) and 1/4 of a half-gallon of Tequila. When I got home, the front door was not an option, the doorknob kept moving (my story, sticking to it). So, I went through the bathroom window where the shower is, but I went in head first, so when gravity took over, down I went, broke the window, took out the shower curtain too. I'm laughing cuz I know Moms is gonna kill me. She did. She went into my room when I was passed the QUACK out, and opened up my curtains since my side of the house got the morning sun- Hello God's Flashlight. So, I notice how every little sound is VERY loud. Mom sees me and says "Awe, you have a headache? FIND SOME ASPIRIN!" So, I look everywhere, and there is none to be found (she hid it all). I tell her I cannot find any. "BETTER GO TO THE QUAKING STORE THEN!" Yeah, she was pissed off, but I think I deserved it to a point.
I never gave Santa all the credit for gifts. I told my kids that, yes, there's a santa BUT he doesn't work for free. Parents still have to give him money to help pay for the toys and to make the toys. It worked. My kids got to enjoy the belief in Santa but without the limitless christmas lists because they knew there was some kind of a monetary budget and I got some well deserved credit for the gifts, too 😄
OMG, this is my favorite petty video so far! I love all your content, Charlotte (especially your singing). Thank you for being such an upbeat, positive light in my day. 💕
The hole on a plug is actually for that purpose...But this is the first time I've ever seen the lockout method used for a non-industrial purpose, it's kind of brilliant! hahaha
Hahahahaha 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I would absolutely agree with you if he was a teenager (that stage leads to a lot of uh…….dehydration) but one usually moves past that when they move out.
Well, he didn't move past the stage of leaving trash on the floor (not even putting it into a wastebasket or a bag), so best to be safe and not touch any of the potential biohazard.
Just saw this! I have many...maaany petty parent moments because I'm THAT mom. When my 23yr old was 3 1/2 yrs old i was eating a double chocolate fudge cake late at night (she was supposed to be asleep) she wants a bite so i tell her, "oh no you don't want none of this! this is gross! Poopoo! Caca! Yuk-o's!" She looks grossed out but goes back to bed. Fast forward 7 years and she comes back from a friend's bday party SEETHING because me eating "caca", (fudge cake) made her think chocolate was GROSS and she missed out on years of treats 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Barry T. Tooth Fairy parents deserve the Parents of the Year Award! That's the best, most creative solution to a parenting problem, I've ever seen!
I never understood the pountless Santa nonsense, I was always so glad my parents chose not to lie to me for no discernible reason. Yes, especially as a young child
when I was little I lost a tooth while I was being sick, and lost it along with the vomit. I wrote a very (for a 7 year old) formaly worded letter of apology to the tooth fairy and it was only after I asked my parents if the tooth fairy system worked both ways (are they checking for teeth every night or can they somehow sense when a tooth needs to be colected?) that my parents found out I had lost a tooth at all. I did the whole writing a formal letter of apology myself. the next day I got a formal letter back from my tooth fairy (anjelica) thanking me for the thaughtfullness of my actions and that now they knew what had happened to my tooth they could easily track it through the sewage system and have it specialy cleaned. I also got twice my usual tooth fairy rate for thaughtfull and prompt action. tooth fairy lore goes deep
Agreed. While Miss Charlotte is right that it’s a little about the kid’s reading level, the good news is that the parents now get to “translate” it into kid speak and make the point in a way the kid will more easily accept because it’s not from them but the tooth fairy. I love it. Brilliant!!
Something tells me that parent might be an attorney! That was brilliant. I've used the play-annoying-music-to-drive my-son-outside before. That Wham! song is a good one, but I found that "Jungle Boy" never failed. Sadly, back then I didn't have a big screen TV streaming UA-cam, or I would have put this weird video on repeat and driven him bonkers! I think this should have been chosen instead of the classic "rick-roll" video just for sheer silliness. This is WAY more weird, and it's an earworm that invades the psyche! (I admit, I've always liked it though 😂) ua-cam.com/video/_r0n9Dv6XnY/v-deo.html
My daughter went through a stage were she wouldn’t clean her room until there was some sort of yelling match between us (she was 13). So to stop her behavior I took everything out of her room in large black garbage bags, sent her to school in matching sweats (to short and flared legs) and sweatshirt in the worst color ever. She’d have to earn back her stuff one bag at a time, never knowing what was in each bag. Now she keeps her house spotless.
That one with the padlock on the power cable is devious and I love it! May have to use that one someday to prank one of my brothers who always get me with pranks.
Oh man, I just had a flashback to the early 2000's when a friend of mine had a whole drunken rant about communicating through burps and farts! I can not believe anyone else would even bring that up.
Charlotte, I love your videos! I’ve been watching you since your days with IO and I love that you have your own channels now! ❤️👏 I just want to say that your content is always entertaining, and I appreciate all of the hard work that you put into each and every video! It clearly shows through every time! You do an amazing job! So keep up the great work! Also, I love this shade of lipstick on you darlin! 💄💋😘💖
My stepdad did the whole lock through electrical plugs. Also made us write essays or like “I will not talk back to my mother” over and over. He’d hand us a paper w the sentence on top n # of times to write em. Or the essay topic and how many words. Doesn’t seem like a big deal but holy hell it was torture for us. And we learned valuable lessons lol.
When I was young (70’s-80’s) my Mom hired an electrician come, cut the tv chord and make it portable, so she could take the chord with her. That way she knew we couldn’t watch tv. What she didn’t realize, was that an extension chord now worked just like the tv chord she took with her! So, we just bought one and plugged it in the second she left! It took her a couple of years to figure it out! Mamma didn’t raise no dummies!😂🤣 She was so mad when she finally figured it out!😂
The santa thing: the new trend is the parents SHOULD take credit for the good shit, because the Santa of poorer kids can't compete and it hurts that Santa got kid A a PS5 and they got some socks or whatever.
Santa came to our house back in the late '50's/early 60's. The trend at that time was only one or two gifts came from Santa, everything else had Mom and Dad's name on the tag. My friends were the same so it wasn't just our family. Looks like we are getting back to that.
I've managed to explain Santa is the "spirit of giving" to my kiddo (age 5) and so far it's working. She went around claiming to be Santa to our very close knit group, giving them candy and presents she got at the store for them. She also said being Santa needs to be a paid job because she "didn't have enough dollars to be more Santa-y."
My parents told my brother, sister and I from the get-go that there was no Santa, no tooth fairy, no Easter bunny, etc cause they didnt want to lie to us. Man, that changed and they wished they had when we kept coming home from school with complaints cause we felt the need to inform others of the lies 🤣
That happen to me. My niece asked me if there was a Santa and I told her no. So she felt the need to tell her classmates lol. Then she later told me that she thought I was lying.
I was called by my youngest son's 2nd grade teacher because he told his classmates that there was no Santa. He had been homeschooled up to that point so we didn't think of warning him not to spill the beans.
I was raised the same and I’m raising my kids like that as well but we have included a talk about how it’s mean to burst other ppl’s bubbles. They really struggle sometimes and don’t want to lie so they just do their best to avoid any conversations about Santa with their classmates. I want them to be respectful of other ppl’s beliefs but it’s hard to be responsible for other ppl’s decisions to lie to their kids…
Can I just say you look extra beautiful today? Your waves and are shining, skin looks glowing, and that lip and nail color is bomb! You are just stunning 💖
I have a couple set of almost dead double aa batteries that I will put in the remote on game day! Will also hid the jumbo pack a spare batteries. Stating that I’ll pick up some more. It’s so satisfying to watch him trying to switch between games. Lol it takes him 3 or 4 tries to change a channels. 😂.
Thanks Charlotte. I don't have any kids, and I know now I can't have any....because I would be the most petty dad imaginable. I still haven't forgiven my niece for ratting me out to my sister when I had call me dad one time to get a a girl's number ...that was when she was 3. She's 29 now... So I give her son candy whenever possible. He's like the Tazmanian Devil on candy...
The tooth fairy letter is definitely good parenting. I just imagine the one from Family Guy rolling around in his pile of teeth, getting a rotten one, and being like, “WTF?! Oh, hell no, kid.”
Fart and burp language...my husband (who taught our 2 daughters and our friends' 3 daughters) can fake fart an entire song using his armpit and or back of his knee. God I love that man!
OMG the tooth fairy letter! We've done those in our house when the kids' rooms were "too messy for the tooth fairy to safely enter" and when they got their first cavities due to poor brushing (despite help from us parents).
One morning I woke up to the coffee pot on the table with a sign saying “Coffee Now!” So when the coffee was ready I took the pot (which is metal) and wooden and made beautiful music and sand the song of my people! COFFEES READY!!!
I am scarred by wooden spoons! They were my mom’s go to disciplinary tool in a house with five boys. I’m in my forties and will not be in the same room with her if she has one in her hand.
@@lillyvaughn5398 you’re all kinds of good, no worries. Please don’t edit on my account. My therapist says I need to face it to move past it. 😉 Kidding, I love my mom! Even though she did smack us with wooden spoons. All of us older kids fear the spoon, our younger siblings (only girls and baby brother after an 8 year gap) have no idea why we all stand up and leave the room when mom walks in from the kitchen with a spoon in her hand. 😂🤣
@@davidguidry657 I feel your pain. My mom was the same. And when the spoon would break while hitting us, she would say “now look what YOU made me do” and look for something else to use instead. Bad memories that never go away. And now I get to take care of her as she is in her 90s. Oh, and she likes to rewrite history (her memories) and truly believes that she was “a wonderful mother”. Good times….
My friend was a petty parent. When his son wouldn't stop getting up and playing PS games in the middle of the night, he took the door off the kids room! 😂 It rectified the situation,
My favorite petty mother moment, when my son came home drunk after going to a party he wasn't supposed to go to. I put the stereo speakers just inside his bedroom and blasted the 1812 overture, complete with cannons at 7am.
Once I was angry with my mom and told her I'm gonna leave home and will never come back. While I was packing my clothes in my room and hoping that she would come and say sorry to me, she came and gave me a bigger bag and told me 'hey kiddo your bag is not big enough, pack your clothes in this instead.' 😂😂
I love her! My mom helped me pack and even got my “good jeans” out of the laundry and suggested that I was them as soon as I got where I was going. Best mom EVER! ❤️🥰
Lol, I decided life was unfair and tried to run away at the age of maybe seven. Reason? I was asked to do the dishwasher. I packed my red suitcase full of all the tins of soup in the cupboard, and a jar of marmite, nothing else, and stomped off to the end of the back garden, where I sat down on top of our giant rubble and brick heap from renovations and spent fifteen minutes trying to get into a tin of mushroom soup with a brick. I got so frustrated with it that in the end I took it indoors and got Mum to open it for me XD
@@CatTheCrafter aww that's cute tho
My mom laughed at me and wished me luck, when I packed a few things and shouted that I would leave home. That made me more furious, so I stayed. It didn't work.... Moms are so talented in "helping" you.
@@laramaaike3050 Oh aren't they just XD
"Leave mommy to watch her UA-cam lady" 🤣 Charlotte, you are a gem and I wish you all the positivity in the world
My daughter is 6 and she loves watching this youtube lady with me, she laughs at all the edits
So, my dad still insists on buying us candy for Easter, and last year I got snickers, paydays, and Reese's. I'm allergic to peanuts. My dad says "oops, I forgot" as he ate my candy.
As a dad, I can speak confidently that he did NOT forget. 😉
@@davidguidry657 I figured, mom said he tried to do the same thing with the stockings at Christmas. But we also have a tradition of pranking each other at Christmas so I wasn't bothered.
Classic move, Dad.
He’s trolling you cause he didn’t forget I don’t believe it! My kids are deathly allergic to so many things and You can’t forget! 😅
@James that legitimately made me cackle.
My mom: every time she met a new boyfriend of mine she made sure to have them carry her freshly washed knives to her car. She would politely thank them before informing them that she "is a butcher by trade and has an abundance of land" before slamming her trunk closed and smiling.
Me as a mom: my child was refusing to pick up her toys so when she left a tooth under her pillow, the tooth fairy left a letter explaining that the room was too hazardous to search through for a tooth and that she would return tomorrow. The room was spotless the next morning lol
I don't care for this energy 😬
lol I come from a single parent home with my mom and she did something similar 😂
First off, she wrote up this contract that was basically saying that if he didn't treat me like a lady (ex: open doors, respect my boundaries, etc.) and breaks one of the listed "terms", I had every right to break up with him on the spot.
And since we are from the south, she also had to show him a shotgun shell with his name written on it.
I about died from embarrassment lmao - She is the sweetest person ever and clearly wasn't being serious, but it was still really funny to all of us 😂
@@milly7843my mom had a boyfriend that would open doors for her. He tried with both of us but I would always open my own door
Sounds like me lol 😆
Been there, did that!!! 😃
When my sister was in her dating period, our parents were usually accepting of every boy she dated, although they insisted on meeting them before they left on their first date, and while she was finishing up getting ready, they would regale him with stories and jokes, and be so friendly with them that many would have rather spent the evening with them than go out with her, according to what she confessed to Mother one day.
oh no I’d 100% fall for that, lose the date but keep her parents
Hopefully she didn't wind up with a string of ex's that TO THIS DAY still show up and say hi mom while she stands there with her husband dumbfounded and EXTREMELY ANNOYED. it makes me question one thing ...is 44 too old to scream at them that she's my mom and to go home? 🤨💯😒😒😒 Because this is my life now. True story
@@michellekeith5602: She has been married to the same man since she was 15 (If he hadn't agreed to marry her after he got her pregnant, he would have been sent to prison for statutory rape by our parents (His mother was blamed for them being left alone so that could happen), and she will turn 70 this next August. They raised two boys, born 11 years apart, the oldest being a Navy veteran who lives in the Denver area, and the youngest an up and coming stock broker in Las Vegas, who owns three houses.
And no, I'd say you're not too old. They should know better.
@@jacklow9611 How old was your brother in law? 😬
@@ceridwynnhaven3335 : At the time, I believe, he was about 17-18. His mother should have known (according to our mother) that he should never have been left alone with her in private, and always blamed his mother for going out and leaving them alone in the house. When they did the right thing, and admitted to our folks that she was pregnant, they gave him the choice to either marry her, or get turned over to the police for statutory rape. Of course they had their problems, but they stood by each other, and are still together today, despite his current physical health problems.
In all actuality, my sister can be quite intimidating when she wants to be, so I think that he could have been a bit scared of her, and toed the line. If he ever cheated on her is unknown, although I feel there might have been some opportunities for him to do so, but if he ever did, no one else in the two families (his and ours) knows about it.
My mom told a story about getting revenge on an annoying roommate (was reminded of this when Charlotte talks about the peanut butter)
She went to college in late 50s. Her roommate had a bag of oranges.
It was winter time in Utah.
At this time fresh produce like oranges were only easily available in places like California and Florida.
Having oranges was a subtle sign of wealth (historically) and often given as Christmas gifts.
Whenever anyone came over the rooms made a big production of taking out the oranges, cutting it up and sharing around the pieces.
Sounds nice but she also made a point of counting her oranges every time she came back to the room.
So my mom and friends pranked her.
They took an orange.
The roommate kinda glared when the count came up short.
Then they took 2 more.
Now she really looked peeved.
Then they PUT BACK 4 (after taking 3)
Now the roommate looked confused.
Then they took 5.
She counts and glares.
Then they put back 8.
The next day all the oranges were gone and the whole "prank" was never discussed aside from a lot of glaring...
😂
The same moment she said "Kids your not supposed to be watching this, leave mama to her youtube lady." Was said at the exact moment my son came to look at my phone. 🤣 He is 1, that was so funny! Thank you for the laughes! ❤❤
Haha my 7 year old was watching too and started laughing because she’s was like “the UA-cam lady is talking to me!” 😂
@@M_T_Gr8 🤣 That is too cute! ❤ My kiddo loves her, you should see the excited bounce. 😆
I love this for all of you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha I caught my daughter watching her yesterday haha 😂
Charlotte:”We go home for the holidays and go into child mode and expect our parents to do everything for us, that’s not what should happen”
Also Charlotte, at home for the holidays: “Dad can you make me some popcorn!? There’s gold fish can you get me gold fish!?”
😂 love you Charlotte ❤️
My mum has a rule that whoever’s house it is, they’re the adults and the guests are kids.
…except when she comes over to our house for Christmas - then, she insists on making breakfast and cleaning up, and none of us can stop her. She’s taller than all but one of us kids, and my dad
I am over the moon that my son chose to come back to our city after college & started his professional career here. I am devastated, however, that I will not get my 2 weeks of Christmas to spoil him & pretend he’s still a kid! He’s only going to come over once or twice during the holidays this year (oh damn now I’m genuinely sad…)
This video came at a great time! My Dad was super petty yesterday, I was both ashamed and proud all at once. I went into a corner store with him, I needed a lighter. I don't identify colour well and I asked for the "pink one", apparently it was beige. The clerk said "bro, what's wrong with you, you go to special ed?"...my Dad missed no beats and got a double-whammy in, immediately he said "yep, he did. Around the same time you went to fat camp. Looks like you both failed". I DO NOT CONDONE HIS COMMENTS....but I was really proud of him at the same time lol
Dad’s got your back! And by the way, the clerk is an a-hole! I love your dad
That's not petty that's grade A roasting :D
Your dad deserves a day pass for that ‘fat shaming’ comment. If I was on line behind you, I would’ve applauded! “No one messes with MY kid!” Way to go, Dad! ❤️
@@davidguidry657 The clerk is an a-hole lol. I was so surprised, my Dad is quick but usually shy.
@@ashmaybe9634 LOL - that's what I felt guilty about. The "fat camp" comment, not so much in line with how I operate...but, the speed and effectiveness of my Pops roast, made me so proud. The clerk was lost for words, just said "have a good day"
I appreciate the hell out of Charlotte putting on makeup and doing her hair to entertain us for ~12 min when I refuse to change out of sweatpants for work.
That tooth fairy letter is just awesome!!! I Love petty parents!!
Also, Indian child here. I don't go into child mode when I visit my parents. Instead, I kinda become hyper responsible when there!! I pick up after myself, help out and the husband and I even troubleshoot things for them... I guess it is my need for approval but my sister does the same and she has no such issues...
"Let mummy watch her UA-cam lady!" I'm certain this exact phrase has come out my mouth referring to you 😂😂😂
I don't think my mom was or is petty, my youngest brother was or is. After years of torture and numerous jokes from him, my sweet, loving, generous mother had had enough. My brother was visiting my mom and slowly stealing stuff from her and putting it in the trunk of his car. He was swiping things he was too cheap to buy, like nice towels, sheets, and cookware. When the weekend ended, hugs and kisses ensued and my brother began his 7 hour journey back to his home. He stopped midway to get gas and to look at his goodies.
To his surprise my mother had substituted her stuff for about 1 week of trash in its place. This included food scraps, lots of food scraps, cooking oil, personal hygiene products from a sister who still lived at home, bathroom waste, dog droppings, and other icky stuff. My brother had to bow down to my mom when he called her when he got to his home. This stopped the thievery but not the practical jokes. However, he tamed down his jokes because he knew now that Mama could fight back.
Don’t mistake mama’s kindness for weakness or lack of ability! It’s almost always more of a demonstration of her overwhelming love. I fact your brother apparently needed to learn the hard way. 😉 I’m glad he learned tho. And such a thorough lesson at that.
@@davidguidry657 I agree completely!! All he had to do was ask her for the stuff and she would have cheerfully given it to him. He was just being a jerk and took pleasure in messing with our mom. All the siblings tease him about it from time to time. I love it!!
@@diva70smusic: Sometimes teasing from siblings is the worst thing someone can undergo, because they can be brutal.
I feel bad for the sister who's feminine hygiene products they were though, I would be mortified if mine ended up in my brothers boot (ik it's natural but still)😬
@@loulou1356 Well, when Mama bagged up that trash, she didn't care what was in it. My brother was good. He grew up with 3 sisters, plus my mom who was a nurse. Plus there were 2 other brothers, so it was 3 girls, 3 boys. We only had one bathroom growing up. My mom, being an OB/GYN nurse schooled us early about the male and female reproductive systems and what to expect. While the fem trash was wrapped up thoroughly, my brother opened the bags not knowing what to expect because he was shocked. Even the food trash was doubled bagged because that's how we roll. Mama threw in extra loose trash because she wanted to teach him a lesson. That sister (who also is a nurse) laughed harder than anyone. I didn't feel sorry for him. He didn't have to steal from Mama. He deserved what he saw.
P. S. Just to give you an example of what he did one time. He and his drunk crew met my mom at Disney World. He went directly to her room. The door was unlocked. As a joke he found her camera and took loads of naked butt pictures on her camera. His friends joined in but most of the pictures were of him clowning my mom. When he found my mom at the park, he told her what he did. Well, the joke was on him. That was NOT my mom's room or camera. She was on the same floor but he had the wrong room number. Mama fussed at him because of what he did but mainly for wasting the film on some poor family's camera.
As an A-hole and a Santa, I can honestly say that blaming Santa for gifts the kids don't like is perfectly fine by me. I have no trouble in handing out police whistles for Halloween instead of candy again.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm doing that now😂
I have done that since day 1 lol
You evil person 😂
Gave me some great ideas! Lol. I just told my son if he doesn’t clean up the trash in his room it will be his birthday gift which is coming up soon. 😂…. I just looked and he’s now picking it all up!!!
YEESSSSSSS!!!!
Well played. Well played indeed!
Ooooh! GREAT idea! My 6yo grand daughter is the biggest slob, ever! Granted, she IS young, but she really hates cleaning her room...gonna share this with her mom (my very neat, tidy daughter).
The tooth fairy one had me rolling.
I once forgot to be the tooth fairy and when my son asked why the tooth fairy didn't bring him a trinket, I told that the tooth fair doesn't work holiday's or weekends😆😆😆😆
Not sure if this qualifies as "petty" but when my son was on the cusp of puberty and I found myself, in what would be, THE FINAL battle about the need for more frequent showers, I tackled him to the ground, sprayed the top of his head with whipped cream and called over his loyal golden retriever to partake of the bounty. The adolescent shrieks of horror (feet kicking frantically as I sat on him) coupled with the unparalleled delight of our dog as we yell back and forth in each others faces
"Are you gonna start showering?!"
"Oh my GOD mom, you're a pycho!"
"Yup! You gonna start showering?!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Fantastic!"
He LOOOVES to tell that story.
I. LOVE. this! Kids need to know their parents are just crazy enough to be scared of. Awesome! Great job mom!
I am crying!!!!! 😂
Go mom! 😂😂😂😂
This is AWESOME!!! You're a great mom
OH.MY.GAWD. I now need a can of whipped cream, someone's dog, and a time machine.
Hahaha, this killed me because I was literally trying to watch this with morning coffee while my 4 year old wouldn't stop and she comes in and goes "mommy, is that your funny lady you watch all the time?" Why yes, yes it is now go away
True story. Age 14. Came home on Friday evening to my mom on the phone saying, "...I will send Brian over to take care of it" I fussed and fumed and explained I was not her errand boy who will just do stuff at the drop of a hat. She said nothing the rest of the night. I was awoken that Saturday morning by my mother telling me that she was not her errand person and I could find my own way to my Saturday morning bowling league. From that day forward, I always considered the other side of things before speaking.
That ain’t petty, that’s parenting! 😉 Done right too. 😂🤣
I think it's obnoxious to offer your 14 year old's labor without asking. It's as if he woke her up on Saturday morning and demanded out of the blue to be driven somewhere.
@@loosilu I think he had to be woken early so he isn’t late since he wouldn’t be driven.
@@nutelloza RIght, but that was agreed upon in advance. Not demanded out of the blue.
@@loosilu so what, doesn’t change the fact that he didn’t want to do something for her so she didn’t for him. You didn’t know how much I’m advance or whether that was the issue, which I don’t think it was.
So happy to see your channel is growing, Charlotte! Every day, the community gets bigger and bigger. You deserve it. X
❤️❤️❤️

"Leave mommy to watch her UA-cam lady" best comment ever! I say that to my kids ALL THE TIME! 🤣🤣
As a parent, I will absolutely remember that lock on the cord thing!
As the youngest child, I would’ve absolutely broken into the lock on that tv (the youngest learns all of the spy skills), watched what I wanted, then replaced the lock when my mom was around.
Peanut butter is not safe around me. I never gain weight so I eat like a growing boy and I'm a 51 year old woman.
Jesus cares about yiu guys💕
I had the kids load all game consoles, cell phones, tablets, dvd players, power cords to both tv, game cartridges, controls, power cords EVERYTHING into my car and... Drove to work for my double (back to back) shifts. It's not petty parenting. A judge wouldn't be so nice. If it's not cute when they're 25, it's not cute when 15.
Since those cords usually detach from the tv, my kid would’ve found another power cord.
Kids these days have all kinds of information at their fingertips. Just wait for the parent to walk past and start muttering "Three is binding, nothing on two..."
(ua-cam.com/video/9epANiUBu1o/v-deo.html)
03:10 I read somewhere online about telling your children that ONE special present is from Santa.This is mostly so that children who don't get as much don't feel like Santa loves them less, but I expect it's a good way to combat being jealous of Santa getting all the credit too!
One of THE BEST petty parenting stories I heard was this: "It's her summer break so I woke my 12 yr old daughter up at 5.15 this morning. I've been waiting for this revenge since she was four. When she asked me why I was up, I told her that my blanket fell off the bed." 😂😂😂
#QueenOfPetty
I love this for you!!!!
I hope it continued throughout the summer break with other reasons such as “I’m thirsty”, “I think there’s a monster under my bed/in my closet”, “your daddy keeps breathing on me”, and/or “have you ever wondered if kitty cats dream?”
Hahaha David Guidry
That makes SO MUCH SENSE… not.
LEGENDARY
Just found this the other day. Hilarious! We have two grown daughters who have since moved away and started families of their own. When they were teenagers living at the house, our eldest would take long marathon showers. I wouldn't have believed the hot water system could keep up with her but I swear, she would be in there at least a good 45 minutes to an hour every time! I'm not talking total bathroom time, I'm talking from the time the water was turned on, to the time it was turned off. I asked her several times, eventually pleaded with her to try to take shorter showers because our water bill was astronomical! She said it was her "personal time to reflect upon the day and reconnect with her perspective on life." At least, that was the answer she gave. ;) Whatever! I may be a dad, but I do understand these things, but holy Lord! Can we not find another (lesser expensive) way to solve all the world's problems? The day finally came when I had enough. I opened the water bill and I can't remember if I screamed WTF or threw up a little when I saw the amount! I stormed off to the utility room still clenching the water bill and proceeded to shut off the hot water supply valve. Within seconds, I could hear the frantic thumping around trying to shut the water off because it had suddenly turned from soothing warm to ICE COLD! I know, such a petty thing to do but at the time, but I didn't care in the slightest because who was paying the water bill? I actually did that a few more times and told her how sorry I was the hot water tank could no longer keep up with her demand. Years later, I eventually confessed to her and we both laugh about it today. She has children of her own and recently told me she wouldn't hesitate to use the hot water valve trick if things ever got out of hand. I guess this proves how pettiness can be handed down from generation to generation. Kind of makes you wonder, what was the pettiest thing your parents ever did...that you know of?
I actually had the opposite from my daughter with the tooth fairy. I forgot to switch the tooth over for the money, so I had to say that the tooth fairy was very busy as it was lockdown. Next night, I found a little note in the dish she had left the tooth. It said 'tooth = money'. Oops.
I have to nag the tooth fairy with emails and texts before he shows up. If the kids can't find the money, they hunt for it with their daddy and then find it in some unexpected place that totally wasn't where daddy was just standing.
These are hilarious. I remember one morning. My kid comes to me and says mama the tooth fariy didnt come. I said are ya sure. She said yeah. I was thinking to myself. Shit i fell asleep on the couch again. So i said why dont you go to the bathroom and wash your face well look together. She agrees. I bolt up run to my room. Tripping over my coffee table on the way nearly taking me out. Get there scramble for my apron where my cash is. Grab a few bucks and bolt to her room. Shes still in the bathroom. Whew good. I rip the pillow up. Attempt to fling the money under the pillow. The bills fly free everywhere in different directions. Damn it. I sacrmble to grab the bills shove them under the pillow. As im taking my hands out from the pillow my kid comes back from the bathroom. I was like whew just in time. Hi pretty you wanna look again? We look again there are three bills scattered... and the tooth. Look mama the tooth fairy forgot the tooth too. Yeah looks like she did. I replied. Umm can i have it? She said sure and handed it to me. She was too involved with getting the money i think.
I was super petty with my kids, but in a humorous way. They totally took after me. Now that I'm the guardian of my niece and nephews, I've found that I'm out of practice. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration!!!
One time my ex brought a girl to his house and his Mom straight up said “who is this? Because it isn’t Emalee” he told me later and I laughed so hard.
Laughed so hard at the part where you said how your mom- when you moved into your new place, said "So what are you going to do if the arshole moves in?" 😅
Also loved the bratty looking little Charlotte sitting on the lemonade stand ;D ;D
The worst thing I ever done. To keep my little cousins out of my room when they came over for a visit. I would grab 2 sets of gloves. I stuck one set in my bag and the other I put on. I would take a can of tuna fish and drain the liquid into a bowl. I would mix a big tablespoon of vaseline in with the tuna liquid and rub it all over my bedroom door nob and close it. One time my aunt called screaming bloody murderer at me cuz she was angry at the weird fish smell coming from their hands. I told her I'm a grown adult and I told her many times to keep her kids out of my room while I'm at work. She never listened. For 3 days my cousins smelled like fish🤣 cuz vaseline isn't easy to take off
GENIUS!!!
Yea, and I'm sure they didn't smear any around inside your house too.
I hope it was tuna in oil, because that mixes with the Vaseline better than tuna water does, which doesn't mix at all.
Tbh I don't remember cuz it was 20 years ago
Brilliant!
Just want to say, i love watching your channel. You are Hilarious 😂
Destroying your kid's toy is beyond petty. Definitely not cool.
Sending your kid the trash they left behind is awesome, though. 🤣
Agreed.
That’s absolutely mean. To deep fry his toy?!
True. Destroying a child's belongings is a dps reportable offense.
CPS
It depends what they did. Did they intentionally destroy something someone else valued? Was it their fourth or fifth time doing so? Don’t judge too soon.
@@user-ii3vn8tn3q Nah, destroying someone else's property is generally not okay LMAO. Idc if it's a kid's stuff, that's not nice
The Tooth Fairy one was brilliant ! Loved the thought that was put into it ! Still smiling !
Love your videos! FYI, that hole in the plug is designed for a lock! :)
It's a safety feature for locking out devices that are unsafe to use. I love watching the "I was how old when I learned this" kind of stuff, lol
I was actually today years old when I learned that! Thx for sharing!
@@RoysMrs Unsafe to use seems pretty self-explanatory :)
great video as always! and for the roommate who kept eating your peanut butter, when i shared a dorm with two other girls, we had divided our small little fridge into sections. there was basically an unspoken rule that we would not touch each other's stuff. during the weekends, i would go home and stay with my family and had left a few lunchables in the fridge. one of my roommates wasn't feeling well, and she ate them and meant to replace them, but i had gotten home before she felt well enough to leave the dorm. she had such a look of fear and apologized profusely and wanted to replace the lunchables lol. i didn't really care, esp since 1. she wasn't feeling well, and she would've had to walk quite the distance to get food anyhow, and 2. she was a great roommate. we just had a laugh about it. XDXD
"Leave mommy to watch her UA-cam lady" LMAO, yes 😂
I know someone who decades ago was arrested for being part of an event to register voters. The local paper published a photo of him and his group being arrested. He used the photo for his Christmas cards that year.
Every time that I think that having kids might be a good idea, social media reminds me of why I shouldn't. More power to the people who are willing to take on the challenges but I don't have the patience at all.
Don't do it fam. Don't let them trap you. If they love you, you will be enough. If you have kids..... you'll never have your S/O to yourself again. And they eat up your food.
Social media does not explain to you why you shouldn't have kids but how many people don't know how to be parents. Just don't be scared to say NO and teach them RESPECT and it's not that crazy
Idk if y'all are joking and I'm just ruining the mood bet here it is, don't take social media into account when making such a big decision, it has to come from deep within, nothing is real in social media, it's like reality shows, all fake
If you know how to discipline your kids, then they're not little demons. Being a parent is hard, but is only unbearable if you make it that way by not knowing how to parent.
I literally laughed out loud at 3:35 because this is me 😂😂😂. Mommy wants to laugh and destress by watching her favorite UA-cam lady! They didn’t hear anything though so you’re in the clear 😆.
Miss Charlotte as Oscar the Grouch!!! 😂🤣😂🤣 I am SO here for it!
I was a little surprised by the story about Mama Dobre that was shared as I was sure it would be about her jumping to Miss Charlotte’s aid with some high class petty. Instead we’re told of a story common among many mortal parents who have witnessed our otherwise intelligent, wise, and phenomenal kids making poor relational choices. I get it for my kids since I can’t say that I’ve always been the best example but c’mon Miss Charlotte! Your folks are marriage goals! We’ve all seen them so you know what to look for. I’m with your mom on this one. No more a-holes please; we just want what’s best for you.
Lol. "Leave mommy to watch her UA-cam lady." Girl...I've never felt so seen before. 🖤
As a parent of twins, I really, really enjoyed this......
Great content, as always!!
Jesus loves you💕❤💃🎇🎉♥️🎊✨
I have 2 sets of twins and mine are older so my petty level is expert. They’re 20 and 16
I tell my kids that we send Santa the list, then after Christmas Santa sends me and Dad the bill. Ok, Santa is a glorified delivery service, but my kids appreciate that me and their Dad do a lot of the work and have some appreciation for how much Christmas costs.
Also, Charlotte, you make my day. I love you 💟
As a mother this is now my absolute favorite series!!! Love your face!
When my kids would be home during the summer, they always had chores/reading to do every day. When I caught on that they weren't doing any of it and lying, I decided to help them be more honest. I changed the wifi password every day and they had to send me pics of all the chores & a synopsis of what they had read...and I wouldn't give the password until they BOTH completed their tasks!😈
Tell me you're Canadian without telling me you're Canadian....
Charlotte bumps mic and apologises to it! Way to be a stereotype. 🤣
We can't help it! It just comes out, sorry!
I kept thinking Canadian eh?
@@Dove96 we really do say eh a lot as well!
Sorry 😅
@@CharlotteDobre Je suis désolé!
Kids lose their first tooth around age 5-6, then the rest of the lower incisors follow within the next 6 months or so. The top lateral incisors are lost around age 7/8, followed by the upper central incisors within 6 months or so again. Then you get a little break & lose your first primary molars & canines around age 10/11, and the second primary molars around age 11/12. It is very common for a child to be either dentally advanced or dentally delayed by 12-24 months so some kiddos may lose their last tooth as late as 14 and the first not until 6.5-7years old.
*The more you know* 😅
Charlotte has the most eloquent burpanese dialect I have ever heard. That's some great pronunciation Charlotte well done 👍 👏
Thank you I pride myself on my diction. ☺️
@@CharlotteDobre Diction is done with the tip of the tongue and the-*BELCH*
@@KatieForeal84 I prefer to use more of my throat in my pronunciation as it allows me to apply more bass to my speech. It provides a more... Homer Simpson Springfield dialect
My mum didn't really get on with her next door neighbor. One day she happened to find out she suffered from hayfever so decided to plant high pollinating flowers along their ajoining fence.. That's the level of petty I aspire to 🤣
How's THIS for petty? When I was in my 20s', I had my 1st hangover. I drank 12 bottles of Mickeys (beer) and 1/4 of a half-gallon of Tequila. When I got home, the front door was not an option, the doorknob kept moving (my story, sticking to it).
So, I went through the bathroom window where the shower is, but I went in head first, so when gravity took over, down I went, broke the window, took out the shower curtain too. I'm laughing cuz I know Moms is gonna kill me.
She did. She went into my room when I was passed the QUACK out, and opened up my curtains since my side of the house got the morning sun- Hello God's Flashlight. So, I notice how every little sound is VERY loud. Mom sees me and says "Awe, you have a headache? FIND SOME ASPIRIN!" So, I look everywhere, and there is none to be found (she hid it all). I tell her I cannot find any. "BETTER GO TO THE QUAKING STORE THEN!"
Yeah, she was pissed off, but I think I deserved it to a point.
I LOVE all the pettiness!!!! You could post 10 videos every day about pettiness and revenges, I'd watch all 10 every day!
Charlotte!!!! My 15 month old baby girl dances when she here’s the outtro. We love it and you.
I never gave Santa all the credit for gifts. I told my kids that, yes, there's a santa BUT he doesn't work for free. Parents still have to give him money to help pay for the toys and to make the toys. It worked. My kids got to enjoy the belief in Santa but without the limitless christmas lists because they knew there was some kind of a monetary budget and I got some well deserved credit for the gifts, too 😄
OMG, this is my favorite petty video so far! I love all your content, Charlotte (especially your singing). Thank you for being such an upbeat, positive light in my day. 💕
^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^ all day, everyday!
The hole on a plug is actually for that purpose...But this is the first time I've ever seen the lockout method used for a non-industrial purpose, it's kind of brilliant! hahaha
Is no one gonna talk about how there’s no way anyone should be picking up used tissues off a boy’s bedroom floor? No, just me? 😳🤢
Hahahahaha 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I would absolutely agree with you if he was a teenager (that stage leads to a lot of uh…….dehydration) but one usually moves past that when they move out.
Well, he didn't move past the stage of leaving trash on the floor (not even putting it into a wastebasket or a bag), so best to be safe and not touch any of the potential biohazard.
@@melissablackwood touché. I stand corrected. My head is bloodied and bowed. 😉
She has a son she knows what's up, probably used gloves
So you would leave them of the floor till he came home next semester? I would just use gloves and mail them.
Lololol, I love how you got worried about spilling the beans about Santa. 😆🎅
Love you Charlotte❤️ You make my days brighter💕
Jesus loves you💕✨🎊♥️🎉🎇💃❤
Just saw this! I have many...maaany petty parent moments because I'm THAT mom. When my 23yr old was 3 1/2 yrs old i was eating a double chocolate fudge cake late at night (she was supposed to be asleep) she wants a bite so i tell her, "oh no you don't want none of this! this is gross! Poopoo! Caca! Yuk-o's!" She looks grossed out but goes back to bed. Fast forward 7 years and she comes back from a friend's bday party SEETHING because me eating "caca", (fudge cake) made her think chocolate was GROSS and she missed out on years of treats 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Barry T. Tooth Fairy parents deserve the Parents of the Year Award! That's the best, most creative solution to a parenting problem, I've ever seen!
"This one's crying, take it back"! LMAO. 💯❗❗
I never understood the pountless Santa nonsense, I was always so glad my parents chose not to lie to me for no discernible reason. Yes, especially as a young child
Same girl, same
Kept replaying the part at 1:46, “Oh it’s crying, you can take that back!” I was rotf so much, the accuracy. Love your stuff, relatable as heck! XD💖👏
Anybody else miss Charlotte's singing? I'ma need to here her rendition of "It's A Good Day" 😂😂💃🏾💃🏾
It cost that much because it takes...hours. Yep miss her singing. Sing video please.
when I was little I lost a tooth while I was being sick, and lost it along with the vomit. I wrote a very (for a 7 year old) formaly worded letter of apology to the tooth fairy and it was only after I asked my parents if the tooth fairy system worked both ways (are they checking for teeth every night or can they somehow sense when a tooth needs to be colected?) that my parents found out I had lost a tooth at all. I did the whole writing a formal letter of apology myself. the next day I got a formal letter back from my tooth fairy (anjelica) thanking me for the thaughtfullness of my actions and that now they knew what had happened to my tooth they could easily track it through the sewage system and have it specialy cleaned. I also got twice my usual tooth fairy rate for thaughtfull and prompt action. tooth fairy lore goes deep
The Tooth Fairy letter is absolute gold!!! Lmao
Agreed. While Miss Charlotte is right that it’s a little about the kid’s reading level, the good news is that the parents now get to “translate” it into kid speak and make the point in a way the kid will more easily accept because it’s not from them but the tooth fairy. I love it. Brilliant!!
Something tells me that parent might be an attorney! That was brilliant.
I've used the play-annoying-music-to-drive my-son-outside before.
That Wham! song is a good one, but I found that "Jungle Boy" never failed. Sadly, back then I didn't have a big screen TV streaming UA-cam, or I would have put this weird video on repeat and driven him bonkers!
I think this should have been chosen instead of the classic "rick-roll" video just for sheer silliness. This is WAY more weird, and it's an earworm that invades the psyche!
(I admit, I've always liked it though 😂)

This was one of my most favourite Charlotte videos! ❤️🤣🤣
I'm living for petty parents. Petty anyone is epic in my opinion 😂
But Charlotte makes this sooo much better with her reactions
My daughter went through a stage were she wouldn’t clean her room until there was some sort of yelling match between us (she was 13). So to stop her behavior I took everything out of her room in large black garbage bags, sent her to school in matching sweats (to short and flared legs) and sweatshirt in the worst color ever. She’d have to earn back her stuff one bag at a time, never knowing what was in each bag. Now she keeps her house spotless.
Like Charlotte, I don't have kids but I'm living vicariously through these parent's pettiness. Such fun and I'm here for it!😁
That one with the padlock on the power cable is devious and I love it! May have to use that one someday to prank one of my brothers who always get me with pranks.
Oh man, I just had a flashback to the early 2000's when a friend of mine had a whole drunken rant about communicating through burps and farts! I can not believe anyone else would even bring that up.
“You’re grounded” was so punny and you didn’t even know it! I laughed… but by myself. Lol. You’re funny even when not trying.
Charlotte, I love your videos! I’ve been watching you since your days with IO and I love that you have your own channels now! ❤️👏 I just want to say that your content is always entertaining, and I appreciate all of the hard work that you put into each and every video! It clearly shows through every time! You do an amazing job! So keep up the great work! Also, I love this shade of lipstick on you darlin! 💄💋😘💖
Thank you so much Julia!!
Highlight of my day seeing Charlotte feature a Kenyan's 🇰🇪tweet!!
Trust me, as a mom of 3 boys, it’s not just spitting water back into a glass, it’s the floaty bits they add to it 🤣🤣🤢🤢
You aren’t talking about the sea monkeys are you? 😉😂🤣😂🤣 I could never eat/drink after other people……until I had kids and had no choice.
I honestly felt barfy when I read this. I love boys, but they really can be disgusting.
I've never subscribed before, but really like your videos. Keep it up and stay smiling.
My stepdad did the whole lock through electrical plugs. Also made us write essays or like “I will not talk back to my mother” over and over. He’d hand us a paper w the sentence on top n # of times to write em. Or the essay topic and how many words. Doesn’t seem like a big deal but holy hell it was torture for us. And we learned valuable lessons lol.
When I was young (70’s-80’s) my Mom hired an electrician come, cut the tv chord and make it portable, so she could take the chord with her. That way she knew we couldn’t watch tv. What she didn’t realize, was that an extension chord now worked just like the tv chord she took with her! So, we just bought one and plugged it in the second she left! It took her a couple of years to figure it out! Mamma didn’t raise no dummies!😂🤣 She was so mad when she finally figured it out!😂
The santa thing: the new trend is the parents SHOULD take credit for the good shit, because the Santa of poorer kids can't compete and it hurts that Santa got kid A a PS5 and they got some socks or whatever.
Plus it's a giant lie n then when the kids do find out, it's a breach of trust. Just saying
Santa came to our house back in the late '50's/early 60's. The trend at that time was only one or two gifts came from Santa, everything else had Mom and Dad's name on the tag. My friends were the same so it wasn't just our family. Looks like we are getting back to that.
I've managed to explain Santa is the "spirit of giving" to my kiddo (age 5) and so far it's working. She went around claiming to be Santa to our very close knit group, giving them candy and presents she got at the store for them.
She also said being Santa needs to be a paid job because she "didn't have enough dollars to be more Santa-y."
It's how it is meant to be.
Loved the Tooth Fairy Letter 💌! I may have to steal that one 😉. Awesome video as always, Thank You Charlotte!!! 😘
My parents told my brother, sister and I from the get-go that there was no Santa, no tooth fairy, no Easter bunny, etc cause they didnt want to lie to us. Man, that changed and they wished they had when we kept coming home from school with complaints cause we felt the need to inform others of the lies 🤣
That happen to me. My niece asked me if there was a Santa and I told her no. So she felt the need to tell her classmates lol. Then she later told me that she thought I was lying.
I was called by my youngest son's 2nd grade teacher because he told his classmates that there was no Santa. He had been homeschooled up to that point so we didn't think of warning him not to spill the beans.
I was raised the same and I’m raising my kids like that as well but we have included a talk about how it’s mean to burst other ppl’s bubbles. They really struggle sometimes and don’t want to lie so they just do their best to avoid any conversations about Santa with their classmates. I want them to be respectful of other ppl’s beliefs but it’s hard to be responsible for other ppl’s decisions to lie to their kids…
Can I just say you look extra beautiful today? Your waves and are shining, skin looks glowing, and that lip and nail color is bomb! You are just stunning 💖
Charlotte needs to make a T-shirt that states, “I Would Eat That!” 🤣🤣🤣
I have a couple set of almost dead double aa batteries that I will put in the remote on game day! Will also hid the jumbo pack a spare batteries. Stating that I’ll pick up some more. It’s so satisfying to watch him trying to switch between games. Lol it takes him 3 or 4 tries to change a channels. 😂.
Thanks Charlotte. I don't have any kids, and I know now I can't have any....because I would be the most petty dad imaginable. I still haven't forgiven my niece for ratting me out to my sister when I had call me dad one time to get a a girl's number ...that was when she was 3. She's 29 now... So I give her son candy whenever possible. He's like the Tazmanian Devil on candy...
Loved it lol especially eating the chocolate and trying to help him find it lol. I’m so guilty of that lol 😂
The tooth fairy letter is definitely good parenting. I just imagine the one from Family Guy rolling around in his pile of teeth, getting a rotten one, and being like, “WTF?! Oh, hell no, kid.”
hahahaha thanks for this. I looked for it on youtube and laughed. ;)
The tooth fairy letter tho...*chef's kiss 💋*
Sooooooooo good!
Fart and burp language...my husband (who taught our 2 daughters and our friends' 3 daughters) can fake fart an entire song using his armpit and or back of his knee. God I love that man!
Just re-watching, bc I’m all caught up, after I put kiddo to bed and lost it at the “leave mommy to watch the UA-cam lady!” 😂😂
This type of vídeos always give me some great ideas 😏 and i'm so petty, i want to watch this amazing Channel everyday no matter what. ❤️
In my House, when someone pass gas, they say: it was beatboxing from my other end🤷♀️😂
I Laughed so hard while drinking Tea hahahahaha almost spilled it hahahahaha love you videos Charlotte ❤
OMG the tooth fairy letter! We've done those in our house when the kids' rooms were "too messy for the tooth fairy to safely enter" and when they got their first cavities due to poor brushing (despite help from us parents).
One morning I woke up to the coffee pot on the table with a sign saying “Coffee Now!” So when the coffee was ready I took the pot (which is metal) and wooden and made beautiful music and sand the song of my people! COFFEES READY!!!
I am scarred by wooden spoons! They were my mom’s go to disciplinary tool in a house with five boys. I’m in my forties and will not be in the same room with her if she has one in her hand.
@@davidguidry657 oh I am so sorry! I should probably edit my comment. I was just banging loudly on the pot and yelling coffees ready!
@@lillyvaughn5398 you’re all kinds of good, no worries. Please don’t edit on my account. My therapist says I need to face it to move past it. 😉 Kidding, I love my mom! Even though she did smack us with wooden spoons. All of us older kids fear the spoon, our younger siblings (only girls and baby brother after an 8 year gap) have no idea why we all stand up and leave the room when mom walks in from the kitchen with a spoon in her hand. 😂🤣
@@davidguidry657 ok good lol that makes me happy
@@davidguidry657 I feel your pain. My mom was the same. And when the spoon would break while hitting us, she would say “now look what YOU made me do” and look for something else to use instead. Bad memories that never go away. And now I get to take care of her as she is in her 90s. Oh, and she likes to rewrite history (her memories) and truly believes that she was “a wonderful mother”. Good times….
To the petty parent with the lock on the plug, I salute your mastery of the petty.
My friend was a petty parent. When his son wouldn't stop getting up and playing PS games in the middle of the night, he took the door off the kids room! 😂 It rectified the situation,
My favorite petty mother moment, when my son came home drunk after going to a party he wasn't supposed to go to. I put the stereo speakers just inside his bedroom and blasted the 1812 overture, complete with cannons at 7am.
