it seems like these parents 100% think their kids "owe them something" because the parents brought the kids into the world. obviously, the kids don't owe their parents anything for existing. also, robin needs more positive subreddits!!
There was a reddit story a few years ago... an adult woman told her mother she couldn't help her mother's friends to do errands... and to please stop telling them she's available... well... mother told her to go help a person, she refused... and the next time she got back from her BF's place... her mother had her car towed to her mother's place. Obviously, the daughter went to confront her mother about the stolen car... and her mother tore up daughter's driver's license as well. Daughter, as the 23 year old adult she was, called the police. The police arrest the mother for grand theft and destruction of government property (driver's licenses were state owned property apparently). During trial... the mother's defence was "I asked my daughter to do something. She refused. I took away her car as punishment." It wasn't until the prosecutor pointed out that the "daughter" in question was 23, lived on her own, owned the title and the insurance of the vehicle, before the defence attorney convinced the mother to take a plea deal. The Judge, with advice from the daughter, decided to sentence the mother to 100 hours of community service, a fine (for the license she destroyed), and mandatory parenting classes. :D
@@aralornwolf3140 the mom did ALL of that over something so small? the mom is pathetic for doing crap like that. shame on the mom for behaving like that.
@@arcticxabyss, Not so small... "she's my daughter, she needs to do what I tell her to do." *Shrugs* Yes, that's the entitlement. She was always "volunteering" her daughter's time... as a 23 year old adult... her mother's friends aren't her responsibility, right? The daughter was very smug in convincing the Judge to send her mother to parenting classes, lol.
@@aralornwolf3140 when I said something small, I meant that it wasn't a HUGE deal that the daughter didn't want to do what her mom was making her do, even if the daughter was okay with doing it at some point. obviously, the mom shouldn't have acted as if the daughter was ALWAYS going to want to do something like that 100% of the time. but yeah, the mom had zero right to do what she did. the car was in the daughter's name and the daughter was already living on her own, so the mom was way out of line for behaving like that tbh.
@@arcticxabyss, If you ask your kid to do something, repeatedly, and they don't... do _you_ take away something they desire so they learn the lesson? I mean, that's the mother's thought process... her friend was waiting for her daughter to show up... and her daughter was late and wasn't able to be reached.. so her friend was forced to pay for a taxi/uber. That's probably why the mother was so upset with her daughter enough to commit grand theft auto. On the other hand... mother was pretty narcissistic... We can agree on that, lol. Have a good day!
I assume the “Insane” term is used as “Abusive”, while more accurate in these cases, may be a little too blunt for the people posting these. Like, personally, calling someone in my life “abusive” has never been easy for me. Though the general feeling of someone wronging you is comparatively easy, it’s hard to tell for some when it’s truly their fault. Mainly from things like induced anxiety, gaslighting, or other kinds of manipulation. At least, that’s what I figure. I can’t put it into exact words, though.
Yeah there was like only 2 here who weren't seriously abusive, these being the one who didn't wanna buy billie eilish perfume (which is just kind of stupid but in no way aggressive) and the one who banned her kid from getting coffee bc honestly coffee isn't that big of a thing
He still has some Sanity? Well then, the Moderators need to get off their butts and finish their To Do List cause Robin was supposed to have lost the last of it YEARS AGO!!! 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
You know, the hypocrisy that at least half of these parents spout really says a lot about either their lack of self-awareness or malicious desire to project their own nasty personalities onto everyone else. Made me think of a saying I heard recently: "The wheels in their heads are spinning but the hamsters are dead".
As someone with D.I.D (Dissociative Identity Disorder), it genuinely pisses me off when assholes use "Multiple Personality Disorder" as a fucking insult and as an excuse to further be shitty to their kids.
How does DID work? I’m just curious sorry, like do you become completely different each time you like change personalities if that’s the right term? Are you aware that you have changed?
Yo is that shit real because i only see multiple personalities disorder in TV shows have you actually met a case where you are talking to one person that changes to 6 different people in a spam of 5 minutes
@@DumPixelsyou can be aware but most of the time you get dissociated then when you "wake up" it could be the whole next day or the next week. This could just happen or its caused by memories. A switch can either be positively or negatively triggered
@@laughingconstantly5712it is real but it normally doesnt happen withing 5 minutes. Unless the person is rapid switching. Even then it would be a massive headache and would be exhausting
15:35 holy hell my parents are like this all the time. Before I was diagnosed with an egg allergy, they would force me to eat eggs and tell me exactly this, that I was convincing myself something was wrong. Hell, they even did it *after* I was diagnosed because they didn’t believe the doctor. Essentially this destroyed my stomach entirely. Damn I love both of them dearly, but after watching a few of these videos, I’m beginning to wonder it some of the things they did to me that I thought was normal was actually just disgusting and stupid behavior.
It's not just stupid it's abuse and force feeding you. Essentially a poison to your body that will cause you pain and if it's bad possibly your life. You can love your parents but you shouldn't deal with the abuse just because you care.
@@feuerling yeah, I’ve explained it to her several times. She thought she had a food allergy for awhile and “got over it” so she thinks I can just magically stop being allergic to stuff.
Same thing with lactose intolerant people, my sisters that apparently my knew something was wrong when she threw up every time she drank animal milk as a child. Now, as a adult she found out
Lol exactly, when he went on to the next one without ever noticing his mistake my facepalm went all the way through my head and my brain flew a lap around the room
I guess I might’ve had an insane parent moment last week. When in a forced conversation with my father he told me that because I decide to focus on my college work, and other more immediate things and not what my future’s going to be. I’m apparently taking advantage of them. I genuinely have no idea what he meant by it, and it hurts me every time I think about it. It sounds to me like he doesn’t care about me at all.
I’m sorry he said that to you. You deserve so much more than that. You should have people who support your decisions no matter what, and I hope you find that.
He’s an idiot jealous of your progress and dedication. Do not listen to him. Insecure people, always try to discourage others from their goals because they are ill equipped to manage their own.
I sent my grandma a picture of me painted blue it was supposed to be funny she’s responded with “No! I like the color god made you, you shouldn’t be trying to change it!”
I want to share a wholesome parents moment to relieve the stress y'all might have accumulated watching this vid. I and my little sisters have all ended up working night shift at different places. One of my sisters hasn't moved out yet, and the other had to move back home after an injury put her out of work for a while. Our mom has reset her sleep schedule to align with ours in order to keep from making too much noise in the day when we're sleeping. ❤ Also, I live in the next town over and since she's up all night like me, I don't have to wake up early or stay up late in order to visit and spend time with her and dad. (as far as dad goes, he works days, so he's unable to stay up as late, but he does stay up til midnight on the weekends.)
Where I live, at a funeral, it’s a custom to put up photos of the deceased from their whole life. Maybe we should print out these text messages for the funerals of these insane parents
I was just watching a comp of this earlier. I love it because it helps me realize just how awful and entitled my parents can be, yet they still aren't as nightmarish as some. Like for example... my mother is the type who punishes kids for being sick... by taking their electronics and fun things. She did that today while I had a cold, and usually she wouldn't take the phone, but tell me not to use it. Today when I told her (because she kept on saying it was just allergies), I tell her it wasn't and I had all symptoms of a cold and I've bad a sore throat for more than a week that only got worse... of course her and her ego took that poorly and she decided to not just take my phone but even my TV remotes, which she's never done. She made me feel like I was living in a prison today, and I was lucky i was able to swipe up my laptop so I could at least cope with some music or these very emkay videos. And she complains about me isolating myself... Robin, and everyone else in the emkay team, you guys rock, don't stop making this great content. I watch you guys at least once a week.
Get tested for Covid. I had my mom brush off similar symptoms as allergies so I could still attend my HS graduation rehearsal, and conveniently, she only came around immediately after. Lo and behold, I had Covid. Even after over a year I still don't forgive her for that one.
@@pkcell I've actually been worried if that might be something for me too. I will try but idk if my local dollar general has one lol (because I can't drive yet and that's the closest place in walking distance but idek if they have pharmacy stuff)
God, my mum CONSTANTLY debates me on my taste, hobbies and interests. It doesn't matter what it is, she always has sth negative to say about it and really tries to start arguments about it. I actively try not to talk to her about anything and when i talk to her i try to keep it at a minimum. I have lost count on how often she told me i am ungrateful for always being in my room and not interacting with her and my dad. I also lost count on how many times i calmly explained to her, exactly what causes this. But she refuses to change the slightest amount in her behaviour. It's sooooooo infuriating and exhausting
@@ngotemna8875it really is... gosh I think this is the closest I've come to someone being in a similar situation with the parents... just like a week ago, I was getting stoned and wanted Wendy's (it didn't kick in fully yet but I was hungry anyways) and she always tells me I have to pay for and get something fir my dad as well since it's aparently rude for me not to get him anything even though I usually just go straight to and eat in my room rather than flaunt that I bought food for myself... like jeez am I gonna move out and still have to buy people I don't like food? I'd rather feed the homeless thanks. Anyways... she told me she didn't want to get anything, but then changes her mind and expects ME to pay for HER food when she said she didn't want any. Being half stoned it's hard for me to contain my real feelings deep down and thought this situation was stupid, as it had me baffled, and when I explained calmly to her exactly what I was seeing, her wanting me to buy her stuff when she said she didn't want anything, she got mad at me for basically talking back even though I wasn't even trying to start an argument more so as stand up for myself and not let her rob me... she did end up paying for her stuff i guess but still it was stupid, plus she made this last minute choice at the window so the total was changed and I felt second hand embarrassment so yay... parents are SO COOL.
It's a year later and I hope you're out of that situation, dude, your parents are acting like dicks and just because it's better than some doesn't mean you have to put up with it
15:30 I know this feeling all to well. I was constantly getting sick as a child and my parents thought I was faking it to get out of school so they'd make me go anyway. Every time they'd have to come pick me up from school because I would get violently ill and the nurse would send me home the doctors could never seem to find anything wrong, (I didn't have a fever) years later though when my dad was renovating my old room after I moved out he found a gigantic black mold colony in my ceiling. I was constantly sick because I spent most of my time in my room because I have really bad asthma and can run a lot so I was constantly breathing in Black mold spores. TL:DR My parents thought I faked being sick as a child, turns out I was sick because of black mold.
@@skootergirl22 no there was a hole in the roof right above my room. The only reason I suffered was because I spent most of my time when I wasn't at school in my room.
Fun fact a person cannot legally be diagnosed with multi personality disorder until at least age 20 and most diagnosis do not occur until the age of 30 those symptoms may present as early as Age 5
I got a phone when I turned 12, and for about three years, the location tracker on it was absolutely pointless. If I left the house, I was going to school or with my friend's parents. it only became worthwhile sometime when I was 15, when one of my friends could drive and we would go down the street to get tacos together. all in all, I'd say it's pretty normal to have a location tracker on your kid's phone when they're 12-15, especially when they're driving alone for the first time. but it needs to be weaned off at some point. that's what my parents can't grasp. starting in the eleventh grade, my parents decided I was going to be driving to school. fine by me, it's a two and a half mile drive that I never even need to perform a lane change on. I was 16 at that point, at my parents never stepped back and re-evaluated the location tracker. they even kept driving reports on, so they would see a report of my fastest speed reached, and when my father greeted me at home, he would scold me if I was reported going faster than 45. y'all... the fastest speed limit on my route was 50. I turned 18 and was about ready to head upstate to college. I'd been taking my thirteen year old friend to teen church with me for some time, and it was the last week that I was eligible. I wanted to do something special for her, and decided to take her to get slushies after church. I told my mom and her mom ahead of time. on the way, my friend asked if we could stop by walgreens so she could buy a gift card. it was directly on an intersection that I had to drive by anyways, so I agreed, and we were there for ten-ish minutes. by the time we were getting back in the car, my mother was already calling asking what we were doing and why I was at walgreens. really? this conversation couldn't have waited until I got home? and did it really have to exist in the first place? several assorted times, they've accused me of lying about where google maps directed me because the route they followed me taking wasn't the one they preferred. my navigation skills are awful and I always drive with navigation software, and these were trips with no stops and nothing special on the way, i.e. not a trip where taking a different route benefitted me at all. during my first year of college, I made a few upperclassmen friends and was still the only one in the group with a car. I even told my mother that I was taking them somewhere or else completely mundane, and she seemed fine with it. but then she waited until I was driving to VIDEO CHAT ME, because she wanted to "meet my new friends". another time, I went to Walmart on a weeknight, and arrived back around 9:30 at night. while it was dark, I was accompanied by a friend. I was then scolded for "being out late". one of my classes got moved to zoom when my professor got sick, and 15 minutes into class, my mother calls me, demanding to know why I'm skipping class. her first assumption wasn't even that I got sick, or that class was cancelled or moved, it was that I was skipping. I told her I was in class and she called me a liar. even once I convinced her, her reaction wasn't to say "sorry for bothering you" or anything else logical, it was to press me for details about how much notice I had and what platform my professor used to notify me. after all of this... I was exhausted one weekend and didn't feel like navigating ten flights of stairs after the elevator broke. I got back from classes Friday and didn't leave until church on Sunday afternoon. my mom texted me before church time..scolding me for "holing up" all weekend. yeah, i'm 19 now and in my second year of college. currently working on growing a spine.
Yeah there’s definitely a difference between having a tracker just in case something happens and you need to find your kid, versus using a tracker to pretty much stalk and control your kid
I'm a similar age. When my parents mentioned having a location tracker on me when I left for college, I told them that they could as long as they didn't use it to stalk me and had absolutely no notifications on for my location. It's for emergency use only. Thankfully, they have complied with this and it's been a fair compromise. They have peace of mind and I have freedom to do what I want without scrutiny.
@@Disbanded9998 it would be really great if it was actually that easy, wouldn't it? i really wish i lived in the world you do, where not leaving your abusers behind is just a skill issue. i'm actually "free" to uninstall the app at any time. but do you think that really works? they've called the police on me before when i didn't answer their calls. they've threatened to make the four hour drive to take me away from campus before. even if that in particular was an empty threat, i have to go home periodically during breaks. so sorry to burst your bubble, but there's no magical snap-your-fingers fix for having your life controlled from the outside.
this video is one of the reasons why i love my mom. she’s a very understanding person and has tried to be in my life from day 1. she tries to make sure im comfortable with whatever im doing or where im at. she understands i get bad anxiety in public and checks on me every now and then. i don’t live with my mom sadly but i love her so much.
As someone addicted to caffeine, I can confirm I start getting withdrawal affects as early as the same afternoon if I miss my morning coffee. Granted, it's just a headache, but that's just day 1.
Caffeeine even makes you physically addicted (like heroin) and not just psychologically (like nicotine) Caffeeine changes your brain. Normally you produce certain hormones, but because caffeeine works like those hormones, your body builds back the glands responsible to produce those hormones. Because, why waste ressources producibg sth your body gets for free from outside? I know it's hard, but you really should reduce your caffeeine intake.
Hmm Idk, sugar definitely has withdrawals, but when some combination of sick happens coffee sometimes starts tasting foul and too unplesant for the throat, so when stopping forcing it out of habit after a small while, I stop lamenting its absense pretty quick without apparent symptoms. Or maybe they are just mixed up with the rest of the cacophony of being sick🤔. No obsessive desire to cosume it though, apart from the first few times forcing it out of habit
@@FlamesAndShadows Like anything addictive, it might not stick as hard for some people. A friend of mine was drinking coffee as often as I was for a bit, since he was living with me at the time, but he didn't even have a headache the first day he went without. It's probably a good thing I don't smoke or drink...
“How many homeschooled kids can’t even read?” Gave me chills… do conservatives really have that much power now? Do you not even need to be able to *PROVE* that you are *CAPABLE* of homeschooling your kids anymore?!

@@crazymartin526 I'm not sure. He was a domestic abuser but with how much he hated me you'd think he would've wanted me to move out. I thought it was because of him wanting my money. But then my older brother told me that our "dad" had done the same to him.
The prison dad doesn’t seem insane or abusive from those messages, depending on what he’s in jail for it seems to me like he just missed his daughter after she ghosted him
11:34 as an almost 17-year old who spent the entire summer hunting for jobs, I’d say both are in the wrong. I didn’t realize you were supposed to CALL BACK for applications, but my mom (and this one) didn’t explain that, so obviously nothing got done.
12:24 “This is manipulative” and then soon reply with “I love you” and “sorry that this is how you respond to me trying to set a healthy boundary” seems pretty manipulative to me.
0:40 as a Christian, what it's referring to is the fact that God is a constant, much like the laws of the Universe (such as physics), as well as math, which doesn't change and follows God by showing that He is constant, like how the number 4 is considered a constant in math/algebra
I love that this generation is realizing and doing something about the absolute rift and borderline abuse that their parents give them. Cause my siblings just dealt with it, while I actively struggled and questioned the systems put in place. “Why should I listen to you? Just cause you’re older than me?” Cause lets be honest, half of the older generation couldn’t use a tv remote unless every button was labeled and had subsections, much less introduce them to the internet. They don’t know what they’re saying, they don’t know the difference between fact or fiction. When I showed my mom something that upset me over the internet, she says, “well, send them a message! Tell them to stop contacting you! Or just get off the internet!” They think your problems dissipate once you turn off your phone. “Well, my phones off, so I don’t have depression or Autism anymore!” They’re out of touch and we’re out of patience.
7:17 - that kinda brought up a not so fond memory. I lost a few family members through the late 2010's and covid. My grandfather was in hospice care, we knew it was only a matter of time before he passed. Mom nearly gave me a heart attack with a premature dip in his health... literally a couple of days after my birthday and I was 4 hours away just packing to come home from a convention. But.... between this time and the time my grandfather actually passed, my idiot of a cousin decided to go abroad and said that he'd just get the next flight back when things go south. Long story short, he never did see our grandfather again and that caused him a LOT of emotional pain. While I did feel a bit sorry, at the same time his self centred arrogant ass did it to himself.
My parents did the same thing to me with the DID thing, except they got me misdiagnosed with autism intentionally to say that I was this awful demon child and their bad parenting wasn't their fault.
I feel you. I'm full on schizoaffective bipolar type. Diagnosed late but early onset. In the 80s. Childhood was such FUN! My family nickname was Nightmare.
3:29 It’s even worse when you remember They changed the name of Multiple Personality to Dissociative Identity Disorder all the way back in 1994. The mom didn’t even bother using the current actual name for the condition
At first I used to think my parents were too boring, then this sub made me see the truth. Thank god or whichever deity you prefer that my parents are just plain and boring.
Funny thing... Notifications on your Phone are not a guaranteed thing. My phone is Factory-Set to not automatically enable notifications for new Apps, so i have to turn them on myself. So it's entirely possible that the person didn't have the Venmo Notifs enabled.

The "multiple personality" Mom reminds me of my stepmom. When my sister was admitted to inpatient care, she told the doctors she (sis) had scizophrenia and that it runs in the family since our mom and grandpa have/had it too. It's in my sisters records but neither she nor Mom or Grandpa ever got a diagnosis

The math and God one isn’t even true. Parts of math are always shifting. We didn’t always have imaginary numbers, or Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem. We had to be creative and try new problems in order to discover these aspects of math.
It is though.. it's still called the universal language. Imaginary numbers don't change either. 😂 Square root of 2 doesn't change. Idk about that theorem, but I'm certain it doesn't change either. 😂 So GIT transforms to a 2.. now a 5..? No
@@Alexa-Raine Fair points. I moreso meant that math is the universal language, but for a while we thought that such a language couldn't contain square roots of negative numbers, or that math was complete. We thought both those ideas were impossible, but they weren't. Maybe I should have phrased my words differently - math didn't change, but our understanding of it did.
@@IEnjoyChai I agree.🎯 That's a good point. Oh and I meant "root of -2" lol I think religion is incompatible with math due specifically to your point. We will never have new understandings of religious myths, yet our understandings of math and science are ever evolving. I may have been rude and silly. Sorry bout that. You're absolutely right. 😊

Took me 19 seconds to need to pause. *19 seconds.* As someone that knows people that were (unfortunately) homeschooled, I can only hope they weren't programmed to infuse religion into everything. They seem mostly sane... But then around a few key subjects, I know they're mentally opening the bible to repeat what they've been told is correct by a book thousands of years old and subject to the control of corrupt humans.
@@Alexa-Raine I was always thinking why is religion like a not insane thing to believe in? Your called crazy,lunatic,insane,unhinged or mentally ill if you believe in other worlds,monsters,ghost,spirits and etc but you can't do that to religious people when it is essentially the same thing because faith? I wonder if theirs a medical study done on religious people especially the kids that grew up in religious schools and strict religious communities if they grew up with insanity for two. Which is a way to spread one delusion to another person by making them generally believe in it and they are willing to take it to the grave.
@@Milk-ck1wv Ya, it's kinda wild.. especially when they say stuff like "Jeebrus speaks to me" or "doG will guide me" 🤨sssooo... You're hearing voices in your head?!?😦
@@Milk-ck1wv *I have nothing against religious people, do what helps you cope but the only thing I dislike is trying to rope everybody into the same boat as if religion is anything factual or scientific and not just some thing that some people choose to believe in.* I guess because when a majority or alot of people do/believe in something it becomes "normal" even if it isnt. Normality is defined by what society thinks I suppose. The same way it was typical to accuse people of witchcraft back then and actually be prosecuted over baseless stupid accusations maybe? For some reason the whole God thing just stuck around for longer instead of getting wiped out along the way like other parts of historical behavior.
0:18 This reminds me of a really good quote: "While the other sciences search for the rules that God has chosen for this Universe, we mathematicians search for the rules that even God has to obey" - J. P. Serre And if you don't trust him, look up axioms.
Poor Robin, his angst is too entertaining and I'm guessing that's why he tends to narrate these kinds of vids, but the poor thing needs some soul bleach STAT! PS: As a mother of still young kids, I can imagine going from knowing everything from the mole on the inside of their little toe, to the size/shape/consistency of their last BM, from every medical snippet of information going through you first, to overnight refused access, must be a hard transition....but as a former child of an "insane" mother I hope that when that time comes for me I'll accept it with the damn respect my kids deserve!
Because of these parents I always think my parents came STRAIGHT from Mother Nature- Btw robin 34M means 34 yr old male and 70f means 70 yr old female...
14:47 my boyfriends parents still make him call them mommy and daddy. the man is 20 with a full time factory job, dont they realize how... strange it is to try and enforce that on their kids? (his brother is 23 and has to do it too). i can't wrap my head around it. let them grow up and stop trying to live in a fantasyland
10:56 I feel like they might not be an a**hole because they can't be wasting all these things when they are not paying for it. I can also see why they are being an a**hole, but I think I am on the side of them not being one
When children/teens off their parents and its a tragedy and oh so horrible, a voice in my head always asks for context. I am not saying the parent(s) had to have been abusive, of course not, but my mind is always uneasy. I mean, some of these people must have been a horror to have as parents.
Seeing this sub hurts a lot not because I have awful parents (becausd I don't) but because my parter does and they think they would be an ungreatful child if they even talked about it. Their mom keeps sugesting they're ugle and one day they forgot about them and blamed THEM. Like, my partner didn't do anything, they just sat there crying thinking their family doesn't care and then they pick them up and start scolding them because they don't want to accept the blame
12:55 Thats my me lol, didnt expect to show up in an emkay vid any time soon but thank robin! if anyone would like any extra context id be happy to explain =)
10:40 this is the tamest AITA post I've ever come across, and frankly, not the asshole really The kid doesn't NEED to get a job, but CAN if he wants money or his own money. Plus you can't really claim people aren't trying hard enough when getting a job is fucked in itself, especially the US. The mom was just looking for an excuse for the kid to get a job so she "lost it", but no, not the asshole really.
10:49 context is needed here. - Is this a common occurrence or a one time thing? If it’s a common occurrence, then yes this is a little insane. But however, if this is a one time occurrence this is not insane behavior. Sometimes, people use find my to check if someone is at work or not without asking them via text as to not interrupt them. This could’ve been something like that and the mother saw the phone was next to a trash bin not realizing it was a smoke break, so she simply asked if OP had their phone with them or if they lost it.
Funny fact: You try homeschooling your kids like that in Austria and you can bet those kids will be in school again soon. Do kids in America not get tested on what they learned at home?
@@skootergirl22 sry I guess I wasn't clear on what I meant. Children here get tested to check their progress if they are homeschooled. If the child can't pass the test, they will be forced to attend a school again the following year.
My mom, who was terrible, told me once that since she wasn’t the one seeing a psychiatrist I must be wrong. She’d often say that I’m crazy, so she should make decisions for me. Anyway, I blocked her and she’s dead now. Life is much nicer without her.

I am thankful that my parents are loving and intelligent. Even if I’m 15(going-on 16 as of typing), I still take time to thank them and express my love for them every day. They are kind, generous, understanding, and compromising. For me to ask for anything better than them would be foolish. Even if this video shows that some parents’ actions are not worthy of raising children, please take time to appreciate the ones who are. Though, this video is fully justified to call the wrong ones out, don’t get me wrong. May karma forgive the people here who had to deal with these in the end. (And since this is a Reddit video, I must specify; I mean “Karma” by both definitions).
11:58 last time i checked, the standard practice for job hunting is that the recruiter will call you IF THEY WANT TO HIRE YOU. otherwise, they were, are, and prolly will always be, masters of ghosting potential employees. it pjsses me off to no end X(
Idk why but I relate to some of these (IM 11 BTW) and here’s a silly funny short story I have: I was on vacation with my full family + my aunt and uncle and my dad thought it would be funny to POUR WATER ON MY HEAD (everyone laughed at me and I cried)
I had a moment where my dad wanted me to buy a pack of Kool aid where I used to work, I told him "no, let's just wait until my mom comes home cause it's cheaper where she works". He told me again to buy it but this time brought my sister into this. I told him to just wait another hour until she gets home. Then he pulls out "Fine, I only wanted you to be a good sister."
As someone who always 'lucked out' to have their class on the morning shift (apart from 1 year where we switched every 2 weeks to make feel the unfairness 😢 that someone had the luxury all the time) and never been a morning person coffee is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY. While never having the audacity to just blatantly sleep in class would only kind of emerge from the haze by the third period without it (or later if sleep schedule was somewhat disturbed), to be capable of emerging from the autopilot mode and paying at least some attention.
it seems like these parents 100% think their kids "owe them something" because the parents brought the kids into the world. obviously, the kids don't owe their parents anything for existing.
also, robin needs more positive subreddits!!
There was a reddit story a few years ago... an adult woman told her mother she couldn't help her mother's friends to do errands... and to please stop telling them she's available... well... mother told her to go help a person, she refused... and the next time she got back from her BF's place... her mother had her car towed to her mother's place.
Obviously, the daughter went to confront her mother about the stolen car... and her mother tore up daughter's driver's license as well. Daughter, as the 23 year old adult she was, called the police. The police arrest the mother for grand theft and destruction of government property (driver's licenses were state owned property apparently).
During trial... the mother's defence was "I asked my daughter to do something. She refused. I took away her car as punishment." It wasn't until the prosecutor pointed out that the "daughter" in question was 23, lived on her own, owned the title and the insurance of the vehicle, before the defence attorney convinced the mother to take a plea deal.
The Judge, with advice from the daughter, decided to sentence the mother to 100 hours of community service, a fine (for the license she destroyed), and mandatory parenting classes. :D
@@aralornwolf3140 the mom did ALL of that over something so small? the mom is pathetic for doing crap like that. shame on the mom for behaving like that.
@@arcticxabyss,
Not so small... "she's my daughter, she needs to do what I tell her to do." *Shrugs*
Yes, that's the entitlement. She was always "volunteering" her daughter's time... as a 23 year old adult... her mother's friends aren't her responsibility, right?
The daughter was very smug in convincing the Judge to send her mother to parenting classes, lol.
@@aralornwolf3140 when I said something small, I meant that it wasn't a HUGE deal that the daughter didn't want to do what her mom was making her do, even if the daughter was okay with doing it at some point. obviously, the mom shouldn't have acted as if the daughter was ALWAYS going to want to do something like that 100% of the time. but yeah, the mom had zero right to do what she did. the car was in the daughter's name and the daughter was already living on her own, so the mom was way out of line for behaving like that tbh.
@@arcticxabyss,
If you ask your kid to do something, repeatedly, and they don't... do _you_ take away something they desire so they learn the lesson?
I mean, that's the mother's thought process... her friend was waiting for her daughter to show up... and her daughter was late and wasn't able to be reached.. so her friend was forced to pay for a taxi/uber. That's probably why the mother was so upset with her daughter enough to commit grand theft auto.
On the other hand... mother was pretty narcissistic... We can agree on that, lol.
Have a good day!
Can't we just rename this subreddit to r/abusiveparents? Because this is all abusive parents.
I was about to vote "Mediocre", but this completely fair.
I assume the “Insane” term is used as “Abusive”, while more accurate in these cases, may be a little too blunt for the people posting these. Like, personally, calling someone in my life “abusive” has never been easy for me. Though the general feeling of someone wronging you is comparatively easy, it’s hard to tell for some when it’s truly their fault. Mainly from things like induced anxiety, gaslighting, or other kinds of manipulation.
At least, that’s what I figure. I can’t put it into exact words, though.
Yeah there was like only 2 here who weren't seriously abusive, these being the one who didn't wanna buy billie eilish perfume (which is just kind of stupid but in no way aggressive) and the one who banned her kid from getting coffee bc honestly coffee isn't that big of a thing
Exactly! My parents are absolutely insane, but _far_ from abusive. They’re great parents
@@Deasty those are far from "insane". not wanting to support billie eilish and not wanting to give your kid coffee are completely reasonable.
Please give Robin some better subreddits... we're genuinely concerned about his sanity. Also he has an adorable laugh, come on.
He still has some Sanity?
Well then, the Moderators need to get off their butts and finish their To Do List cause Robin was supposed to have lost the last of it YEARS AGO!!!
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Stop complaining.
Give him r/funny
i'm pretty sure he's said that he enjoys these subreddits.
Petition for more positive subreddits for Robin
You know, the hypocrisy that at least half of these parents spout really says a lot about either their lack of self-awareness or malicious desire to project their own nasty personalities onto everyone else. Made me think of a saying I heard recently: "The wheels in their heads are spinning but the hamsters are dead".
To the people asking to give Robin the nice subs. In a video sometime ago he himself said he liked the angry subs despite getting angry
The anger fuels him...
@@bluelobster4593probably has a masochistic personality
As someone with D.I.D (Dissociative Identity Disorder), it genuinely pisses me off when assholes use "Multiple Personality Disorder" as a fucking insult and as an excuse to further be shitty to their kids.
How does DID work? I’m just curious sorry, like do you become completely different each time you like change personalities if that’s the right term? Are you aware that you have changed?
Yo is that shit real because i only see multiple personalities disorder in TV shows have you actually met a case where you are talking to one person that changes to 6 different people in a spam of 5 minutes
I also have D.I.D. I was diagnosed but my parents still insist I'm lying about it. It's horrible to see this as an insult.
@@DumPixelsyou can be aware but most of the time you get dissociated then when you "wake up" it could be the whole next day or the next week. This could just happen or its caused by memories. A switch can either be positively or negatively triggered
@@laughingconstantly5712it is real but it normally doesnt happen withing 5 minutes. Unless the person is rapid switching. Even then it would be a massive headache and would be exhausting
15:35 holy hell my parents are like this all the time. Before I was diagnosed with an egg allergy, they would force me to eat eggs and tell me exactly this, that I was convincing myself something was wrong. Hell, they even did it *after* I was diagnosed because they didn’t believe the doctor. Essentially this destroyed my stomach entirely. Damn I love both of them dearly, but after watching a few of these videos, I’m beginning to wonder it some of the things they did to me that I thought was normal was actually just disgusting and stupid behavior.
It's not just stupid it's abuse and force feeding you. Essentially a poison to your body that will cause you pain and if it's bad possibly your life. You can love your parents but you shouldn't deal with the abuse just because you care.
My mom thinks if I have my epipen I can eat shellfish.
@@MaddysinLeigh Does she not understand how they work
@@feuerling yeah, I’ve explained it to her several times. She thought she had a food allergy for awhile and “got over it” so she thinks I can just magically stop being allergic to stuff.
Same thing with lactose intolerant people, my sisters that apparently my knew something was wrong when she threw up every time she drank animal milk as a child. Now, as a adult she found out

I guess I might’ve had an insane parent moment last week. When in a forced conversation with my father he told me that because I decide to focus on my college work, and other more immediate things and not what my future’s going to be. I’m apparently taking advantage of them.
I genuinely have no idea what he meant by it, and it hurts me every time I think about it. It sounds to me like he doesn’t care about me at all.
I apologize that happened to you. Sending love and light your way, fellow Emkay viewer.
????????? the hell is that supposed to mean?? i would be confused too
I’m sorry he said that to you. You deserve so much more than that. You should have people who support your decisions no matter what, and I hope you find that.
He’s an idiot jealous of your progress and dedication. Do not listen to him. Insecure people, always try to discourage others from their goals because they are ill equipped to manage their own.
ah yes college, the complete opposite of planning for the future
I sent my grandma a picture of me painted blue it was supposed to be funny she’s responded with “No! I like the color god made you, you shouldn’t be trying to change it!”

I want to share a wholesome parents moment to relieve the stress y'all might have accumulated watching this vid.
I and my little sisters have all ended up working night shift at different places. One of my sisters hasn't moved out yet, and the other had to move back home after an injury put her out of work for a while. Our mom has reset her sleep schedule to align with ours in order to keep from making too much noise in the day when we're sleeping. ❤
Also, I live in the next town over and since she's up all night like me, I don't have to wake up early or stay up late in order to visit and spend time with her and dad. (as far as dad goes, he works days, so he's unable to stay up as late, but he does stay up til midnight on the weekends.)
Aww I'm glad your parents are good
10:33 that misunderstanding of what M and F stands for was hillarious
Where I live, at a funeral, it’s a custom to put up photos of the deceased from their whole life. Maybe we should print out these text messages for the funerals of these insane parents
Absolutely.
Good idea and let people dance on their graves and spit on those bodies
That's just pretty insensitive, no matter how insane these parents are
@@GamepadStudiosso were the parents.
@@GamepadStudios and? they ruined early lives.
I was just watching a comp of this earlier. I love it because it helps me realize just how awful and entitled my parents can be, yet they still aren't as nightmarish as some.
Like for example... my mother is the type who punishes kids for being sick... by taking their electronics and fun things. She did that today while I had a cold, and usually she wouldn't take the phone, but tell me not to use it. Today when I told her (because she kept on saying it was just allergies), I tell her it wasn't and I had all symptoms of a cold and I've bad a sore throat for more than a week that only got worse... of course her and her ego took that poorly and she decided to not just take my phone but even my TV remotes, which she's never done. She made me feel like I was living in a prison today, and I was lucky i was able to swipe up my laptop so I could at least cope with some music or these very emkay videos. And she complains about me isolating myself...
Robin, and everyone else in the emkay team, you guys rock, don't stop making this great content. I watch you guys at least once a week.
Get tested for Covid. I had my mom brush off similar symptoms as allergies so I could still attend my HS graduation rehearsal, and conveniently, she only came around immediately after. Lo and behold, I had Covid. Even after over a year I still don't forgive her for that one.
@@pkcell I've actually been worried if that might be something for me too. I will try but idk if my local dollar general has one lol (because I can't drive yet and that's the closest place in walking distance but idek if they have pharmacy stuff)
God, my mum CONSTANTLY debates me on my taste, hobbies and interests.
It doesn't matter what it is, she always has sth negative to say about it and really tries to start arguments about it.
I actively try not to talk to her about anything and when i talk to her i try to keep it at a minimum.
I have lost count on how often she told me i am ungrateful for always being in my room and not interacting with her and my dad.
I also lost count on how many times i calmly explained to her, exactly what causes this.
But she refuses to change the slightest amount in her behaviour.
It's sooooooo infuriating and exhausting
@@ngotemna8875it really is... gosh I think this is the closest I've come to someone being in a similar situation with the parents... just like a week ago, I was getting stoned and wanted Wendy's (it didn't kick in fully yet but I was hungry anyways) and she always tells me I have to pay for and get something fir my dad as well since it's aparently rude for me not to get him anything even though I usually just go straight to and eat in my room rather than flaunt that I bought food for myself... like jeez am I gonna move out and still have to buy people I don't like food? I'd rather feed the homeless thanks. Anyways... she told me she didn't want to get anything, but then changes her mind and expects ME to pay for HER food when she said she didn't want any. Being half stoned it's hard for me to contain my real feelings deep down and thought this situation was stupid, as it had me baffled, and when I explained calmly to her exactly what I was seeing, her wanting me to buy her stuff when she said she didn't want anything, she got mad at me for basically talking back even though I wasn't even trying to start an argument more so as stand up for myself and not let her rob me... she did end up paying for her stuff i guess but still it was stupid, plus she made this last minute choice at the window so the total was changed and I felt second hand embarrassment so yay... parents are SO COOL.
It's a year later and I hope you're out of that situation, dude, your parents are acting like dicks and just because it's better than some doesn't mean you have to put up with it
15:30 I know this feeling all to well. I was constantly getting sick as a child and my parents thought I was faking it to get out of school so they'd make me go anyway. Every time they'd have to come pick me up from school because I would get violently ill and the nurse would send me home the doctors could never seem to find anything wrong, (I didn't have a fever) years later though when my dad was renovating my old room after I moved out he found a gigantic black mold colony in my ceiling. I was constantly sick because I spent most of my time in my room because I have really bad asthma and can run a lot so I was constantly breathing in Black mold spores.
TL:DR My parents thought I faked being sick as a child, turns out I was sick because of black mold.
You would think they would suffer as well
@@skootergirl22 no there was a hole in the roof right above my room.
The only reason I suffered was because I spent most of my time when I wasn't at school in my room.
Fun fact a person cannot legally be diagnosed with multi personality disorder until at least age 20 and most diagnosis do not occur until the age of 30 those symptoms may present as early as Age 5
not to be rude, but please try to avoid "multiple personality disorder" as it's become stigmitzed.
I got a phone when I turned 12, and for about three years, the location tracker on it was absolutely pointless. If I left the house, I was going to school or with my friend's parents. it only became worthwhile sometime when I was 15, when one of my friends could drive and we would go down the street to get tacos together.
all in all, I'd say it's pretty normal to have a location tracker on your kid's phone when they're 12-15, especially when they're driving alone for the first time. but it needs to be weaned off at some point.
that's what my parents can't grasp. starting in the eleventh grade, my parents decided I was going to be driving to school. fine by me, it's a two and a half mile drive that I never even need to perform a lane change on.
I was 16 at that point, at my parents never stepped back and re-evaluated the location tracker. they even kept driving reports on, so they would see a report of my fastest speed reached, and when my father greeted me at home, he would scold me if I was reported going faster than 45. y'all... the fastest speed limit on my route was 50.
I turned 18 and was about ready to head upstate to college. I'd been taking my thirteen year old friend to teen church with me for some time, and it was the last week that I was eligible. I wanted to do something special for her, and decided to take her to get slushies after church. I told my mom and her mom ahead of time. on the way, my friend asked if we could stop by walgreens so she could buy a gift card. it was directly on an intersection that I had to drive by anyways, so I agreed, and we were there for ten-ish minutes. by the time we were getting back in the car, my mother was already calling asking what we were doing and why I was at walgreens. really? this conversation couldn't have waited until I got home? and did it really have to exist in the first place?
several assorted times, they've accused me of lying about where google maps directed me because the route they followed me taking wasn't the one they preferred. my navigation skills are awful and I always drive with navigation software, and these were trips with no stops and nothing special on the way, i.e. not a trip where taking a different route benefitted me at all.
during my first year of college, I made a few upperclassmen friends and was still the only one in the group with a car. I even told my mother that I was taking them somewhere or else completely mundane, and she seemed fine with it. but then she waited until I was driving to VIDEO CHAT ME, because she wanted to "meet my new friends".
another time, I went to Walmart on a weeknight, and arrived back around 9:30 at night. while it was dark, I was accompanied by a friend. I was then scolded for "being out late".
one of my classes got moved to zoom when my professor got sick, and 15 minutes into class, my mother calls me, demanding to know why I'm skipping class. her first assumption wasn't even that I got sick, or that class was cancelled or moved, it was that I was skipping. I told her I was in class and she called me a liar. even once I convinced her, her reaction wasn't to say "sorry for bothering you" or anything else logical, it was to press me for details about how much notice I had and what platform my professor used to notify me.
after all of this... I was exhausted one weekend and didn't feel like navigating ten flights of stairs after the elevator broke. I got back from classes Friday and didn't leave until church on Sunday afternoon. my mom texted me before church time..scolding me for "holing up" all weekend.
yeah, i'm 19 now and in my second year of college. currently working on growing a spine.
Yeah there’s definitely a difference between having a tracker just in case something happens and you need to find your kid, versus using a tracker to pretty much stalk and control your kid
I'm a similar age. When my parents mentioned having a location tracker on me when I left for college, I told them that they could as long as they didn't use it to stalk me and had absolutely no notifications on for my location. It's for emergency use only. Thankfully, they have complied with this and it's been a fair compromise. They have peace of mind and I have freedom to do what I want without scrutiny.

As someone addicted to caffeine, I can confirm I start getting withdrawal affects as early as the same afternoon if I miss my morning coffee.
Granted, it's just a headache, but that's just day 1.
Bro caffeine is a drug, so is sugar
Caffeeine even makes you physically addicted (like heroin) and not just psychologically (like nicotine)
Caffeeine changes your brain.
Normally you produce certain hormones, but because caffeeine works like those hormones, your body builds back the glands responsible to produce those hormones.
Because, why waste ressources producibg sth your body gets for free from outside?
I know it's hard, but you really should reduce your caffeeine intake.
Hmm Idk, sugar definitely has withdrawals, but when some combination of sick happens coffee sometimes starts tasting foul and too unplesant for the throat, so when stopping forcing it out of habit after a small while, I stop lamenting its absense pretty quick without apparent symptoms. Or maybe they are just mixed up with the rest of the cacophony of being sick🤔. No obsessive desire to cosume it though, apart from the first few times forcing it out of habit
@@skootergirl22 Only just saw that response, to which I say: Yes. That's part of my point. I'm addicted to it, like a drug.
@@FlamesAndShadows Like anything addictive, it might not stick as hard for some people.
A friend of mine was drinking coffee as often as I was for a bit, since he was living with me at the time, but he didn't even have a headache the first day he went without.
It's probably a good thing I don't smoke or drink...
“How many homeschooled kids can’t even read?” Gave me chills… do conservatives really have that much power now? Do you not even need to be able to *PROVE* that you are *CAPABLE* of homeschooling your kids anymore?!

We don't have the power, so this why we are doing this.
I may not agree with it, im just telling you why.

Emkay viewers when Robin gets a rage inducing subreddit:"Noooo don't do this, give Robin wholesome subreddits"
Emkay viewers after Robin gets nothing but wholesome subreddits for 12 videos: "Thank god he's finally getting a single wholesome subreddit, Robin only gets the bad."
I don't have a problem with this I just think it's funny
(But seriously, there was a period of only wholesome subreddits for Robin for like, 12 of his videos)
he had 12 in a row, then no more. it isn't unfair to go "hey, shouldn't these be more spaced out?"
Ah. I remember when my "dad" discovered I was moving out. He slammed me into the bathroom wall and choked me. Parents, am I right?
Goddam spongebob was it that cousin or brother that came to visit?
@@Milk-ck1wv cousin definitely lol
Okay i need to know,why did he do that??? Like did he think it would change your mind and stay????
@@crazymartin526 I'm not sure. He was a domestic abuser but with how much he hated me you'd think he would've wanted me to move out. I thought it was because of him wanting my money. But then my older brother told me that our "dad" had done the same to him.
@@AbrasiveSpongebob my guess is he wanted you to stay so he could abuse someone. Hope you went No contact with him
7:16 Didn't you know? Grandparents are like Pokemon cards. "Yeah, i'll trade my charizard for your card. I have two anyways". Same with grandparents.
It genuinely baffles me how people like this can exist
It should be illegal to homeschool your children unless you've gotten a permit or meet certain requirements.
I’m happy Robin reads these subreddits. Someone needs to be this angry, and I don’t think anyone else can
The prison dad doesn’t seem insane or abusive from those messages, depending on what he’s in jail for it seems to me like he just missed his daughter after she ghosted him
11:34 as an almost 17-year old who spent the entire summer hunting for jobs, I’d say both are in the wrong. I didn’t realize you were supposed to CALL BACK for applications, but my mom (and this one) didn’t explain that, so obviously nothing got done.
12:24 “This is manipulative” and then soon reply with “I love you” and “sorry that this is how you respond to me trying to set a healthy boundary” seems pretty manipulative to me.
6:01 Oh Robin, buddy. The difference between former and latter can kill someone even faster than a misplaced comma.
0:40 as a Christian, what it's referring to is the fact that God is a constant, much like the laws of the Universe (such as physics), as well as math, which doesn't change and follows God by showing that He is constant, like how the number 4 is considered a constant in math/algebra
I love that this generation is realizing and doing something about the absolute rift and borderline abuse that their parents give them. Cause my siblings just dealt with it, while I actively struggled and questioned the systems put in place. “Why should I listen to you? Just cause you’re older than me?”
Cause lets be honest, half of the older generation couldn’t use a tv remote unless every button was labeled and had subsections, much less introduce them to the internet. They don’t know what they’re saying, they don’t know the difference between fact or fiction. When I showed my mom something that upset me over the internet, she says, “well, send them a message! Tell them to stop contacting you! Or just get off the internet!”
They think your problems dissipate once you turn off your phone. “Well, my phones off, so I don’t have depression or Autism anymore!”
They’re out of touch and we’re out of patience.
7:17 - that kinda brought up a not so fond memory. I lost a few family members through the late 2010's and covid.
My grandfather was in hospice care, we knew it was only a matter of time before he passed. Mom nearly gave me a heart attack with a premature dip in his health... literally a couple of days after my birthday and I was 4 hours away just packing to come home from a convention.
But.... between this time and the time my grandfather actually passed, my idiot of a cousin decided to go abroad and said that he'd just get the next flight back when things go south.
Long story short, he never did see our grandfather again and that caused him a LOT of emotional pain. While I did feel a bit sorry, at the same time his self centred arrogant ass did it to himself.
This subreddit gives me unforseen anger I cannot explain.
not the only one here.
My parents did the same thing to me with the DID thing, except they got me misdiagnosed with autism intentionally to say that I was this awful demon child and their bad parenting wasn't their fault.
I feel you. I'm full on schizoaffective bipolar type. Diagnosed late but early onset. In the 80s.
Childhood was such FUN! My family nickname was Nightmare.
3:29 It’s even worse when you remember They changed the name of Multiple Personality to Dissociative Identity Disorder all the way back in 1994. The mom didn’t even bother using the current actual name for the condition
I know tiktokers love to fake it
My grandmother tried pulling the same "Hinting instead of communicating" bullsh*t and it was horribly manipulative.
Love the vid, hope Robin gets some happy subreddits
At first I used to think my parents were too boring, then this sub made me see the truth. Thank god or whichever deity you prefer that my parents are just plain and boring.
Funny thing...

10:33 the post didnt say 34
y/o mother and 70 y/o father. It said op was a 34 y/o male and his mother was a 70 y/o female
Ya, for clarity, instead of "Just my (34m).." they shoulda said "Just me(34m) and my.."
Anyone who thinks math is godly has clearly never taken calculus.

0:21 the start of video and i'm already infuriated. First of all, most Christians are normal people who's reputations are ruined by people like this. Second of all, math exists
The "multiple personality" Mom reminds me of my stepmom. When my sister was admitted to inpatient care, she told the doctors she (sis) had scizophrenia and that it runs in the family since our mom and grandpa have/had it too. It's in my sisters records but neither she nor Mom or Grandpa ever got a diagnosis
Stop giving Robin the anger inducing subreddits, it can’t be good for his blood pressure.
im a middle child i can confirm we are forgotten
who are you again?
Agreed my good sir
WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE
I’m the oldest and I’m still forgotten

Prime numbers: “We boutta ruin this deity’s whole career”
The math and God one isn’t even true. Parts of math are always shifting. We didn’t always have imaginary numbers, or Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem. We had to be creative and try new problems in order to discover these aspects of math.
It is though.. it's still called the universal language.
Imaginary numbers don't change either. 😂
Square root of 2 doesn't change.
Idk about that theorem, but I'm certain it doesn't change either. 😂
So GIT transforms to a 2.. now a 5..? No
@@Alexa-Raine Fair points. I moreso meant that math is the universal language, but for a while we thought that such a language couldn't contain square roots of negative numbers, or that math was complete. We thought both those ideas were impossible, but they weren't. Maybe I should have phrased my words differently - math didn't change, but our understanding of it did.
@@IEnjoyChai I agree.🎯 That's a good point.
Oh and I meant "root of -2" lol
I think religion is incompatible with math due specifically to your point.
We will never have new understandings of religious myths, yet our understandings of math and science are ever evolving.
I may have been rude and silly. Sorry bout that.
You're absolutely right. 😊
14:14 my aunt does this crap. You tell her that she’s doing something that makes you uncomfortable or hurtful she just goes “well I’m sorry if I did something wrong I just won’t ever do anything again”
Lemme guess, the last guy pulled a mr. Krabs and said "They must have put me third tooth in me pants!"
parent: implies you cannot or must do something. Kid: does the opposite and usually behind your back. The parent screaming even if he did know this rule
7:54 I believe they meant to say "turn your ringer on."
im terrified of losing my parents. what’s unsettling with this subreddit is the relationship these people have with their parents, and the way these crazy parents react, are similar if not exactly how my parents would/have react(ed) to some situations, some of which arent even as extreme as most of these! maybe its just foreshadowing, idk, but its weird to say the least…
Its sad that people love their abusers but work on yourself
0:30 Yep, because math never has new notation invented, bases changed or even number systems changed. Never ever never.
ROBIN NEEDS A WHOLESOME SUBREDDIT AHHHHH
14:13 someone applaud the op for being so patient 😭😭 like "dad youre doing it again" HHH i could never.. Also give robin a wholesome subreddit, his sanity is declining faster than my mental health 😭-
Took me 19 seconds to need to pause. *19 seconds.* As someone that knows people that were (unfortunately) homeschooled, I can only hope they weren't programmed to infuse religion into everything. They seem mostly sane...
But then around a few key subjects, I know they're mentally opening the bible to repeat what they've been told is correct by a book thousands of years old and subject to the control of corrupt humans.
By my standards, believing in an obviously fake, grand myth means you're insane.
There are no sane religious people. 😂
@@Alexa-Raine I was always thinking why is religion like a not insane thing to believe in? Your called crazy,lunatic,insane,unhinged or mentally ill if you believe in other worlds,monsters,ghost,spirits and etc but you can't do that to religious people when it is essentially the same thing because faith? I wonder if theirs a medical study done on religious people especially the kids that grew up in religious schools and strict religious communities if they grew up with insanity for two. Which is a way to spread one delusion to another person by making them generally believe in it and they are willing to take it to the grave.
@@Milk-ck1wv Ya, it's kinda wild.. especially when they say stuff like "Jeebrus speaks to me" or "doG will guide me"
🤨sssooo... You're hearing voices in your head?!?😦

*I have nothing against religious people, do what helps you cope but the only thing I dislike is trying to rope everybody into the same boat as if religion is anything factual or scientific and not just some thing that some people choose to believe in.*
I guess because when a majority or alot of people do/believe in something it becomes "normal" even if it isnt. Normality is defined by what society thinks I suppose. The same way it was typical to accuse people of witchcraft back then and actually be prosecuted over baseless stupid accusations maybe? For some reason the whole God thing just stuck around for longer instead of getting wiped out along the way like other parts of historical behavior.
0:18 This reminds me of a really good quote:
"While the other sciences search for the rules that God has chosen for this Universe, we mathematicians search for the rules that even God has to obey" - J. P. Serre
And if you don't trust him, look up axioms.
i love you em kay you got me through covid

Poor Robin, his angst is too entertaining and I'm guessing that's why he tends to narrate these kinds of vids, but the poor thing needs some soul bleach STAT!
PS: As a mother of still young kids, I can imagine going from knowing everything from the mole on the inside of their little toe, to the size/shape/consistency of their last BM, from every medical snippet of information going through you first, to overnight refused access, must be a hard transition....but as a former child of an "insane" mother I hope that when that time comes for me I'll accept it with the damn respect my kids deserve!
You're weird, although my mum would smell my scent on my bed when I leave after visiting her for a few days she also does that with my sister too
Because of these parents I always think my parents came STRAIGHT from Mother Nature-
Btw robin 34M means 34 yr old male and 70f means 70 yr old female...
14:47 my boyfriends parents still make him call them mommy and daddy. the man is 20 with a full time factory job, dont they realize how... strange it is to try and enforce that on their kids? (his brother is 23 and has to do it too). i can't wrap my head around it. let them grow up and stop trying to live in a fantasyland
15:04 "Where is the word mommy? Am i a stranger." _(deep demonic voice)_ madre
Am I the only one who remembers why Robin said they don’t end up doing the wholesome/happy subreddits?
10:56 I feel like they might not be an a**hole because they can't be wasting all these things when they are not paying for it. I can also see why they are being an a**hole, but I think I am on the side of them not being one
When children/teens off their parents and its a tragedy and oh so horrible, a voice in my head always asks for context. I am not saying the parent(s) had to have been abusive, of course not, but my mind is always uneasy. I mean, some of these people must have been a horror to have as parents.
Seeing this sub hurts a lot not because I have awful parents (becausd I don't) but because my parter does and they think they would be an ungreatful child if they even talked about it. Their mom keeps sugesting they're ugle and one day they forgot about them and blamed THEM. Like, my partner didn't do anything, they just sat there crying thinking their family doesn't care and then they pick them up and start scolding them because they don't want to accept the blame
12:55 Thats my me lol, didnt expect to show up in an emkay vid any time soon but thank robin! if anyone would like any extra context id be happy to explain =)
*give me the context*
@@ItzBIULDhe texted me randomly at 3am telling me I was his baby and insulting my friends and we argued for hours
Parents like this give water to the “parenting license” argument.
10:40 this is the tamest AITA post I've ever come across, and frankly, not the asshole really
The kid doesn't NEED to get a job, but CAN if he wants money or his own money. Plus you can't really claim people aren't trying hard enough when getting a job is fucked in itself, especially the US. The mom was just looking for an excuse for the kid to get a job so she "lost it", but no, not the asshole really.
5:27 triggered my anxiety because I could see my narcissist mother doing this to my dad.
10:49 context is needed here.
- Is this a common occurrence or a one time thing?
If it’s a common occurrence, then yes this is a little insane. But however, if this is a one time occurrence this is not insane behavior.
Sometimes, people use find my to check if someone is at work or not without asking them via text as to not interrupt them. This could’ve been something like that and the mother saw the phone was next to a trash bin not realizing it was a smoke break, so she simply asked if OP had their phone with them or if they lost it.
Funny fact: You try homeschooling your kids like that in Austria and you can bet those kids will be in school again soon. Do kids in America not get tested on what they learned at home?
Homeschooling is common. I've seen far-right comments about pulling their kids out of school and teaching them their beliefs and propaganda
@@skootergirl22 sry I guess I wasn't clear on what I meant. Children here get tested to check their progress if they are homeschooled. If the child can't pass the test, they will be forced to attend a school again the following year.
My mom, who was terrible, told me once that since she wasn’t the one seeing a psychiatrist I must be wrong. She’d often say that I’m crazy, so she should make decisions for me. Anyway, I blocked her and she’s dead now. Life is much nicer without her.
Ding dong the witch is dead
As a math homeschooled christian, i am very confused by the homeschooled god math thing.
As a normal person with a functioning brain, i am also very confused by the homeschooled god math thing.

The son was 34 and a male, the mom was 70 and a female.
I love when they do this sub because it makes me feel better about my own parents
The surgical tech probably meant his kids were grown. Making them adults, not kids.
I am thankful that my parents are loving and intelligent. Even if I’m 15(going-on 16 as of typing), I still take time to thank them and express my love for them every day. They are kind, generous, understanding, and compromising. For me to ask for anything better than them would be foolish.
Even if this video shows that some parents’ actions are not worthy of raising children, please take time to appreciate the ones who are. Though, this video is fully justified to call the wrong ones out, don’t get me wrong.
May karma forgive the people here who had to deal with these in the end. (And since this is a Reddit video, I must specify; I mean “Karma” by both definitions).
Always a good day when EmKay uploads
11:58 last time i checked, the standard practice for job hunting is that the recruiter will call you IF THEY WANT TO HIRE YOU. otherwise, they were, are, and prolly will always be, masters of ghosting potential employees. it pjsses me off to no end X(
Idk why but I relate to some of these (IM 11 BTW) and here’s a silly funny short story I have: I was on vacation with my full family + my aunt and uncle and my dad thought it would be funny to POUR WATER ON MY HEAD (everyone laughed at me and I cried)
I’m sorry that happened :(
I had a moment where my dad wanted me to buy a pack of Kool aid where I used to work, I told him "no, let's just wait until my mom comes home cause it's cheaper where she works". He told me again to buy it but this time brought my sister into this. I told him to just wait another hour until she gets home. Then he pulls out "Fine, I only wanted you to be a good sister."
As someone who always 'lucked out' to have their class on the morning shift (apart from 1 year where we switched every 2 weeks to make feel the unfairness 😢 that someone had the luxury all the time) and never been a morning person coffee is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY. While never having the audacity to just blatantly sleep in class would only kind of emerge from the haze by the third period without it (or later if sleep schedule was somewhat disturbed), to be capable of emerging from the autopilot mode and paying at least some attention.
