Imagine making a 12 year old pay for their own portion for a trip to cuba... I wonder what the parents would've said if he had wanted to stay home alone instead of using up all her savings.

"I carried you for nine months!" *And then you put me down for 20 years.*

"I carried you for 9 months!!!!" "And whose fault is that?" "Excuse me?" "Whose fault is that? Who made the conscious decision to get pregnant?" "I never chose to be in your womb, so who did?"

"I carried you for nine months" And I gave you tax benefits

Every kid deserves a parent, but every "parent" doesn't deserve a kid

If my mom told me “I carried you for 9 months”, I’d answer: “Not my fault you decided to get pregnant.”

I think the worst aspect of most "parents" is their obsessive need of comparing your struggles to their own, they think they are helping by "showing you it can be worse" or "at least you don't have it like this" when all it does is undermine the kid's feelings and confidence.

4:50 "Blood is thicker than water" The full saying "The blood of the covenent is thicker than the water of the womb" Just cause they are family does not mean you cant cut them off

From being mentally torture for 10 years of my life. The amount of people telling me i should not be angry with them and be nice is astounding.

People who come at you with “Blood is thicker than water” hit ‘‘em with the whole verse “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” essentially the family you choose has a better bond than the family you were born into

As an adopted person,I am glad I don’t have to deal with the “I carried you for 9 months” card.

Reminds me a bit of my parents, my dad beat me often, often accused me of being a liar, belittled and disregarded my feelings, my mom did the same thing, plus emotionally manipulated me, constantly called me lazy bc I was never interested in anything, she even went so far to call me a psychopath bc I told her I'd feel nothing if her CT scan came back cancer positive, in all reality, I was hoping it did, then I wouldn't have to deal with her anymore, the day I heard my dad was dying from COPD, I started laughing hysterically, then called him up and asked to be in the hospital so I can watch them unplug the life support.

2:10 Hearing him screaming like there absolutely no tomorrow is the best thing i saw today.

As a kid who has had parents that are in no way like this, I feel so bad for these tortured souls. Sure I've been through crap of losing a parent, but the abuse here is unimaginable to me

My egg donator used the "1, 2, 3" threat on me. Hearing other parents use it to this day, at nearly 40 years old, can still be triggering. Because it wasn't an empty threat. If I hadn't complied by the "3," I would regret it, and learned quickly to jump as soon as I heard "1." Sometimes she would keep counting even as I ran to do what she wanted.

My dad and my stepmom had been talking about going to Mexico for months. Everything was planned and my little brother was so excited to go (I had moved out by that point). Then the day before leaving, my father just told my brother, who had packed his things and everything "Yeah you're not coming with us" and dropped my brother off at our mom's while he, his girlfriend and her kids went. I endured 18 years of this kind of bullshit, my brother 19. And this doesn't even make it to the top 30 of the worst things he's done.

I really appreciate how the elder EmKay gods give Robin the subs they specifically know will cause him to burst an artery in his forehead

I can never understand parents like these..at all and I feel bad for those who have to deal with it. I was lucky to have my dad, who respects my privacy, helps me with my hobbies and passions and always knows how to make me smile when I'm down. He even tells stories of him and my mom that passed away to remind me she's still here as long as we remember her

These videos always remind me of how grateful I am to have had a loving and kind family

0:02 Dads version: I carried you for 15 years 🪑🪑🪑

i'm pretty angry at my parents right now (i'm a teenager, so that explains most of it lol) but after watching this i'm glad that i'm lucky enough to have good parents

Watching these is helping undo the years of manipulation and reminding me that my parents were not good parents

Mom: i carried you for 9 months Me: did u give you permission to do that?

In the US, the punishment for wasting police resources (i.e. calling the cops to remove someone from their own home when they have committed no crimes) is up to 6 months in jail and possibly a fine

4:25 and the worst part is, is that when we tell parents WHY we’re failing and how THEY turned off the internet, it’s always “Don’t you dare talk back to me!”

Whenever I'm mad at my parents I watch this and it makes me feel alot better

I think the thing that infuriates me the most in this video is the mom reselling the vr headset her son bought with his own money pretending he should ask for permission to buy something like AAAAAA i'm screaming in frustration

I read these as an older man that started to repair motorcycles at 10 and left my parents home at 14 and they're quite funny to me. The level of entitlement is amazing.

Thats 100% true. Parents always think your making excuses and its killing me from the inside.

And then there are people who say "RESPECT YOUR PARENTS EVEN WHEN THEY SELL YOUR BODY PARTS"

These stories make me really grateful to have had at least one good parent, and, honestly, the second, lazy parent is still better than almost all of these people.

Parents when I was a child: “Your so useless” Parents when I won the lottery: “I’m SoRrY pLeAsE cOmE bAcK” *You know they’re not actually sorry. They’re just going to use you.*

0:25 I love how the person here doesnt even try to fight, he/she just scares the other person XD

This makes me grateful for the mother I have. She’s got her issues, but she’s still a good parent.

This stuff is terrifying, honestly. Specially when you're in an argument with these kinds of people. There even exist counter arguments for stuff like "I carried you for nine months" or "I'm your parent and you'll do as I say". But there's hardly any worth in them, because what these people want is not to argue, but to control you, and they often can do just that.

_"Why did you leave me in the worst nursing home in the state??"_ -These parents

I've actually experienced with my terrible ex the horrors of insane mothers. Saint Patrick's day, he drove HIS car to my parent's house to have dinner with us (he was 25 I was 21). We hear a knock on the door and as it turns out, his psychopath mother followed him in her car to my house, told him to come with her (he did but that's another story), threatened us with legal action and screamed at my mother. Psychotic moms are nothing to mess with and I feel bad for anyone with one.

It's nice to see robin do wholesome subreddits for once

i watch this sub for 2 reasons 1. i like all EmKay narrators 2. because i want to convince myself that my parents arent that bad yeah always turns out my parents are pretty bad considering they have done most things ive seen on all EmKay r/Insaneparents

Parents: restricts child's freedom, watches their every move, and requires child to reply 24/7 Child: hates them and leaves them Parents: WhY dOes mY cHiLd HaTe mE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

One time my mom said the forbidden phrase "I carried you for 9 months". I said "you chose not to have protection". My dad lost his shit laughing.

I loved how Robin pretty much encapsulated my anger with these people in that one moment, beautifully done and you did it with such grace too😂

In every situation like this, there is one good important quote "Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child."

Big hug to everyone who struggles with their family like this, whether you're underage or in a toxic relationship. It does get better as you gain independence, so keep that goal in mind and don't underestimate your mental health, it's important to have a support group.

these parents in this subreddit makes karens look like saints

Gotta love how parents scream at you but then not expect you to yell back

I am so happy that my dad was accidentally like these (he. Had very bad anger management problems) but he realized that it was a problem. After that he made it his goal to make up for what he did, he still shows me that everyone could change. These people are horrible and I just wish that they would find the same realization that he did.

Man, this video made me realise just how nice my parents are.

ok so insane parent storytime: a few months ago i was hospitalised cuz i opened up a bit too much at a therapy appointment lol. after i finally got sent home after a few days in hospital, my mum spent 4 straight hours crying and yelling at me about how useless and weird i am and stuff like that and that she demanded i get added to the location-tracking app that my siblings are already on. she didnt care about *why* i was hospitalised and she didnt even ask if i was ok or anything. she was upset cuz i didnt tell her i had been going to therapy. she cries and yells at me like this pretty often though. my dad drove me to the appointment and since then she has always referred to it as the time my dad "kidnapped" me. and she's serious. she tried getting police involved lmao

I love how my mom tried to “jokingly” slash me with a kitchen knife after I wouldn’t get her cigarettes from her car (i lived with her at the 3rd story apartment on the top) in -19 degree weather and when I said It’s too cold I can get it in the morning. When I confronted it about her she said “you know I wouldn’t stab you stop being so dramatic. I HAD TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY SO FAST OR I WOULD HAVE A GIANT GASH IN MY FACE.

I’ve had amazing parents all my life and hearing all these stories sends chills down my spine. It really makes me want to text my mom and dad and tell them how much I love them

This subreddit makes me thankful for my own parents and also wish for reforms to things like foster care and CPS

I love how parents are almost always self righteous.

16:45 actually, yes, that IS part of why you send them to a school. To learn how to socialize and deal with drama. Any parent who thinks otherwise doesn't know how school works.

11:35 So this is actually a thing set into the Apple settings- Like I am a teenager and this is on my phone because of “poor choices”. It is called screen time and it can limit accessibility to your contacts, apps, and safari tabs. If parents/legal guardians decide to put this on a Apple device they can limit their phone to only be able to call known numbers (the contacts you have in ur phone) and nothing else. So if you are in need of help from either police or something you cannot get a hold of them. As a person who has had a difficult past in suicidal thoughts if I needed to call for help to the suicide hotline, I cannot. I believe this is a good way to limit a child’s access to a phone at a young age. Though I feel the need as a person gets older the need for this slowly goes away. :)

Robins distant screaming is my new favorite thing, laughing my ass off

This sub helps me know how amazing my parents are. They are so kind. My mom has only one problem she talks to much at events so when i wana leave we stay an extra 20 - 60 min. Nothing compared to everyone on this sub.

robin screaming into a pillow is something i did not expect to see on this channel. but this is insane parents. i feel like i should have expected it.

I'm 14 and my mother has been a heavy drinker for as long as I can remember, to the point where she passes out on the couch/floor most nights. I recently got surgery and had my appendix taken out due to swelling. This causes you to eat less than normal, both before and after the surgery because it irritates your stomach. I've always been highly underweight, but I've been doing a lot better recently due to some medicine that a dietician prescribed me, but when my mom asked me to weigh myself a day after the surgery, I told her my weight, which was abt 3 pounds down from what I was before the surgery, and my mom said that I couldn't use screens for anything besides school until I got back to where I was before the surgery. Luckily my dad stepped in and stopped her from doing that because he's somewhat reasonable, but it was scary for the moment that I thought that might actually happen. Was this a reasonable action, and is it normal for parents to be drunk every night?

The stories in this sub helped me realize how horrible some of the shit my mom did was, i wouldn't have been aware of most of it otherwise

Parents like these are the reason I came up with the idea of government approved parental licensing. Extreme? Yes. Its because if there's anything in the world I hate, is abusive parents and toxic households.

My dad legit thinks I'm going to forgive him after he practically threw me across the kitchen and choked my, trying to call it restraining. It was a while ago but I'm traumatized. I'm only 12. Edit: I am now 13. Arguing still occasionally happens between my parents. Edit: 14 years old now! Things are going much better! I have a chill stepdad, a cool stepsis, a decent step bro, and my relationship with my dad is way better than it was. My parents are divorced.

you know you have trauma when you are genuinely scared of the narrator when they are just reading the text on screen 😂😂😂😂

"I carried you for 9 months!" "should've told Dad to pull out-"

Insane parents are more infuriating than Karens mistreating workers. How will you treat your own kids like that?

It always annoys me so much when me and my mother are having an argument about something serious, if she thinks it's not going to go her way or she just gets too annoyed with me, she'll just walk away and sulk in her room. But whenever I try to walk away from an argument, she gets mad at me and doesn't let me leave. One time, I needed to be alone, and I couldn't properly communicate that to her. She was standing in the doorway of my room and wouldn't let me leave, so I had to force my way past her. After that, a bunch more garbage ensued, I ended up trying to hide from her in the basement, and she was going to send me to live with my grandparents two provinces away. She still thinks she was in the right because I didn't explicitly tell her that I needed to be alone, and I was just saying, very clearly distressed, "I don't want to talk to you, can you please just go away?" Wow, quelle suprise that after being raised by her, someone who gets annoyed instead of comforting her children when they're in distress, and was raised by someone who didn't show any emotions other than anger, I wouldn't be able to properly portray my emotions and how I feel. For anyone who read that whole thing, thank you for reading, but also sorry you had to read all of that.

The hoops some parents will jump through just to avoid literally sitting down and talking to their children are astronomical.

11:44 Bro turned into an anime supervillain 💀

I love how they say "i carried you for 9 months" when we didn't even ask to be born

Imagine being told “I carried you for 9 months” every time your mom’s losing an argument only to later learn they brought the wrong baby home.

2:03 "no the fuck you won't talk to me tomorrow" would be such a fantastic response to that

“I carried you for nine months!” “Yeah well I never asked for you to do that” *GTA death screen*

12:24 is too relatable, my parents frequently threaten to contact the police on me and file a missing persons report if i don't answer their calls after a day or two- I'm 22 and moved out a while ago. I actively ignore them since theyre incredibly insane, narcissistic, abusive.

Lemme go on a rant here. So this mainly happens to me. Parents can be stupid. Your child is upset, crying even, having a tantrum and a break down. What do you do? A: Calm them down, comfort them, give them their favorite thing (such as playing a movie on tv, etc) B: Leave them alone until they calm down, then talk to them. C: Spank them. Take away the things that keeps them calm. Lock them in a room, sometimes with the lights off when you know they’re scared of the dark. Know what most parents do (from my experience and some friends) They choose option C. That option isn’t good, it’s no bueno. Wanna know why? It teaches them to bottle up their anger, sadness, etc, tells them to NOT use things to calm them down, and sometimes even starts SH. The fact that my parents have told me that “Just find something else to calm you down.” When they literally lock me in a room, with nothing In it, disappoints me. It even makes it worse when people like me try to tell them “Hey, can you leave me alone for a bit, let me calm down?” And then they don’t let you do that,and then complain “Why didn’t you calm yourself down?” Or when your calming yourself down and then they keep pestering you. Like. Bro. Wtf. And then when you tell the truth like “Hey, whenever you do this it really affects me mentally- it feels like abuse. Sometimes it even makes me SH or worse” they go “No no, that’s discipline. Stop overreacting you cry baby.” Parents, if they somehow get this message and they’ve chosen one of the things in option C, please stop. Try Option A or B instead of taking things away, locking them up, or spanking them. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

19:40 what type of brother is that💀

Mom:losing an argument mom: I carried you for 9 months me: and i did not ask for that

Story from my teenhood, listen if you want to be angry: I was 15, I wanted new clothes since my old clothes were wearing out, I asked them for new clothes, they said: "get a job" I then asked, "Okay, and if I want new clothes then?" They said "Oh, you'll pay for them yourselves"

Honestly yes screaming in pillows is good therapy. Join a screamo band! Also, as a side note, I feel as though letting your parents have a relationship with YOUR children is a privilege. If you've had a bad relationship with your parents, or you have trauma from things that happened in your childhood, for example, it's not hard to understand why you don't want to be in contact with them. And the amount of people that don't understand that is ridiculous, imo.

This subreddit makes my bones hurt even more than r/bonehurtingjuice.

3:01 Her name may be Joy, but she brings anger

0:14 their first mistake was expecting a boy named Jaden to stop playing Yu-Gi-Oh. Excuse me, Yugigo

That quote from Fairly Odd Parents being in the insane parents subreddit is oddly fitting considering Timmy’s parents are incompetent for the most part

"I carried you for nine months!" "Did you also make the decision to get pregnant? Mhm." also 0:54 "Why dont you ever come out of your room?" *When I do* "Hey look it's the cave man!" *When i take an extra thirty seconds in my shower* "What're you doing in there, washing the sticks and berries *extra* good?" *When I dont get the usual B or A because i cant do math worth a shit* "Wow, come on man, at this point you're just not paying attention."

The "Let's play 8 Ball!" Had me dying lmaooo

18:00 Screw all that, literally just call CPS and say that it's been 5 days and your parents are refusing to allow you to bathe.

14:58 I wonder FUCKING why the dog runs when she gets near. (In case if you don't know, dogs usually run away from people who hurt them because they are afraid of them.)

20:48 you may face drug charges for unlawfully possessing prescription medications, theft for stealing the drugs, burglary for braking into her house (if she lives on her own), and tresspassing for being on her property with out consent (if she lives on her own).

11:26 might as well gave the kid a damn walkie talkie and call it a day 😭😭💀💀

I talked to my dad about mental health days because of stress, his response was "school should not be stressful"

The most cursed part about this is that EmKay manages to make all of these crazy stories funny

Everytime I see these vids I realize how lucky I am to have normal, chill parents

Life hack: just say "okay buddy" to literally everything, and if they kick you out slowly inconvenience their life

Mom: "I carried you for nine months" Me :"Yep, and then I lived with you for x years"

"I carried you for nine months" "And I would have supported your abortion, but here we are!"

whats even worse than worse parents is people thinking they have terrible parents because they did something that was purposely bad, and got punished for it.

I’m so glad that I actually had parents that treated me like a human being because I’ve read some shit on R/entitled people and it makes me wanna throttle every single one of those entitled parents

20:39 I don’t know the law, but it has to be illegal, right ? Antidepressants are HEAVY medicine, stopping the medication suddenly can literally k!ll you.

So my mom grew up having to be 5x more responsible to be respected half as much as her older brothers in her mother's eyes. Her brothers are real pieces of work, too. All her life, my mom tried her darnedest to please her mother, but ultimately decided to take a step back after my siblings and I were born. The straw that broke the camel's back? My grandmother started criticizing me (a 2-or-3-year-old) and calling me rude for going to my room when I got overwhelmed by people. The really ironic part was that I got overwhelmed by people because I was so anxious that I would do something they would think was rude. According to my mom, that was when she realized that nothing would ever be good enough for her mother, and she wasn't going to subject her own children to that. We did have a relationship with my grandparents, but visits were definitely not even yearly. We learned that there was value in "loving from afar."

Mom- "If you don't react to me I'm gonna read the naughty verse of the bible!!!" Siblings- "Wanna play 8ball?"

0:03 I have come up with the perfect comeback for this: “I’ve dealt with your crap for [insert how many years you’ve been alive]”
