0:20 from Reddit: “From OP: “He actually wanted it for a gene test because he recently found out he had one that isn’t all that great so he wanted to see if I did. The problem was that this e-mail was also connected to my mom, which she has a lot of things connected to her. It was too dangerous to just give him out the e-mail as my dad has a history of falling for scams””

poor robin getting the angry subreddits 😭😭

And this is why I love the "found family" trope in fiction so much

Ah, insane parents... A stark reminder that every child deserves a parent, but not all parents deserve children. If someone out there is reading this and you've got lousy parents, just remember there will come a day you're free from them. Play the long game and in the end *you will win.* Hang in there!

I have so much appreciation for Robin switching to he/him when he realized the person was talking about her FTM son, not her daughter. A lot of people don't do that and it was nice to hear.

Please let Robin do a wholesome subreddit.

9:33 i love how robin respected their pronouns zero thought was even input.

9:46 I love how Robin immediately switched the pronouns for the person’s son, it’s so respectful

A thing I thought of the other day was if "love for a mother is unconditional" then isn't the love of a mother to a son/daughter also unconditional?

I'm with you on that whole "not living to old age" thing; that's a lie, we WILL get to live until old age. The thing that will *actually* happen is that we will live to old age, have to keep working, not be able to retire, and not get social security.

I appreciate how Robin respects a persons choice even if the parent does not. Cheers.

why does robin get all the bad subs

4:23 dude told his mom "touch grass" 😂

How did these parents even get together, stay for long enough to marry each other, have children and still be able to stay together?!

Coming from somebody who's dealt with insane parents my entire childhood (shouldn't call it that cause it didn't exist), I sympathize with every one of these kids/adults dealing with their parents. I know adults can cut that out of their lives but the kids are unable to till a later age.. Can't wait for them to grow older and finally leave the toxic hellhole that is their family 🥺

0:40 my mom does this all the time, she'll ask me to come over or do something and i'll ask "why" and she'll always respond "because i asked you to" she says she hates when i ask why and i've asked her why she can't just tell me what she wants from me and she never gives me an answer, i can only assume it's something along the lines of "you should just do it and not ask questions" but she knows i'm autistic and hate not knowing exactly what's going on, and even if it wasn't the case i feel like it's reasonable to want a preview of what you're being asked to do

I grew up in a very Cristian home and whenever i asked my parents something like my anger issues and how to cope they would always respond "PRAY" and to this day i still felt like they never knew what they were doing or that they didn't want to help me. also they were the white equivalent to the Asian parent stereotype, being disappointed in me if i got a B in a class even if it was my worst class. and i would say "at least i passed" and they respond with "backtalk" I also want to join the USMC and they say that the Marines wont take me if i "nearly" failed a class back in freshman year. so i tell them that the Marines dont really care and my mom lost it saying that apparently i know more even though i looked up more info on the Marines than she ever will in her life. I do love this SubReddit though

Feels weird that with how crazy this sub gets, that the overprotective mother worried about traffic is almost cute in comparison

9:50 I LOVE HOW ROBIN REPLACES “SHE” WITH HIM I’m sorry but I’ve seen some people just read the post without correcting anything. This is why Emkay is one of my, if not best, Favorites.

My grandmother actually bordered a lot on insane parent territory while my mom was growing up, i think the worst thing she did was throwing my aunt's and uncle's stuff (separate rooms, separate occasions) out the windows of their rooms because they were a mess Like, even the goddamn beds, the entire rooms went out the 2nd floor window and they had to pick it all up and haul it back to their bedrooms on their own She's really nice and is the family member i respect and trust the most, but her way of discipline was KIND of extreme

9:50 as a trans man, I want to thank Robin for correcting that mother missgendering her son when reading the post. Really put a smile on my face.

This subreddit always makes me wonder about my parents. I can’t tell if I truly have insane parents or if my relationship with them is toxic.

3:52 one thing people need to learn about dealing with parents like that in text messages is to stop going back and forth and getting dragged into arguments. instead of typing out a response just give one word answers like "ok" and then when they try to lead you into an argument just stop responding

12:13 I've had my parents SAY they'd go in with trash bags and get rid of it all if I didn't clean my room, but they never actually DID it, even if I didn't clean my room.

10:00 can we all please appreciate the fact he said “he’s” instead of the “she’s” that the psycho mom typed

Sometimes, I think my parents are insane. But then I see these people and go “I am glad I am not alone”

Whenever you see Robin on an insaneparents or antiwork video you already know it’ll be a banger

The people in this sub deserve at least one very good hug. I hope most of them break free from the shackles of insane parents in due time without too much permanent trauma. Sheesh..

Love that robin immediately corrected pronouns on that fasting post. Love robin and his support ❤

I'm glad my mom isn't this bad, but I feel bad for those whose parents are

God the first one is soooo damn relatable

I really appreciate how at 9:45 ish he changed the “she/her” pronouns to “he/him” to align with the son’s new pronouns. Very respectful of him. Thanks Robbin :) (Btw you’ve always been my favorite, just sayin’)

Robin needs to get more wholesome subs...cute animals or something..

When I lived with my mom if my room wasn't clean she took every single thing in my room besides my mattress. My bed frame, BLANKETS, CLOTHES EVERYTHING

Robin, it makes me so happy that when you read a transphobic post you just correct the gender without really making a big deal out of it, makes me feel very affirmed ❤

the fact "sans." is playing in the background makes my day, thanks Robin

Remember, if your parents aren't like any of the people in this video show them some love.

4:40 So, I know nobody asked for my input, but this little rant made me feel safer. I'm constantly scared of nuclear war, the end of the world, blah blah blah, you get the drill. But there's something about the way Robin said it... it made me feel calm.

I love how robin changes the pro noun of the transman after given context, it's beautiful 9:37

re: the trash bag one, my mom would do this but just throw everything away. no thrift store donation or anything, just straight in the garbage. I'm 31 now and having to unlearn hoarding tendencies because I'm just scared to throw things out, and my room STILL doesn't get cleaned often (executive dysfunction). so in case you're thinking about doing this, DON'T. it DOES NOT WORK the way you want it to.

5:00 the end of the world thing hits home so hard. since i was in middle school my mom was shoving that shit down my throat. absolutely terrifying

Gotta say, I love when he reads the story about the mom wanting to fast over their transkid and as SOON as he says "transitioning to male" he stops reading "She/her" and uses male pronouns. ^ ^

Love Robin for the fact that for the post with the parent upset that their son is on testosterone and corrected the parents pronoun use without a second thought. How thoughtful

9:56 I love how he says "him" despite it saying "her". Good man you are

More evidence that respect is earned, not deserved

Mom: lose my number The child (probably): bet.

This sub reminds me a lot of my own mother. Over the years, I've realized people can change given a sufficient amount of time, but my mom taught me there are people you shouldn't waste your energy on. She destroyed my life from a young age and still acts like I owe her my life simply because she's my mom. When she dies, I won't be able to live anymore because of her. But at least I'll be free.

Wonder what robins parents are like, I've never heard him talk about them, in all of the 1000 videos he has voiced.

Note to the first post: Dad was asking for the email for a gene test

2:32 remember child psychologists say spanking is child abuse

Guys, I know there are a ton of us with parents like this or with parents where this is just the tip of the iceberg. I just want to say, I feel you. And after nearly 21 years of living with them, I was finally able to move 500 miles away and live my life! It's been amazing and freeing! And it has made me realize the depths of what I went through with them. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Just hold on y'all, you don't have to be stuck with these people forever.

Lancer’s song from deltarune in the background for a sub about insane parents really made me laugh. (Yes maybe King is a bit less evil in second chapter, but come on the threat being so serious and tense in chapter 1 definatly fits with insane parents)

3:35 Some people really are that anxious/paranoid that their child is a walking target for cars.

Back into the reason why you should appreciate your parent(s)

The one with the bugs bunny and sylvester is a quick and surefire way to guarantee that your child, DIL/SIL, and grandchild will have nothing to do with you.

13:02 i feel like this parent really isnt that bad she is genuinely concerned for her kid

this sub makes me feel so proud of my parents

Patiently waiting for Robin to get a good subreddit

11:51 you mean this is crazy?? I get threatened with that almost ever day…

Seeing these vids just reminds me to be grateful that I have awesome parents 😭

7:04 Kinda just funny, I don’t know why it is in insane parents.

10:06 im crying because they said "he" instead of "she"

Bro the switch to she/he was so fast, true supporter 9:52

i know it is out of the topic of the video but, damn how i was happy to know there some people that also play Muffin Time and that i'm not a oddball within the rest 6:49

emkay has uploaded humanity is saved

I love y'all videos so much I watch them before going to bed

My response to the end of the world fearmongering: “twelve time survivor, either way. I either make it to thirteen, or it’s not my problem…wtf your point?”

9:29 HE GENDERED HIM CORRECTLY ☹️💗💗💗 WHAT A CHAMP MAN

Watching this right after moral orel sure is something

my dad called me fat. im not actually even that fat, my belly just sticks out a tiny bit

This makes me appreciate my parents even more

6:52 oh, my Jesus Christ

Robin is so nice to the persons son at 10:00 for it using preferred pronouns

I swear, there should be a license we’re having kids. I know that will come with a whole host of issues, but quite frankly, it would be better than having insane people having children.

11:55 My mom did that a lot when me and my siblings were younger (she just wouldn't sell them she would throw the stuff away or donate it, I can't exactly remember.) She would give me and my sibling a time limit to clean our room (we shared a room at the time- and this was only when we took too long to clean) and then come in with a trash bag and make us just sit there while she threw all of our stuff away, and then take the bag away and we never saw it again.

9:55 thanks for correcting the mother on the pronouns Robin. Im sure this would infuriate the mother and make the child happy.

2:01 I dunno, Lucifer's been real chill as of late

11:30 I think the word is 'ubiquitous', or maybe 'omnipresent'

I love when Robin gets the angy subreddits lol. Love you, Robin!!

*vine boom sound effect*

9:51 Probably not something that seems like a big deal, but thank you for correcting the post to his correct pronouns ^-^

I saw the title and knew what I was getting into

This makes me thankful that I have good parents!

Holy hell! 7:07 is my post. I watch this channel, but never thought I'd end up on it. I'm hanging out with the friend in question today (an amazing trans fella), and I'm definitely showing him this. Much love :-)

13:10 Yeah, bother them until they can't take it anymore and finally answer the question. The mom is violating the custody agreement, and she needs to be in jail

I love that robin called her son with he/him pronouns at 9:31

"Satan has no foothold here, he is a child of GOD!" uh... isn't satan also a.. ahhh nevermind

these parents... I wouldn't even give them a cardboard box

Great subreddit

6:21 assuming this is the usa, there are 26 states where it is illegal to track people without their consent

4:24 I effectively did that to my grandma, she's a religious nut who had me being one for a decent chunk of my childhood. I'm still fucking livid over that.

Robin is reading r/insaneparents? Time to get the popcorn

6:55 Dad makes harmless joke, gets called insane

2:13 God, any answer to this question that is not "I have never spanked my child" is the wrong answer. Beating children under any circumstance, unless it's for like actual self-defense, is horrendous and wrong. Hitting your kid because they misbehaved or something isn't going to stop them from misbehaving, it's going to make them live in fear of you for the rest of their lives.

My mom was acting really angry and psychotic for awhile. Turns out she has severely high blood pressure. Got her medication and she's getting better.

Ooo more Robin

2:33 unnecessary chores like creating messes with the intention of making the child clean it. This is but one miniscule example. Also, there's military torture that can happen, like with my sorry ass. Thanks mom for giving me mental issues!

i love how at 9:53 robin didnt say "her" but instead said "him" because the person misgendered their son in the text

Technically been with emkay since 100k subcribers, not a huge accomplishment since it too them awhile to get there. But i genuinly appreciate all the work all of the voice actors (especially damian. Not because he's better than any others I just vibe with his voice tone more than the others. Love the others too but damian is my pie yknow?)put in yknow? they're top notch and super under appreciated. Like imagine the effort that goes in before editing. The video length u see is mayeb 6% of what was actally recorded. That's a lot of amazing time they spent for us. For basically free(Yes they allow ads to be put in but youtube actuall charges creators with over 750k to deny ads, it costs them 10% revenue)

I swear if the world ends whilst Robin is ranting about how the world is not gonna end, I'm gonna be so mad
