An hour long video of just robin how did we get this lucky

I once said "yeah I'm kinda tired" to a mom in my neighborhood. She asked how many kids I have, I said 1. She responded "pfft you don't know anything about tired." Why do ppl do that? Why do ppl treat being a parent like some competition? Nevermind that I am also a doctor and work 50 hr weeks at least. Nevermind that my kid was a toddler at the time. No, I only have 1 kid so it doesn't count. Wtf?

It is, in fact, illegal to open another person's package no matter if you're their parent.

if somebody tells you “do as i say not as i do” start a proverb boxing match by saying “imitation is the finest form of flattery”

I'm glad my dad is protective in a not weird way. He genuinely cares for my safety and is beginning to teach me self defense, along with giving me a pocket knife.

"Why are people so creepy now?" They've always been creepy, the only difference is now they have a platform whereas it use to be said between friends and family.

53:04 will always be one of my favorite Robin moments "WHO IS CHACHI??? IS IT A DOG???" has me dying every time 💀💀

Mom is going to call the cups? 😂 My response: " Cool, are the saucers going to be there too?"

some people say blood is thicker than water in response to cutting off family but what not many people know is that the original saying is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”

Fun fact, according to the law itself, any items gifted or bought by a kid is considered their property (clothes, computers, etc.). Anything purchased by parents in general (for example like a house or appliances) are the adults property. This makes some of these posts straight up documentations of criminal offenses

That lactose-intolerance post got me - my mother fed me some food last time I was at her house that I recently discovered I was allergic to. She did it because she "doesn't think my doctor knows what's best" and that I was "playing it up" while I was vomiting uncontrollably in the bathroom.

My mother is painfully similar to this, and the more I watched this video, the more I realized how much I normalized her behavior. She constantly has screaming fits and talk’s constantly of how much she wants to get a new husband. She says she means it as a joke, but I always feel like she isn’t. She has once gotten mad at me and said I acted just like my dad, this is when I was around nine or ten. I told her that it felt like a negative thing to call me, she denied it and told me that I thought of it the wrong way. She recently got very mad after I denied food while we we on the way to a party. She turned around the car and threw us (me and my other siblings) inside the house where she continued to scream at me. She chased me upstairs as my siblings retreated to the car. My dad was concerned because he was at the party already and constantly called my mom, but was promptly ignored in her pursuit of trashing my room and throwing my art supplies all around the bathroom while crying and sobbing manically. I was genuinely scared she was gonna hurt me so I began to curl up on myself and plead with her not to hurt me. She calmed down eventually and acted so different, she was now speaking softly with me and asking if I was okay because she hit me down to the ground. We went back to the car after and she proceeded to joke about how I was telling her to not hurt me and how she threw my stuff everywhere, even laughing a bit. She seemed to think I deserved it. I don’t know, I just needed somewhere anonymous to post. It feels so good to let all my thoughts out, I just don’t know if I’m reading into this too much or not..

I know this was posted 4 months ago, but thank you Emkay for this one. I don’t honestly know how Gen Z (I’m almost 20) got so fucked up by Gen X. From talking to all of my friends, my girlfriend, even penpals around the world, it seems like something is unanimously horrible about them as parents at least. This video helped me really realize that this shit happens to almost everybody, and it’s a disease. To everyone else out there who had or is going through this right now, you’re in my thoughts.

This subreddit slowly made me realise that all these things that I thought were annoying but normal were in fact my parents being horrible people and gave me the courage to get out of the situation. Other than that Emkay is always a win

Robin getting righteously angry at insane parents actually makes me feel better about my own parents being awful to me. My mother has done so much damage to me growing up I can't even get angry at being mistreated anymore

“Abuse Abuse Abuse, Abuse Abuse Abuse, that’s all it (let me do it for you) it’s (let me do it for you) abuse.” -best quote from this channel.

4:40 is literally the “No I reject your reality and substitute my own” meme 😂

Quote from my father that still sticks with me some 8 years later: "depression is just the "in" disease, like SARS was." He said this to me when I was 16 and was battling with undiagnosed depression and anxiety. My mom attempted to unalive herself when I was 10, and I found her. I never got help for that. In fact, my father bullied me any time I expressed less-than-happy thoughts and played the victim when I was upset by the way he treated me.

36:45 you know they have a great relationship with their parents when their contact is their real name.

1:30 Parents think children should obey them like they're their slaves or something... No wonder she doesn't wanna listen.

The most horrifying thing in my viewing of this video was when my mom walked in and asked what i was watching. I told her, and she watched one of the stories with me. Then she agreed with the insane parent.

1:11:57 For anyone else confused, the lady in the story is complaining about how her husband is being really affectionate and endearing towards his daughter (aka, just being a dad), and she's upset that he's talking to his daughter like that, instead of her (which is why she kept bringing up cheating). Just thought I'd try to help by translating crazy Step-Monster into English for yalls

I once got yelled at by my dad (he picked me up to go to school and got me breakfast), because one time I got late (7:02 AM, I was in fifth grade, my sister being in third) and refused to get me and my sister food. I didn’t eat breakfast and he knew that because it didn’t get me full, ending up in a stomachache.

Im always imagining the father as some kind of super masculine 50 year old lumberjack, and the mother as a 40 year old karen

As a No Contact child to an abusive/narcissistic parent, this was therapeutic.

The cat story hits a bit too close to home. I went on a month-long vacation with my father and my sister to Europe, but when I got back I found out that my mom had given my dog away to one of her friends and wouldn't tell me which one. Found out about 6 months later that they had put him down a few months prior despite being perfectly healthy with us. I was devastated yet my mom comes to me to say, "it's a good thing that we gave him away when we did, I would've hated to have to pay for the vet." I never even got to say goodbye to my best friend.

THIS NEIL FAMILY IS MY FAMILY! IN FACT IM THE NEIL IN THIS POST AT 8:40 Im not mad thst this was posted. Im actually very happy that this was posted on this channel But why do some people just hate indian people? (Genuine question)

My Dad is a workaholic I’m always tired and running on 1% energy, I work on school work all morning, and then go to work and get off at 1am, But every time I have a Day off my Dad thinks of some Work for me and my siblings to do, either saying “The house is a mess let’s do a house reset, or mowing the yard 3 times a week, or “Time for a work Day” he says it every time I’m off and home, or he’s off work and home. I’m so fricking done with this bs, counting down the months until I can move out 😭🤚

It's fascinating how many creative ways these parents find to make sure their children never visit them later in life.

Parents need to understand that shit like this is how they end up in the nursing home with children who never want to see them.

1:04:08 this mom actually isn't as crazy as the others. Bedbugs are f@cking hellspawn and can be an incredibly traumatic experience. If you've never had them, pray to every deity you do and don't believe in that you never will.

2:10 LETS GOOO MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE!

The mom who tried to sell her son's Oculus after he paid for it with his own money made me the most mad. I hope everyone told her that she was a terrible mother, and if anyone bought it gave it back to the son WITH the money just to spite her

the 'pouring bleach into the vents' thing reminds me how a member of my family who I live with regularly pours bleach into the toilet to try and clean a stain which is there because they refuse to acknowledge that the cistern leaks (I tested it; it took less than six minutes for water to go from the top of the cistern to the bowl), and even if the toilet 100% DIDN'T have any urine residue left on it, you still shouldn't pour it in the toilet at the same time as toilet cleaner because THAT makes chlorine gas, and if the toilet isn't fully rinsed before the next use the urine will react and make chloramine gas. we know this person does it, because we have seen them in action and we've had reactions immediately after they clean the toilet, but they will not admit it and will yell and scream at you and call you a liar if you try and tell them to not do that. I hate it here

3:25 End of conversation … *YOU CAN’T EVEN HAVE A CONVERSATION*

0:35 As a representative of the cristans i can say most of us are not like this 😭

My parents were so abusive toward me, emotionally, psychologically, and on occasion physically. My half sisters are 20 years younger than me (I love them to the moon and back), and they get all of the support they could ever ask for, they get just about anything they ask for, my parents put the girls' needs before their own, and my step-dad actually spends time with them doing what they want, instead of them having to seek him out and do whatever he's doing so they can spend time with him. I'm jealous of the love they're getting, but at the same time, I'm glad they're receiving the love I didn't.

The saddest thing is that I recognize my parents behavior as insane only after seeing it from the side Thanks to this channel my eyes are seeing clearly now😅

Watching these videos makes me lucky that my parents are actually caring and are willing to help me get through the phase of turning into an adult instead of acting like they're better than me. Damnit, I love my mom and dad.

5:44 looks really comfortable lol

A bunch of these horrible "parents" need to be either arrested outright for actual crimes (e.g., stealing or breaking their possessions) or remanded to authorities for mental health evaluations. There's a LOT of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, etc. in most of these.

Honestly this subreddit reminds me that no matter how many times my family and I get into squabbles, it could always get so much worse. I hope all these people can escape from their awful families and live a good life :)

Mom: "I'm about to send them..." Kid: "LETS PLAY 8 BALL" *8 ball attachment*

Im so grateful and happy to have a loving, supportive family that respects my privacy and i forget that not all familys are like that and i hope their situations get better.

Robin is so real for every time he took the time to rant about the reality of these parents behavior, I'm actually a DV(domestic violence) survivor because my father was verbally, mentally, and emotionally abusive, a lot of these parents here are no different from him and its just plain sad how some parents think that they're the victim, when they're making their kids think they aren't good enough, and never will, so said kids spend the rest of their days trying to please people and/or the parents just so they have the acceptance and approval their parents refused to give them. A lot of people need to act better

Robin being quiet and serious is infinitely scarier than any horror novel around

Im watching this before going to the gym so i can work out all my anger and get a better workout

29:03 that's malware at this point

that vr one killed me. there was even like a 3 act structure to it, it completely blindsided and enraged me

I feel so sick about the 4 yr old and her little brother. I bet she was just "playing mommy" After all, she wouldn't know parents aren't supposed to hurt their children - it's what she's used to.

Y'know, this sub makes me appreciate my parents more.

1:03:11 OH NOOOO did you get the reference The reference is the gay guy from family guy i can't remember his name

I want Robin to narrate more cute subs. Give the man a break, he's already dealing with enough ❤

They really had to torture robin by making him look at insane parents for an hour Edit: These replies are stinky

Please give robin a nice happy subreddit he deserves it

My parents were so weird about this kind of thing. Like, on one hand they did the whole Life360 thing. And they would constantly ask me why I was in "battery saving mode" because they wanted to track my location. But on the other hand, my step Mom caught me sneaking out of the house once, and literally just, "alright, have fun. Be back by ten, you have school tomorrow." They would always just flip flop between "cool parent" and "insane parent" and there was no in-between. I've since moved out and they're just kinda, chill now.

My male parent (doesn't deserve the title of father) treated me the way he was risen, as a rowdy boy with two brothers in the 50s, me, an extremely shy and introvert insecure sensitive AF only child girl in the 90s... basically just verbal and emotional abuse constantly. Been no contact for 17 years, so that's great for me!

This has been said in probably every r/insaneparents video, but for good reason: Every kid deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a kid.

Turns out destruction of property includes breaking property of others. Even if it can be repaired, it is a crime and you can sue.

My parents grounded me, spanked me, and kicked me out of the house one time because I had a tough day at school. They also made me think this shit was normal

funny how the parents calling the police can backfire so hard bc the child can just say theyre being abused by their parents and the whole ass situation flips around

That mom telling her son to ‘be a man’ pissed me off. I grew up in appilachia and if those old coal miners had ANY other options in life they would have taken them. They didn’t WANT to sacrifice themselves for a living but they were willing to for their family. It’s not something to teach kids to aspire for. Only higher income families that have never had to feel hunger or working until they fall over ever think like this.

9:54 bro the parent here just doesn't want their kid to have any privacy at all💀

8:20 why tf did the article bring me into it? check the corner with "dear..."

1:13 This mom went through every stage of grief and depression and ended up with her gaslighting herself 😂

The story at 18:25, is similar to what happened to me at the age of ten. I forgot to do a chore from a long list of chores, my “mother” kicked in my bedroom door, grabbed me by the hair and dragged me down the stairs where she proceeded to yell and threaten me, and then she kicked me out of the house. Hours later, I had no choice but to go back in as I had nowhere to go, she wasn’t there but my stepfather and grandmother were, and they were under the impression I had run away of my own accord. She literally lied to people in order to avoid getting into trouble, and they, despite knowing how awful she is, just went along with the lie.

My speech and debate teacher calls us that. "turkeys" that is. SO THAT'S WHY I FOUND IT FUNNY.

The more I listen to these, the more I realize everything my parents did and do, and I start sobbing. There’s no way out.

One thing that really confuses me is the entitlement of some of these parents thinking it's okay to open someone else's letter/package regardless of if that person is their child or not. The only times my mum opens anything with my name on it are times when she has explicit permission to do so.

1:13:53 Bro, the clown emoji after mom got me laughing 😂

the one of a parent trying to sell the kids vr headset that he bought with his own money, unironically made me punch a hole in my wall

11:23 reminds of a time when I checked out a scary stories book with a spider on it. To respect my mother, who had arachnidphobia, I made a book cover out of a paper back, like our teacher taught us. She eventually found the book and took off the cover, as it was fraying and screamed and yelled about its contents. Long story short, I had a Matilda moment as she ripped the book apart and yelled at me for bringing a "demon book" home

As a father of 2 little dudes, this subreddit is teaching me what not to do

Bro I read about the broken glass and instantly teared up. My mom's first reaction would be "Baby you ok? Don't touch the shards with bare hands! Wait for me I'll get the sweeper"

all in favour of making Robin that one Family Therapist🙋‍♂️

This kind of thing makes it clear that there need to be much stricter laws on how parents are allowed to treat their children.

Robin: why is it always moms? Me: because dads are normally physically or emotionally absent

34:06 Funny how it is being sold for 200$ more than it has ever sold for and she says 'No lowballing'

"Nerds to stop" 😂😂😂 does playing victim hurt you that much? 😂😂😂😂

I seen something about how kids in school now days have the same level of anxiety as mental patients from the 1950s. I can believe it when I was in school it was some of the most stress I've ever experienced. I would make myself sick stressing over homework I struggled with and had no one in my family who knew how to do the work to help me and I struggled in class and the teachers would barely try to help as well even getting mad at me, I would get picked on for the stupidest things like not having a certain brand of clothes or shoes and anything they possibly use to try to make me feel like crap, alot of the teachers where downright cruel I even had a teacher pull me out of class and "do a random weapons search" they forced me to lift my shirt while 4-5 teachers snickered and laughed at me because of my weight, I even had a guidance counselor lie and tell me my grades where too low to pass the year unless I got straight As for the rest of the year (even did math for me) then after I quit trying because I knew I wasn't able to pull straight As off he calls me down to his office and tells me he was trying to motivate me but it was too late now my grades really where to low to pass.

These videos make me appreciate my parents SO much more

The censored profanity to the tune of "The Black Parade" is hillarious

JUST ROBIN?! Dang we got Christmas early

The bad part above all of these stories is until you move out, you cannot run but the parents can give up on you and put you up for adoption but you can’t run

"There are serious regulations for those under 18 working in the US" Also the US: bringing back child labour and reducing punishments if something happens to the kids.

Rainbow mafia is hilarious im going to use that

I always listen to Robin’s rants, the timer’s just a bonus

Idk what Robin’s on about The “i’m gonna count to three” threat is the scariest shit ever Robin must not know of the secret technique that all dads know that follows immediately after the 3rd count

6:17 I see this and immediate red flags before I even see the shit about punishing the girl for hitting the baby. Yes, the 4 y.o should not have done that, but leaving a toddler and an infant ALONE? Y'all know that this is Madeline MacCann's parents did when that poor girl went missing, right???

I used to have three levels of bad annoyed, starting to raise my voice and talking in a southern accent, and then the Italian hand gestures. I now have four wanting to commit things that I shall not say because of KZfaq regulations. My mom is the exact same way.

Tips for being a good parent: Don't be so controlling, Respect Privacy, Recognize they ARENT your property, actually LOVE them, and don't ground them for stupid reasons.

The fact that Robin is so mad that he doesn't know who chachi is makes me laugh.

1:17:57 “go towards it” so menacing I love it

4:32 "I reject the idea" bro will NOT change the truth 💀

24:58 wait she really thinks consent is a trend? oh god

I have to thank EmKay, thanks to them I realized just how toxic my parents were, helped me understand why I was so anxious and generally unhappy at my father’s house. I still technically live at home but my week that I’m technically at my dad’s I sleep at my gf’s house every night. They still make comments occasionally about me being obsessed with my gf and how I need to balance family and other relationships but at least I’m only there during supper. And my gf’s parents have been extremely welcoming and understanding of my home situation and said (and genuinely mean it) that I am always welcome, even when my gf’s not there Edit: added a word

Then these parents wonder why their kids don’t visit them at their retirement home and get sent mean messages about how horrible they were treated

I keep forgetting the name, but the guy is like that one stoner friend who’s super chill and nice to you. I like him.

0:55 THANK GOD that one of my Parents (my Dad) is literally a Bachelor in Arts and he's absolutely adorable if I ever show him my works I am a hobbyist artist and Everytime I show my artwork (I do extremely basic sketching if I don't do my work in Multimedia) he's getting all giddy and always insanely supportive of me to the point that "Dude, you should trace that digitally, animate that and post it on the internet!" is a common take that came out from both my mom and dad and I had to always constantly remind them that even in my current work, I'll need a LOT of time to actually make that work lmao. I'd gladly take a bullet for them to always be with me. And thank God that I don't have to deal with non supportive and absolutely bonkers parents who have zero empathy to their Children's works

As a former woman (trans male) I can save for one hundred percent certainty even outside of the religious community (can't imagine what that's like) my dad would always make wierd fucking remarks whenever I would go romp around in the woods my next door neighbor friend!...we were nine! And he'd frequently ask "he get ya pregnant yet." And I can say with 100% certainty that that has affected my ability to have sexual relationships with people because the males in my family always talk about sex to me and it makes me really uncomfy, they won't stop, so now I when I try to initiate any fun time of my own with someone else, I get the ick. I get that it comes from a place of love and protection, but at a certain point, YIURE sexualizing the situation more than the child and just makeing them uncomfortable around people of the opposite gender becuase whenever we go for a innocent walk we basically get told that we HAVE to make out. Mind our own damn buisness
