Did you have overprotective parents growing up?

Did you have overprotective parents growing up?

Got any stories of the bullshit they tried to pull?

Hello summer

Sup Forums is a random board, just because not every thread is what you want it to be doesn't mean it's not allowed, rather this than copypasta

hes saying based on what you posted, you seem like a little kid. which I completely agree with

...

Limited my time outside because they were afraid of sunburn. Also never took pictures with flash. That's about it

>based on what you posted

Except that guy didn't post it, he has a different ip address

...

My father repeatedly tried to keep me away from the internet and TV, no attempt succeeded.

well then he thinks OP is a kid, which I still agree with

Why have parents yet to realize being extremely sheltering worry machines does nothing but damage your kid mentally?

...

I grew up in the 90's early 00's, my parents didn't give two shits what I was doing. My dad was too interested in Heroin, and my mom was pretty reasonable for a parent, but my cousins Jesus Christ. My Aunt and Uncle took their first son out of school because he was yelled at for talking in class and never looked back. They homeschooled both him, and his little brother whom was only born due to him wanting a sibling/someone to talk to. Ya see I was never allowed to go to parks, events, really any social gatherings. They also waited until he was ten to have a second child, so they're 10 years apart, it sure is a good thing that they never allowed the older one to grow up and mature like a normal kid. He's 21 now and still acts like a 14 year old. He's afraid of girls, and isn't allowed to play games with overt violence and nudity. They don't know how to teach their children, so the kids (and I'll continue to call the older one that until he grows a pair of balls and rebels) know nothing about the real world. They both think walking down the street in the suburban neighborhood will result in their kidnap/murder. They have meltdowns if they see girls in bathing suits. The older one can't hold a job because he can't take getting yelled at if he fucks up at work. I could go on but this shit pisses me off.

My mom didn't let me hang out with one of my friends because of a stupid thing that happened

>be me, around 14
>come in from school
>few mins go by
>get an unexpected knock on the door
>it's my m8
>he sits down
>mom asks what he's doing here
>says he was followed home by a couple of kids who looked like trouble (inb4 fresh prince of bel air meme)
>bear in mind, he lives basically no where near me
>plus he's above average height and pretty strong, so he could just falcon punch them and they'd probably die
>later on he asks if I can go round his house later in the week
>mom say's she'll think about it
>he says he would have asked me over the phone, but he had no credit
>inexplicably tries to phone his dad
>his dad picks up
>asks if he can pick him up
>moans and basically reiterates what I said earlier about how he's basically Andre the Giant and could kill them if he wanted to
>silently mindfuck about how he was able to phone his dad without credit
>realise he probably lied
>my mom disallowed me to go to his house because he lied

lol I meant to say they not I. I just got carried away in the post.

one overprotective, one alcoholic

i don't remember much, just that whenever i'd be out i'd get really paranoid that (parental unit) was behind every door creak, car door slam..

tbf i was a shitty kid, still am

My parents are overprotective, but pretty much gave me free reign.
My little brother was wrapped in cotton wool.
If he was bullied, my mother told him to carry on how he acted, and that's where the story comes in
>back story
>lilbro is age 14
>watches Disney
>says "eww eww eww eww eww" anytime he isn't happy with something, talks like a girl
>one day he thinks he is random, what do random people do in lilbro's world? they rhyme their words
>"funny" is replaced with "funny bunny", "lucky ducky" as a couple of examples
>he is literally talking like a small child
>if he isn't happy he says "BLOBBY"
>did I mention he isn't retarded or anything?
>I tell him to stop talking like an idiot and tell him that he will be bullied
>my mother says I'm putting him down about his creativity
>he starts saying this shit at school
>gets slapped for being an idiot
>he runs home crying
>my mum says "user why was your brother slapped?"
>for rhyming like a child
>I get shouted at because I'm exploiting a situation to put him down
>and of course lilbro chooses what is for dinner to make him feel better, almost a reward
>lilbro finds out I'm being punished
>"user you are...."
>he starts shaking his head
>"NOBBY! my friends called me that"
>he doesn't get it
>lilbro gets slapped and bullied at school because he is acting like more of an idiot
>more comfort food of his choice
>mum decides it is easier to move him to another school
>obviously more bullying
>mum says "I worry about the kids of today"
lilbro is now 23 and lives off of ready meals in a bedsit playing video games claiming autism bux because he got too fat to work even basic retail jobs.

Impossible to start
One thing
>Lexapro and cheap spirits

>isn't retarded

Fucking coddling, This kind of shit needs to stop. How are parents so goddamn diluted?

I wasn't allowed to cross the street by myself until I was seventeen.
I rarely went to friend's houses because I didn't want the stress of having to deal with my mom, and once after dropping me off a friend's house she circled back around because of a pizza guy stopping by.
She tried to charge me $200/month in rent while I was living with her while still keeping me in the house at all times, so I just said fuck it and left.
My sister did the same thing a year or two later.
I wish I'd had the freedom to do things that a lot of other kids had, and I wish I hadn't been so scared of her. It's made me an adult timid adult.

seriously.
He was normal, part of the tennis team and a model student, he would hang out with his friends, have them over and was just a regular kid.
Then one day he just wanted to be "random".
He did grow out of it, but it was too late, now he struggles with socialising because he can't practise it, so he just mumbles his words and keeps to himself.
I'm expecting him to kill himself in the next few years.

No idea.
The funny thing was that I got into fights and all sorts, my parents never gave a fuck.
They pretty much expected me to be lilbro's bodyguard, I could get into trouble, I could pass out drunk in a ditch, crash my car, you name it.
But if lilbro got slapped for being stupid you'd think the world was going to end.

Kek, slap the little bitch

I work with special needs children at a school and your bro does sound like he has autism / asp mix.

Hard to tell with an idiot parent though, who knows how he could of turned out if he was raised right or how much was genetic.

Tbh that's kind of normal, pretty sure everybody went through a "I'm gonna be random as shit" phase

>parents never let me to sleepovers because they were worried about who would be at the house even if they knew the parents
>parents never let me go to parties
>parents always would go through phone and computer
>parents barley let me go outside without supervision
>treat me like im 7 so act like it

I have been physically violent towards him, he tried attacking me like a Warcraft Rogue or something, I didn't know what was going on and I chinned him.
He didn't understand how I knocked him out as he had spent ages studying the attacks in a fantasy game.

He definitely regressed, but there's not a great deal that can be done now, he doesn't want to meet new people or get a new hobby.
His life literally consists of free to play games, tubs of broken biscuits and microwave meals.

I believe everyone does too, but everyone got called out for being an idiot at some point, most people listen, but my brother didn't, I doubt my mother encouraging his behaviour helped either.

how old are you and why cant you just do whatever the fuck anyways?

Tell us more user, he sounds like a giga retard

>Christian family values
>Helicopter parenting
>Mommy/daddy issues - you collect the fallout
Th usual

How do adults not realize treating your children like this are going to leave them unable to function in the real world?

>I doubt my mother encouraging his behaviour helped either.

Oh, it most surely didn't. If I was you I'd look at her and tell her to her face that his current state of affairs is like 40% her fault.

>The silly bitch.

So you're an edgy teen?
>listen to your parents retard they will always know better

Extreme self-dilution.

My cousin's are both fucked because of this shit. They'll never have a normal life and when my Uncle and Aunt die they'll have to live in a home or die with them.

I always assume my mom thought she was protecting me and my sister, that we would always be kids.
I understand what she was trying to do but she did it such an oppressive way that I had a hard time dealing with authority as an adult.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I guess.

that's like saying the customer is always right. sure it's true, but not all the time.

im 18 now and because I still live under my parents roof they control me
we're not religious at all but everything else is right

Kinda related topic.

Do you think parents should ground they're teens if they catch them having sex? If you ask me thats a great way to ensure your kids have a really really unhealthy mindset about sex.

Holy shit your cousin is Jesus Christ!

If that were the case may God have mercy on us all.........

Not too strict besides punishment. Other than that
Very sheltered, I'm sure had there been some kids in my neighborhood and vidya games werent the norm I might have done some exploring and gotten into some shit.

Mom yelled at me for some shit and grounded me from tv and friends.
Welp if I'm gonna be bored in my room I'm gonna go buy some candy.
Came back 20 mins later
she thought I ran away and was already calling people.
Lol the days of not giving your child a cellphone.

>lilbro gets WoW
>he didn't read the "subscription" but though

My little brother is the gigaNEET

no, my parents were always trying to get me to go outside and do stupid shit. sort of.

They encouraged rough sports like hockey and seemed disappointed that i didn't want to play after i broke my arm.
They only wanted to know where I'd be and when they could expect me back, they never asked who else would be there or what would be going on. Pretty awesome actually.

No, but I had/have highly-religious relatives who took every opportunity they could to criticize me and everything I enjoy doing. They don't talk to me today, mostly because I'm not a Christian like them.

>If I was you I'd look at her and tell her to her face that his current state of affairs is like 40% her fault.
Oh I have.
My mother told me that I'm bitter and jealous (I have a full time job, hobbies, a mortgage and a girlfriend) that my brother is a free spirit.
My dad told me that I am right that lilbro should have listened to me, but it is too late now.
My mother made a PoF dating profile for my brother and tried chatting up single mothers on his behalf, she has been trying for 2 years now, she gets new pictures of him when she invites him over for dinner.
The whole profile is literally him eating lasagna in the same clothes at different times of the year, claiming he is into reading and "broadening my horizons socialising with people from around the world".

...

You are just too kind user, you should tell your parents that their suck and stop all contact with them untill your little bro is forced to get out of the house and at least get a job

Oh my god, only arsenic could fix this now. Maybe strychnine.

That will show them *tips fedora*

>untill your little bro is forced to get out of the house and at least get a job
He gets money from the government and lives in a bedsit.
His expenses are:
>rent (bills included)
>internet connection
>nesquik
>bread and butter
>microwave lasagne (no mushrooms)
>broken biscuits
>strawberry juice (concentrate)
He doesn't need to drive or go anywhere, he lives independent of my parents (if you ignore the paying his WoW subscription and games when "he is in need of a pick me up").
My parents are powerless, I wouldn't want to risk lilbro stabbing them if they tried cutting his vidya off anyway.

It would cost the tax payer less in the long run.

Oh shit boi have I a story for thee
>have a little brother, annoying as shit constantly bugging me

>worst part was my mom helped him fill the shit out
>computer basically useless now, had to throw it away

>claiming he is into reading and "broadening my horizons socialising with people from around the world
lol

My nigga
>tfw they treat you like a child and expect you to act like an adult

is he still annoying?

Yeah, but I don't mean to get a job because the money but for the social skills practice and responsibility and all the good things it comes with it, no for the money

>got a virus
>PC become useless
>throw PC away
Oh boy do I have bad news for you!

is the "only gave me a phone when i was 12" part some kinda joke or am I too old to understand

what the unholy fuck would someone in the 5th grade need a phone for

>bro and I play Xbox
>parents always trying to control what I do and where I go
>just leave the house anyway, wander around doing nothing
I never drank, smoked, or did drugs. Never arrested, didn't get anyone pregnant. I think the worst life choice I ever made was coming to this site.

never get a phone until i was 14 and was a brick like one,they are supervalorated.Now i have a nice samsung and it is good but i could live fine without it

It bluescreened about 2 hours after I started it up. That's how I knew there was a virus.

>niggers
>dads
That's not what an average nigger family looks like

so is there a reason you didn't just reset everything to factory settings instead of throwing it all away?

Your coworker needs to stop being a jew

Nice b8 m8

twelve year olds are in seventh, i remember because that's he year we moved cross country. i skipped a grade, i was in eighth, and being a beta fag, would get teased about it relentlessly.

Probably because I was 16 and didn't know jack shit about computers at the time. Bluescreen meant garbage to me.

Not too big of a loss anyway. I never got to use it because I always worked and when I wasn't at work or at school my family was using it. Not to mention my mom kicked me out shortly after I turned 17 because I got into a fight with her and I had to stay with friends who didn't have internet.

I transferred to a different location. Now work with a lot people who really don't give a shit what I do and I'm marginally more careful.

yeah.
I should claim the same, because "frequently browses Sup Forums" could never work against me.

I know, the closest thing he had to work was when he was 16 (most students do 2 weeks unpaid work experience), he did one week at a supermarket in the warehouse, they told him not to bother with the second week.
I was told it was because he weirded out the others and didn't like walking about, granted that's Chinese whispers... but the hat fits.

go for it, maybe my anecdotes can help save someone else's lilbro.

And no one even tried to call the geek squad or sth?

I believed the story right up until you said you were black and knew your dad.

>Growing up
>Dad give me and other siblings $10 Christmas Eve
>Steals it back while we sleep
>Beats us the next day because we lost it

I had underprotective parents. I once got caught "sneaking" out of the front door at 3am when I was 15.. They just asked me where I was going and I told them and they were like.. "Okay, bye".

I was never allowed to go out with friends past 8pm in middleschool and high school. I was already shy but it got worse when I had to turn down party after party. I lost most of my friends and I never got rid of my shyness. Parents would always kick me out or say " Get a life". Kinda hard when I'm kept in fuckin chains. Now I'm 20 and it's all good but all my old friends are gone. Could've gotten laid at one those parties who knows.

All of these arguments are pretty accurate

Am i the only one who is the lilbro?
My parents were always overprotective to me but werent ignoring my bigger brother... i just had more privileges somehow... but i wanted his because he was allowed to stay up much longer and shit like this. I also had this phase that i was the whole weekend infront of a computer because my mom thaught ot would be a good idea that i should just be allowed to use it at weekends.. thanks to my brother i didnt end being a autistic faggot but i was close to. The only shit thing is that my parents think i still cant take care of myself and treat me like a child (om 19btw) and im gonna be next week alone at home for 3 weeks the first time in my life and it scares the shit out of my mom

How did you lose that shyness?

My parents used to always open up my mail and look at my bank statements and ask me about everything I spent money on.

Really pissed me off, I cancelled getting anything mailed to my house.

>diluted
deluded

I tried to talk to more people in college and it worked. Made some good friends at my mma dojo too.

I feel bad about your computer man. My parents locked mine up to the teeth when i screwed up one time and every time i asked if they could unlock it, they set some task that they knew that i couldnt do. didnt use it for a few years and just 2 months ago factory reset it so that i could use it.

You sound like a dick.

...

was initially planing to be lazy and hope some one else does it but I guess I have to do my own work

Wasn't allowed to help my dad wrangle alligators until I was 13 due to mom thinking it was dangerous

Probably because I am to most people.

Why were living with your folks if you had your own bank account?
