A lot of these parents actively kept their kids dependent and helpless and loving panic when they're losing their lifelong slave.

Not quite the same, but I recently realized my relationship with my dad is that he’s an ex-employer. At like 12 I was submitting receivables for him and only recently realized the family income stream probably shouldn’t have been a child’s responsibility. In theory I got paid but I also maybe should have been playing with friends or something. Also payment doesn’t mean that much when it’s a joint account and the child can’t get to the bank without a ride.

A friend of mine growing up had to submit receipts for everything and had to turn in left over cash at the end of the day every day. I think to keep him off drugs, which it turns out if you're cool people will share with you.

Ghost Leviathan posted:A lot of these parents actively kept their kids dependent and helpless and loving panic when they're losing their lifelong slave. Big time. And not always intentional, in my case I felt extremely isolated and an outcast as an ND nonbinary person with one of only two single mom families in my small prairie town growing up. I had a really hard time making friends, so I spent most of my childhood at home or only playing with family or family friends. Then we moved to the city, and I met other weirdos like me, and people from broken or blended homes, and I completely transformed and became social and outgoing, and they hated the new me that actually wanted to have their own life for once. And in less than 2 years I was gone lol Edit: the massive relentless trauma experienced in my early formative years didn't fuckin help with my social skills either SulfurMonoxideCute fucked around with this message at 19:27 on May 29, 2021 |

I find that telling people exactly why you don't talk to the estranged parent/person usually results in them backing off and saying "oh, wow. I didn't know" in a shocked/horrified tone, unless they're also evil in which case they try to tell me it "can't have been that bad" and "nobody's mom acts like that" Like ma'am what would you do if YOUR mom told you she didn't want to be your mom any more and that you were a worthless homo slut? Come round with a fuckin' cake? I have work to do

I will admit to taking satisfaction in shocking those types with terrible childhood stories. My go to is talking about my six figure earner parents not liking to buy groceries. A couple of girls at my high school would switch off making me lunches so I would have something to eat that day. Another good one is when I was 16 and figured out my hands were small enough to steal pads from one of those period product dispensers in a public restroom. Oh I'm sorry Phyllis, did that make you uncomfortable? Perhaps now you will shut the gently caress up about FAMILY. Headed out now for a holiday BBQ with my chosen family who like and respect me.

Mx. posted:not enough of an rear end in a top hat, shut that poo poo down properly 100% learned this lesson when my in laws started calling in favors from friends and trying to find an in-road through our jobs. Alternatively talk to a manager if you feel like you can because poo poo is unprofessional and could lead to a situation at work.

Alice should absolutely be reprimanded, good intentions are irrelevent. Also, found this on Reddit, thought it was appropriate for this thread:  Ninja Edit: For mockery, of course, especially the line about "Biological property".

I definitely remember being told that I was property until I was old enough to vote so i'm pretty sure that was a common sentiment never "genetic property" though because my parents bought used, so to speak

Neito posted:Alice should absolutely be reprimanded, good intentions are irrelevent. So. Does the "biological property" belong to the parents, or the grandparents? Also this reads a lot to me like the Mens Rights arseholes who complain about women "stealing" their sperm to make babies that the men will later fight like hell to avoid paying for in court, or demand custody of because there is no way that bitch is getting anything of "mine".

Neito posted:MRAs, SovCits, and Rejected Parents venn diagram stacks on top of each other like a set of delicious pancakes. They absolutely do. They also love to make videos of themselves telling CPS to go away and when they leave they act like it's a :masterstroke: on their part. I think they hate CPS in part because they see their children as property and their property as sacred, so any external power that can compromise their control of either is a huge threat to them. The same people who might be rabidly "Blue Lives Matter" will flip the gently caress out at the Buereau of Land Management or Child Protective Services.

I always took the hatred of CPS as a symptom of a different kind of narcissism. i.e. "CPS gets called on 'bad' parents. But I can't be bad at anything because I am so awesome! Therefore it is your fault as a 'bad' child for showing me up, and CPS's fault for believing you. Also it is CPS's fault, (not mine, coz I am so awesome), for daring to make me face the reality that abusing my child has the consequences of my child being taken away and I being called an abuser." They don't mind abusing/neglecting/loving up a child, but they hate it if CPS try to do anything about it, because that makes them look bad.

Having known a few people who've had their children taken from them, CPS seems like an arbitrary and unfeeling monster to them. I've only met a couple of people where they acknowledge the fact that they hosed up, the rest tend to feel like CPS was blowing things way out of proportion and that it was just a little mistake here and there. They tend to blame everyone else for why their kid didn't have food to eat or didn't wear anything but dirty clothes or why they were hosed up on meth or whatever when they got arrested. These kinds of people live in a delusion, kind of like your typical divorced dad whining about not being able to see his kids that he avoids seeing in the first place.

CPS as some sort of force of nature that you either accept as a part of life or hate, but doesn't reflect on your actual skills as a parent. I had a coworker years ago who was pregnant. "I'm a great mom! I've had multiple children taken away, I've apparently written them off completely and I'm having another baby. That's just how it goes sometimes." I didn't know how to respond at the time. I don't know what I'd say now. Never mind that things generally have to be really loving egregious for CPS to come in and seize your children.
