Anyone with insane parents should be given a hug right now.
hug me
Thats weird
i have good parents, and i am thankful for that
@@DccToon ok (hugs you)

All kids deserve a parent, but not all parents deserve a kid.
Very true.
True
I think Robin's said that before

That ish is now going on a post-it on my desk!
11:20 every single item on that list is harmful to babies.
1. Raw milk is one of the riskiest raw things you can consume (according to Google at least)
2. Raw eggs can cause salmonella
3. Honey, raw or not, can cause something called infant botulism in children under 1 years old.
I can only imagine how much less safe they are mixed together.
Those people are definitely going to get someone’s baby killed
And that, my friends, is how the whole human population was extinct. Tune in next episode where we will discuss their many acts of terrorism!
- Some alien probrably
med student here, humans in general aren't meant to consume whole milk, raw or not.
Some adults can withstand it, but for babies, the absurd ammounts of caseine and fatty acids that cow milk has makes it an awful (and really dangerous) alternative to breast milk.
It can cause something called necrotizing enterocholitis, which is just the medical term for when a baby's intestines stop moving and rot along with food and fecal matter stuck in them.
Even if a baby survives (probly with a bunch of damaged intestine surgically removed), consuming cow milk at that age is associated with severe food allergies, asthma, etc.
Raw milk by itself can cause tuberculosis, brucellosis, and another bunch of nasty diseases even in adults.
Raw eggs, depending on factors related with QA, can contain microbes such as salmonella, campylobacter, s. typhi (responsible for typhoid fever), and some more.
Raw honey is not an ideal housing for bacteria because of low water availability but it is for their toxins, such as the ones causing intestinal botulism (which also can affect adults), tetanus, diphtheria, etc.
TLDR don't feed your babies that crap, and don't eat that crap yourself, babies shoudn't eat anything but breast milk until >6 months of age, baby formula is only advised in a few situations but is obviously better than the things on that list.
Thank you!! I was hoping someone would be here pointing out the honey thing too
I noticed that was a post birth abortion potion when I saw the honey. You can kill a adult with the raw hono
As a 40 year old parent myself, the insanity and entitlement of these parents are INSANE!!! I could NEVER!!! We have a 19,20,&23 yo girls. We support all 3!!! No. Matter. What. The most successful and beautiful of a person you can be, is a happy person. Do not live your life for others.
You seem awesome.
@@Tommorows-Dream Ty sweetie! You too!!! 🫶🏼
you must have taught them well, you seem like you would do that.
@@Dragonyy-sb51 awe! Tysm. I mean I’m quite partial to them. They’re pretty respectful unless you’re uptight rude. And then they absolutely will not let you get away with NOTHING! Lol but I love that about them. I absolutely encourage that behavior. But then again I might be a bit biased
seems reasonable though@@erikarussell1142
emkay still darkmode pog
ikr darkmode > light mode
It's way better this way
Dark mode is for cool people like the people of Emkay
Facts
I like your profile picture @Meep❤
oh damn
hi, i'm mold house ( 0:37 ) and lung problems ( 25:57 ) guy, i didnt expect to see two of my posts in this video lol
little brother and i watch emkay and he sent me this video saying that he heard a "familiar story"
wow
oh wow, hope you're doing alright
oh god do i feel bad for you. get out while you still can good lord
what does mold house even mean
@@schnarg_da_cigsmoker_25 its a house that infects other houses with mold.
My parents were amazing people.
I feel so bad for the people who have to deal with these psychopaths.
Thx my dude
This sub reminds me how it can always be worse. Yea having a mother who smokes around you while your literally asthmatic is rough, but it can always get worse is what this sub has taught me.
As an psychopath myself (I am saying I am one from some random internet test) these parents are... something
These parents are the type that get minimum contact after 18 and wonder why.
Oopsy poopsy you're gonna die alone in the old folks home :)
I moved out and cut contact at 18 and my mother claims to be so shocked and traumatized by it that she had to go to therapy.
Like i literally left her a whole letter explaining why i left and she claims to anyone who listens that its a total mystery to her.
It's pure delusion.
Oh boohoo why does my kids not talk to me😭
Parents: Constantly belittle and abuse their children.
Children: Go no-contact with their parents.
Parents: Shocked Pikachu Face.
I have CPTSD from my birthgiver, a lot of the posts on r/InsaneParents remind me of her. Seeing others deal with similar bullshit really sucks; you're not alone. I hope the op's of these posts can get out of these situations and heal.
Also I'm super happy for Robin's narration on these, he makes it more tolerable
Ik what ptsd is but what is cptsd?
@@Harry-fw7ge complex ptsd. It's from prolonged/repeated trauma/abuse over the course of months/years
Thanks
uhhh… birthgiver….?
(Sorry that sent 3 times)
@@addisonjudah the woman who gave birth to me. I refuse to call her "mom," which probably sounds childish...
I feel so bad for everyone who has to deal with these kind of people. As someone who also deals with parents like these people I hope you are able to be free of their toxicity.
both my parents are very sweet and nice, watching this video reminds me of how awful it could be
Make sure you tell them that. As a parent, we always feel deep down like we aren't doing good enough / can do better. Give them a big hug and tell them how much you love them. Nothing means more to us than that.
Fr, makes me so appreciative I didn't have to live with my abusive grandfather full time (even tho it felt like it sometimes)
Not both my parents, but my mum is an angel bought down from heaven. I just love her so much.
So.. when I was getting ready to move out when. I was 19. My mother decided to hide my shit and lock it up, and she took my ID out of my wallet and hid it while I was asleep. When my friend, who was picking me up to move as I didn’t drive at the time, came around, my mom FLIPPED out. She called the police. She tried to use my mental health as a reason for the cops to support her claim-note I was not a danger to myself or anyone else, and I have NEVER, not even once had any ideations of the big S. The cops listened to her, my friend drove off for a little bit on the direction of the cop to cool my mother down in that moment, and once the friend was gone, the cop looked her right in the face and said “She’s 19, right?” My mother confirmed. Cop: “then give her back her ID. If she wants to leave, she can leave. She is an adult. The only one here doing anything appropriate is you by illegally withholding her property.”
And yes, I moved. She legit called my sister and told her to follow us. My sister did, but only for a very short time. She knew there was NOTHING she could do. Later on, she laughed about it and said “well the hell did she expect me to do? Ram the Car? Swerve ahead of you?” And so she stopped after about 5 minutes and turned home. Heck, she moved out while pretty young and moved in with her future in-laws while still in college just because of mom’s BS. She knew exactly what I was going through and the lashout it provoked from our mother.
My sister told me after mom died, she felt relieved. She didn’t realize just how much she was walking on eggshells while having a low contact relationship with her until she was gone.
Couldn't sit through this one because it reminded me too much of how my own parents abused and threatened me, PTSD is one hell of a drug.
I believe it I have c-ptsd, I hope you were able to calm down and soothe your nerves with something more harmless to watch
I hope can find help and therapy for it dude, i dont have it, but know people who do, and it is hell on earth. I really hpe for a recovery for you due. BEst of luck
I find them both triggering and soothing... bad memories, but it's also not just me!
you need a hug
@@PaimonTheSlay was that a question or a statement? Either way, always 🤣
I would like the person at emkay who came up with the idea of switching to dark mode a thorough handshake and a hug
i have costochondritis as well, and i can agree, sometimes you have to sit out and rest. it can feel like you're being stabbed every time you breathe, and it sometimes happens unprovoked. It makes it hard to breathe sometimes as well. i'm sorry that his mother isn't understanding of that
I don't have what you have but my lungs got trashed from multiple covid reinfections and post viral chronic illness, which feels almost exactly like chronic sarcoidosis sometimes. Got pulmonary fibrosis and the whole shebang, feels like my lung capacity got halved and it hurts to breathe sometimes. Sometimes my chest feels like it's vibrating or rattling and my breath gets wheezy pretty often. Shame on that mom for ignoring something so horrible to live with that their kid has, lung problems are no joke.
hiya, im the guy from the post in the video lol, im really relieved to see this
Usually these posts don't actively make me cry, because I can't really relate to insane parents that much. I like laughing at the pathetic parents who think they can still control their child when they're adults and such. But 24:58 got me really bad. I imagined myself in those shoes and if it was me receiving that message from my mom. The thought of being permanently erased from my family like that, burning every tangible memory they have of me, it hit me so bad I broke down and cried. I know this was because OP got a restraining order and this is better than keeping her in OP's life, but it made me cry because I was imagining it coming from people I love.
One time when I was a teenager, my mom pulled out her photo collection to make a scrapbook. Literally thousands of photos. I sifted through them to help her look for specific photos she needed and realized that for every one photo of me, there were *dozens* of photos of my brother and father. It's like I was an afterthought in their lives. When I moved out, they tried to guilt me into coming back by sending me photos of myself as a kid. But they were only able to find around 3 photos of me where I was smiling. I remember that I was crying in a lot of the other pictures, which is likely why they never sent those ones.
It really is painful to realize that you mattered so little to your own mother that they don't even cherish any of those mementos of your childhood. It really solidifies how much you mean nothing to them if they aren't getting what they want out of you.
@@LilChuunosukei really hope youre holding up well
that's horrible
@bowserjrimacasualshutup6754 i wont lie it can get painfully isolating not having any family i can lean on in times of need, but my life is the happiest its ever been even with all the hardship.
22:32 I do believe that the mom stole the kid's social security disability insurance money and then kicked them out.
Wow why am I not surprised it's almost like this happens to disabled folks pretty often
The new emkay background is amazing.
Perfect for watching this during a late night.
I agree, especially as someone w/ dark mode on everything else
@@v0iddoesgacha I AM ALSO THAT SOMEONE.
Chostochondritis suuuuucks, bro. They're definitely right to take it easy and not push too soon; the pain from it is on record as sometimes being as bad as giving birth, and if you mess up recovery, it can become a permenent issue. It's no joke.
Also the pablum thing reminds me of my aunt-in-law. She keeps insisting that I give my at the time 7 month old dairy products. She says she gave them to her kid, whom I have never met and I believe may be deceased, from the age of 2 months. She also complains that my youngest child, the aforementioned infant, is not walking yet (while another infant present is 3 months older and not walking either) and my eldest, 2.5 years old, isn't potty trained yet. The latter of which stopped when I mentioned that my doctor's 5 year old still wears pull-ups to bed. This lady also complains that we don't visit her. Her apartment is tiny, she is a hoarder, said apartment is disgusting and my oldest is smart enough to voice his disapproval and possibly break some of her stuff. All around the biggest pain in my ass.
I have costochondritis... It's awful. What op didn't mention is that "that place where the ribs meet the bone in the middle of your chest" is an articulation NEEDED for a wide range of movements and TO ALLOW YOUR LUNGS TO EXPAND (so you can BREATHE).
So if you have an inflammation on a knee you just don't put stress on that knee, maybe use a brace or something. If you have pain due to an inflammation on the articulations in your hands then you use them less and opt for stuff that are easier to grab/operate so
you don't have to put stress on those articulations. You can't just stop breathing to put less stress on the articulation affected by costichondritis.
Even someone hooked to a ventilator would still need that articulation for theirq lungs to expand. Imagen if you hurt your knee running but you'll get eaten by a lion if you stop running that's still not the case but that's similar to what it feels like.
hiya, im op from the post lol, i dont know too much about it didnt do too much research on why shits going down cuz the doctor i went to acted like it was a thing thatll go away; im thankful for ur comment, im learning a lot through these
@@orokakunI'm sorry about your parents OP. Hopefully your situation is much better these days.
on the baby formula: pls dont give toddlers honey, its dangerous. (as well as eggs and raw milk... all 3 are dangerous in their own way)
You can give a toddler honey, but not a baby under a year old.
These stories just make me realize how lucky I am to have my two loving parents.
Can confirm. Even when I was a young kid, I could just disappear with no warning for the whole day without anyone being bothered by it. And I didn't have a bad family life, they just had way more trust in me than, looking back at what a little turd I was, I ever warranted.
the Media offline ad break might be the best yet
Please please please dont give a child year or under honey. It can be deadly. In fact it's recommended to wait until they're over 2.
I watch this kind of thing instead of horror movies now. Stories like these help me put my own parents' self-absorption, disinterest, and infallibility in a realistic context. I have so very little to complain about.
Ah finally a dark-mode user friendly EmKay background!
that "sick house full of mold" mom is exactly like my mom i think shes actually said all that word for word before 😭😭
hiya, thats my post lol, maybe we're secretly siblings or something /j
7:36 You can unlock room doors by shoving a credit card in the place where the lock meets the door. It might not work for all doors but it leaves no damage. This person can easily get their stuff, re-lock the door and leave.
Depends on the lock type, some have a hole in the doorknob where you can stick in a special key or paperclip, and there’s prob other types too. They’re made so you can access the room in emergencies or if a kid figures out how to lock the door from the outside
Only an hour late heck yeah!
Just a small note here: Robin, you’re my favorite narrator for Emkay. I hope you start getting more wholesome posts to cover so you get a break from nightmare parents haha
The whole 19 year old sleeping in thing is insane to me, because my mother is not great at all and even still, she didn't feel the need to know precisely where I was at all times when I was in college
insane parents, putting the no in no relationships until marrige
And then the parents are like, "WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET MARRIED AND START A FAMILY AND GIVE ME GRANDCHILDRENNNNNN :((((("
@@Snow_Skitter Ikr like bitch pick one!!!
11:12 also, honey isn't safe until your baby is at least a year old! It can potentially cause infant botulism!
This episode is the Cliff Notes of what I’ve had to deal with all my life. At least I know that I’m not alone in dealing with pure manipulation. No contact is a life saver.
I'm so emo i saw "where are you" and audibly said "and I'm so sorry"
I can get wanting to make sure your kid is safe (checking in and stuff), but tracking your kid?
I mean with years of fear mongering I honestly understand why tracking your kids is a thing. We grew up with adults all telling us how dangerous the world is and making it seem like every stranger is a potential kidnapper I'm surprised it's not more like that one South Park episode.
Something about this man yelling at insane parents like mine is so soooo comforting. Thank u for your service dude. Its really helpful ❤
Boo (scared you)
I got very scared (real)
So scared (truthful)
I got so scared my socks flew off (I am very scared)
bro i started tearing up you scared me 😭😭
screaming and throwing up rn(so scared)
The phone thing is weird. However I have encountered someone that wouldn't pay me back all of the money that they promised because they "pay my phone bill". The "best" part is that 2 weeks after this interaction my phone was disconnected. While I was at work.
i like the dark layout, it makes watching a bit more pleasant (I feel like it doesn't distract me from the memes as much as light one did)
As a 19, almost 20 year old with an absolutely insane parent who refuses to respect my freedom as an adult or even treat me like a genuine human being at all, this sub always both makes me feel better that I'm not the only one with an awful parent like this, and also feel horrid for these people because I know exactly what they are going through. Stay strong loves, I promise you'll be able to get away from these psychopaths one day, you're a wonderful person and it's not your fault. You deserve better.
19:50 They literally sell drops to help with a baby's upsettummy. Forgot what they're called but it's like $5 and isn't some weird thing that's potentially dangerous.
Think it might be vitamin or probiotic drops of some kind? I'm not a child expert nor do I really like kids so don't take my word for it
These videos are coming out faster than I can watch them.
This subreddit is what made me fall in love with Emkay
29:06
This is how my school justifies the fact that they aren’t replacing the lead pipes that are currently decaying from the inside
Meanwhile, I get sweet messages from mum asking me if I want something tasty she saw in the store or just random 'I love you' texts. I feel lucky. Gotta go hug her now.
bro this makes me realize that my parents are so good to me and i feel extremely bad for others going through that stuff, like my parents are the best and i cant believe i took me that long to realize that.
The sheer amount of time I find out my students have a parent like that freaking me out
27:13 As someone who also has costochondritis, that shit HURTS. There were several occasions where I had episodes of chest pain that a lot of people would associate with a heart attack, and there’s nothing you can really do till it goes away on its own. That poor kids parent is mental
Loving the dark background, it's great because i always watch this in my room in the dark lmao😂
Just giving context to the costochondritis story. Costo is an inflammatory disorder that affects the little joints where your ribs meet your sternum. It's incredibly painful and it often flares up with these attacks of intense pain that legitimately feels like a heart attack. Anything that requires you to move your arms or engage your ribs can worsen that inflammation and trigger one of those attacks, as can the cold and even a hug. I have costo and even wearing a seatbelt or picking up an empty cup can be enough to cause pain. Telling someone with costo to just man up and go to practice is insane, doubly so for a sport like volleyball that not only requires you to move your arms wildly but actually engage your chest and shoulders with force.
hiya, im the guy from the post ur talking about lol, im relieved to see that someone has knowledge on this stuff
@@orokakunI'm so sorry you had to experience that. People who don't have it or have never had it has no idea how much costo hurts. I hope you managed to get better and could get back to living your life.
9:48
"OH MY GOD THERE'S MORE!"
I was not prepared for that, lmao.🤣
New background is fantastic!
Darkmode emkay is the best thing to come out of 2024. Please keep this I beg you.
You’re one of my most favourite narrator
I love the new Emkay media offline merch 🔥🔥🔥🔥
11:15 I was, in fact, tabbed out, but JUST because of the reaction to the formula, I had to pull up the video to see THIS madness.
The new title format gets me a bit confused.
I haven’t watched emkay in 2 years and thankfully robin is still here my favorite commentator
go back and watch all the stuff you missed, it was almost all Robin
Love the new title style
lol these stories remind me of smth my mom and stepdad did to me a few days ago. i had to work an afternoon shift at my job but i came down with a 101.8°f fever and was extremely nauseous and visibly shaking bc of how week i was. i asked if i could call in and they both told me no, saying i wasn't sick enough
I'm so glad emkay is finally making videos with dark background
I feel like these parents would ask their kid a question and say "Its okay if you say no!"
and then when they say no they go "WOW. HOW DARE YOU SAY NO TO YOUR OWN PARENT?????"
I had parents like this! While I do occasionally struggle due to the lack of support system in my life, cutting all the crazies out was one of the best things I ever did. I can actually work where I want during the hours I want, can date girls, can sleep in late without being dragged out of bed by the ankles, put off doing chores until i feel up for it, take time off work to spend time with friends, etc.
I wish I had a normal family I could lean on for support during tough times, but I'm happy to be free.
I loved the media offline sliding in it’s ok editors we all make mistakes
This type of subreddit makes me very uneasy and sad. So much frustration and resentment bottling up because a parent refuses to communicate with their kids
One of my favorite subreddits narrated by one of My favorite narrators
You know what, the parent that was mad about sleeping in. It’s the weekend, they are 19, if they work they are gonna definitely gonna be tired after work at night.
And into the robin laughing playlist you go.
3:03 huh? No, that's not how sleeping works.
This is literally the only question you can not answer with "yes"
Mom: Are you sleeping?
OP: Yes
xD
9:48 This caught me off guard so hard, I think I’m dieding 😂😂😂
11:24 Aren't babies not supposed to have honey either?
sobs "so if you're tabbed out" made me swap back over
As one with two insane parents (One a criminal and absolutely lost in the conspiracy sauce and the other severely mentally ill that I was parentafied to take care of her early on instead of her parenting me), I'm actually slightly grateful that they taught me, unintentionally, how to actually treat my children in the future and these r/insaneparents posts have really helped me identify not just the terrible abusive behaviour my own parents exhibited that I didn't realise was abuse but also my own toxic traits so I can go to my therapist and figure out a healthier path to use in the future.
r/insaneparents is a strange blessing to Reddit; even if the posts are awful to see, it actually helps make change for the future, even if it's just me.
That's why I always have my phone on airplane mode unless I need it. My parents are already used to me not responding/calling back bc we see each other irl before I check my messages. (still in high school)
Seeing DMs like this, I wonder whether I'm lucky or unlucky that my mother refuses to let me leave without reporting anyone who tries to help me leave for "kidnapping" vs being kicked out with nowhere to go.
Had very similar issues with my parents. One of the first things I did was to switch over as many bills as possible to my name. They made it next to impossible for me to do so, refusing to cancel the existing arrangements.
I ended up just getting my own phone and car that was in no way connected to them.
Remember, the only reason they insist on paying your bills, is so that they can threaten to cancel them whenever you do something they don't like.
Love how this video starts with a post Robin has read before just to confuse us
I'm loving the new dark theme!
Stop treating kids like your very own Tamagotchis.
"So if you're tabbed out, just know that it's garbage."
He says as I tab back in just to read it 😅
So actually about raw milk, you have to drink it immediately, because like 1-2 days after, it becomes dangerous.
Louis Pasteur is rolling in his grave right now
@@S3lkie-Gutz i drank raw milk a lot when i was young so i would know
@@TcgStudio I believe it, without pasteurization it goes bad quicker. Even worse that someone wanted to give an infant that
@@S3lkie-Gutz yeah not to an infant though
I love how I can relate to so many of these crazy parent posts. Glad things finally got better after 30 something years 9__9
The one at 4:20 is exactly the time when you get all your personal belongings out of their house, leave, and after the forget just block them and pretend they never existed in the first place.
5:08 premiere pro moment?
Love the dark theme background!
in the first 20 seconds i actually have a friend like that, where his mom always wants where he is and his mom always knows his location
new merch promo looks sick!
For the record, giving any child under the age of 18 months honey can cause botulism. Adults have a strong enough of a immune/digestive system to fight it off.
Robin's a Control fan. A man of taste.
1:37 as a mold expert, i feel offended
Loving this dark mode theme
I basically never left the house (except for uni and school) so my parents would genuinely panic when I am not in the house. They would sound like these insane parents posts but it's just in text cuz they are genuinely shocked and scared when and if I actually did go somewhere.
The one ending with the "spooky" near the start sounds more like actually insane parents over the "sh*tty-abusive-brats-acting-like-children" parents
I wish I could adopt all these children, teens and young adults. You deserve so much better ❤
Wake up Emkay just posted
These parents make me wonder. If they don't care about their kid, and someone else sees it, cant they they report them for child endangerment? Why cant the kid fight back?
They make sure their kid can't get help with emotional manipulation tactics and isolating them from the community as much as possible by being super strict and surveillant
