In the first story, so the wife forced her daughter to fail so the daughter wouldn't joined the air force. The daughter probably hates her mom for doing that.
Isn't the airforce the least dangerous anyhow? That is if that's what her mother was worried about. But I get the impression she was just selfish and didn't want her kid far away which makes it worse if that's the case ...
@@EL-ISS Well the danger depends on the job they give u. U could be sitting comfy flying UAVs, refueling aircraft (Which is what my Dad's brother did during Desert Shield/Storm), or u could be flying an A-10 or something.
Mom not wanting daughter to join Air Force: had a similar situation . Lived in Maryland. Applied to Arizona State U and never heard from them despite having an ACT score in the 98 percentile. 25 years later mother admitted to discarding all correspondence from them (including offer of full scholarship) because she didn't want me to move so far away. Stopped speaking to her.
Thats jacked up. My mom didn't want me joining the army, but she took custody of my daughter so I could, her words were "i don't like it, but I don't want you to blame me for not getting to try" my dad was army, and the DoA didn't do right by my mom when my dad passed away, but she thanks every veteran she sees. I couldn't imagine her trying to keep me out to the point of letting me fail school. (Although I was more of a goody goody in school, so ...but not the point)
Y'know, the funniest part about parents fucking over their kids so they won't move away, is that their kids would often talk to and visit them MORE if they didn't do it.
my nephew's mom is the same way...she has no custody of her kids and her daughter wants to go to school out of state (she's also not paying for her kid's college at all) and pretty much demanded her daughter go to school near her just because she wants her daughter nearby
that first story pissed me off, the mom basically ruined their daughters life for her own selfish needs, im glad i have a good mother that would support me instead of do that.
No, she literally ruined her life. Honestly at the end of the story it started to sound like fiction, quite extreme... (Just to be clear I'm not saying I think it is, I'm saying that it sounds like something that would be in a story, unusual and honestly, unreal...)
@@eglol It could be fiction but before you poo poo it my mom was very similar and I met others. My mom refused to let me take ap courses or college courses my last year of high school despite being a top student (I was able to get into Ap Calc though) she would refuse to let me go to visit college or do the applications online so I had to sneak to the library and do them. She also threw out my w2s in an effort to prevent me from getting financial aid because she was pissed that I had decided to not commute to a college and now she had to take care of herself.
My parents are procrastinators about school and basically everything, so idk how to apply for school and I'm not allowed to get a job even tho I'm legally allowed to have one so :(
Bruh, that first one has me so mad. Imagine so selfish, that you intentionally make your kid fail so they never move out. I guess the daughter does have some blame since for whatever reason, she wouldn't do the work. But ultimately, it's her mom's fault since she likely needed help.
My grandma was a teacher and one of her neighbors didn't send their kids to school. She asked them why, they told her that they were just going to wait until the kids were old enough for college and send them then. 🤣
That first story is heartbreaking. I know I was that difficult kid in school before that didn't turn in homework and my parents knew, and wanting the best for me, they pushed me to do it and turn it in. I could not imagine how betrayed I'd feel if one of my parents took advantage of my inaction so I'd never leave home. It wouldn't surprise me if the daughter moved out as soon as she could after that and cut contact with her mom, and if she wasn't surprised to find out about the divorce. Honestly if it were my kid I'd even help them move out if my partner were willing to set them up to fail like that for their own selfish desires.
I was one of those kids who's mom refused to acknowledge I was autistic. I didn't officially find out until I was 26 getting my son tested. By then it was too late for me lol
It's never too late. I found out I have autism at 23yo, and that helped me overcome many problems I had (some still need work) regarding society, college, job, et cetera.
@@pedropimenta896 that's definitely true. Another day, another lesson. One thing for me, I have to have at least one headphone in to concentrate on when things start to get overwhelming. If there's too much going on and I don't have my headphones I get overwhelmed so fast, but with music I almost don't at all. Before that, I used drugs to cope. Thankfully though, I've been clean now 8 years

To the K-12 charter school teacher who visits the students from home. My daughter transferred from a private to a public school; and while things got better for her, she would have bouts where she just couldn’t go to school (or go enough to met the number of attendance days would allow her to get credit for the class). So she was often put on homebound status, with a teacher meeting with each of her teachers, collecting the assignments to be done and delivering them and picking them up to return, and acting as a conduit for communication. If it weren’t for teachers like you, my daughter [who is now in her last semester of *college*] would never have been able to complete high school. Thank you.
I actually had the reverse of this happen to me, where the dumb ones were the teachers. Back in middle school I would get frequent headaches, and add my loud classmates to the mix and I would spend of decent amount of time hold my head and groaning quietly from the pain. Well, while this was happening I was also going through puberty and my voice can get pretty deep, so apparently to my teachers, it sounded like I was growling at my classmates and instead of talking to me about it, they decided to have me eat lunch with the Special Ed kids. I was not happy and it took a few days for them to finally realize I wasn't mentally handicapped.
@@mattm8596 No, these were like, going to need help with pretty much anything they're entire lives, Special Ed kids. Like the ones you see strapped to wheelchairs and drooling on themselves disabled. The teachers were comparing me to them.
@@adrestiaceaser3011 Oh, I didn't realize it was that kind of special ed, sorry you had to go through that. As someone who was in the higher-functioning sped program, I've had similar situations where I was put in meetings with lower-functioning students (like the ones you described), and it just did not feel right.
Before I went to middle school, I was thriving. I was at the top of my class especially for reading and writing and gotten awards. But when I reached middle school, they, immediately upon learning I was deaf, forced me into special ed. They treated me like I was absolutely stupid. They tried to teach me how to read, criticized everything I did, tried to assist me in the bathroom, had an aid follow me EVERYWHERE and tried to do stuff for me that I was very capable of doing, even following me to the carport after school and asking me over and over while pointing at each car, "Is that your mom? Is that your mom?" etc. Then refusing to let me leave when my mom arrived until she confirmed it was her. My self-esteem and confidence dropped like a rock. Especially when they started the gaslighting and lying and doing everything they could to prove I was stupid. The only thing I couldn't do was hear.
My friend’s mom taught elementary school, and she regularly had to have conversations with parents, fathers in particular, about not throwing away their daughter’s homework before she could complete it and turn it in. Apparently these men figured that their daughter’s only purpose was to get hitched and have babies, so learning the basics wasn’t necessary. It was really sad to think about.
So that first story... On the one hand, to hell with the mother for putting her own wishes ahead of the daughter's best interests. On the other hand, daughter refused to apply herself after multiple chances, didn't bother to try again to graduate, and went into criminal activity. Seriously doubt the Air Force Academy would have been the place for her anyway.
My personal OBSERVATIONS in a simmilar situation to the first storry, some parents instead of creating an environment- where kids want to go back to, surround them with "dangers". It's a shortsighted strategy, becouse if the kid experiences life outside those fictional boundaries he doesn't want to go back, and sees parents as oppressors. Seen this from my own perspective and from a side too many times.
When I was 15 I was volunteering at a very small private K-12 inner city school where my mom worked for school credit so I could graduate faster. One day at recess there was a drive by shooting. My mom started screaming and ran past several kids, even knocking one over, to get inside the building. I stayed with the little kids to protect and help them. I ended up covering one with my own body until the bullets stopped. No one ended up getting hurt--no thanks to my mom. By the time the parents came to pick up their children she'd decided on a plan to deflect attention from her abject cowardice and flagrant dereliction of duty. She took the time to explain to the parents that even though I'd thrown a kid to the ground and had been lying on top of the child, it wasn't any kind of SA. She didn't think I could hear her because I wasn't in the room but I was in an adjoining room out of view so I heard everything. The parents and other teachers were absolutely shocked and disgusted with her that she'd even suggest that since it was so obvious from context what was going on and the response was basically asking her what the hell was wrong with her. So uh, good job mom, you successfully managed to deflect the conversation from your personal failings to your disgusting and unnecessary personal attack on me, not for the first time. I ended up going no-contact with her. I think that facing death is one of the circumstances that lays bare your true soul and brings out who you *really* are inside. It forces you to drop all the lies and facade you've built around yourself. I take great comfort in the fact that when that happened, I proved that I was a better person than my mom. No matter what lies she tells about me, no matter how she attacks me, no matter what emotional scars I have from her, nothing can change the fact that my truest self is a better person than she could ever be.
I had flat earth parents yell at me while I was in student teaching. They wanted to teach “both sides” of the issue. I laughed in their faces. I was officially reprimanded to check boxes, but the teacher and principal told me they would have done the same.
Story 14 reminded me of a mental disorder I read about once. The basic gist is that people believe that someone they know was replaced with an identical doppelganger, likely with ill intent. I find it really fascinating how the mind can just break in that way, where it seems plausible that anyone had the resources to just replace people for the sole purpose of f*cking with a random nobody, but I really hope she got the help she needs.
Me and 2 of my friends get this. For us and many others it’s the same as OCD (which is part of why I experience this) where we know it’s illogical and isn’t true. But we have this overwhelming anxiety pushing us to act accordingly as a just in case thing. There’s always this evil little “but what if” thought when it happens
It's still idiotic because she was trying to argue with the purported imposters who wouldn't have any interest in confirming her allegations either way. The better way to investigate is to instead alert someone outside the immediate group of supposed imposters.
Story #25 the mom was probably abused herself and was repeating what the boys father had said or he told her to say that. I was in an abusive relationship and my husband insisted on subpar parenting especially with his teachers. He told me to say things I knew were not true but thankfully I left him and we are divorced now and he doesn’t have our son
Story 14, i couldn't figure out if that was a joke post or if this lady was playing real life Among Us. I was waiting until everyone voted her off the ship
In the fist case, I was expecting to hear that the mother had said "She DOES her homework! She washes the dishes, folds the clothes when they're taken out of the dryer, and vacuums all the rooms, and any other homework I ask her to do."
I am responding about the parent who did not want her child to be tested for autism. She might have been thinking that she did not want her child to be labeled. That might work out OK while they are attending grades pre k through 12, but in most states all students have the right to a free public education until their 22nd birthday. Without the testing it can be difficult to get them in to any program.
It's really not ok k-12 either. Getting "labeled" also means you get the help you need. You can't be given accommodations (including extra help geared towards specific learning disabilities) if you don't have something that says you need them. I wish I'd been diagnosed with ADHD as a kid instead of as an adult so I could have learned coping strategies when I was younger before I came up with my own, less effective, ways of coping with it. A grown ass adult, both my parents are dead, and I just found out this year that I have ADHD and the more I learn about it, the more I say "oh, that's why I do that."
Bruh I wanted to watch this video, but the first story had me seeing red hot rage. You didn't just stop your kid from moving away, you literally ruined her life. There's a reason I've suffered from chronic homelessness and have struggled to hold and keep a job. My parents had an extensive history of drug abuse and alcoholism and I was forced to drop our of school to work and make sure my 3 other siblings were fed and taken care of, and eventually got split up by CS and I haven't seen any of them in 7 years. At least the next eldest sibling, my sister, is in college now studying nursing so she can care for the elderly, and my other 2 siblings are being well taken cared off. But I received the brunt force of the effects of their drug abuse, and haven't been able to make a life for myself since. I'm making this post on family day (its a holiday were i live, where people celebrate and spend time with family) on an empty stomach
Sorry that your was hard. But don't be harder on yourself. Make it better, something to live for. Fill your stomach and be proud. You did good. Much love and hug.
Wishing you lots of energy and that you are seen by someone in your area and find a way to a safe and happier life. If you feel like receiving a hug Put your right Hand on your left shoulder And your left hand on your right shoulder Arms tight to the body Close your eyes and feel the hug 🤗
@@zombiekidcrazy Had he simply said what you said-that the 1st story resonated with him because of his upbringing it would be one thing. But when he writes a full paragraph going into depth about what he's currently going through including having an empty stomach, it goes beyond just explaining that something resonated with him and seems more like he's simply participating in the "sympathy Olympics".
Story 5. The moms in denial and I understand. When I was born my mom and dad knew immediately that something was different about me. At first I was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder untill I was in my teens when I was diagnosed autistic. When my aunt had her baby and he was way behind for the first couple of years I said maybe he has autism like me. She got mad but didn't show it because she's nice. I was right on the money. A year later he was diagnosed autistic at age 3 1/2. She's told me she got mad because no parent want to be told their child will have a tough time. But she says she happy i said that or they might have not made the move to get him diagnosed so soon. Honestly I'm so happy that kids can be diagnosed so early now. My cousin will have the proper help and care he needs for his whole life Edit: of course this dosent excuse the parents behavior but I can understand
The first one kinda made me tear up. That student probably had big dreams and really knew what they wanted to do, but the selfish parents literally ruined any chance she had at getting to those dreams.
I worked with kids aged 1-3 years. There was a fair amount of children with autistic behaviors. I encountered two types of parents: (1) in total denial regarding the child’s behavior (2) parents wanted the autistic diagnosis so they could get a check from the state
I had to pause after the first story. I wasn't allowed to go off to college, only a community college. My 2nd oldest sister told my mom that girls only go to college so that they can sleep with people and get pregnant with multiple children and she believed it. My mom didn't graduate high school at all and she's beyond an idiot. She also has the handwriting of a first grader and you have to talk to her in the most simplest of vocabulary. My mother beat me until the age of 20. I was severely sheltered, I wasn't taught anything but I'm shocked I did graduate with my class. I remember failing 2 courses in high school because that same sister told my mom that my courses were on witchcraft (it was Algebra and Chemistry smh). I used to have to sneak and do my homework for those classes. I was forced to rip all of my college applications and acceptance letters in the kitchen or the beatings wouldn't stop. My dad didn't even know this was going on but he figured it out later. Fast forward, yes I'm somewhat slow in the blooming department as an adult but dad's been dead for over 10 years and it's just mama and I at home and I'm the one she relies on. Mama didn't really change until I got sick with a diseased gallbladder at 24 and dad's cancer got worse at the same exact time. Her having to deal with two sick people shook her up a bit. I'm finally gonna be finishing my bachelors at the end of this year in my 30s, and I can FINALLY.....FINALLY FINALLY!.....go to Berklee College of Music next year, which is what I was trying to do back in 2004. It was a tie between NYU and Berklee. Sad that it took me years to get there but I'm finally going. I wish parents stop doing this to their children. It's absolutely heartbreaking.
My best friend's cousin has really debilitating dyslexia, and she wasn't able to get help for it until college because her parents were extremely strict and absolutely refused to believe their daughter had a learning disability. They didn't even believe dyslexia was a thing. So she was illiterate for most of her childhood. And if that wasn't bad enough for her, the family immigrated from Bosnia when she was little, so she couldn't read in either language. So double the work.
4:20 My mother had much the same reaction. Guidance counselor tells her that I might have ADHD and I should be checked and that I was suicidal. She just flipped out on him and refused to allow me to see him anymore. He was right on both accounts and all she did was take a resource that gave me the slightest bit of relief away from me.
"Are you calling my Mom a liar?" I actually had a boss once, who looked a lady dead in the eye and said, "Yes ma'am, I am" when asked if she was calling her a liar.
My father was the Principal of a High School. The parent who made the biggest impression on him in his long career was the mother who stood up in a PTA meeting to complain that the school cafeteria had had the nerve to serve her Little Prince the heel of a loaf of bread,
Unless you've been one, you'll never really know. And even the stories don't do it justice. Some days end in a mind-numbing, stunned silence. And weeping -- often weeping. I've seen my own daughter and her co-workers literally brought to tears by clueless and insensitive cretans, both administration and parents alike.
10:45 This shows that this mother has not recieved any training in how to conduct investigations. If you suspect someone isn't who they claim to be, don't tip them off to your suspicions.
The first story is so fucked up imagine being so selfish that you want your child to fails that they won’t have a successful future just because you can’t stand the thought of letting go of them. That mother ruined her daughter’s life. It’s a good thing that the dad divorced her.
Say it with me. Autism is not a disease. Autistic kids are not stupid. They can care, they can love They can thrive in the world like anyone else. Having autism doesn't mean your broken. It means you see the world differently. Parents, don't let your child suffer because of misinformation about autism. The doctor diagnosed me at 6 and said I would be a burden. I would never learn, love, graduate, and my parents would forever take care of me. I am now graduating, I have had relationships, I can love, and I can care. I have my own apartment with 2 very cute cats.. I am not a robot. I just don't function well in high stress or loud areas. Just give me time to adjust.
No, some are stupid. It's not a superpower or anything u should want. I've literally met an autistic man who couldn't understand that he shouldn't be m**sturbating in public
Best story is teacher who wanted to have kid held back because theu would ensure that the kid would get the needed extra help the following year. Teacher, of course, was not even around next year because they moved out of state, but I'm sure they would have stuck around had the student been held back.
My son could read before kindergarten, the teacher started calling him her little Einstein. At the 1st parent/teacher conference the teacher told me that our son was not making friends. I asked her if she had any idea why, she said no, I then asked do you think it has anything to do with you calling him your little Einstein. I was not out to embarrassed the teacher but she turned beet red, I then told her to stop singling him out. The next conference I asked if his friend group had improved, and she was happy to say yes. It was cute at first that my son was being called le but it was causing other students to keep away from him because the teacher treated him differently. We made surprise visits to his class just to monitor him, he had many friends and was doing much better in school.
The one with the girl faking seizures when her mum becomes too overbearing, is worrying. It could lead to her receiving inappropriate medication for a medical condition she doesn’t have. Also, she could have seizure disorder or similar on her medical records and find it hard to shake it. How about the teacher encourage the family to get professional help to improve their relationship.
Numbers, kids failing out of school makes a school look bad, and funding often depends on the number of students in a school. So even if kids don't show up, can't read or write etc. It still makes the most sense for the school to do everything they can to get them to graduate.
Working as a substitute teacher, I once overheard a Mom tell her son (who happened to be an abominable, disciplinary problem) that he" didn't have to listen to those people (the faculty and staff), they weren't his parents. He only had to listen to her.
The one with the dad in jail makes me so mad because she literally said he abusive to her and then she moves out of state with him like why not divorce and move out of state where he won’t find her
Oh my god the first one is despicable! Imagine ruining your child's life just to hover over them- I understand maybe not wanting your child to be in the military, but in doing what that mom did, she likely ruined her relationship with her
In Story 26, the "Let's fix the Homecoming Queen vote" story, it sounds like that member of the band booster organization has a thing for the girl he wants to be the Homecoming Queen. If this is an adult we're talking about, I would have looked into that VERY carefully.
I was held back and had to repeat grade 3. Part of the way through that year we moved for my dad's work. I was bullied soooo badly in NY for being a year older than everyone. I see the parents' view, but the teacher was right.

I remember, so vividly, two lasses from my public school. They seemed to HATE each other, constantly arguing and glaring. One of them was a constant nail biter, and sometimes asked me if she could borrow the squishy toy I used to stim; I did. She was really nervous, and I couldn’t tell why. One parent teacher community thing was going on one night, I was there with my parents. I saw the two girls and their parents. Their parents were really snobby, dismissive and couldn’t stand one another. I kind of wrote it off as “oh, they picked it up from their folks, makes sense.” That all changed a couple of months later. I was staying behind for office hours, and went to use the john. I was a paranoid kid, so I just as wary of any noises I didn’t recognize. Then, I heard some noises from the broom closet, which was unlocked (janitors sometimes lost their keys. I was actually prone to finding them, lol, since I liked shiny things). Curious and scared, I grabbed a heavy book from my pack, and threw the door open, book over my head. I guess I was expecting see someone getting murdered or something, I dunno, but instead it was the two girls. Not doing anything wrong, just sitting in the closet, playing on their phones and kinda cuddling. The girl I was familiar with begged me not to tell the teachers, and me, being the shit stirrer I am, asked “what the fuck are you doing in a broom closet”. Then, they both spilled the beans. Turns out they used to go to the same Catholic private school, and they developed crushes on each other. When the teachers found out… rulers got involved, and the two girls changed schools. After a couple of bounces, they ended up in the same public school. They fought publicly cause they were terrified of any teachers outing them to their parents, or worse stuff happening if other kids found out. I was openly asexual (since most people didn’t know what that meant i didn’t get much grief), so I think that’s one of the reasons one of the girls kind of wandered over to me. They begged me not to say anything, and I vowed to not tell a soul. I moved schools two years later… I really wish I knew what happened to them. I hope they’re ok, cause no one deserves to have to hide who they are, let alone fight who they love, to avoid the homophobia of their parents, especially when thinking all teachers had eyes on them. It’s bloody horrible.
17:10 That is not where I thought that was going. I was expecting the "tattoos" to be severely inappropriate, but I think what actually happened is even funnier.
Wife was a teacher's aid in first grade and had a student who's homework was Obviously being done by her grandmother. And when asked, the grandmother denied it. So the teacher would send double homework back for both child and grandmother. Was told by the principle.

Story 10, where the kid fails pre-calculus and wants to be an engineer cuz his dad is an engineer. There's a problem already if he's taking pre-cacl in college. He's starting off behind.
I had a similar situation with a parent of a student come to the professor complaining that his subject was too hard. That she understood that class before and now she couldn’t even do it now. The parent came in person and complained about it. She’s like 23 and the class was chemistry. Practically everyone understood since they did the practice problems. He was in a bad mood after that day
#5 certainly hit home for me. I was not upset about finding out that I was diagnosed with autism as a child. FINALLY a lot of the difficulties I had had as a teenager and as an adult made sense, as they were related to someone who has autism. What I was upset about was that NO ONE told me ~ for 45+ YEARS!
Our daughter was an elementary school teacher for many years. Of all the stories about parent interaction, the two "buckets" that sadden us the most are (1) the parents that are completely delusional about their child's abilities and struggles, particularly the ones that are most likely to be 'on the spectrum' and could use all the help they can get (the stories about "I absolutely will not get my kid tested - they're perfectly fine" ring so, so true). And (2) the parents that are polar opposites of one another in terms of their philosophy towards raising and educating their children. Palpable tension that frustrates and confuses the child, more often than not causing them to just shut down and shrivel up.
i’m very, very confused at story 22, mainly the story beyond this point: 17:33 I have several mental issues, and i’ve always been anti-social at school. My mum is literally the best mum ever, and she is extremely cooperative with my issues.. but this mum.. what…. like.. god-dayum.. I have only my phycologist to help me with my trauma and stuff, and some teachers who are aware of my situation.
When I was in the 4th grade I had a 9th grade student knock me down into a mud hole and tear my new coat. I didn't tell any teachers or the principle. Instead I walked around to the front of the school where my big cousin and his buddies hung out. My big cousin was no saint and he wasn't a good student so he just didn't give a shit. We walked around the school, I pointed a finger and it went down. Bully was crying and apologizing and calling me sir. I still don't get the sir part. I guess he didn't want anymore of my cousin? 1969 life was different.

Y'know, the funniest part about parents fucking over their kids so they won't move away, is that their kids would often talk to and visit them MORE if they didn't do it.
First story: So the mom just ruined her daughter's life all because, she doesn't want her to live far away from her. What a helicopter mom.
it's probably fake tho
my nephew's mom is the same way...she has no custody of her kids and her daughter wants to go to school out of state (she's also not paying for her kid's college at all) and pretty much demanded her daughter go to school near her just because she wants her daughter nearby
@@paladinoestetica Maybe, but I've seen enough stuff in my personal life that I believe this could actually be true.
That’s not helicopter mom. That’s a disgusting person
she probably uses her kid as a maid so her going away means she wil no longer have a cook/babysitter/maid
that first story pissed me off, the mom basically ruined their daughters life for her own selfish needs, im glad i have a good mother that would support me instead of do that.
No, she literally ruined her life.
Honestly at the end of the story it started to sound like fiction, quite extreme... (Just to be clear I'm not saying I think it is, I'm saying that it sounds like something that would be in a story, unusual and honestly, unreal...)
@@eglol It could be fiction but before you poo poo it my mom was very similar and I met others. My mom refused to let me take ap courses or college courses my last year of high school despite being a top student (I was able to get into Ap Calc though) she would refuse to let me go to visit college or do the applications online so I had to sneak to the library and do them. She also threw out my w2s in an effort to prevent me from getting financial aid because she was pissed that I had decided to not commute to a college and now she had to take care of herself.
My parents are procrastinators about school and basically everything, so idk how to apply for school and I'm not allowed to get a job even tho I'm legally allowed to have one so :(
Same
Why did you make that long no 1's gonna read that
Bruh, that first one has me so mad. Imagine so selfish, that you intentionally make your kid fail so they never move out. I guess the daughter does have some blame since for whatever reason, she wouldn't do the work. But ultimately, it's her mom's fault since she likely needed help.
That school anxiety kid: it's worse than stupid, it'd make him worse even in other areas of life.
My grandma was a teacher and one of her neighbors didn't send their kids to school. She asked them why, they told her that they were just going to wait until the kids were old enough for college and send them then. 🤣

bruh, ik i was just making a joke, so chill out
That first story is heartbreaking. I know I was that difficult kid in school before that didn't turn in homework and my parents knew, and wanting the best for me, they pushed me to do it and turn it in. I could not imagine how betrayed I'd feel if one of my parents took advantage of my inaction so I'd never leave home. It wouldn't surprise me if the daughter moved out as soon as she could after that and cut contact with her mom, and if she wasn't surprised to find out about the divorce. Honestly if it were my kid I'd even help them move out if my partner were willing to set them up to fail like that for their own selfish desires.
I was one of those kids who's mom refused to acknowledge I was autistic. I didn't officially find out until I was 26 getting my son tested. By then it was too late for me lol
It's never too late. I found out I have autism at 23yo, and that helped me overcome many problems I had (some still need work) regarding society, college, job, et cetera.

Plot twist: he doesn’t have a front yard or a backyard
To the K-12 charter school teacher who visits the students from home. My daughter transferred from a private to a public school; and while things got better for her, she would have bouts where she just couldn’t go to school (or go enough to met the number of attendance days would allow her to get credit for the class). So she was often put on homebound status, with a teacher meeting with each of her teachers, collecting the assignments to be done and delivering them and picking them up to return, and acting as a conduit for communication.
If it weren’t for teachers like you, my daughter [who is now in her last semester of *college*] would never have been able to complete high school.
Thank you.
Couldn’t?

I actually had the reverse of this happen to me, where the dumb ones were the teachers. Back in middle school I would get frequent headaches, and add my loud classmates to the mix and I would spend of decent amount of time hold my head and groaning quietly from the pain. Well, while this was happening I was also going through puberty and my voice can get pretty deep, so apparently to my teachers, it sounded like I was growling at my classmates and instead of talking to me about it, they decided to have me eat lunch with the Special Ed kids. I was not happy and it took a few days for them to finally realize I wasn't mentally handicapped.
Special ed doesn’t necessarily mean handicapped.
@@mattm8596 No, these were like, going to need help with pretty much anything they're entire lives, Special Ed kids. Like the ones you see strapped to wheelchairs and drooling on themselves disabled. The teachers were comparing me to them.
Damn i would throw hands
@@adrestiaceaser3011 Oh, I didn't realize it was that kind of special ed, sorry you had to go through that. As someone who was in the higher-functioning sped program, I've had similar situations where I was put in meetings with lower-functioning students (like the ones you described), and it just did not feel right.
Before I went to middle school, I was thriving. I was at the top of my class especially for reading and writing and gotten awards. But when I reached middle school, they, immediately upon learning I was deaf, forced me into special ed. They treated me like I was absolutely stupid. They tried to teach me how to read, criticized everything I did, tried to assist me in the bathroom, had an aid follow me EVERYWHERE and tried to do stuff for me that I was very capable of doing, even following me to the carport after school and asking me over and over while pointing at each car, "Is that your mom? Is that your mom?" etc. Then refusing to let me leave when my mom arrived until she confirmed it was her. My self-esteem and confidence dropped like a rock. Especially when they started the gaslighting and lying and doing everything they could to prove I was stupid. The only thing I couldn't do was hear.
With some of these parents and the way they are, you have to wonder how the hell they managed to finish school. That is if they did.
School isn't a milestone, society will treat it like one... it isn't however.

A lot of these stories were actually really sad. I feel bad for these kids.
My friend’s mom taught elementary school, and she regularly had to have conversations with parents, fathers in particular, about not throwing away their daughter’s homework before she could complete it and turn it in. Apparently these men figured that their daughter’s only purpose was to get hitched and have babies, so learning the basics wasn’t necessary. It was really sad to think about.
UGH!!!!! I’d hate to live with a father with THAT attitude! Live, girls……there’s so much more to
life then marriage!!!! 😊

So that first story... On the one hand, to hell with the mother for putting her own wishes ahead of the daughter's best interests.
On the other hand, daughter refused to apply herself after multiple chances, didn't bother to try again to graduate, and went into criminal activity. Seriously doubt the Air Force Academy would have been the place for her anyway.
im just gonna say, if the mother was that bad at the start she probably caused her daughter to become depressed and thus she had a bad life
@@Ame.IsRain I agree. As one whose parents pulled the same BS, it messes with your head and takes a lot to get past.
parents usually don't act like parents.
parents are not people who have kids, the parents are people who can take care of their kids
parents: send their students to school;
also parents: wait wth they do actually learn stuff here?
17:22 I was a freshman and sophomore with intense school anxiety and this boils my blood.
So did my daughter, my sympathies.
My personal OBSERVATIONS in a simmilar situation to the first storry, some parents instead of creating an environment- where kids want to go back to, surround them with "dangers". It's a shortsighted strategy, becouse if the kid experiences life outside those fictional boundaries he doesn't want to go back, and sees parents as oppressors. Seen this from my own perspective and from a side too many times.
When I was 15 I was volunteering at a very small private K-12 inner city school where my mom worked for school credit so I could graduate faster. One day at recess there was a drive by shooting. My mom started screaming and ran past several kids, even knocking one over, to get inside the building. I stayed with the little kids to protect and help them. I ended up covering one with my own body until the bullets stopped. No one ended up getting hurt--no thanks to my mom. By the time the parents came to pick up their children she'd decided on a plan to deflect attention from her abject cowardice and flagrant dereliction of duty. She took the time to explain to the parents that even though I'd thrown a kid to the ground and had been lying on top of the child, it wasn't any kind of SA. She didn't think I could hear her because I wasn't in the room but I was in an adjoining room out of view so I heard everything. The parents and other teachers were absolutely shocked and disgusted with her that she'd even suggest that since it was so obvious from context what was going on and the response was basically asking her what the hell was wrong with her.
So uh, good job mom, you successfully managed to deflect the conversation from your personal failings to your disgusting and unnecessary personal attack on me, not for the first time. I ended up going no-contact with her.
I think that facing death is one of the circumstances that lays bare your true soul and brings out who you *really* are inside. It forces you to drop all the lies and facade you've built around yourself. I take great comfort in the fact that when that happened, I proved that I was a better person than my mom. No matter what lies she tells about me, no matter how she attacks me, no matter what emotional scars I have from her, nothing can change the fact that my truest self is a better person than she could ever be.

I had flat earth parents yell at me while I was in student teaching. They wanted to teach “both sides” of the issue. I laughed in their faces. I was officially reprimanded to check boxes, but the teacher and principal told me they would have done the same.
Story 14 reminded me of a mental disorder I read about once.
The basic gist is that people believe that someone they know was replaced with an identical doppelganger, likely with ill intent.
I find it really fascinating how the mind can just break in that way, where it seems plausible that anyone had the resources to just replace people for the sole purpose of f*cking with a random nobody, but I really hope she got the help she needs.
Capgrass Syndrome
Usually resultant from some kind of TBI
Me and 2 of my friends get this. For us and many others it’s the same as OCD (which is part of why I experience this) where we know it’s illogical and isn’t true. But we have this overwhelming anxiety pushing us to act accordingly as a just in case thing. There’s always this evil little “but what if” thought when it happens
It's still idiotic because she was trying to argue with the purported imposters who wouldn't have any interest in confirming her allegations either way. The better way to investigate is to instead alert someone outside the immediate group of supposed imposters.
Story #25 the mom was probably abused herself and was repeating what the boys father had said or he told her to say that. I was in an abusive relationship and my husband insisted on subpar parenting especially with his teachers. He told me to say things I knew were not true but thankfully I left him and we are divorced now and he doesn’t have our son

Story 14, i couldn't figure out if that was a joke post or if this lady was playing real life Among Us. I was waiting until everyone voted her off the ship
In the fist case, I was expecting to hear that the mother had said "She DOES her homework! She washes the dishes, folds the clothes when they're taken out of the dryer, and vacuums all the rooms, and any other homework I ask her to do."
My Mom kept me out of school for nearly 2 months in high school one year, because she was lonely. I waver between anger and pity.
@@veramae4098she had no right to do that! Your future is more important!
I am responding about the parent who did not want her child to be tested for autism. She might have been thinking that she did not want her child to be labeled. That might work out OK while they are attending grades pre k through 12, but in most states all students have the right to a free public education until their 22nd birthday. Without the testing it can be difficult to get them in to any program.
It's really not ok k-12 either. Getting "labeled" also means you get the help you need. You can't be given accommodations (including extra help geared towards specific learning disabilities) if you don't have something that says you need them. I wish I'd been diagnosed with ADHD as a kid instead of as an adult so I could have learned coping strategies when I was younger before I came up with my own, less effective, ways of coping with it. A grown ass adult, both my parents are dead, and I just found out this year that I have ADHD and the more I learn about it, the more I say "oh, that's why I do that."
right!
The story of the mom bursting into a testing room also probably negates the tests of every student in that room.
Bruh I wanted to watch this video, but the first story had me seeing red hot rage. You didn't just stop your kid from moving away, you literally ruined her life. There's a reason I've suffered from chronic homelessness and have struggled to hold and keep a job. My parents had an extensive history of drug abuse and alcoholism and I was forced to drop our of school to work and make sure my 3 other siblings were fed and taken care of, and eventually got split up by CS and I haven't seen any of them in 7 years. At least the next eldest sibling, my sister, is in college now studying nursing so she can care for the elderly, and my other 2 siblings are being well taken cared off. But I received the brunt force of the effects of their drug abuse, and haven't been able to make a life for myself since. I'm making this post on family day (its a holiday were i live, where people celebrate and spend time with family) on an empty stomach
Sorry that your was hard. But don't be harder on yourself. Make it better, something to live for. Fill your stomach and be proud. You did good. Much love and hug.
Wishing you lots of energy and that you are seen by someone in your area and find a way to a safe and happier life.

Story 5. The moms in denial and I understand. When I was born my mom and dad knew immediately that something was different about me. At first I was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder untill I was in my teens when I was diagnosed autistic. When my aunt had her baby and he was way behind for the first couple of years I said maybe he has autism like me. She got mad but didn't show it because she's nice. I was right on the money. A year later he was diagnosed autistic at age 3 1/2. She's told me she got mad because no parent want to be told their child will have a tough time. But she says she happy i said that or they might have not made the move to get him diagnosed so soon. Honestly I'm so happy that kids can be diagnosed so early now. My cousin will have the proper help and care he needs for his whole life
Edit: of course this dosent excuse the parents behavior but I can understand
The first one kinda made me tear up. That student probably had big dreams and really knew what they wanted to do, but the selfish parents literally ruined any chance she had at getting to those dreams.
Story 14 mom probably has Capgras Delusion. I hope she recovers.
Other people in the comments, actually taking about the stories.
Me: “Who in the hell cuts grass like that!”
YES!!!
I am dying watching this person attempt to mow a fucking lawn. It's the opposite of watching the soothing videos of people mowing real lawns! Lol
They need to lower throttle and empty their grass bags.
I worked with kids aged 1-3 years. There was a fair amount of children with autistic behaviors. I encountered two types of parents: (1) in total denial regarding the child’s behavior (2) parents wanted the autistic diagnosis so they could get a check from the state
These stories remind me despite how lackluster my parents are
I love all the same and how right they raised me
I had to pause after the first story. I wasn't allowed to go off to college, only a community college. My 2nd oldest sister told my mom that girls only go to college so that they can sleep with people and get pregnant with multiple children and she believed it. My mom didn't graduate high school at all and she's beyond an idiot. She also has the handwriting of a first grader and you have to talk to her in the most simplest of vocabulary. My mother beat me until the age of 20. I was severely sheltered, I wasn't taught anything but I'm shocked I did graduate with my class. I remember failing 2 courses in high school because that same sister told my mom that my courses were on witchcraft (it was Algebra and Chemistry smh). I used to have to sneak and do my homework for those classes. I was forced to rip all of my college applications and acceptance letters in the kitchen or the beatings wouldn't stop. My dad didn't even know this was going on but he figured it out later. Fast forward, yes I'm somewhat slow in the blooming department as an adult but dad's been dead for over 10 years and it's just mama and I at home and I'm the one she relies on. Mama didn't really change until I got sick with a diseased gallbladder at 24 and dad's cancer got worse at the same exact time. Her having to deal with two sick people shook her up a bit. I'm finally gonna be finishing my bachelors at the end of this year in my 30s, and I can FINALLY.....FINALLY FINALLY!.....go to Berklee College of Music next year, which is what I was trying to do back in 2004. It was a tie between NYU and Berklee. Sad that it took me years to get there but I'm finally going. I wish parents stop doing this to their children. It's absolutely heartbreaking.
My best friend's cousin has really debilitating dyslexia, and she wasn't able to get help for it until college because her parents were extremely strict and absolutely refused to believe their daughter had a learning disability. They didn't even believe dyslexia was a thing. So she was illiterate for most of her childhood. And if that wasn't bad enough for her, the family immigrated from Bosnia when she was little, so she couldn't read in either language. So double the work.
I’m so sorry…..how sad and debilitating for that young girl!
Watching you mow that little lawn in that amount of time is actually frustating^^
It is lawn mowing simulator the physics are slightly janky
4:20 My mother had much the same reaction. Guidance counselor tells her that I might have ADHD and I should be checked and that I was suicidal. She just flipped out on him and refused to allow me to see him anymore. He was right on both accounts and all she did was take a resource that gave me the slightest bit of relief away from me.

"Are you calling my Mom a liar?"
I actually had a boss once, who looked a lady dead in the eye and said, "Yes ma'am, I am" when asked if she was calling her a liar.
My father was the Principal of a High School. The parent who made the biggest impression on him in his long career was the mother who stood up in a PTA meeting to complain that the school cafeteria had had the nerve to serve her Little Prince the heel of a loaf of bread,
I wonder if Story 10’s student was intentionally failing to spite his mother.
Its stories like these that make me think teachers are unseen heroes, I couldn't imagine having to de with people like this on a regular basis
Unless you've been one, you'll never really know. And even the stories don't do it justice. Some days end in a mind-numbing, stunned silence. And weeping -- often weeping. I've seen my own daughter and her co-workers literally brought to tears by clueless and insensitive cretans, both administration and parents alike.
Anyone else watching this, and want to throttle the person driving the lawn mower? LOL
10:45 This shows that this mother has not recieved any training in how to conduct investigations. If you suspect someone isn't who they claim to be, don't tip them off to your suspicions.
The first story is so fucked up imagine being so selfish that you want your child to fails that they won’t have a successful future just because you can’t stand the thought of letting go of them. That mother ruined her daughter’s life. It’s a good thing that the dad divorced her.
Say it with me.
Autism is not a disease.
Autistic kids are not stupid.
They can care, they can love
They can thrive in the world like anyone else.
Having autism doesn't mean your broken. It means you see the world differently. Parents, don't let your child suffer because of misinformation about autism. The doctor diagnosed me at 6 and said I would be a burden. I would never learn, love, graduate, and my parents would forever take care of me. I am now graduating, I have had relationships, I can love, and I can care. I have my own apartment with 2 very cute cats.. I am not a robot. I just don't function well in high stress or loud areas. Just give me time to adjust.
No, some are stupid. It's not a superpower or anything u should want. I've literally met an autistic man who couldn't understand that he shouldn't be m**sturbating in public
As someone who was diagnosed today, god that doctor's an asshole, great that your doing all well.
Depends on where they are on the spectrum
factss
Mom can't control her three year old. Uhhhh, that is her excuse to NOT do anything.
Best story is teacher who wanted to have kid held back because theu would ensure that the kid would get the needed extra help the following year. Teacher, of course, was not even around next year because they moved out of state, but I'm sure they would have stuck around had the student been held back.
My son could read before kindergarten, the teacher started calling him her little Einstein. At the 1st parent/teacher conference the teacher told me that our son was not making friends. I asked her if she had any idea why, she said no, I then asked do you think it has anything to do with you calling him your little Einstein. I was not out to embarrassed the teacher but she turned beet red, I then told her to stop singling him out. The next conference I asked if his friend group had improved, and she was happy to say yes. It was cute at first that my son was being called le but it was causing other students to keep away from him because the teacher treated him differently. We made surprise visits to his class just to monitor him, he had many friends and was doing much better in school.
"My daughter didn't cheat I did!" 😂😂
Story 18 😂😂😂😂 how they got quiet when the teacher told the parents he knew they was growing weed at home is priceless
The one with the girl faking seizures when her mum becomes too overbearing, is worrying. It could lead to her receiving inappropriate medication for a medical condition she doesn’t have. Also, she could have seizure disorder or similar on her medical records and find it hard to shake it.
How about the teacher encourage the family to get professional help to improve their relationship.
#22 if the kid doesn't have to do anything, then why is he there ?
Numbers, kids failing out of school makes a school look bad, and funding often depends on the number of students in a school.
So even if kids don't show up, can't read or write etc. It still makes the most sense for the school to do everything they can to get them to graduate.
Story 14: Looks like that parent plays too much among us😂
Who ever is playing the game in the background has never mowed a lawn in they’re entire life.
Working as a substitute teacher, I once overheard a Mom tell her son (who happened to be an abominable, disciplinary problem) that he" didn't have to listen to those people (the faculty and staff), they weren't his parents. He only had to listen to her.
YIKES! Is all I can say!
Who is driving that mower? It's driving me nuts.
The lawn mowing graphics are killing me. Like who mows like that?
Amen and hallelujah. 🤣
The one with the dad in jail makes me so mad because she literally said he abusive to her and then she moves out of state with him like why not divorce and move out of state where he won’t find her
These stories sound like every day of my like as a teacher.
Okay, I think we all learned something today.
Never, EVER, hire the narrator to mow your lawn.
Oh my god the first one is despicable! Imagine ruining your child's life just to hover over them-
I understand maybe not wanting your child to be in the military, but in doing what that mom did, she likely ruined her relationship with her
First one is rather sad. Why would a parent want his or her child to fail?
Because some people consider kids to be their property, not human beings.

I was held back and had to repeat grade 3. Part of the way through that year we moved for my dad's work. I was bullied soooo badly in NY for being a year older than everyone. I see the parents' view, but the teacher was right.

I had a student whos parents came to parent teachers conference high and reeking of weed. Explained a lot about that students behavior in retrospect.
I remember, so vividly, two lasses from my public school. They seemed to HATE each other, constantly arguing and glaring. One of them was a constant nail biter, and sometimes asked me if she could borrow the squishy toy I used to stim; I did. She was really nervous, and I couldn’t tell why. One parent teacher community thing was going on one night, I was there with my parents. I saw the two girls and their parents. Their parents were really snobby, dismissive and couldn’t stand one another. I kind of wrote it off as “oh, they picked it up from their folks, makes sense.” That all changed a couple of months later. I was staying behind for office hours, and went to use the john. I was a paranoid kid, so I just as wary of any noises I didn’t recognize. Then, I heard some noises from the broom closet, which was unlocked (janitors sometimes lost their keys. I was actually prone to finding them, lol, since I liked shiny things). Curious and scared, I grabbed a heavy book from my pack, and threw the door open, book over my head. I guess I was expecting see someone getting murdered or something, I dunno, but instead it was the two girls. Not doing anything wrong, just sitting in the closet, playing on their phones and kinda cuddling. The girl I was familiar with begged me not to tell the teachers, and me, being the shit stirrer I am, asked “what the fuck are you doing in a broom closet”. Then, they both spilled the beans. Turns out they used to go to the same Catholic private school, and they developed crushes on each other. When the teachers found out… rulers got involved, and the two girls changed schools. After a couple of bounces, they ended up in the same public school. They fought publicly cause they were terrified of any teachers outing them to their parents, or worse stuff happening if other kids found out. I was openly asexual (since most people didn’t know what that meant i didn’t get much grief), so I think that’s one of the reasons one of the girls kind of wandered over to me. They begged me not to say anything, and I vowed to not tell a soul. I moved schools two years later… I really wish I knew what happened to them. I hope they’re ok, cause no one deserves to have to hide who they are, let alone fight who they love, to avoid the homophobia of their parents, especially when thinking all teachers had eyes on them. It’s bloody horrible.
17:10 That is not where I thought that was going.
I was expecting the "tattoos" to be severely inappropriate, but I think what actually happened is even funnier.
Wife was a teacher's aid in first grade and had a student who's homework was Obviously being done by her grandmother. And when asked, the grandmother denied it. So the teacher would send double homework back for both child and grandmother. Was told by the principle.
I've had enough dumb-parent experiences to make me retire from teaching for good.
That has to be the oddest game I've ever seen footage of - an entire game of just operating a ride-on lawnmower. Shame it doesn't manifest itself as actually mowing your lawn.
Edit: Is this game supposedly set in the UK? 15:16 British Telecom Phone box other side of the hedge.
In all honesty, WHO TF LOVES MOWING LAWNS SO MUCH THAT THAT THEY MAKE A CAME OUT OF IT, *AND WHO TF IS PLAYING THAT GAME BY CHOICE?*
it’s supposed to be “oddly satisfying” or something ig. it isn’t.
I got an award at school from a teacher during assembly that said “ looks the busiest by doing the least” which didn’t make sense because I had the highest grades in my age group. My m9m laughed with everyone at the assembly but once we got home I was in trouble.
I'm sorry but the way you were playing the grass cutting game was killing me
10:44 The word "myself" is used as a reflexive (I'd rather do it myself) or as an intensive (I, myself, have seen this happen). It is not to be used as a substitute for the word "me".
loving the video so far but i cannot help but notice..how can you be bad at a lawnmower game lol. anyone else noticing it xD
lol, I wasn't watching. Now I'm just wondering why there is a lawnmower game. He's probably not overly concerned with his lawnmower game ranking.
@@Primalxbeast i would not choose to play games like that but i feel like my brain would force me to be super clean with it lol, lawnmower sim speedrun here i come
It is driving me CRAZY. How can someone be this terrible at mowing a damn lawn?!
15:39 That one was really sad. her son was doing what he needed to, but was prevented by his mother.
21:50 He sounds like a sociopath.
Story 10, where the kid fails pre-calculus and wants to be an engineer cuz his dad is an engineer. There's a problem already if he's taking pre-cacl in college. He's starting off behind.
I had a similar situation with a parent of a student come to the professor complaining that his subject was too hard. That she understood that class before and now she couldn’t even do it now. The parent came in person and complained about it. She’s like 23 and the class was chemistry. Practically everyone understood since they did the practice problems. He was in a bad mood after that day
#5 certainly hit home for me. I was not upset about finding out that I was diagnosed with autism as a child. FINALLY a lot of the difficulties I had had as a teenager and as an adult made sense, as they were related to someone who has autism. What I was upset about was that NO ONE told me ~ for 45+ YEARS!
Our daughter was an elementary school teacher for many years. Of all the stories about parent interaction, the two "buckets" that sadden us the most are (1) the parents that are completely delusional about their child's abilities and struggles, particularly the ones that are most likely to be 'on the spectrum' and could use all the help they can get (the stories about "I absolutely will not get my kid tested - they're perfectly fine" ring so, so true).
And (2) the parents that are polar opposites of one another in terms of their philosophy towards raising and educating their children. Palpable tension that frustrates and confuses the child, more often than not causing them to just shut down and shrivel up.
i’m very, very confused at story 22, mainly the story beyond this point: 17:33
I have several mental issues, and i’ve always been anti-social at school. My mum is literally the best mum ever, and she is extremely cooperative with my issues.. but this mum.. what…. like.. god-dayum..
I have only my phycologist to help me with my trauma and stuff, and some teachers who are aware of my situation.
bro, that first story is really fucked up. The mom actively contributed to her daughter's downfall.
When I was in the 4th grade I had a 9th grade student knock me down into a mud hole and tear my new coat. I didn't tell any teachers or the principle. Instead I walked around to the front of the school where my big cousin and his buddies hung out. My big cousin was no saint and he wasn't a good student so he just didn't give a shit. We walked around the school, I pointed a finger and it went down.
Bully was crying and apologizing and calling me sir. I still don't get the sir part. I guess he didn't want anymore of my cousin? 1969 life was different.
