Oversensitive parent much? Kids criticise parents. and tbh, that wasn’t that harsh. That was more a ‘…wow this really sucks.”
Don’t you just love being a teenager and finding out your parents are still five years old and have never heard the words “time out?”
That’s too bad. The kid actually had a valid complaint.
Yeah, but we’ve all been there. it builds character and teaches teens about priorities.
Indeed. And if one is smart, one becomes wise enough to deprioritize people who demand respect without giving any. Hopefully next time they asked her to cancel something to babysit, she told them to pound sand until compensation is offered.
This person is officially a c*ck juggling thunder c*nt.
And Facebook makes another angst girl cry, I approve!
Epic parent win.
The child had every right to criticize the parent but didn’t learn as a child not to take matters like that to the public. That should be between the child and parent, talk to your parents don’t cry about their decisions and remember you, more than likely, are equally irresponsible as the person who raised you.
Trust me, some parents will not allow a child to talk anything out. For them it’s “Because I’m the parent and you’ll do what I say” all the time.
Psh. If you’re parents are doing something wrong you deserve the right to criticize them, and since 99% of the time they don’t give a fuck, you have the right to find people who do. =/
Parenting fail. Why are kids so discouraged from criticizing their parents in public? Hell, my parents do it all the damned time.
I hope that mom was being sarcastic. Otherwise, I agree–parenting fail. Double fail for making the older child take care of their kid and then being inconsiderate with her time.
Yeah, making older kids learn to be responsible and care about their siblings is way uncool. How dare they!
And having the lesson taught that familial obligations should trump what you plan on doing with your friends. The audacity!
Her parents should’ve asked her if she had plans first. Kids are not slaves.
Dumping younger siblings on your kid at the last second is not teaching responsibility. If it’s teaching the kid anything, it’s that her parents don’t even respect her enough to give her advance notice or let her keep her plans and find an alternate babysitter.
VZG has it right.
The thing is a parenting fail more than anything. Yeah, there is such thing as teaching responsibility, however, if that fail, if it happened the way it did, is true, the mother is in the absolute wrong, no two ways around it.
Maybe the parents need someone to teach them a “life-lesson” or two and realize that they actually aren’t the most important person in the world. I’m sorry to inform you, but just because she is young and is not a legal adult, does not mean she does not have thought, reasoning or emotion. She is actually a human being, and being the elder of your children, will probably end up with the decision what to do with you when you grow up to be incompetent. Remember there are both sides, and maybe you would want to check to see how exactly you treated your children when they had no choice but to listen so that maybe you don’t find yourself in a nursing home in Timbuktu, with no friends or family to visit. Sounds like a real fun way to end your life.
Spoken like someone who has never been a parent but only a child. Yes she was being sarcastic, her daughter’s sarcasm drips in her post so it seems the apple and the tree are fairly close. I was one of 5 kids, I haven’t imploded by the injustices of my childhood and neither will she. As I tell and told all my sons: “Got a problem with my ruling? The stepladder is in the garage, use it to GET OVER IT.”
Children are human beings. They deserve to be ASKED before hand if they have plans. It’s one thing to tell them they can’t go out until they finish their homework or something. Quite another to dump something on them then change your mind at the last minute. The mom is 100% in the wrong. Period.
Do any of you know why the parent needed the older child to babysit at the very last moment?
Even in the fantasy world of “successful parenting”, there are these things called emergencies, which may or may not have happened here.
All we really see is a kid whinging in public about something not going perfectly, and the parent making a note about how they do not have to provide cellphones and computers to the kid.
Frankly, if my child were making a spectacle of herself in public like that, I’d remind her that cellphones and internet isn’t a right too. Want to be treated like an adult… act like an adult.
It obviously was NOT an emergency if the parents canceled their plans
it was not last minute and obviously not an emergency. And the girl wasn’t whining her head off. she was just like, ugh, slight blower and waste of my time. she didn’t go overboard like “My parents SUCK ASS” and the mom was being a bit sensitive. Personally if my daughter dropped plans to babysit and my original reason was nulled i wouldve still gone since she went through the trouble of cancelling her plans for her mother
You’re an idiot. Please don’t breed. This world already has enough stupid kids and apparently, you’re one of them.
That last one was for Jami. Sorry Devis.
wow , the ignorance and liberalism of both your comments is amazing! Children are human –true i will give ya that one but by no means does the “child” have entitlement or equality in the home. Did mom ask the child to pay rent,utilities? Did the child ask and get permission EVERYTIME they got into the refrigerator for food or drinks ? The parents in normal households are still incharge.The households where the child is a equal …………….well we have all seen how that story goes.They end up feeling like the world owes them and get offended anytime they start a job at less than the manager level. Ill bet you go down and protest that injustice with them too dont ya Jami?
Maybe this lady needs to learn how to take their kids feelings into account rather then treating them as something ‘less’. Parents who do tend to raise successful kids, parents who don’t, tend to raise kids that fail at life as bad as they do.
You should be friends with your parents on FB!
Really? I thought it was just teaching us the life-lesson that when you’re friends with your parents, you should watch what you say.
Similar to the lesson taught by those that bad-mouth their boss that they’ve friended, or those that call out from work sick, then post that they went to the beach, forgetting they’re friends with their boss (that one happened to my brother-in-law!)
Oh noes, my child said something bad about me to her friends online! I’ll give her something to really be upset about! This won’t come back at me in later years AT ALL.
Trust me, when you restrict your child like that, it WILL come back to you. Especially when that wasn’t even necessarily a complaint directed at her parents — it’s just a sucky situation.
Mom’s probably going to be so confused when her daughter’s not friends with her — on Facebook or otherwise — in the future.
I think this clearly proves teenagers form a majority of the Internet. Otherwise we wouldn’t see so much crying about Some dumb kid being caught b!tching about someone.
If you have a problem with your parents, take it to them first, before going all passive aggressive sarcastic whiny about it in a place where you know your parents will see it sooner or later.
If you can’t take care of your own children to an extent that you have to ask them to take care of each other, give them away.
Wow, you people are made of failure.
Life sucks, and the brat will reap what she sows.
95% would’ve stopped the fight
Props BJ Diego’s heart by not getting stopped in the first 30 seconds was unbelieveable
BJ doesnt have anything to prove
rashad wrestling? looks like he’s trying to make a statement
Since when is it so wrong to insist that children respect their parents? What she said WAS disrespectful and we have no idea what kind of dynamic this family has. Maybe the girl is a raging brat who never does anything but hang out with her friends.
It’s nothing new also for parents to expect older children to help out with younger children, (ya’know, it takes a village and all) Familial responsibility.
Teens forget too often that their parents feed and clothe and shelter them and ask for relatively little in return, it won’t kill a child to help out or give back a little.
That could be considered as well. If she is a raging brat who does nothing but hang out with friends, and has no responsibility, yes, that would put that in a different light, but it if was nothing more than the daughter saying “it stunk that I was told I had to do something, I had to cancel plans, and then told I didn’t have to do anything”, then the parent is in the full wrong for going in full dictator mode.
We don’t know all the dynamics of this situation.Maybe the parents were waiting for a call back from one of their regular sitters and in the interim turned to the daughter to help.
Obviously the parents got sitter coverage and then told the child they were released.Rather than go try to salvage what they could of their plans they chose to bash their parents in a public internet forum.
Silly when one’s parents are on facebook and your friend list.Did she think they wouldn’t see it and take action?
When I was in high school and got mouthy and disrespectful with my parents I got the back of my fathers hand.
Remarkably enough I didn’t put them in a senior citizen warehouse when their health failed either.
Whats important at 15 doesn’t seem important at 20 or even 17.
True, there could of been a situation where plans could of been salvaged, as most all of us know, we really don’t know the full story behind this. It could be that the mother is nothing more than a total dictator, it could be the daughter is nothing more than a brat who doesn’t know how good she has it, or there could be middle ground.
Honestly, how can a parent or anyone for that matter be so self indulgent that they feel that their time and airspace is more valuable than anything else in the world. I don’t see any problem with them ASKING the child to help watch after the kids, but if said child had previous engagements then maybe wouldn’t it be considerate to try and find supervision elsewhere. This person had all right to feel the way she did. Yet, this parent still feels she is the greatest gift this world ever received and decides to enforce her authority or being “publicly criticized” on Facebook. If I recall reading the update correctly, she never complained once about being asked to babysit, nor did she have any bickering about not being able to go out to her own engagement, but was just upset at the fact that she had canceled when in the end she would have been able to attend her teenage rendezvous.
There are a lot of teenagers on this website aren’t there?
Not necessarly, but one also has to put themselves into one’s shoes, or think of their younger years as well.
Welcome to the real world mother of that child.
That kind of thing happens all the time at school on a much higher scale. Most of her friends probably think you are the most horrible person alive, which is why I don’t say those kinds of things at school.
ITT: Clearly-defined split between younger and older readers.
Haha, I was just thinking that! You can tell just by the comments who the teenagers are reading this, and who the adults are reading this.
(but, ya know, just as a random side note, I’m a teenager, and I call this an angst FAIL/parenting WIN
)
I have both my teens friended on FB; I would never slap either one down in public like that. Then again, I wouldn’t dump babysitting duties on them like that at the last minute either. My girls don’t sass me because I treat them like human beings.
I think a lot of parents forget that respect has to go both ways; you can’t expect your children to have respect for you if you have none for them.
Arkady FTW
Arkady, absolutely correct. Yes, as a kid, you must give respect to elders, but that should not mean the elders shouldn’t respect kids as well, otherwise, everything will just go to hell.
i want to like this 10x
and thats why you do not friend your parents on FB
haha get owned dude!!
Epic epic win
Parents are extremely annoying sometimes…and then you call them on it and they make abig deal out of it…It’s stuff other people would NOT put up with!
You can’t give respect if you don’t get respect: can’t give something you didn’t get. Judging from the picture, the mother gives barely any respect to her daughter, so the daughter can barely give any respect back.
Some parents come with the excuse “you shelter them, feed them, etcetera”. But think of it this way: you chose to get the child, the child did not have a choice in the matter while you DID choose. So it’s only fair you take care of the child with nothing asked in return, until the child is both at a sufficient age and advancement in life to take care of his/her self. Don’t give birth to children to let them do favors to you (as one of many reasons): that’s selfish, YOU’RE the selfish one, not the child. As the child had no choice in the matter, but you had that choice right when you wanted a child.
Plus I mean, if those parents end up broke and need to be taken care of- who is going to be sheltering, feeding, and wiping the sh*t off their butts? The extremely expensive managed care their kids are paying for or the kids themselves? Funny how sickly, aging, helpless people are even harder to work with than kids! So those parents get to wail and say “We did all this!” but what do the kids get to say when their senile mother is throwing feces at them? “Duck, brother!” That’s what they say.
Parenting fail.
Never accept your parents on facebook. Seriously.
why is everyone gettin all serious’d about this, raise your kids the way you want to, deal with aftermath later…… and besides… lol internet
I’m 31, not a ‘bratty kid’… Anyway, my friend linked me to this, and I don’t really see where the teen ‘bashed’ her parents. She was complaining about the situation. She didn’t say anything negative about her parents. The mom came off kinda childish with the response, imo.
I don’t recommend being Facebook friends with your teenager or with your parents if you are a teen, lol. I see way too much embarrassing stuff as it is on there. I don’t want a window into your home, and neither do you, lol.
wow i know this person 0_0
You guys are all dumb. I actually know these people and she is a good child and the mom is a good mom. This did not have permission to be put on here
Criticize in ‘pubic’???
