Not every kid's family life is like in The Brady Bunch. Some children grow up with pretty messed up people for parents. Research shows that 63.9% of U.S. adults report having at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) – a potentially traumatic event.

But social media has made it easier for adolescents and adult children to share their childhood traumas and take comfort in the fact that they have many brothers and sisters of similar fates. This time, we have a compilation just for them – the moments when toxic parents acted particularly infuriatingly.

So, those who grew up in a healthy family might want to go kiss their mom and dad for some extra appreciation after going through this list!

I Cooked A Thanksgiving Meal From Scratch For My Family And No One Ate It

Thanksgiving dinner with mashed potatoes, roasted turkey, and stuffing on a decorated table.

My mom and sibling decided at the last minute to eat at someone else's house. My dad brought his own food to eat for himself. At least my cat appreciates the turkey.

    Showing Up Late To A Planned Dinner

    Text conversation showing an entitled family member delaying plans and responding apologetically.

    My parents are notorious for showing up late. If a party is at 3, you can expect them at 4:30. We had dinner plans at 5 p.m. today, and it’s 7:39 p.m. and they are still not here. I want to pack everything up and tell them not to come over.

    My Mom Took A Bite Of My Birthday Cake That I Bought For Myself

    Slices of cake with strawberries, showcasing an example of entitled demands from delusional family members.

    Yesterday was my birthday, and to celebrate it, I bought two slices of cake after work to enjoy, but because it was late, I put it in the fridge to eat later. I was a little stressed recently, so when I got off work today, I felt happy because I was about to enjoy some cake that I hadn't had in a while. However, when I opened the fridge, I saw that my mom took a bite out of them. Yes, she knew it was my birthday yesterday. No, I don't think she cared.
    I might be a little overreacting, but I'm feeling more than a little upset over it. I know it's not a big deal, but it's just the principle of the thing, you know? My mood was immediately shattered.
    Just to add the day of my birthday, she asked me to take her out for dinner. I think she's mixing up whose birthday it was.

    This is stupid. I’m not on my phone all day, while my sister is on it almost 24/7. Every evening, she is on a call with her friend for like 5 hours, and my parents don’t say anything about it. But if I’m on my bed for 5 minutes on my phone, I get yelled at.

    C*****d smartphone screen held in hand, illustrating entitled demands.

    For some context, we have a rule in my house where my phone has to be upstairs plugged in at all times, and today I forgot to plug it in and had it in my pocket in my room. She came down, told me to give it to her, and threw it on the ground as hard as she could. I'm 19. She says if I don't follow the rules, I can live on the streets.

    My Dad Sanded My Car's Hood Without Telling Me

    A car in a garage with a worn, scratched hood, reflecting delusional demands from an entitled family member.

    My car did have some rust spots on the hood, I own the car and was looking into places to get my hood repaired. My dad said he would paint it himself a week ago, and I said NO very clearly. He is not trained in car repair, has no experience, and has no equipment. Today he stole my car keys and decided to sand it down without letting me know. Now I have to get the entire hood repainted.
