Now, some of us have heard our parents joke about how they’ll install security cameras in our rooms if we can’t behave ourselves. Well, that’s exactly what one Reddit user’s mother did. Fortunately, the internet user didn’t give in. They wrote online that they’re doing something about it: “I've got into the account she’s using for the camera and disabled playback and sound recording. I'm also trying to move the camera to a point where it doesn't actually see anything.”

“If you haven't done anything to provoke [putting up] cameras or helicopter parenting, then I'm pretty sure you can call CPS [Child Protective Services] and they will help,” the Redditor told Bored Panda some advice on what to do in situations like this one.

My Mom Is Putting Up Cameras In My Room Now

The Reddit user talked to Bored Panda about the unusual situation: “My mother is out quite a bit, so maybe that was the reason she put up the camera. Maybe she felt that she needed to watch me while she was out, but she never told me the exact reason.” They also said that they have “already confronted” their mother “with the argument that what she's doing is illegal and an invasion of privacy. So now I've taken them down and plan to keep taking the cameras down if she puts up more.”

When asked what the most insane stories about parents the moderator has come across, he replied that it’s “two cases of mothers giving their children bleach,” while “the proper authorities were alerted, given the information, and did nothing to stop it.”

We can understand why kids would be ashamed of their parents when they monitor them or ask for ridiculously large loans. But why is it that kids are embarrassed by their parents in general? Well, Fatherly writes that this embarrassment usually starts appearing between 9 and 13 years of age, right when a major shift in attitude occurs. As kids become more independent and try to figure out the ‘rules of the game’ in society, they reject what their parents stand for.

Meanwhile, Empowering Parents suggests that parents shouldn’t take things personally when kids act up and should give their offspring some space grow. And, whatever happens, we can all agree that setting up cameras in someone’s room should be avoided at all costs.

Ok, I'm going to step out here and I know a lot of people with get mad at this. I am Christian, and a strong believer. It is my life not just a faith.

You volunteer that time gladly, willingly, and of your own free will without any reservation. There is no negative for not doing so other than you may regret being so busy later (and...maybe not). There is only judgement shown here for one person being LOGICALLY unable or unwilling to donate their time. Acknowledge this and move on, a guilt trip like this person did is very un-christian like behavior.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

This is why I hate the whole "you should always respect/love your parents" idea. No. Some parents are complete a******s, there's nothing wrong with realizing that and acting accordingly. The basic process of creating a child really isn't that complicated to be considered this highly valued (the giving birth part sure but not that much). The taking care of for years is.

If there is anyone here, who is living with this kind of parental / adult behaviour, please know that this is THEIR F****D UP S**T!!!!!!!! Yes, you have to deal with it... but it is 1000000% their f****d up s**t. Having grown up (& successfully escaped) from this insanity, this is how I did it: saved money as soon as I could. Whether it be selling stuff, or working, saving pocket money / gift money (if ever it existed). I was too young to have my own private bank account, and no adult believed the hell I was going through. So, I HID THE MONEY (imagination can be a great resource). In the down-times (lunch time at school / when parents were out etc), I did research re: getting my own place. Turned 18. Got a job. Got a small, s****y s****y flat, within walking distance of my restaurant job.... and left with the basics. You only need eg jeans, 3-5 t-shirts, coat, sneakers, work shoes & work clothes (2 sets will allow you to survive). Furniture was a sleeping bag + floor.

.... PART 2.... you do NOT need a lot of furniture. You simply need to be warm, and able to eat (saucepan, frypan, bowl, plate, fork, knife, spoon, cutting board, cutting knife). THIS will enable you to GET OUT and create some real balance in your world. From there, I continued saving as much as possible (with a few hard life-lessons in there). With brilliant things like the internet etc, research, information, finding work, and selling stuff, is sooooo much easier than it was when I was in that situation. I wish you all the best. And hit me up if you have questions. Happy to pass on what I know, if it may help.

report them for identity theft. It's punishable by law. Once established, (depending on your laws), it is often possible for that debt to then be placed on them, and removed from your record. This is not the behaviour of a mother. This is the behaviour of an imbalance, narcissistic, ARSEHOLE. Your mother's behaviour is that of a selfish, (insert a slew of profanities), and is deserving of NO SYMPATHY. There is zero excuse for the abuse she inflicted on you. None.

Oh Erica Bea... I totally understand EXACTLY where you're coming from. Did the count-down myself too. Biggest tip I can give you (having learned the tough way, cos I was just so damn desperate to get out).... SAVE AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN NOW. Weekend / summer holiday jobs, pocket money, gift money, sell stuff.... KEEP IT ALL. You don't need much 'stuff' to get your freedom. A sleeping bag and pillow & a floor, is more liberating than a fancy bed. it will mean that you can get out faster... get freedom faster... get control faster. Kmart / Wallmart / Ikea, can be a brilliant way of setting yourself up with the essentials for cheap. Google can be an amazing resource re: costs, expectations, opportunities etc. If stuck, research "moving out of home for the first time" can be a great starting point. As someone who has walked that path before you: I wish you all the best.

As crazy as so much of this sounds... some of it sounds terribly... uhm... "familiar" - mostly the "you didn't do the thing I never told you to do? You're going to pay for that, you horrible ingrate!" - it's one of the (many) reasons I do not, will not have children. Also, another reason I feel so uncomfortable with the "Hollywood picket fence" notion that "you should do everything and anything for your parents regardless of any abuses". Also sick of being shamed by "friends" (who, by the way, all have supportive, loving and GOOD parents...) who tell me the same "But it's your MOM/DAD" -... yeeah.. it's my mom/dad that told me pretty much everyday of my life that I'm a horrible, life-ruining mistake... and also seriously considered fostering me because I dated a white guy... heeelllooo...?

4points

Pseudo Puppy 5 years ago

They say "but it's your mom / dad"... because THEIR mom / dad would never behave in the way your parents did. I got that kind of c**p ALL. THE. TIME. from friends who didn't want to believe that *any* parent would do what mine did. So often, I'd get "but nooooo... your mum wouldn't do that!!". Um, no love... YOUR mother would never do that; but mine did. Once I got smarter friends with the ability to empathise and think independently... the attempts by others to deny my experience, stopped. (I also use it as a litmus tests for new friends - if they harp on about / try to deny / try to shame me for my experience... they simply remain as "someone I know", and don't make it into the 'friend' circle). No-one should accept abuse, regardless of who inflicts it.

I can relate not to one, but... almost each of those stories :( And much more. I was beaten. Abused. Yelled at, called names, slapped in the face as early as age of seven. I had to do hores for 5-ppl family. Giving up every money I got to my mother. Giving up anything I felt attached to to my younger sibling "to learn how to share" or "because he deserves it more". I was A grade student, who escaped problems that way - by kearning more - not allowed to take part in any kind of additional courses or competitions apart of my normal lessons. I was forced into relationship!!!! I was thrown away from home the exact day I turned 18. Never spoke to any of them again. Still got questions about why I do so or being lectured that I should respect and contact my family no matter what. I have no contact with my blood relatives - none of them. And I must say it is the best decision of my whole life.

My mother used to tell me that she always wished for a girl so she was so excited when she found out she was expecting me. While giving birth to me, I apparently kicked her in the heart on my way out and ever since then I have been told what a horrible ungrateful kid I am (I am now 32). I broke contact with her and left for the last time 3 years ago. Last time I heard from her was almost 2 years ago when she sent me a message demanding that I pay for her vacation “or else”. She has always viewed me as an ATM, I have lost count of how much money she has taken from me since I was a kid. I have so many stories to match the ones in here, I could probably write a book about it. Leaving was one the hardest things in my life, but I knew I had to. I hope these “kids” will be able to move on from these parents to. It’s insanely hard and I still struggle with it, but I know I deserve better and she will never change.

yesterday i had a day off from work for which i planned to do a little excursion to a castle with my gf. my father texted me if i could be at home at 5.30 pm cause of some dude coming over to paint the ceiling in the bathroom. i answered that it wasn't possible, since i was not home and had 1 hour to come back. so what happened: he got mad at me, because he planned things while it wasn't even sure that he was home for that time. in other words it is my fault for not being at home at a day off while some dude has to paint our ceiling at a time when no one is home.

Control freaks, the lot of them. Some nerve, eh? I guarantee you every single one of them (not just the obviously nutty and irresponsible ones) has massive, massive personal responsibility and emotion regulation issues, among others, that they're not dealing with like adults, and are taking it out on their kids using religion and other b******t. No one needs to put up with this kind of gaslighting and abuse from ANYBODY, blood or no. #AskMeHowIKnow

This whole post made me feel sick. My parents are a pair of control freaks. Well, were. My "father" apparently died last year. My mother is unfortunately still alive. I'm probably a horcrux. When I stopped pandering to their every selfish whim, they turned my son against me.

My parents are great. A little unorthodox and veering into the overprotective side maybe but I always remind myself parents are just people too and they make mistakes. Now, some of these parents do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Good parents in my opinion respect their children's views, space, and lives. That does not mean being pushovers but treating your kids as much as you'd like to be treated. Parents are people too but so are kids.

Some of these commetments you can tell are written by people who do not have kids or are kids themselves. You can't have it both ways. You can't shame parents for not doing enough and then shame them when they do what you consider "too much". Until you have your own, stay in your lane.

I started reading these on reddit and then stopped. While I would agree that most of these are "insane", we also do not know the full context or story. I'm sure if we heard the parents' side of the story, it might be a little interesting.

I have insufficient words to express how much I agree!! The ability to procreate has nothing to do with a person's character. If they're toxic, their previous choice to procreate is irrelevant.
