It kinda hurts to hear that something so simple as telling them to stop can save your parents' marriage/lives. Feels Bad Man.
MrNintendoJr
I know no one will care but reading this made me think about my mother differently. I need to tell her I love her. She deserves better of me
BardicLasher
I'm told the reason I never heard my mother swear growing up is because my older brother started cursing at two, so she made herself stop.

I love that in this crummy world, there can be kindness and love so deep it brings feels across the internet.

I made a bet (jokingly) when I was 9 with my dad that he wouldn't be able to stop chewing tobacco for 2 weeks. Hasn't chewed tobacco since.
de4nge1o
I'm 18 by the way, so yeah. Pretty long time.
yuraf
I lived in USSR, when I was 9, it collapsed. Within a year, I looked in the fridge to only see butter and asked dad, "What's for dinner?"
yuraf
He quit being a lab assistant and went into selling clothes. He got completely grey hair by 40. Then he got fat, I asked if he was wearing

a fanny pack. He wasn't. He returned to xc skiing. 13 years later, last year he did 10-60km races, wins medals in his age group.
goingcrazy
When my brother was little he got spanked a lot, one day he told my dad he didn't mind the spankings but just don't use his toys (hot wheels

Tracks) and that moment my dad decided spanking wasn't the solution. He's still a shitty dad though.

When I was 3, my dad had an accident that involved his nose getting chopped off. They reattatched it, and he spent 4 months in hospital. 1/

I didn't like hospitals, so I only spoke to my dad over the phone. When he finally got out, his nose was a lot shorter and he still had 2/

Cigarette smoke REALLY bothers me. I've passed out before in Vegas. At 4 y/o I apparently told my mom her smoking was killing me. 1/2
Oban
2/2 and it made her realized it really was, and so my father and her quit right then. Now second hand bothers her almost as much as me.

i made my dad a paper weight when i was one for his birthday. It was a rock with glitter and paint. He still uses it to this day.

mikeatike
I wonder if oomp1214 and I went to the same summer camp. The one talk was about "all non christians go to hell" someone asked "well what if
mikeatike
its like those non-contacted people in the Amazon or something." Reply: "Still go to hell, everyone knows it in their heart and if you dont
mikeatike
recognize it you go to hell." Most of the kids were not having this, and when we split into small groups a different adult said "well maybe
mikeatike
it isnt like that at all." That is when I realized that nobody in the religion could agree on anything, and I started to think for myself.
mikeatike
It wasn't until many years later that I became an atheist, but I like to think that this was the first time I could remember being skeptical

15/26 is hitting me like a ton of bricks right now. I've got to make more time for my 2 year old son.

What are these from? My parents passed when I was in high school and these made me happy to read. I'd like more.

It was one of those clickbait websites that show up on facebook, and you have to clic "next" a million times to get through each story (1/2)

I'd imagine if you searched Reddit you'd find plenty. That's usually the source for those things
whatbuttondoipush
My older sister and me would hide her cigs and cut them up. We guilted her into quiting. Her best friend smoked, so it must have been rough.

"Her" D'oh, I meant my mom

1. I had a similar church experience as a child. I was maybe 5-6? I was in the Sparks club or whatever it's called. Our dog had just had

2. puppies and they all died. I told the pastor I was sad, but it was ok because they all went to heaven. His response was to tell me that

3. they were going to heaven, they were going to rot in the ground because animals don't have souls. Five fucking years old....

My mom worked a lot and when I was 4 I told her I had a dream where there was 2 of her and I had to pick out the real one. 1/2

And I knew which one was the fake because she said that she had time to play with me and my real mommy never had time to play. 2/2

cobyjack
I'm confused about the bleeding on the blanket and that causing the parents to get divorced. Why did the dad think that meant sex?
secretmanwhodrinksatwork
And he has a teenager in the house. Just asked them once, good enough, must have been the wife, I'm getting a divorce then.
cobyjack
That's seems like a big jump, makes me believe it's made up.
Natsumori
Or dad was just looking for an excuse in the first place
harleyquinn30
Yeah, that one is totally weird. This blanket is covered in virginity blood and the parents accuse each other? WTF?
elfTastic
Also menstrual blood, and fluids leaked during sex tend to have a distinctive shape.
MegaDrink
Some women can bleed during rough sex. If he knows his wife like that, but he wasn't the one doing it ... I can understand his mentality
nattfilm
It's not common at all, to come to the conclusion that is from sex is super weird.
Flyndaran
But it wouldn't remotely smell like her or anyone of the right age bracket. Unless he's a smoker or anosmiac he would've known.
MegaDrink
But they tried washing it ... and who smells stuff like that??
Flyndaran
You don't try. Noses just work.

Apparently my dad used to drink A LOT when we were kids. Beer during the day, liquor at night. Sometimes sipped beer while driving. 1/

I didn't remember that, but I do remember taking a sip of (unbeknownst to me) spiked orange juice that he left by the couch when I was 5. 2/

I even added ice to my milk to mirror my father. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized he was drinking white russians. 3/

As I grew older I noticed he stopped drinking liquor and would buy much less beer. Decreasing his intake to 3 beers/week. My older sister 4/

GamerGrillKyuu
I'm pretty sure my mom is being scammed into selling sketchy health products. She's stubborn as hell and my father and I have tried 1/3
GamerGrillKyuu
everything to convince her but to no avail. My sister doesn't want to upset her and remains neutral, but my mom won't budge at all. 2/3
GamerGrillKyuu
She's completely convinced in its legitimacy. Neither me nor my dad are often home anymore due to uni and work. I need some advice... 3/3
AllTheseYearsWrestlingGators
Would she be convinced by watching a video or documentary? Like, John Oliver did a segment on multilevel marketing that might be informative
ForALimitedTimeOnly
What is she selling?
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
Would hide my moms cigs and ask her to quit. Get in trouble and yelled at. Parents argued all the time, when I was little I'd ask them to-
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
Stop. One day my dad yells at me "that shit ain't cute anymore!! Knock it off!!"

DickbagMcDicksucker
I'm sorry
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
I'm slightly jealous of people close to their parents. I hope you have a lovely relationship with yours! :)
DickbagMcDicksucker
I do, thanks. If they're not willing to be close to you, they're not worth being close to
MyCatLikesToFruitcake
It's weird. I know my parents love me in their own way but just can't raise kids worth a crap. They won't travel to see their grandsonthough

Thanks for the good vibes good stranger. I guess i didn't get it at first because English is not my language. Have a nice day :)
