they made me respect my elders.
say yes ma'am and no ma'am and yes sir and no sir.
they made me behave in public.
they spanked me if I didn't behave in public.
oh yes they were truly evil!
...and yet you still put your feet on the furniture

How have you survived in adult life?0 -
My mom used to beat me with wooden spoons and the metal end of the belt. She ran out of wooden spoons my sophomore year of HS.0

My parents rented the movie "It" when I was a little kid. I snuck out to the top of the stairway and watched some of it (It was a perfect view of the living room tv.). Of course I thought it was terribly scary. I thought I was smooth, and slipped back in bed. Didn't think my parents noticed I had been up there watching. I woke up in the middle of the night to see a clown head "floating" by my bedside. Then the walkie talkies in my room crackled to life in the darkness saying "Come down here where everything floats" in a creepy voice. I was TERRIFIED.
My dad had crawled under my bed while I was asleep...I had this bank that looked like a clown, and to get the money out you had to take the head off. He had taken the head off, stuck it on the end of a pencil and was "floating" it next to the bed in the dark.
I never, ever snuck out to my "hiding spot" to watch movies after bedtime again. I'm also still terrified of clowns.0 -

haha only when I am at work!0 -
Mine abused me horribly!!! They made me:
- Play outside with sports equipment
- Learn to ride my bicycle without a helmet
- Learn how to lose
- make my own lunch and breakfast
- ride my bike to school until I could drive
- stay outside until the street lights came on
- invent ways to play football and baseball in the street
- drink from the hose
- actually take care of the dogs they got for us
- mow the lawn
- help when dad worked on his truck (get wrenches and hold the light)
- keep my mouth shut when the adults were talking
- spanked my *kitten*, just like they promised if I broke a rule - no meaningless threats
I'll never forgive them for the abuse!!!

My mom used to blindfold us and spin us around until we got dizzy then send us off walking through the house crashing into each other and stuff! Looking back it was probably dangerous, but my sister and I would do it over and over laughing our heads off!0

When I was 10, I had really long hair - way past my rear. I was always bothering my mom to brush it and braid it for me. Finally she gave me an ultimatum - either cut my hair or get my ears pierced (yeah I didn't understand the logic either). I loved my long hair so I went with getting my ears pierced - which I hated. Anyway, about a week later she took me to get my hair "trimmed" and told the hairdresser to cut it all off. It was so short - about chin length - and all the kids made fun of the four-eyed fat girl with the "boy" haircut. I don't think I ever forgave my mom for that - God rest her soul.0

I think the saddest part is that you were still getting beat your sophomore year in high school.0 -

Haha - my folks did this to me and my brother but with a variation. They'd spin us at different ends of a field and then each would let us go - our goal was to run towards each other, impossible but funny!0 -

Too many to recount, but here's one... we were a large family with a small income so she sewed much of our clothing. Everyone knew the Andrews kids were related - we had matching outfits. But hey, I rocked those red denim bell bottomed hip huggers!
My sister and I had matching dresses, and my mom had ones to match too. She just bought as much of what ever fabric was on sale and sewed us all an outfit. I dread when she pulls out the picture albums!
Oh Snap! There were seven of us kids, and one year for Xmas my mom dressed us in maroon, crushed velvet matching outfits. The boys had bellbottoms and vests, the girls had vests and HOTPANTS! The outfits were completed with matching ruffled shirts for all...we looked like the Partridge Family...hey it was the seventies, but what was she smoking??!!0 -
My mom is psycho too she has ruined plenty of my birthdays by trying to make them all about her or getting mad over stupid things. The night before my 15th birthday my mom asked if I wanted to watch a movie with her on the couch and I said no thanks and the next day on my birthday she ignored me the whole day because she said I was an ungrateful brat. For my 21st she wouldn't let me go to Vegas without her so she went but then made it all about her, when we were at a club I picked something off her dress and she smacked me in the face and said I'm always criticizing her.... Really? And she did a few other things that ruined my Vegas trip. She's a total psycho.0

I was a hellion. I was failing 8th grade because I cared more about boys and my friends. I disrupted every class I was in (class clown). So, my dad decided to come to school with me for an ENTIRE DAY. He sat in every single class with me and sat with me at lunch. I was humiliated. The teachers loved it!0

This is too funny. My maiden name was Andrews and my mom made alot of our clothes, our doll clothes and even our barbie doll clothes. We were the Andrews Sisters (4 of us)! Fantastic smock with matching bell bottoms along with the poncho! Then there was the body suit and bell bottom white hip huggers... I was a "cool cat" in that outfit! LOL!!!!!!0 -
My husband's name is MaTThew. However, until he was 12 years old, he thought his name was Adam; for some bizarre reason they called the poor child Adam and it was not part of his full name at all. When he went in the military, they questioned a lot of his transcripts because they all referenced Adam West, who oddly enough is Batman, lmao!
In fact, his brother, Ray, was Buddy and my husband was Adam and any time you reference either of them by their real name, their parents look confused.0 -
The absolute worst that i can think of right now was when I was hmmm...in grade 2 so probably 7 yrs old. My Father had this mark on his leg, it was big and red and had 2 big holes in it. I still don't know to this day exactly what it was, I think it was maybe a boil? I saw it and asked him what it was and he proceeded to tell me that he was shot in the leg by a bow and arrow years ago and this was the scar. Sooooo...we start to learn about the native Americans in school and I raise my hand in class and the teacher calls on me. I proceed to tell the entire class that my Father was shot in the leg by an Indian with a bow and arrow. My teacher looked a little shocked and asked me how old my Father was. lol I told her i didn't know how old he was and she asks if he's still alive! I said "Yeah" I was confused by her questions but let it slide. My Dad led me to believe this until I was 18yrs old! we were sitting down with the family and I told this story to them. Well, they laughed and laughed and THEN told me it was not true! Jerks...0

Oh gosh, I thought I had problems with a missing T.
In a similar story my Dad's best friend thought his name was John Kelly all his life - until he saw his birth certificate and his drunken father had registered his surname twice. John's real name was Kelly Kelly LOL0 -

My parents did lots of horrible things...
Once we were watching a Friday the 13th marathon and she had my huge biker neighbor break in and grab the butcher knife in the kitchen.... All I could see was the reflection of someone with a knife in the mirror my brothers and sisters and I were terrified!0 -
She'd hear music in a store and *gasp* start dancing. In Public!!! And...she'd talk to strangers. Like have a conversation with people she didn't know.
I'm scarred for life...and I do these same things. It's like a curse or something...
Horrible, horrid, horrific.
Replace your Mom with my Dad and the dancing with karaoke...i am slowly becoming him.0 -
My dad made me read the encyclopedia everyday while on summer break! !

OMG my brother and I had matching red plaid bell bottoms...yay (NOT) for the 70s...lol...0 -
Are we brothers, because that sure sounded like my Dad.When my pops worked on his car he would make me hold the flashlight. You know what I learned.....I can't hold a flashlight. All my dad did was yell at me "You're doing it wrong put the light over here" then he'd hit the back of my head and say "Pay attention pendejo"..........................GOD I f*cking hate flashlights!!!0 -

Every time my grand ma would make matching dresses and bonnets for me and my sister who is 4 yrs younger than me my mother would make us dress up and take us to Kmart to get our pictures taken.
Imagine a 5'7" 8th grader having to go it public with her 10 yr old sister in matching strawberry shortcake dresses and bonnets.0 -
