I got in the most trouble with my parents when I...

JohnT · January 26, 2003, 00:08

had an orange fight with a couple of friends... inside my home. We go to sleep and my father comes home from his date and yells, "WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED HERE?!?!?!?!?!?"

I also had the brilliant idea of throwing huge clumps of mud at the side of our freshly painted house. I can't remember his reaction, which meant it must have been pretty damned horrible as I have obviously blocked it from my memory. I do recall learning that cleaning and painting my house sucked.

What's the one thing y'all did that pissed off the 'rents the most? You get bonus points if it doesn't involve alcohol.

When I was 7 I stayed home sick alone one day (would that even be possible these days?), and I had fun playing with candles. The next day I was ok, but faked illness to stay home and play with the candles some more. Well, needless to say, I was careless and:

1) Lit a kerosene lamp that was set so high it scorched the kitchen ceiling

2) left a large candle burning and forgot about it, so the wax melted all down the side of the entertainment center and onto the living room rug.

3) left another small candle burning on the top bookcase shelf that scorched the top of the bookcase.

When I realized the magnitude of what I had done, I went upstairs, into the attic (the door of which was off my bedroom), and crawled inside a large box to hide. I dozed off, and the next thing I knew, my dad was picking me up out of the box.

It all went downhill from there...

Had fun with the credit cards... 'Nuff said

Sava - C'mon, you gotta give us a dollar amount!

Oh, I did that, too. I used mom's card to order all those coins from the Franklin Mint. That was another time I made mum and dad very unhappy...

Sava · January 26, 2003, 00:18

it was in the thousands...

JohnT · January 26, 2003, 00:19

4 figures or 5... or 6????

Sava · January 26, 2003, 00:20

4,

... almost 5 though...

Besides breaking some furniture nothing really big... well nothing that they ever found out about

Sava · January 26, 2003, 00:25

actually, in high school, my parents once told me the worst thing I could ever do was get a girl pregnant...

Your producing any offspring is indeed a horrifying prospect.

Stop making fun of the breeders, Boris.

My mom has pulled out knives on me and chased me out the apartment because of things like I forget to wash a fork that was left in the sink... it was part of a plot by me to spite her...

Today in fact, she asked my sister to put the milk in the refrigerator but my sister was in another room so i said i'll get it and went to put the milk away when she slapped my hand grabbed a knife and told me to not pretend i'm my sister

thanks

JohnT · January 26, 2003, 00:46

you're welcome

Al B. Sure! · January 26, 2003, 01:02

basically i do very little wrong especially compared to you sinners and i get kicked out my home, assaulted, etc. Why do I got to have a two foot wide hole in the wall next to my matress from a fight with my step-father? Why I got to get kicked out and be wandering around in my building and streets for entire days? Why I got to be praying my mom don't slit my throat while I sleep? Why I got to go through this while you ****ing crackers commit great sins and are let off with nothing?!

****ing *******s

You might want to think about leaving home then Speers, and SOON!

Seeker · January 26, 2003, 01:11

I lived in the way way back bush country.

I had a very long walk to the nearest bus, and a very long ride after that.

I was about 9, and I missed my bus, my dad was very mad.

The very next day, I missed my bus again....so I tried to hitchhike/walk...because you don't want to make my dad unhappy. Because if he's unhappy, YOU'RE unhappy.

Luckily I was picked up by the school principal, I got to the school at 12:00, and I'd walked a very long way, which I was used to back then.

She insisted on driving me back to my dad right away instead of letting me stay and ride the bus, no matter what I said.

I watched her face as we left the paved roads, then the telephone poles, finally left the official roads and maps and entered Wonderland.

My dad was VERY angry that I had brought a government outsider in, no matter what I said, that was one of his most paranoid phases, so I got The Belt.

Lancer · January 26, 2003, 01:13

Sounds like you have it tough Speer. Being in such a family is like being in prison for a crime you didn't commit. You'll get out eventually and have the rest of your life to try to get right. Good luck.

JohnT · January 26, 2003, 01:17

ignore speer, this is a common threadjack.

thanks

When I was 2 I decided that I needed to put sunscreen on. I didn't want to miss a spot, so my clothes got covered with it too. And the floor, and the walls.

Lancer · January 26, 2003, 01:17

Seeker, the belt sucks but the yardstick was worse...until my dad finally broke it over me. Yup, that yardstick couldn't measure up.

Al B. Sure! · January 26, 2003, 01:17

Loif:

I'm a senior in high school... the worst is behind me and i'll be out in June (the day after my graduation day though my mom has made it clear she wishes she could get rid of me sooner).

Social services came in November but I basically lied and said **** wasn't that bad because i figured there was no need in my mom being arrested or whatever when I'm almost out.

So I'm cool but I'm ticked off that people never experienced what I experienced growing up... they lived in thier mansions with the big green yards and their loving fathers and mothers in that ungrateful leftist land known as suburbia.

Lancer · January 26, 2003, 01:20

Speer, so you're mad at normal people because they have it better eh? Watch that anger guy, don't pass it on where it doesn't belong. You might have a family one day...

Sava · January 26, 2003, 01:21

ungrateful leftist land known as suburbia? that's the most retarded thing I've heard today... suburbia is the bastion of the Republican party....

Al B. Sure! · January 26, 2003, 01:23

Lancer:

thanks for your support. I've always thought you're a good man.

You ever get the buckle of a belt though? what was the worst for me was these wooden soled shoes my mom had kind of like clogs... those things f-ed you up, especially getting them against your arms or back (your ass got too much fat on it to block the blows so my mom didn't like to strike that area too much).

Al B. Sure! · January 26, 2003, 01:26

Lancer:

A lot of people I know have experienced the same or something similiar... broken homes is the norm here...

I would never harm my children though. I hope to, at least in my blood-line, end the cycle of broken homes... even my grandfather was an abusive drunk.

thanks

Lancer · January 26, 2003, 01:27

No, never got the buckle...hang in there Speer. When you leave kick off the dust of the place and never look back.

Loif · January 26, 2003, 01:33

That sucks that you've had such a horrible upbringing. Why did you lie to social services though? They could have helped you out.

Al B. Sure! · January 26, 2003, 01:39

Lancer:

actually the buckle aint even as bad as it sounds. I mean being hit by a metal thing seems like it would be real painful but the leather cracks of a belt stay with a tingling pain for a little while that the buckle don't really got. Then again, since I was 15 or so, I stopped getting the belt (because of one time where i actually restrained my mom and she apparently realized she could only use knives from then on), so I might not remember how they felt too good.

Loif:

Well I'm almost out so it's alright. I figured that it scared my mom enough that she would calm the violence which it did do... it didn't stop from referring to me with her 'pet-name' of ******* though. but it's cool. i can deal with words

thanks

Seeker · January 26, 2003, 01:42

I've erased 2 posts I wrote, because I don't won't to list all my ****, there really isn't any point, I made a thread about it a long time ago and I've had psychologists and ****.

But I know that I will never have a son. Our family has something bad in our blood.
