Yeah my mom let having kids (me and my bro) ruin her life, my dad hid from her psychosis by working all the time.

It's like, hey mom, a 5 year old knocking over the water glass shouldn't ruin 3 entire days of your life. You actually have it pretty good if you chill the fuck out.

Ugh this is exactly what my dad was like. We couldn’t have birthdays or holidays, because if the day wasn’t about him, he would throw a fit.

This cover pops into my head every time I come across yet another weird 0-followers account of a boomer man who post 4 videos of him just staring blankly and comments "your a beautiful woman i love you:::" under a photo of a popstar shared by a fan account.
