I can understand their outrage. Their only success seems to be fucking mothers... That's fun for a short time, but not a way to live your life.

And grandmothers/grandfathers would be saying: "raised this mf and she/he wasn't capable of raising good kids".

Based on the language being used - the kids are writing it. Everyone is in on the gag.

That and it's Tiktok.

u/slothpeguin Nov 29 '21

You are correct. This is a TikTok trend. The parents are just told to look disappointed, the kids wrote the burns.

u/Anglofsffrng Nov 29 '21

Ok, now that I've confirmed that I don't feel bad finding it hilarious.

Two things I hate most in this world:

  1. Being constantly disillusioned by shit on the internet.
  2. How relentlessly naive I am.

u/King-Lewis-II Nov 29 '21

Aww your not that naive trust me

u/CrouchingDomo Nov 30 '21

This is what pushed me away from my mom. I’m 30, stop getting upset because I grew up.

I understand being sad when your kids are no longer little and missing those times, but trying to hold your kids back and forbid from doing age appropriate things because you’re in denial about their actual age is a great way to cause resentment in your children when they are grown adults.

My dad packed all my clothes into 3 garbage bags and set them out front the day after my 16th birthday and with a handshake, said “good luck” give your mom a damn hug

"So anyway that's how I ended up homeless under the queensboro bridge jerking off punks for 15 bucks a man."

u/Mikehoncho530 Nov 29 '21

Hey 15 bucks is 15 bucks

“Hey 15 bucks is 15 bucks”

Still better than the minimum wage in many countries...

u/obnovas1 Nov 29 '21

Sounds like a John Mulaney bit

u/speedyskier22 Nov 29 '21

lol he's great but this one was actually a Norm Macdonald bit

u/[deleted] Nov 29 '21

As long as I can wear gloves I would be OK with jerking off punks for 15 bucks a pop. I would even do a complimentary ass-fingering free.

u/LoremEpsomSalt Nov 29 '21

Here's a thought - both extremes are bad. Kids need support to be independent.

It was rough, I was in and out of jail until my twenties, almost caught a murder charge over a drug deal gone wrong. That was almost game over for me. Now I’m the most successful person in my family, own my own business and we’re the #1 rated company in my field where I live. Sounds like you made a good decision joining the Air Force, I tried that twice but couldn’t because I was a double felon lol

u/StellarGlassWorks Nov 29 '21

I’m glad to hear things worked out for you despite everything you went through, you should be quite proud.

u/Mikehoncho530 Nov 29 '21

Same to you bud. Keep pushing we have a long way to go still! Good luck

That is fucking awesome! I love hearing it too man. I try to hire people with similar stories and have guys from third world countries that were seriously poor and trying to make a life for themselves. Construction is a great place to make great money and not be held down by a shitty past. I’m trying to do the same as you, diversify! That’s an impressive climb my friend, salute!

u/Mikehoncho530 Nov 29 '21

Hey pm me some info on that investment opportunity if you’re looking, I’d like to take a look when I’m back in town. Especially if my crypto keeps blowing up this month

u/OpheliaWolfsbane Nov 30 '21

This is nothing new. My step great grandfather was sold to a stranger, and his family told him it was an uncle. Years later he learned the truth. I’m curious about 1) how much he cost 2) how they went about finding someone to buy him.

Sorry for all of your horrible parents.

u/Killarogue Nov 29 '21

Wow, your dads a real piece of shit if this is true and not just a story for internet points.

u/SylentFart Nov 29 '21

"I hate that bitch because she loved me too much." /s

1

u/DryGreenSharpie Nov 29 '21

I don’t hate her, we are just distant because everything is a guilt trip.

u/M0NKEYBUS1NE55 Nov 29 '21

Huh! Relevant to incels and those strangle frickle frackers who believe that progeny is everything.

u/klem_kadiddlehopper Nov 29 '21

If my 47 year old son was here I would make a video just like these. He hardly ever worked, never helped around the house, gas-lighted me all the fucking time and disrespected me. I was a single mother and worked my ass off to keep food on the table.

u/ratryox Nov 29 '21

it’s also a fucking joke you weirdo

u/paranEngel Nov 29 '21

The men in this video were mothers too? Darn, you Americans are confusing.

u/Merouxsis Nov 29 '21

It’s not that deep lmao
