Kids and Social Media: Tetchy

Tetchy

Today, my extremely religious father visited for a family dinner. My daughter had just one job: not to set him off on one of his easily-provoked rants. She nonetheless decided to take a photo in the middle of prayer, because she just HAD to Instagram her food. My father went apeshit. FML

Today, my dad has discovered selfies and my mom has discovered taking pictures of food. Now I'm at a restaurant, suffering through it all and not being able to eat anything until my mom has taken pictures of it. FML

Reminder

By Sigh - 13/09/2009 12:42 - Australia

Today, I went to visit my parents. Dad went on a religious tirade, and Mum got sick of him and pelted a Brazil nut at his head. Dad then lost his shit, and told Mum to go to her room and pray. I now remember why I moved out of home in the first place. FML

Awkward much?

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents over lunch. Unfortunately, I showed my dad her Facebook profile beforehand and he wouldn't stop making cracks about her duckfacing. It started with, "Don't let her eat the bread, it'll puff up in her stomach and kill her", and ended in tears. FML

Today, my religious parents were hosting a family dinner. Not only did we have to wait over an hour for my grandma to finally show up, but when she did, she had her 30 year old boytoy in tow. Apparently, "Granny has needs too you know, hahaha!" Goodbye peaceful family. FML

Today, while having dinner with my girlfriend's very religious parents, her mother called me a heathen and said she'd convert me one day. She wasn't kidding. FML

Edgy atheist era

By going Old Testament on his ass - 01/07/2024 08:00 - United States - New York

Today, my son announced he was leaving our religion. I told him that, as sad I was, that I accepted and loved him. He seemed disappointed, and I noticed him discreetly fiddling with a camera. A little snooping led me to his Reddit account, where he called us all, "inbred, illiterate, bible-thumpers." FML

Trolling for soup

Today, my boyfriend and I went to my parents' barbecue. He knew my family is extremely religious, so what did he do? Called for silence to make an announcement, namely: "God isn't real." Cue a riot that ended in us being kicked out and me all but disowned for "putting him up to it". FML

Today, my dad came home after collecting donations for construction of the temple of Lord Rama, who is known for qualities like patience. Within 5 minutes, he started yelling at my sister. FML

Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML

Who cares what food she is eating? She should have been spending quality time with your family and not whipped out her phone. Sorry but she deserved it, you didn't. FYL

She's a legend for doing the same annoying shit that almost every teen does during meals?

Your life sucks. She seriously couldn't wait until the prayer was over? What a brat, she deserved it.

He deserved it. People who go apeshit over tiny things that really don't matter at all are terrible. Besides, going ballistic like that shows an extreme lack of respect, in my opinion, and I only respect people who respect me in return. Respect, in my mind, is not something you can earn (or deserve) simply by being old. Though, if I were in her shoes, I would have gone about it in a more appropriate manner and just refused to share a table with him.

Your father is a nut bar. Tell him to calm the **** down. Religion shouldn't be forced down our throats like this. Jesus Christ.

Do children always have to break the rules?

Not all children break the rules. We all make mistakes and if you were to say you were a perfect child who always listened to your parents you would be lying.

Can I have the link to the YouTube video of the rant? I'm just assuming she probably did that too.

Hope she took a picture of your dad mid-rant and put that on instagram too.

I can totally see why he went apeshit. I'm sorry but food is for eating not for the Internet. Unless there is something REALLY special about the food like its one of those Cake Boss cakes, that was unnecessary.
