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

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 stopped me mid-sentence and said he wanted to punch me in the face and set me on fire for using the word "selfie". 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

Seriously..? This is why I don't have Instagram, I don't give a crap what food pre-teens are eating or what their cat looks like.. That's just disrespectful any way, whether he was praying or just talking to her, that's her grandfather.

I don't really see why he freaked out when it takes less than a second to snap a picture.

Your sister was wrong for instagramming during prayer

Can't blame her, seeing as prayer is one of the most useless activities ever.

Why would someone Instagram food? That seems very odd.

Do you know what Instagram is?

Do you remember when you used to have to take a picture of your dinner with a disposable camera, then go get the film developed, and then go around to your friends/acquaintances houses to show them said pictures? Yeah, me neither. That's basically Instagram.

I'm sorry, but I don't feel that enough emphasis can be put on the fact that your daughter could not wait one or two darn minutes to take a shot of her plate while someone was making a deeply spiritual and (at least to them) hugely important speech. Seriously. I'm not even that worried about the instagram in and of itself, just the fact that she was so disrespectful that she wouldn't even wait one freakin minute to take the darn photo as to not disrupt someone's religious practices. Now, as for your father. I agree with #50. The point of religion is that it's supposed to help make you a better person, not shout at other people who don't follow your views exactly. Both were wrong.
