Today, I was on Skype with a guy I really like, in the living room. My dad saw that I was on video chat, got undressed, right down to his bright green y-fronts, and then started dancing behind me. My crush saw it all. FML

Hahahaha, your dad is hilarious.

Time to start Skyping in your room. Unless he's into that kind of thing?

I'm a daughter too?? Hahahahah fail. I think it's genius.

I would say not to skype in the living room, but I modded this, and it originally said she was doing it in the living room because her parents didn't trust her.

yeah, idk if skype didn't do this at one time, but when I have my video up on skype I see a little picture of what the other person is doing, I don't get why she didn't see him undressing.

Why, oh why, do parents think it is fun and hilarious to humilate their children? I am so sorry, OP. I have been there and it is horrible. I can't count the opportunities I would have had that my parents threw away on me by acting like psychotic assholes, then laughing themselves sick that they were able to ruin yet another chance for me. If I spoke up, I was berated for my lack of sense of humor and the old, "don't worry, you'll have other chances." Really? How is that going to happen if you two keep drop-kicking them for a quick laugh? Idiots. OP's dad will wake up one day and wonder why she's still single and will be too stupid to see his culpability in that.

31, I never realized how hard life is for people with no sense of humor. Thanks for the enlightenment. I thought they did this to themselves voluntarily. I guess the rest of us should realize how important it is to pamper them through life so their unhappiness won't come back to haunt us.

Or maybe he'll be pleased that she didn't come running home pregnant at 15. I think there's a reason why she wasn't allow to do skype in some private are of the house. When she's old enough to have her own place, I'm sure she can skype in the nude and have all the action her little ass desires.

Parents debase their children in front of others in an effort to hold them back. A girl who has been humilated in front of her crush will shy away from him or him from her and she will not come home pregnant. Your parents humilated you, Bankrupt, to keep you at home and under their thumbs. They figured eventually you'd be so embarrassed you wouldn't leave the house. Your friends would think you came from a nut house and drop you and they'd have you right where they wanted you.

@bankrupt Everything in life teaches a lesson, and unless you actually learn from your experiences life will be a broken record for you. Quit crying, and learn how to count.

Personally I can understand being embarrassed, but I would lose interest in a guy that couldn't laugh it off. My mom is wacky and occasionally embarrassing, but she means more to me than any guy. Anytime my mom starts acting quirky, my boyfriend just chuckles and tells me, "your mom is weird." I guess it all just kind of depends on your outlook.

I like your mentality, 98. No guy in a girl's life should come before her family.

I fail to see how disliking public humilation equates to having no sense of humor. The point Bankrupt was making was how hurtful it is to have the rug pulled out from under you by someone who should want you to be happy. Kids who keep getting this crap from their parents eventually stop reaching for things they want because the fear of being publicly embarrassed by a parent becomes greater than the desire for whatever it is they wanted. Someone else said this and it's absolutely right; I am a daughter and I would hate my dad forever for this. Dads think they are "protecting" their daughters but they are really just slowing down the socialization process and making it harder for their daughters when they reach adulthood. If the dad continues to play the "keep all boys away" game, the OP won't have the dating experience her peers had and won't know how to "play the game" the way other women will. I know everyone hates Bankrupt but she is right, dads like this wonder why their older, adult daughters don't have husbands but do not see they contributed to that by trying to put off the process.

That's a ridiculous argument. If an adult daughter doesn't find a mate, it's her own damn fault for not overcoming her own issues. Plenty of people grow up with truly abusive parents-- and being silly to embarrass your daughter once, which is all we know from this FML, does NOT qualify as abuse. Those people are still fully able to develop happy, fulfilling relationships as an adult. I understand how difficult it can be to break cycles of thought engrained since childhood, but there comes a point when every adult needs to stop living as a victim and take responsibility for their own health and future.   I'm not trying to be a hardass here; I have a lot of empathy for those with truly difficult childhoods. bankrupt knows that about me. I had great parents, but still went through some pretty major crap in my life. I've lived what I'm saying here; I've done the work to change my own cycles of thought. If I can do it, anyone can. 

It was just an example, not an "every girl whose dad acts like an asshole in front of her crushes will end up an old maid with a dad who can't figure out how that happened" statement. Parents wonder why their kids turn out the way they do and don't see their role in that. A parent keeps boys away from his daughter, then she doesn't know the dating rituals. The parent can't figure out why his adult daughter doesn't have a dozen swains to choose from. It's because she's making "rookie" mistakes that the average 16-year-old would know better than to do. Eventually she catches up but thanks, parents, for making it so much harder than it had to be. It's usually about parents not wanting their kids to grow up or being so afraid that their kid will make a mistake they don't let them do anything at all. Most parents honestly don't start embarrassing their kids deliberately until the kids are older as a method of manipulation. "I can't tell my 17-year-old daughter that she's too young to go to her school dance since it's a supervised activity and I'll seem like a control freak, so I'll embarrass her in front of the boy she wants to go with so she'll be so humiliated she'll stay home." The parent gets what he wants; a daughter sitting home alone the night of the dance. No risk of pregancy, but also no opportunity to learn and grow. The lack of growth only becomes apparent when she's finally free and doesn't know what to do. The parent only sees that he got her through to adulthood without an unwanted pregancy and congratulates himself on the wonderful job he did, but doesn't see she is unprepared in other ways.

138, you assume much too much. So I can only deduce that the problem is with YOU.
