Declanium is a sorry excuse for a mother.

I’m calling bullshit trollery on the whole fucking scenario.

Do you have cites? Or did you just make that up?

Nope.
It’s a real situation

The first drug most people start using is caffeine. Next is alcohol.

Soooo, no cites then?

Although the subject of the pitting stands out for her particularly ridiculous and infuriating line in the sand, there are millions of other parents kicking their kids to the curb as we speak, for other sins even more naive, harmless, or even, inescapable (like sexual orientation). My own sister could not accept that her son was, despite her unending nagging, untidy, overweight, and would never be a doctor (he is a well-liked and well-paid EMT) . It was appalling to listen to her. Although she didn’t kick him out, he left home as soon as he could.

Horrible parents are common. I have read that 40% of American children are ‘detached’ from their care givers i.e. show clinical signs of poor parenting. We are just seeing an egregious example here.

Yeah, but is your whole thread? It is so over the top, you are such a spectacularly bad mother that I really want to believe your a troll and maybe sock for some banned troll or other. Please in the interest of preserving what shred of hope I have for humanity, admit that this is all a performance and you are not in fact the worst mother in the world.

And all those alcoholics that ruin lives of those around them. Fuck White Claw.

Interesting posting history. Signed up in late 2015, made a few posts into 2016 mostly on medical and psychological issues, then nothing for over three years until the thread referenced here. In one of those old threads she speculates about how her family could get along without her if she died.

I have no idea what all that means. At one point in the current thread she claims to be surprised that other posters question her venting on the SD, as if she was an old regular here.

Maybe one of the boys discovered Mom’s login ID and is having some fun. If so, congrats kid on channeling a crazy mom.

She sounds like an absolute loon. Dug herself into a position, head up her ass, and refuses to budge. To lose now and admit being wrong would be worse than being thought a terrible mother and a shit excuse for a human being. She needs therapy and Valium. On the second thought, just the Valium. Talking to her is a waste of everyone’s time.

Idiot or troll or both, doesn’t really matter. People could expend hours finding cites and putting together cogent refutations of her moronic POV and get back nothing but “NuhUH POOPYPANTS” in return. If there are actual teenaged kids being emotionally abused by their cluelessly obnoxious mom there is not one damned thing anyone on a message board can do about it and the situation will play out as it plays out. In the meantime, I have actual people with actual problems and concerns and things to share I can interact with so why spend my time and attention on a worthless, clueless asshole of a moron?

Sounds like her world view is that it’s all about her

Probably started with milk. Just about everybody who ever became a drug addict first used milk.

Hate to say this, but even if Declanium is a troll, that wouldn’t make her the worst mother in the world. She apparently hasn’t beaten or burned the kids to death yet, or tied them up in the basement and left them to starve in their own piss.

A terrible mother, yes; but, sad but true, a run-of-the-mill sort of terrible. If you’re trolling, Declanium, try harder.

Wait until the put a scratch in the car.

Meth>weed. (As in “worse than.”)

Kix Cereal is the real starter…

Remember Fruit Loops? Direct line to mainlining heroin.

Now that you’re here I can finally say what I’ve been wanting to.

If you’re serious, fuck you for putting your own neurotic bullshit above love for your kids. My two weren’t perfect by any stretch. There were times they did something so stupid, I wanted to strangle them. There were times I blew up and overreacted, and times when they did at me and their father. But after some time to cool off, we always made it work because we love each other.

Every problem has a solution if you want to work for it. Even for big stuff like being a bully (daughter), or stealing credit cards (son), or drinking out in the woods with your buddies and blowing shit up with M80’s (son again), or sneaking out of the house after bedtime and taking the car with only a leaner’s permit to go to a party with a bunch of college kids that got broken up by the police (daughter again).

The flipside was that they knew they could come to us if they had trouble and while we might get mad at them for breaking a rule or doing something wrong, making sure they were safe and OK would matter more.

They are now adults with college degrees and good jobs. They’ve both got good common sense and don’t drink much, or party, or steal, or blow stuff up. The stupid shit they did as teens didn’t affect them for the rest of their lives any more than the stupid shit I did as a teen affected me.

And if you’re trolling, fuck you, troll.

Yeah, I could deal with all of the other teenage stuff - but not drugs. They knew from an early age that was my Achilles heel. Sex, taking the car, all easier than drugs.

Well that’s a matter of perspective, innit?
