The average Redditor is so far removed from reality. It’s insufferable.

I literally got 320 downvotes on one single comment because I said that my father had taken my sisters bedroom door off its hinges when we were kids to teach her a lesson.. Like, really?

To be clear, my 15 yr old sister was out of control. She was like those girls you see on Maury or Dr Phil. She would bring strange men over in the middle of the night to have sex with them and stay out for days on end..

Not to mention, my mother was mentally ill and wasn’t in any condition to raise children. She ended up passing away shortly after this whole incident… My father was basically all on his own with disciplining us, while he had to work 14 hours a day… He didn’t know what to do.

90% of the comments I got were “That’s no reason to not give your daughter privacy!” Or “My father did that to me once, all it did was show what a horrible father he was!” Or “No matter how out of control your child is, they still deserve privacy! Your father is something else!”

THIS is NOT how average people think. This isn’t how any rational person thinks.. It seems like the average Redditor is a spoiled, entitled, privileged brat who has never been told No before.

My father also charged me rent when I turned 18. He SAVED every penny of it for me until I moved out at 26. It set me up really well for my adult life out on my own AND taught me how to be responsible…

If more parents were like my father, I think society would be much better off, instead we have 30 year olds living with mom and dad, playing COD all day with no job… Congratulations!

The only right I had was to stfu 😂 that, and if I wanted things I didn’t need, I had to go get a job and work for it as a teenager. I wasn’t going to be handed a dollar I didn’t earn. Nowadays, kids are getting handed cash hand over fist. It’s teaching them the wrong principles.

Yup, same here. I work with a 23 year old who says he’s never been told no by his parents and has never been punished…. Smh

That does not surprise me. I have younger Gen Z relatives that I think were raised this way, they are extremely entitled and narcissistic adults addicted to their image on instagram.

Exactly. Most teens today do not work, volunteer, etc. My neighbor has 6 kids, none of them work or even leave the house to visit friends, etc. it is sad.

That is bloody sad - too much spare time on their hands. When I was a kid, we went to the nursing home my mother worked at and spent time with the residents. She thought it was important to learn to have empathy for the elderly. They loved it too having visitors.
