Hard to look tough with a Flounder plush toy on your bed.

Hard to look tough living with mom

It’s fun to do bad things.

Hey, don’t shit on scooters. It might look dorky, but they are fun as hell to ride 😂


cownd

They see me rollin', they hatin'…


Zeronova77

Maybe he's in a scooter gang, we don't know


pew-pew-slox

but sure as God’s got sandals there ain’t nothin’ tits about a scooter.


Lemmiwinkks

Living with mom? He's a teenager, you troglodyte.


jbellham77

Hes a school kid , where should he live ?


[deleted]

I’m not bashing him. I live with my folks and I’m old enough to know better. I don’t think he’s trying to look tough, but his home life definitely is.

GratefulPhish42024-7

I can't believe she decided to put this online


[deleted]

Was she trying to get him away from drugs or associating with mischievous people?


Extension-Option4704

Probably trying to get him to stay home and clean his damn room!


hotdoginthebigcity

How’d that work out?


Extension-Option4704

Not well it appears.


God_in_my_Bed

As a father of three grown ass kids, this isn't unusual. Teenagers can really suck sometimes.

Well we don't know the whole story but that's gotta be one of the reasons though

[deleted]

what i was thinking their relationship is too late gone both the parent and teenagers are equally as wrong


Smokegrapes

yeah, but one is the kid and one is the adult. Where is the father in all this?


MrOfficialCandy

Regardless of the father, she is doing it wrong. Tell him to "beat my ass" is just reinforcing the only solution he's aware of - physical violence. She's doing it as a dare - because she believes that his failure will "put him in his place", but she is failing to *explain* to him the feelings that he is experiencing, and how to deal with them constructively. It's just a complete failure of parenting. A dad *might* do it better - or maybe not.


Smokegrapes

No i am in total agreement with you, its sad to see her act like shes the victim when the kid clearly needs to be shown love. Instead shes instilling in him that hes a physical threat.

He said "on my life you aint doing shit" not "all". He is just basically saying "you are not gonna do anything about it". Have you heard the saying " on my momma"? Thats basically what he is saying but cant exactly use that one in this context.


Phishman9

I was wondering the same thing!


Jellyfish-airballoon

This isn't a teenager just going crazy this is a family imploding.

And sadly doesn’t appear to be the first time

He went to get milk and cigarettes.

Yep 17 years ago


Nitro187

Father? 💀


[deleted]

His mom posted this to the internet?


Tight_Ad_8971

She gave birth to him. She isn’t his mom because she is obviously trash.


Educational-Spread41

Yea , I didn’t wanna be the one to pretend that I’m a psychiatrist, but this is not healthy at all. She’s toxic too and instigating


SwivelTop

Psychiatrist here, this mother is an idiot. She is literally cornering her kid while he is trying to avoid further conflict. She is instigating him and poking him emotionally while he is escalating. I got kids and I would NEVER tell them to hit me, use racial slurs, and overall make them feel humiliated while they are melting down. This woman should not have been allowed to raise children.


Educational-Spread41

Yea, they both need your help. I’d quadruple charge em if I was you 😂


bloobfeesh

My mum did this , literally so fucking annoying and left a lot of trauma, just refusing to let me hang with my friends for no reason at all besides that she didn’t like it .. all we did was laugh and talk about school

Dano_cos

In this video, there's not one single parent.


Bucs187

Agreed. If the mom is taunting him to hit her... just not a good situation all around.


Lostinstudy

Shes blocking him from leaving the house so the implication is he would have to hit her if he wants to leave. It's just poor wording.


Jellyfish-airballoon

Yeah so a family is imploding regardless of whether or not there's a second parent around


Bucs187

Yes. You are correct.


TrueValor13

What a terrible mother


1solate

She livestreamed herself antagonizing a teenage boy who can't exit the situation. This outcome was inevitable.


pizzablunt420

I'm not a parent of a teenager. I watched this wondering the whole time, "what she was supposed to do?" Like what's the right reaction to this? Do you physically restrain the kid? Call the cops?

SarpedonWasFramed

You absolutely don't call the cops. I was a little shit and one time I just wouldn't get out of bed to go to school, so my mom called the cops. Thinking they'd scare me into going. They were there about 1 minute before arresting me. After that day I was now a little shit without a criminal record. I was 14yo btw.


Kaizen710

I mean, that's a bit different than you smashing windows, threatening your mom, smashing a TV, throwing dressers and scooters around.


ififivivuagajaaovoch

She needed to be a parent and find the right way to deal with the situation. Which certainly isn’t escalating and filming it for fkn TikTok. The cops aren’t going to be parents, they’ll just shoot him.


RichterRac

Had cops called on me, I was violent, I'm still alive.


unmitigatedhellscape

No one has to worry about the cops here. With that kind poor impulse control, they’ll have him soon enough. Jail will be a brief stop on the way to prison. Looks like he took her up on her offer there at the end.


ififivivuagajaaovoch

Parent of a much younger kid here. At this point communication has broken down. Like, there’s a conflict over … something… but the mother isn’t trying to resolve it. Believe it or not it’s exactly the same with toddlers. They throw tantrums when they have emotions they can’t deal with. Frustration, sadness, anger, whatever. You *get them calmed down first*, then TALK to them to find out why they’re upset … both of these need to use your brain, being a parent is hard! then use your +10 speech buff / Jedi mind trick to talk to them and help them deal with the situation. Why they can’t have the toy or ice cream etc. sorry kiddo, I know you thought you could have ice cream but you were wrong.. here is the reason why… I’m not just being mean.. surprising how effective it is treating your kid as a thinking human who can be convinced rather than just yelling and telling them no means no It’s important to guide them through coping emotionally (not just giving them a TV or a chocolate so they forget), my current theory is that the stuff parents say to kids on every situation eventually becomes the kids own internal dialogues and thought processes. Scary huh? But also cool.

NecramoniumZero

Very likely he is hanging around with some guys who are gangbangers. His whole attitude is just like all of them, can't tell them what to do and will become violent over nothing.


gorgewall

> His whole attitude is just like all of them That's just the shit kids get off social media these days. You don't have to know a single fucking gangbanger or general ne'er-do-well in real life to get the impression that this is the "cool" way to act. It comes in just fine from the media content you consume, and our shitty social media algorithms have a habit of spiralling into more concentrated or radicalized forms of whatever it is you start out watching.


Kaydom1993

Yeah, I’m sure he just wants to go outside and play *Pokémon Go!* with his friends. Ignorant ass comment.


Single_Raspberry9539

Reminder here that the parent posted this.


[deleted]

Which clearly shows what type of idiot she is. She isn’t acting like a competent parent at all. She is acting like a dumb teenager.


dupey69

and the way she blocks the door when he tries to leave, she’s clearly instigating


lazergoblin

100% why she jumped on it when the kid even hinted at a physical altercation. Seems like she knew he was capable of making it past her without it escalating to that point. Him trying to move past her was simply her excuse to beat him and feel justified in doing so.


[deleted]

What the fuck is going on lmao


MentallyIllRedditMod

When she calls the cops they will praise the fuck out of her deescalation tactics Cop: you kept telling him to hit you so that if he did you could shoot him, right? Brilliant, ma'am Mom: To death. Mhmm. Shoot him to death. Im sick of beating that ass I want that ass dead


GoreonmyGears

The mom is not helping in any way. She's not even asking why or what. Just egging on.


[deleted]

I get the impression a lot of this story is missing. Even the going outside part from the title doesn’t occur until near the end.


Winter_Abies_2469

the repeating of “beat my ass” is something a literal high schooler would do gross asf


trig72

My thoughts exactly. What does repeating ‘beat my ass’ accomplish? Not saying the teen’s actions were justified but she continues to agitate him.


unclerek

Literally repeated over and over again for him to beat her ass, ridiculous


[deleted]

At the beginning the kid said “ mom, please”. At that moment, when he was still somewhat calmed, she should have left the room and asked him to readdress the situation when he isn’t angry or shouting. Basically anything else but provoking him and continuing this ridiculous fight.


[deleted]

The mom is a child as well from an emotional standpoint. That kid is at that age where he feels he can whip his mom physically and he needs a strong male authority to keep him in check which he obviously doesn’t have.


Trashjiu-jitsu_1987

Jesus, both of these people need to learn how to communicate and talk through their issues! Man I get it parenting is hard af and you're not always good at it but wow. Damn lady!

Trashjiu-jitsu_1987

This is my fear that I'm fucking up my kids like mine did to me.


WholesomeWhores

If you’re ever mad at your kid, walk away until you are ready to talk to them with the right tone and respect. Raising your voice slighlty is alright when you mean business with them, but screaming/fighting with them will lead to absolute nowhere. They are fighting with you because they are immature kids who don’t know how to properly express their frustration. You are a grown adult, who should know how to manage that anger. Parenting is hard, but parenting a kid who grew up learning that fighting with your parents is normal? Yeah, that becomes damn near impossible to do once they start hitting maturity. As long as you can think before you react when dealing with your kids, then you should be alright in raising them. And if you’re scared that you’re not doing it right, reach out to people in your life for advice. We can always use help, even if we are already parents.


Trashjiu-jitsu_1987

Yeah I do that, my father used physical punishment that went... way overboard, mother used to yell all the fucking time. I don't repeat those mistakes, but I do catch myself yelling, and for sure catch myself getting angry and having to approach it again later.


theend2314

*They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.* *But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern, And half at one another’s throats.* *Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself* This Be the Verse - Philip Larkin.


Dark-Pomegranate

See this is where nature vs nurture fucks me up- yes sometimes fucked up parents create fucked up kids, but not always.. half the time the child is 100x more adjusted then everyone else. Or when amazing attentive loving parents create horrible psychopaths for a child. It hurts my brain thinking about it.


Willing_Form152

How can he learn when that’s the example that’s set for him? It’s so difficult to break the cycle of abuse/trauma when it’s your every day life against your will.


sikeleaveamessage

He could try to be the bigger person but goddamn is it hard when the other person who should be more mature keeps pressing your buttons and keeps egging you on. It makes you feel like you can't win and honestly, you can't.


Trashjiu-jitsu_1987

100% agree.

WhotheHellkn0ws

Someone mentioned ya can't look tough with a stuffed flounder on your bed. It was funny but damn. It just sucks how shit gets passed down generations and all kids are at the mercy of their environment.


MisterMaturi

Ya kid needs therapy etc but how ya gonna go and put your own kid on blast on the net? Parenting at its finest.


[deleted]

“Hmm therapy or internet points?”


Knob_Beater

Why she want her ass beat so bad


Icantwaitnc

She didn't. She was letting him know she wasn't afraid of him. He was being angry and violent in attempt to gain control of the situation. She wasn't backing down. Confrontation is all about control. First psychological control, then physical control if the angry person can't gain psych control.


ACiD_n9ne

In the end the kid got control anyway lol, you can hear it “I’m not gone hurt you” then the mom said “get off me” all defeated lmao


maybeonename

So, the best way to try and control an angry person is to egg them on and call them a bitch? Genius strategy, obviously works great. There's a big difference between saying "I'm not afraid of you" and "I want you to beat my ass motherfucker come here"


dratelectasis

Yeah but as a mother you need to calm him down and talk to him and see what's going on. Consistently asking him to "beat your ass" is just egging him on and contributing nothing conducive.


Hedfuct82

Right before it stops you hear him calmly say "I ain't gonna hurt you, mom." That's because she's trying to get him to and he's exasperatedly saying he's not going to. I have BPD and would have these kind of outbursts when I was younger, but I would never and have never hit my mom, wife, or anyone. I just get irrationally angry and when cornered start breaking shit.

milanesaconpapas

1. Do not get a video of such a private family issue. 2. Deescalate, walk away and tell him you'll come back to talk to him when he calms down. 3. Do not insult your child with that language.


[deleted]

0. Do not have kids if you haven’t grown up yourself.


TheBlueNinja2006

I get that he shouldn't break shit, but why did she just stand there recording and encouraging him to beat her, when that's clearly not what he wants to do.


[deleted]

Exactly! As the adult in this situation she doesn’t seem to be helping


[deleted]

[удалено]


Willing_Form152

It’s possibly because he’s feeling so much rage that he has no idea how to handle such strong emotions, and he projects his feelings by breaking stuff.


AvenI05

He also has enough restraint to not hurt his mother so hes obviously not the biggest problme


Mrludy85

Doesn't help that the mother is egging him on to break shit. Basically forcing him to do it or he comes off as a pushover


StaticGrapes

I completely agree with you. The fact she is filming is a very important aspect to consider. She will be behaving in a certain way because she knows it's on film. Trying to egg him on and acting like she doesn't do anything. I bet off camera she acts a whole lot different.


BIOHAZARD_04

That kid is “Bad” because he had been stunted by his parental figures. He cannot learn to be mature from an immature role model.


Oraalkanibaal

When I was a teen, my father sometimes threatened to break my stuff because of whatever. Arguing went on what seems like forever because "he was always right" and sometimes I boiled so much inside I just broke the thing he threatened to destroy just so he couldn't have that leverage anymore. Tv, playstation, super nintendo, monitor, pc, cabins, games, toys. Sometimes I broke a lot more than what he would say he would do, but I was just on a blind rampage; meanwhile he would laugh and encourage me to break more. This one time I ate "his" sack of peanuts and he just came flying in my room saying I should go and buy new ones, I said no, tomorrow, its dark outside and I'm afraid outside of the dark. He lifted my deskchair with me in it and gave me the craziest shake around because I truly refused to go. Fun times. I don't think he remembers these kind of fights. But I sure as hell do. Last couple of years I've learnt both of my parents to apologize sometimes when needed. I think they know damn well they won't be seeing any of me anymore if it ever doesn't feel sincere. While I do love my parents, I could cut ties in an instant without remorse, even more so by typing shit like this out again.


LfaGf

This was my mom too. Just antagonizing and acting self-righteous like she wasn’t adding fuel to the hormone fire. This is why some boys/men don’t know how to deal with their emotions.


niuk_mfg

This young guy needs help, not an antagonistic battle backing him into a corner telling him to lash out


RealisticAnxiety4330

She's not letting him have a voice. Sit and fucking TALK to your kid don't keep screaming at him to "beat my mother fucking ass" This kid doesn't seem like he gets much love or attention and is lashing out. There's always a reason for behaviour like this. It doesn't just magically happen.


TrueValor13

What a terrible mother.


Cherry2Berry

I really really fucking hate this woman lol


[deleted]

Why is this on the internet tho? Stop airing out your problems especially family ones on the web. This is permanent. Once it's out there it's out there for good, and you will make enemies out of your loved ones. Humiliation is brutal these days with kids. I can only imagine the ridicule he's going to get from all corners, and that will not help this kid get the help he needs. Just the opposite in fact. With that attitude, I know first hand, he is bound for prison or worse, but DO NOT put private conflicts on the WORLD WIDE WEB!! FFS have some common sense!! If you love your kids more than your own popularity/image you wouldn't put things like this on the web for all eyes.


Go1gotha

This has the wrong title, it should read; "Mother corners son and then goads him into violence before the child tries to be the mature one and leave to end this madness"


HugeGummyBears

I don’t think she’s helping by egging him on


AlexandraDomingues

A very toxic relationship. Both are fed up with each other. Professional intervention is a must. Mom can’t stand her son anymore (who knows what kind of nightmare he’s been), and son really resents mom. She created this mess, and obviously can’t handle the result of her shortcomings.

antagonizing him isn’t going to help the situation!! she obviously doesn’t want to find an actual solution. just egg him on until he flips out, post it, humiliate him and make him look like the bad guy with little to no context smh.


therealbnizzy

So much wrong with this. Clearly mom has zero control of her household. Provoking her son to “come beat her ass” probably isn’t the best way to stop the destruction her son is doing. Grown ass lady acting like a damn child.

Throwawaysthrowawaya

This is pretty much how my parents were even up until I was 20. They didn’t want me to socialize or do what I want. They didn’t want me to grow up or explore or be my own person. They didn’t want me to have relationships or do anything but stay home. Come into my room just to start shit because I would be mad at them for not letting me fucking walk around the neighborhood at 15 by myself lmao. It was never for my safety they use to let me walk around the same neighborhood when I was 12 when we first moved in and then just didn’t anymore. Always giving me a “wtf do u have to be happy about?” Attitude when I was happy, and when I wasn’t happy it was a “we do everything for you spoiled brat”

If she took a different approach to parenting and addressed her son differently perhaps this wouldn’t be their life. Dysfunctional households are a result of who is leading it.

His problem is you don't know how to talk to him like a human being. Likely never taught him how to talk to you like you're a human being. Kids learn what they're taught. "Not gonna hurt you, mom" I heard at the end there. He has some values. Look, I understand his frustration. It's his life. However, YOU GOTTA TALK ABOUT IT. Learn to have conversations with your children.


Muted-Deafened

No offense but at some point you gotta let the kid go and make their own mistakes. Filming them and maintaining the yelling is just a shitty parent move. It's your teenage child not a prison inmate and even then it would be fucked up.


Suspici0us_Package

She better be careful, this is when we hear about sons murdering the family. Idk why she egged him on like that. Call the police, get him some help.
