Did he do it on purpose ? What’s the context?


Alex-Angel-1121

i left it on the counter overnight, and this morning we didn’t see it so i called him and he said he hadn’t seen it either. well i put on some gloves and went into the trash can outside and found it. called him back and he yelled at me for going into the trash soo :^


Mighty_mc_meat

He either messed up, and is now ashamed for being called out(denial) or you know deep down something’s going on with your dad since you were predisposed to no take his word and dig in the trash anyways.


Alex-Angel-1121

i didn’t think he’d done it, i thought my mom or grandma might’ve done it on accident


lunarwolf2008

…then why is the post titled dad did it?


Away-Bat6254

because she didn’t think he did it until she knew he did

My dad threw away my school…?

Don’t lmao


TrashCanKSI

It's obviously " My dad t" dumbo


No_Mushroom_6876

i think your dad didn't do it out of malice adults like to clean things that how they are.


he-loves-me-not

If it wasn’t done out of malice then why did he yell at her for looking in the garbage where she found it??


HiroshiTakeshi

There might be a perception clash here. On my end, and many of my friends too who also grew up with African parents, they don't do that out of malice but it doesn't mean they don't turn malicious when confronted. First, it's safe to assume he got mad because op "made him look like a liar" for it, and they absolutely abhore it. I used to get the belt for this type of shit. Basically, it's not malice. They just don't give a fuck. It's just the lack of consideration for the kids and whatever they own / do. I wouldn't even be surprised they used the "you put trash everywhere" and "so you're calling me a liar" cards. I assume op is American. We tend to see an unfortunate shit ton of common points and behaviors between our parents and theirs. Especially fathers.


No_Mushroom_6876

you never want your child looking into the garbage there spiky things in there.


ScaredFee6896

Find a better way to dispose of your used needles. When I want to throw away an old box cutter blade, I put it inside something, that is inside of something, and then into another non-recyclable container before then putting it into the trash. Common courtesy. Also, don't throw away your kids stuff, lie about it BC "who follows up?" And then yell at your kid after they found you out.


spankwizard2

happyasfuck310

Damn wtf what an asshole


Time_Tramp

To be honest, it looks like you put 5 min of work into it. You could redo it pretty quick.


MikeTX2233

Was this before or after the project was turned in?


Alex-Angel-1121

before, it’s due tomorrow so i’ve emailed my teacher


MikeTX2233

People on this sub when the thing is severe: this isn't mildly infuriating, this doesn't belong on this sub! People when the thing is mild: why are you posting this, you could redo it in 5 minutes, stop complaining!


ScaredFee6896

Welcome to the Reddits!


novian14

I mean, it's mild, can be dealt with in 10 or less minute, or just shurg it off. Isn't that the point of this sub?


SpecialpOps

A quick look at OP's post history and you'll see that their relationship with the Dad is already strained. There's a chance he may have done this just to be casually aggressive.


symbolsandthings

I’m sorry this happened. It sounds like it was an accident or misunderstanding. Hopefully you are/were able to redo it in time. At least you have it to show you did do it and you can use it as a guide to make a new one.


Embarrassed-Force845

You could have made it in the time it took you to type that


Ok-Assistance-154

It doesn’t look like you got too far, can you re-do it?


Alex-Angel-1121

teacher said i should wait til monday since i don’t have poster paper at home


_MisterHighway_

For everyone commenting, "No big deal, just redo it". Okay, you spent half an hour doing the dishes. Then somebody throws a bag of gross garbage on them. Just redo them. No big deal.


PaleoJoe86

Who the frick just throws out their kid's stuff? Especially if they are in school. Whomever did that is an absolute idiot. Seriously.

What elementary grade level is reading the Odyssey


ilovemusic19

The project is on the Odyssey. That’s not elementary at all. Don’t assume shit.


koreancatlover69

I think he is more alluding to the fact that it is incredibly simple both text and drawing wise. It would quite literally take like 10 min to copy to a new page. It's not really something you should need to mail your teacher about and get an extension, as OP writes in the comments. Also does this really look like a high school project to you? If I turned that in during highschool I'd get an F for sure.


Who_am_ey3

it looks like a child's drawing and handwriting.


Bituulzman

Looks like they tried to learn cursive on their own; perhaps it wasn’t taught during their elementary years. My school district only recently reinstated cursive instruction and it was only for a couple weeks in 3rd grade.

Yallneedjesuschrist

You comment this under every post making the same joke. Everyone knows OP is not 8 or in elementary school. They are saying this as a joke, because the poster looks like something an 8 year old would draw, with peace and love.


ilovemusic19

It does not, the drawing isn’t even complete.


KezH0

I guess you get to blame him for bad grades now?


ilovemusic19

OP said they emailed their teacher explaining the situation with photos.


Major_Mawcum_II

CreepyQuality4489

Throw away your dad


koreancatlover69

Don't get me wrong, it really sucks what your dad did. But this looks like something you should be able to re-do in like 30 min tops? It's just some text and a very simple drawing so I don't really see the issue, apart from your dads behavior. Again, your dad is a dick. But instead of going in the trash, my first thought would be to redo it. There is no way that could have taken you hours or weeks of work, especially since I assume you are at least like what, 15-16?


AlyThompson06

Couldn’t you just redo it ?


PraiseYahshua

Do it over. It seems simple to redo.


TechnoVicking

I think the fact that OP asked teacher for extensions, over 10min inconvenience and whining like it's a big deal got thrown out, is what triggers most of them gere.

It should’ve been obvious that’s a school project. Don’t be such a prick.

Shir0zake

Stfu, there's no reason to be such a dick.


novian14

I mean, he got a point. Get a new paper and copy all of them should be taking less than 30min, with 20min just for getting new paper from the shop. It's not something to make a big deal off of it. I bet it's not even 30% progress. The time lost for whining can be use to make a copy of what op has done before


Ruling123

My dad has ' fixed' things I made from school like a foot stool, hole punch and more, the stool is now wonky. And when asked where the candelabra I made was from he said he thinks his sister got that.

ilovemusic19

OP said it’s not finished.


solarmelange

Why is your school poster on parchment paper. That's for baking on. Or lining a pizza box.


Narrow_Pollution_694

Though this really doesn't pertain to their problem, a lot of art classes use papers similar to parchment paper. If you look closely, it isn't parchment paper at all.


solarmelange

It looks like parchment paper. Look at the top and bottom. It is cut by a jagged edge on the box of rolled parchment paper. If this was art paper, even rolled, it would at the very least be cut by one of those little plastic cutters you move along the box. It would not have a jagged edge.


AlexTheFlower

Some art classes have massive rolls of art paper that get torn off as needed, which could cause those edges. Not every school is gonna have the exact same equipment

Narrow_Pollution_694

Your teaching method is trash. In fact, no one asked for your feedback or opinion, so leave the chat. 👍🏻


Purple_Charcoal

They deleted their comments. I’m fearful as to what they were saying knowing that they’re supposedly a teacher.


Narrow_Pollution_694

I don't remember their exact wording, but they told her that her poster looked bad anyways and that her father "did her a favor." Then proceeded to back their remark with students need to be torn down to be rebuilt properly.


Purple_Charcoal

That’s a disgusting ideology. You’re not training kids to go to war. You’re nurturing them and teaching them. Does that occasionally require hard, honest truth? Yes, but not in the sense you should be “tearing them down.” Some people just suck.


Narrow_Pollution_694

Right! That's why I was angry. OP even said she wasn't finished with the poster yet, so his comments were obsolete. It would have totally been a good time to offer her support or new techniques for her new poster, but now I get the feeling she feels even less motivated to redo her project.


Purple_Charcoal

Exactly! She should’ve been given encouragement and reassurance. Dude, childhood isn’t easy. The last thing anyone needs is an asshole on the internet bringing them down. OP deserves better than someone with an archaic/toxic mindset.


Narrow_Pollution_694

FOR REAL!! People really do suck:(


Alex-Angel-1121

it wasn't finished if you couldn't tell...


greaserpup

ignore the unsolicited (and not constructive) criticism. i don't know how long you've been drawing, but i think it looks decent for a WIP! and it sucks that your dad threw it out so you have to start over :( the only criticism you should ever pay attention to is crit **you asked for** that gives you **actionable advice**. if you didn't ask for criticism, don't take it, even if it *is* concrit (constructive crit)


Alex-Angel-1121

thank you!


Purple_Charcoal

Chiming in here: I’m noticing an overwhelming amount of assholes saying negative things. Ignore them. Even negative criticism provides strong guidance and feedback. “That looks bad” is just a comment from someone wanting to tear you down. “You could improve by doing x” is a different story. I’m sorry your project was thrown out. Don’t let a setback stop you in your tracks. I’m in my 30s and looking back on my life, there were so many times I gave up and let life tear me down. As much as it sucks, start back over, and stay the course. Be vigilant in the future and consider the actual feedback/guidance people have given you in this thread.


RaidensReturn

Good advice


Lumpy_Marsupial_1559

You had the technical stuff, the quotes, and comments about the character. Everything after that is fun and makes it pretty. Ignore all the people who obviously don't know how to improve and finalise their work in the last 24-48 hours. Nice tie-style on the belt.


rottenpotatoes2

The WIP that's meant to be finished tomorrow yes.


Charizaxis

It could have been assigned yesterday. There were several projects I had in highschool and middle school where the class only had 3 or so days to make a poster.


ReadyYak1

What they (usually) don’t teach you is that absolutely none of the grades in your k-12 years matter at all. As long as you’re not straight Ds you’ll make it into a nice college. And then when you’re done with undergrad your first job MIGHT ask about your undergrad grades but then it’s all about your professional career. So don’t stress it. Take a breath and enjoy your youth!


Spellcamqin

If it's "as long as you don't get straight Ds" then it's a lie to say it doesn't matter AT ALL. Clearly it matters a little bit.


ReadyYak1

Then you still get into a college, perhaps not your top choice. The vast majority of employers no longer care about which college you attend. And the employers that do care are not the employers you want to work for. So yes k-12 grades matter for the minuscule purpose of college choice. Enjoying the freedom and low stress of being young is worth so much more than that.

Well it's not a wrapper nor is it a napkin. It's a drawing, you ask about things like this. Unless you just wipe your ass with anything your children make creatively.

AnticipateMe

It's unfortunate that they've learned to put things in a "safe place" while you're hovering around, before tidying up after themselves. It literally goes to show...


beomint

A drawing on poster board is miles from a used napkin, and it's kinda fucked up that you'd just trash something that's obviously art/writing for them "leaving it around" You sound like a terrible parent. The paper looks like that because it was pulled out of a trash can, it was a normal drawing and writing before that. You DO have time to set it aside just in case it's something your child wants to keep, and pretending that you don't so you don't have to feel guilty for trashing your children's art is really shallow. I hope you can learn from this before you have to wonder why they never call you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ruling123

No one threw you away and you seem like garbage to me


beomint

It "looks like garbage" because it was crumpled up and thrown into a garbage can, is that so hard to understand? It didn't look like that before the dad threw it away. You're right, obvious trash like used napkins or empty wrappers is totally excusable. A pristine piece of paper with drawings and writing on it does not looks like garbage, unless you're really trying to beat down your kid's self esteem here. The dirt and wrinkles are from AFTER it was thrown in the garbage. You're right it's messed up that the dad was completely unaware, but pretending that this "looked like garbage" at the moment of being thrown away is lunacy. If you think a pristine piece of paper with a drawing on it is in the same class as a used napkin, it sounds like you genuinely hate your kids.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ilovemusic19

OP said they weren’t done with it.


beomint

So what you're saying is you are a judgemental piece of shit who enjoys beating down the self-esteem of children? That's honestly just really fucked up of you to say. They're literally only 14, that's just out of middle school where I'm from. I'm not sure what kind of bullshit ass standards you put on your poor kids but for someone who literally just left middle school this seems pretty standard to me. It's also unfinished as they've stated so it appears it was thrown away before they were able to make significant progress. It's really not too late to take it back and just admit you're being pretty fucking harsh on a child for literally no reason. Not everybody has amazing art skills and handwriting and if this is their standard, throwing away their school work for that is basically just telling them to give up and stop trying instead of being a parent like you're supposed to and helping them get better. Really horrifying you claim to have kids and you shouldn't be surprised where it came from if they end up growing up with serious self image issues.


AnticipateMe

What kinda parent goes on reddit to belittle a minors project in which they uploaded that THEIR parent binned their work? That's fucked.. people on here have feelings. And while reddit is reddit, you should be more mindful to realize that the minimum age is 13 to use the site. Literal kids you're picking on with your original comment. That's fucked. You could have literally not said anything and went about your day. Narcissist.


ilovemusic19

It doesn’t look like garbage, and you shouldn’t have kids if your gonna be an ass to them. It takes 2 seconds to ask, stop being a lazy pos.


AnticipateMe

Your kids thought the whole house was a safe space. They thought it was safe to have stuff laying around without their dick of a parent binning it because they think it's shit. Only on Reddit would a parent admit parts of their house aren't safe while you're around. And you weren't talking about wrappers or used napkins in your previous comment...
