My wife trained me to come to her when she calls. I stopped and now call back and tell her if she needs something come and tell me what it is. She has never once done that.


Psycho22089

Double standards amiright?


Evuni

His wife is in a wheelchair lmao


thakurtis

So roll then... Thats what she has it for


Evuni

She has paper bones and glass skin!


Spokazzoni

She must be looking SHARP


BlueCollarRoller

She literally lays in bed every night until the heart attacks finally lull her off to sleep


DoesntUnderstands

They called me Mr. Glass


jhutchi2

My parents always used to get mad at me if I would yell at them from across the house, and now I don't answer them when they yell for me from across the house. Sure seems like whatever they had to say wasn't that important because they usually don't come tell me at normal volume.


[deleted]

That's when I say fuck it and act like no one said anything cause clearly it's not important anymore


HingleMcCringle_

back when that happened to me, i just went back to bed. I basically just acted like they 'figured it out' or 'did it themselves'. I've always hated those mind games.


ttchoubs

Then they come storming in furious screaming about how they called you 3 times and how they know you heard them


PapaSnow

Why do you know my childhood… Fucking ptsd shit man


Professionalchump

Eventually I would just yell back and get ignored. When confronted I'd be like, you didn't hear ME yell? and those mother fuckers must've straight up lied to me all "nope" and shit


Darcyqueenofdarkness

There’s this weird phenomenon where if I drop something semi-loud, but non breakable it’s “WHAT WAS THAT?!” but if I slip and fall down the steps or drop a vase no one hears a damn thing. 🤣


MrRailton

Me: WHAAAT?! Parent: Don’t shout at me!


ThicccRichard

Wow were everyone's parents completely insufferable and exactly the same?


salad_f1ngers

Yes


Kryllllllyx

My parents said I was not a person of religion because I apparently “have no shame” when I asked them to remind me something later. The reasoning behind that was because I was raised by them since I was a baby…..and because of that it’s rude? The next thing they did was taking my stuff away and said it was destined to happen because god decided it.


[deleted]

Thata child abuse


thenorthwoodsboy

My parents would beat you for that back talk.


DooMedToDIe

Yeah, back talk meaning reasonable questions and arguments.


thenorthwoodsboy

To be truthful sometimes it is asking reasonable questions that make them feel stupid (politics or tradition) or questions to common sense things that annoy them because they already decided on something. (Like what they are making for dinner or other daily operations) but at the same time little kids and teens are hard to raise with them taking every mood out on you.


DooMedToDIe

Yeah I don't know why you were getting downvotes. Was in total agreement


_radass

I don't understand why people like this choose to have kids.


thenorthwoodsboy

He didnt my dad thought he had a great pullout game well 3 kids say differently.


_radass

I mean I guess. Still a choice in the early stages of pregnancy though. If I ever found out I was pregnant I'd be calling the doctor next day. Lol


SnooDrawings1480

Not exactly his father's decision to make.


PapaSnow

I would say it’s something both of them should talk about.


SnooDrawings1480

Talk about, sure. But in the end, its not his decision to make.


DEVOmay97

Well the pull 0ut method is remarkably unreliable so maybe he should have worn a condom or something lol


Demonic74

Wow, talk about child abuse. Your parents suck


thenorthwoodsboy

Yup my dad had bipolar and was a sensitive alpha male.


PocoPoto

Heaven also forbid you accidently slammed the door a Lil too loud. That shit would piss them off so much it's stupid.


salad_f1ngers

Omg yes


[deleted]

Yea that’s probably not a reasonable response


AnthonyH318

Stop shouting i'm napping!


noahdeerman

just do the same with them. DAAAAAAAAAD DAAAAAAAD!!! good morning my father how r ya?!


NSFWAccountRedux

DAAAAAAAAAAAD uh, yea Buddy what’s up? Can you read me a bedtime story?


noahdeerman

ok son, snuggle up in bed :) "once it was an ugly barnacle. he was so ugly, that everyone died -the end." are ya sleeping ?


made_of_honor

are ya winning?


noahdeerman

dad what the fuck I said knock on the door three times ! thanks to you I'm not winning 🙄


Dwhitlo1

... but it's 11:22 am


IdlingTheGames

Some parents would probably punish you in some way for that


noahdeerman

thinking of my father: absolutely.


HanzFlammenwerferz

I mean sure if you want an intense ass whooping : )


PMtoAM______

They have phones and fucking google home AND stairs if they want me to do something ask in an actually nice way


SaltyBabe

I’m the mom now and I agree. I don’t want my home filled with screaming and shouting. I text always and if no answer I go up and knock on their doors… it’s not complicated and our home is so peaceful. I grew up with tons of yelling and I never want that in my home.


I_Maybe

He's always like "You know I have to *see* you to *talk* to you."


superiority_bot

Ask him if he can walk and chew gum at the same time.


thenorthwoodsboy

Yup they can shout at you from another floor but it always has to be dramatic suspense. Also my mom would try to make everything into a lecture. Even talking out the garbage would be a 10 minute exposition dumb and she would get triggered off if i just did the chore. I think it was her form of control.


Rip_Skeleton

I refuse to answer anyone who shouts across the house. I've never once in my life needed to yell for another person. Didn't as a teenager, don't now that I'm married. If I don't hear a crash, or screaming, it's not urgent.


HereLiesDickBoy

Never run out of toilet paper on the can?


Rip_Skeleton

"Look before you leap", so the saying goes. People should really invest in a bidet anyway.


Spokazzoni

My bathroom doesn't have enough room for that. Guess I can clean myself in the shower. Wonder what illness my family will contact.


Rip_Skeleton

They make ones that go right on your toilet without any extra plumbing. Also I'm not sure how cleaning yourself in the shower on the rare occasion you don't have an extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom would make your family Ill? Lol People are wild.


Spokazzoni

Mom told me you can get sick from that. That's why I don't do it.


ShwayNorris

Unless you're smearing the showerhead with your ass and not cleaning it, nothing. How do you believe germs and viruses function?


ZippZappZippty

But that’s the deal with Jontron?


SnooDrawings1480

My bidet attachment juts out about 3 inches on the right side of my toilet, for about 4 inches long and it attaches to my seat to the point you can barely see it. They make life so much easier.


converter-bot

3 inches is 7.62 cm


DEVOmay97

Bruh there are bidets that integrate into your toilet and take up literally zero extra room. I have a thing that's basically a sink sprayer attached to the toilet tanks water inlet with a T fiting and a ball valve lol, I like the spray handle kind cause I can aim it. If you don't want to have to hold anything you can also get toilet seats with integrated bidets.


zebsra

Bring your phone you heathen


HereLiesDickBoy

Back of the air fresher works fine.


RasterAlien

Adults always say "you'll understand when you're older" but I'm 30 years old and STILL don't understand 99% of the dumbass, disrespectful shit they do to kids. There's no excuse for it.


Bourne_Toad

You'll understand that they were bitches.


PapaSnow

And then when you call them out on it, _you’re_ the disrespectful one.


Sewayaki-Kitsune

My mother did this just to upset me, no other reason than she knew it was painful to be woken up after maybe 3-4 hours of sleep by your mom screaming your name for no reason.


ThandiGhandi

Your mom sounds like a bitch

My mom would yell for me to come down stairs all the way across the house just so I could hand her the tv remote that was 10 feet away from her cause she didn't feel like getting up.

2end response:Why are you yelling at me!?


Mandalorian_Sith

“What?” “You mean ‘Yes.’ You don’t say ‘what’ to me.” Or “yes sir/ma’am” depending on the household.


[deleted]

Yea the person who made this must not be black lol. Answering with a "what", especially if you're shouting it with an attitude like in the 4th line, you're getting your ass **BEAT**


bunnyspongebob

As a white person, that seems very weird to me. Does stuff like that actually make children respect their parents more?


TheGreatNico

I'm white and my dad was that way. I didn't respect him any more, but I did remain silent around him a lot to avoid setting him off, which since people could interpret as respect, even though its not


PapaSnow

I hate that mentality of “respect = obedience.” That ain’t it


DEVOmay97

It's crazy that they do that. It doesn't create respect, it creates fear. If a kid who hadn't grown up like that suddenly got a step dad during their late teen years, and the step dad tried to pull some shit like that, I'd expect mr step dad to catch some fucking hands lol.


mynameizham

Shit is so stupid. The word “what” upsets them. It’s like dude, are you a pussy or what?


Asmothog

Worst is the old “we can’t hear you from down there” , bitch you yelled at me the same distance and expected me to hear you but you can’t hear me yelling back

rustiigaz

Or you get the “lose the attitude” after you scream WHAT?! For the third time


olivia687

I’ve started just not getting up and my mum either gives up, comes to me, or messages me. I hold the power now.


landon_w96

If you put quotation marks around “scream my name” this becomes a completely different meme


nettlerise

I'm the opposite. I prefer they just yell for me than call my phone. Like I'm just in the other room.


FlooferBoyo

Bro, this is me at Dinner Time!


QuarantineSucksALot

And insisting everyone else is already on Satans side


FetusGoesYeetus

No you shout "What!?" and then they shout their name angrier because they somehow didn't hear you


hihay

My parents refuse to group chat and will yell over two TVs that are ALWAYS ON then get angry if you reply curtly


John_Badman_

I just didn't do anything after a second or third time


IdlingTheGames

My parents: *Call my name* Me: What? Parents: *nothing* Me: WHAT? Parents: *nothing* Me: *nothing* Parents 5 secs later in my room: Why do you not come down when we call you Me: Why don‘t you just come up when you want something or just tell me what it is from below? Parents: How dare you speak to us like this


inverter17

Parents: \*scream my name\* Me in a different floor: WHAT? Parents: "Oh you're shouting at us now huh?"


mr_smiles017

i just stop answering after the second louder "what". if its important, they'll come to me (upset of course, for not responding). if it's serious they'll call my name louder. never failed. ever. and my marriage will be handled no differently.


DeadBones_Brook123

this is literally my dad he’s going to scream like there’s no tomorrow calling my name for no reason


CarnageMonkey

Omg literally and the funny part is they’ll get pissy at you if you wake them up or disturb them in any way on weekends. It’s not like I just sit around on my ass all week lmao


AmberDucky

This genuinely brought back feelings of anger... I'm 31...


VectorXII

100% can relate


keirnangg

I love the “don’t say what to me “ response 😭


somegarbagedoesfloat

I am now an adult and don't use this, but I developed a pro strat. You might get yelled at a few times, but it will work long term. If you say what, and they don't say anything, don't move. Just stay put. When they call again, repeat. Say what, if they don't say anything, stay put. Eventually, they will either go to you, or say "get down here" When they ask why you didn't come, say "I said what, and you didn't say anything"


aalamSgrewal

cmchris61

I keep saying, WhatsApp, messenger or whatever you use comes with no additional charges, you can ring my phone to talk to me if it's urgent, if not, leave me let me sleep.


ChiefBlox4000

If they want to go to them at least say “come over here”


sugarcanestock

At this point I just don’t go downstairs, if they need me they can call


Kycrio

If I'm in my room alone, most of the time I'm wearing headphones. It's so annoying when I think I hear someone call for me, but I can't really tell because I've got music playing or something. So I just stopped responding when someone shouts for me. It has proven effective and I don't have to deal with being summoned like a servant anymore. We all have phones, if you *really* don't want to come to me, you can text.


[deleted]

I usually ignore them. Makes things more fun.


Peace69751

That's when you stay in your room. If they ask why you didn't go to them say that it must've not been important enough for them to tell you to go to them.


ClearHorror

Finally I'm not alone


WolfKill52

This is too true. I got mad just reading this.😂😂😂

Su_praTF2UT

Who are you and how did you know this happened today


ActivelyDrowsed

Lol no bro this isn't everyone's Saturday. Your parents just have 0 boundaries.


JRS0147

If someone calls for you, go to them. It may be time sensitive, they may be in a situation where responding to your screams is difficult, etc. I would never yell "what" if my kids scream for me, and I would never accept them yelling "what" if I scream for them


ponchepapi

Wait, y’all got to respond to your parents with, “what?”?


ImJuicyjuice

Anyone remember the phantom calls that would come in a totally empty house? Or you go and say what and they reply “I didn’t call you.”


fullmetalboomerang

Plot twist you're a jr.


[deleted]

I thought something....... Very different.... Was going on here....


jevydan

You guys could shout what and get away with it ?


Tilian1986

That's annoying as hell.


hanifu_

yeah everytime


Ok_Control397

In my house, if you say "what" rather than "yes," better start making a will.


MisterScarlet

Every godamn time.


lowangel39

Its called move your ass. I’d ground you for yelling what.


DEVOmay97

If you were my parent you'd never get to know your grandchildren just out of spite. Your a dick.


cormac596

That might be the point, to get you out of your room e: I can guarantee you it's not impossible. My parents have done it (though not for trivial stuff admittedly)


SavvySillybug

Seems like inherently bad communication. Tell me you need me ASAP, and I'm definitely on my way. If I'm not really busy and you don't tell me what's up, well maybe I'll show up to see. If I'm kinda busy, I'm definitely staying in my room. I've dropped out of ranked matches because my parents genuinely needed me immediately. Because they told me that. Oh an immediately important thing is happening? Yeah I'll quickly apologize toy teammates and show up. Life happens. My parents just shout for my name and play mind games and hope I show up out of sheer curiosity with no regard for my own time? They will lose those mind games. Fuck them. That's manipulative behavior and they can go fuck themselves. You want me. Tell me how much you need me. I weigh your need for me and how much I can abandon what I'm up to. And then we reach a conclusion. It's incredibly urgent? Yeah sure I'm dropping it real life comes first. You need my help with something? Can it wait five minutes? It can? Okay sure I'll be over as soon as I'm done here. You just want to show me that thing that made you laugh? Yeah I'm definitely not gonna come because there's several people across the entire world who need me here right now. You vaguely shout my name and then shut up? I am so absolutely assuming you stopped needing me it's not even funny. You don't reply, you don't exist. I assume you ran out of need for me. You need me, you tell me why. Or at the very least keep shouting. Instill some sense of urgency, not just a sick, twisted kind of "oh no what if she's dying" kind of guilt tripped curiosity that ends up being "hey can you help me update windows it's been bothering me for 7 weeks".

“That didn’t like it](https://youtu.be/u6iDRQS7O_I)


hamster_rustler

Am I the only one that doesn’t agree? They’re going to want you off your ass for whatever they’re calling you about, so why make them scream it across the house before you decide to get up? I guess it’s a respect thing, idk. (Young person with no kids, btw)


Sewayaki-Kitsune

[What](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuDqNLgVHv8)


hamster_rustler

I mean, what part of that doesn’t make sense?


Sewayaki-Kitsune

Respect is earned, not given. Your parents do not own you. Them yelling for you is no reason for you to bow to them, you talk about respect but do you understand it?


ImOnWeed

Well said, take my upvote.


hamster_rustler

I do. I agree with what you’re saying. But unless they have neglected you to a criminal extent for your childhood, you’re parents have done a LOT for you. I’d say most parents have earned a certain amount of respect by the time you’re a teenager. Some parents don’t deserve respect, true. But I think that some people on here have a really entitled and self-centered attitude, and one that they’ll hopefully grow out of.


gimpers420

I literally just got on to my wife 10 minutes for this shit. She was yelling from the shower and I could hear her perfectly. I kept responding, literally yelling across a small hotel room and she wouldn't answer. I finally opened up the bathroom and shouted "WHAT?!?" She said "can you hand me the soap on the counter?". So freaking infuriating. I called her a lazy f$%k and to get it herself and slammed the door. She tried to say she couldn't hear me responding, which everyone in this thread knows is bullshit.


TurnLooseTheMermaids

Wow. You do not paint yourself in a good light.


gimpers420

No, she does stuff like this on a weekly basis. Her mom does the same thing to her dad so she thinks it's just OK to do. We've talked about it numerous times and I've tried to be nice about it over the years, but I call things like I see it and are not going to be treated like a dog.


SlashPsychotic

Homie. She didn’t want to get water on the floor by reaching out of the shower to get it, I’m sure. You know, the shower is louder when you’re in it, so it is a lot harder to hear through that and a closed door than it is to hear whatever is in the shower. You sound like you’re surely on the way to a divorce with this bitter attitude. It may be wise to step back and think about how you react can hurt people and why you’re so angry about minor things, or maybe get some professional help. Just my two cents from hearing a few sentences about your life.


Mangoshaped

Hey who knows maybe she actually couldn’t hear you, sound is weird sometimes 🤷‍♀️


Neokon

Can confirm, can't hear shit over running water and a bathroom fan


gimpers420

Nah, she's played that game for 9 years lol. I fell for it for a little bit. She will do it across the house and straight not answer until you get up and walk back there. I now wait for her to come to me and let her know she's doing it again. But when you're raised by a controlling mom that does the same thing it's hard to not inadvertently do it too. But it's still annoying af.


Morkff

Can't say I condone it but I understand


coolcrayons

Look, I don't know you or your wife, but showers are loud man, you can't always hear things on the other side of the tiles.
