This topic ties into a number of other posts, but there is no denying that white people hate their parents. What is amazing, is that as a white parent, there is nothing you can do to prevent this.
If you are a strict parent who makes your kid have a curfew, do homework, and not smoke weed – then you are almost guaranteed to have them scream at you, write poems about how much they hate you, relate to songs by bands from Orange County and Florida.
Eventually, they forgive you and thank you for the tough upbringing, but still resent you because their high school experience wasn’t a carbon copy of the OC or My So Called Life.
On the other hand, if you are a super laid back parent who lets your kid go to parties, drink in the house, and you smoke weed together, you are only delaying the hatred. Because these kids eventually end up doing something stupid with their life – dropping out of university, trying to become a painter, or spending time in a Thai prison. At which point, they hate YOU for being too lax and not caring enough.
But take note that this hatred can be used for gain. White people love to talk about how much they hate their parents, so if you are in a situation where you need to gain a white person’s trust, ask them about their parents. But under no circumstances should you try to one up them, regardless of whether or not you were an orphan, abused, or watched your parents get shot. If you bring this up, the white person will never talk to you about their problems again, and you will be unable to gain their trust.
Stuff White People Like 
This is amazing. And so true. And will immediately be forwarded to every white person I know.
I’m at a lose for words. Do you have any special thoughts on San Francisco? I feel like I have tapped into the Matrix.
Keep up the good work my brother.
But of course, that was the plan. To parent a white child you have to instill the rule that that they WILL leave home at 18 and never return home other than at major holidays or when they had successfully produced more white children. Once the white kids have gone the white parents have the opportunity to “find themselves” or a younger wife (for white fathers) or arts and bitterness (for white mothers). To achieve this you have to make sure they completely hate you at 18 and can’t wait to leave home but… the plan doesn’t seem to work. How do you explain Boomerang white kids who come back and mess up white parents plans. Remember this works both ways… white parents don’t want their children to mess up their plans

Right there with you, never had a problem with my parents.
I love my parents, but hate my mother. Sometimes I wish I was an Italian or Black man with an automatic sense of reverence for my dear mama, but as a white woman it was written in the stars that I would forever hate her.
My dad, however, pays for my car insurance and gives me treats and money every time I see him, so I will always be daddy’s little girl. I think it’s worth making the distinction between white guys and white chicks on this one. But as a general rule, you’re totally right that white people hate their parents.
I love my parents, but, then again, I was raised by wolves in Siberia.
“’Uh, Bullshit. I love my parents. Always have. Thanks for generalising, though.

You guys must not have dropped out of college, tried to become a painter or spent time in a Thai prison yet.
This post, like many others, is more about “rich white people” than white people altogether. I hate my dad, and love my mom, and it has nothing to do with the petulant rich kid bullshit.
Of course, then again, I listen to NPR, watch indie films and am in love with everything Apple comes out with. So, yeah – Harden’s a honkey.
i ought to forward this to my damn sister.
I was just coming to the conclusion, at 36, that hating my parents was becoming boring and trite. And now I can see that it is also just sooooooo white. Thanks for getting my pale white ass out of this twenty year slump!
Funny blog! Thanks!
“My dad, however, pays for my car insurance and gives me treats and money every time I see him, so I will always be daddy’s little girl.”
white people favor the parent that spoils them with material goods, because they feel it makes up for their neglect during their childhood years.
Actually, most white people who hate their parents never had any truly bad experiences with them. The ones that do usually claim to forgive them because they accepted Christ, only to go back on crystal meth a month later. But then again, white people love irony.

I’m white and I love my parents. Will you accept me as a friend now?
Thank you for reminding me how much I loved my mother before she passed away two years ago.
-White person who does not hate her remaining parent, thank you very much.
I hate my mother for tearing apart the family and half-way ruining my life. I’m fine with my father, though.
I love my parents without reservation but I am fully aware of how unusual that is. I had a disgustingly well-adjusted family life, really.

Tough talking nonsense straight from an experienced liar. I’m pretty sure what you mean by that is “did their parents try to kill them” because that would be, you know, bad. Anything short of that is just one of lifes little things.
I remember the words of one Indian woman in a college paper:
“I listen to my friends with amazement as they talk about the “terrible twos” as if they expected emotional independence from a helpless baby.”
That pretty much sums it up.
Milestones for White Child:
Age 0.5:
Achieves emotional independence.
Age 5(boys, especially in the South):
Has mastered the ways of war, and can beat three or four older boys in single combat. Either that or he learns to be beat on, or to join groups for “mutual protection”.
“Only Wusses Run To Parents”-Kid in Supernatural, a TV show
Age 5
Learns Disipline, to avoid forced drugging, and has an iron clad sense of self-worth(boys and girls)
This will allow him/her to survive “School” where crazed women can take out whatever emotional problems they have on helpless children with no intervention from the parents. Except of course the parents Coming Down Hard on the problem, the child.
Age 12-14:
In many cases, learns how to lie continuously, because parents have adopted an American Justice way of upbringing. You know, where first time marijuana offenders go to jail. This is because biting your child like a rabid animal is fun. After all, the child can’t fight back, right?
One girl I went to high school with paid a speeding ticket herself, because she didn’t want to deal with the “discipline”, read insane, ridiciliously harsh punishment, of her insane parents. Later, her wonderful upbringing caused her to completely crack up.
Age 16:
Learns to Pay His Own Way. He is now a Man, without Inheritance or Support from his family. Pretty much a uniquely modern American invention, pretty much not present anywhere else.
Yeah, I can see how the strategy of Elegant Minimalism, except where rabid biting is concerned, might cause hatred.
Kicking and starving a dog will also have much the same effect.
Are you implying that no non-white people hate their parents?
I am one the fortunate ones who always felt love and not hate for my parents, but I know what you are speaking of. I’ve seen it so much from talking to others as they give me the shpeal on how crap their parents were.
Love the blog!!
“I hate my mother…My dad, however, pays for my car insurance and gives me treats and money every time I see him, so I will always be daddy’s little girl.”
You should immediately consider a career in prostitution. You seem to have the mindset down to a tee.
Southern white people LOVE their parents. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
It appears that white people like to deny their inherit whiteness. I’m like, 3/4 white, and I know I definitely went through a stage in my life when I absolutely loathed my mother. Of course, then I went to art school, survived off of carrots and black coffee for two months and learned how cruel and cold the world could be.
picture is perfect

Life can be especially hard when your mother cares more about the Sisterhood than her own child and doesn’t bother to teach you even the basics of cooking. Naturally, you didn’t bother to learn, because mommy has throughly programmed you to be dependent on women for cooking.
Even an idiot can cook relatively good meals for himself, teaching himself. Of course, the failure of your mother to teach you basic life skills is one of “lifes little things”.
A Real Man can Reinvent EVERYTHING from the ground up. And he WANTS TO. Being Immortal, if he takes ten years to learn everything he should have been taught by his parents, then he still has hundreds of years of normal life to look forward to. Or maybe not.
If you were really going in for the kill, you would have expanded this to explain how “White Girls who hate their Parents” = “Great Opportunity for Black Guys to Get Laid”.
But, that might have been off-putting and uncomfortable for the white readers that seem to be your bread and butter.
Ignore the haters. I think this is funny.
Damn after reading a bunch of these I must not be white even though my skin is as pastey as can be because I love my parents and think they are awesome and never hated them, not even in high school.

I’m white and I love my parents and my parents love their parents.
I bet you’re sure that IF your daddy wasn’t in jail/ decided to stick around / didn’t get shot in that gang fight he would have been great, huh?
I know this site is supposed to be a joke but this post is overstepping the mark. Without my parents I would be/have nothing.
I have to say you can’t designate this topic as a whites only post.
Teenagers only maybe.
hahahahaha. sooo true! I am one of the spoiled little rich kids that hated my parents for not letting me throw parties every night.
The picture is hilarious!
It’s funnier than whole damn essay accompanying it.
I’ve often found that people who have EVERY GOOD REASON to hate their parents (gay people, kids of alcoholics) actually hate them less than those who don’t. They seem to be more forgiving of their parents’ failures.
White people love having enlarged egos and thinking this blog is attacking them personally. This stuff is comedy, c’mon! But yes, I am white and I only resent my father.
I’m yet to read one of these blogs that are about white peoples love of therapists yet (though I’m sure I just haven’t gotten to it yet) but am I the only one who finds that anyone who has been to a therapist’s capacity to blame everything on their parents is magnified by ten fold?
Definite connection there…
This usually is by white kids having rich parents, than the kids become commies, protest, wear che guevara shirts, get arrested at a protest, move and live in squalor in the mountains of Peru and when there’s no more money, call mom and dad to bail you out with Western Union. lol
I HATE my parents!!
This is a topic that I’m frequently marveled about.
It seems to be a legitimate syndrome in which white people blame their parents for their own misery, dysfunctions, failures, etc.
It’s always struck me as quite peculiar.
—
I hope that one of these entries will deal with white kids who cuss their parents.
I was 30 years old before I could even cuss while in the _same room_ as my mother, but so many of these white kids actually cuss their parents, to their face, and by name!
Stunning.
another thing white people like is how black people etc generalize us like this. i have parents who were very strict and yet i still dont hate them. just because were not black and live on wellfare does’t mean we have a hard life.
p.s. one thing white people like is to see black people serve them food and having there mom flip the burgers and there sons hand them to us.
No one can ruin your life. It’s your life, you can do with it whatever you decide or choose.
This whole website has hit the nail on the head. White people! Quit being so defensive! We’ve been found out!
I can’t stand my mom!
Buckethead is white, yet he loves his parents.
I’m Mexican, yet I resent mine heavily but ultimately don’t give a fuck because once they die I’m free, one down one to go.
Oh, except my mom managed to re-marry and have an unexpected child when I was 16 because she was under the impression of being barren, so yeah, they have managed to fuck me over after they’re dead.
Man, I resent them.
But I never cussed or even yelled at them, nor did I tell them that I hated them, that kind of stuff was out of the question more because I had a sense of severity on the issues we had than because of the repercussions of such defiance, something which white kids seem to be completely devoid of.
I live in whats known as “the more affluent area of Tucson, AZ”, and if there’s one thing that gets me raging its this topic.
Here’s an observation of daily life for Oro Valley kids. We’ll use models called ‘Sage’ and ‘Madison’.
Sage or Madison usually wake up in their master suite size bedrooms, walls of course covered with emo bands and way too many pictures of them and their friends making an odd face and throwing up the peace sign like they’re Mary-Kate Olson. Once they get dressed in their pre-torn jeans they argue mom and dad to let them borrow the car to get to their overly funded private schools. Here they lament about being depressed and misunderstood while eating sushi and texting on Blackberries purchased by their medicated parents.
Once home from school they look for rebellious things to do to pass the time. Much like the movie “Thirteen”. More often then not tweens are dropped off at the local mall by dad, but not before suckering the bastard into giving them $200 dollars. Once achieved they roll their eyes and slam the door. Hating your parents is sooo cool.
While in the mall they meet up with their ”torn” friends and talk about underground hip-hop and how they’re going to decorate their apartments once they move out of mom and pops. They then like to find the movie theatre I’m in and open up their cell phones to text with the fucking LCD light glowing away.
Long story short- These little bastards don’t have a damn thing to complain about. Life is sooooo hard what with your parents buying you a car as soon as you turn 16, paying your college tuition, room/board, cell phone bills, and virtually everything short of toilet paper, which the kid buys with the money he/she grudgeingly forks over with money earned from their part-time jobs at Starbucks that they’re at only because “its the right thing to do”. These kids go to Europe as soon as they graduate (or even before, for that matter) and say they came back “a more cultured person”. They also develop drug/drinking addictions until they are forced into rehab. This is usually pre-planned. Rich white kids love a marred past and street cred. They sell their prescription drugs and do nothing with their degree’s which were practically purchased for them until they ABSOLUTELY have to.
Fuck little rich white kids who complain. Send ’em too the other side off town, the one where I grew up poor, unsafe and had to actually work, and they’d be crawling back to mommy and daddy in no time.
Also, I happen to appreciate my parents and don’t blame them for anything in my life. They did their best and happened to be flawed, but made me who I am today.
P.S.- How did I get to the “more affluent part of Tucson, Arizona”?
And why am I complaining?
A. Not my choice, personally. We moved here for the husbands job.
B. I complain because I’ve had enough of being cut-off and tailed by 16 year olds in BMW’s as I curse them all to hell in my used ’99 Hyundai Elantra purchased at a shaddy mexican mans “used car yard”.
maybe you could help them by telling them not to by or sell the drugs, what do you think. growing up rich is fun. growing up is good too. http://www.drugrehabreferral.com/
Amanda, please leave the lengthy replys to people who have something witty or interesting to say.
I mean replies… ok nevermind… I can’t seem to contribute something intelligent either.
My husband is always complaining about how much he doesn’t like his Dad, and every few months they just stop speaking….I didn’t get it before but this post helped! Really!
This should really be white *Americans*. I’m a doctor who has lived and worked on every inhabited continent on earth and I have never met such spoilt brats as white American kids – and no, not all of them, obviously – but so many really do seem to hate their parents and everybody who isn’t exactly like them. The other day I was horrified by the bigotry in my surgery of a 19 year old explaining – with extreme bitchiness – to his brother how all women everywhere were bitches, especially ‘black’ ones. And so were gays. Bit of closet case resentment there, I’d say.
You could take this as a white person bragging about travel like your post on that subject but I have been told I am not white or even European and my blue eyes must be contacts because I’m Italian. Must be why I love my parents. Only white Americans are really white, the rest of the world is too suspect to produce ‘real’ white or ‘real’ European people. Thank god.
Keep up the good work, it’s very funny.
u….my friend….are a genious. GREAT BLOG!!! WOW! Ur wisdom is…beautiful. My mind is smoking right now from the truths and wisdom u have offered me. Thank you……..wow…lol!
Thanks for the perspective. I think the root cause is affluent people, without material worries, get invested in their psychological problems. And while few care to resent their parents for material lack (it’s low, it’s petty, and kids without lots of money don’t suffer as much as adults without lots of money), lots of people resent their parents for their personality flaws. After all, resenting your parents is a personality flaw and part-and-parcel of the whole deal!
[…] discovered recently that white people hate their parents, and this is a “just sayin’” […]
[…] #17 Hating their Parents […]
As part of the role of racial self hatred whites play in American society in order to prove to the white elite they are not racists, white people are supposed to hate their white parents and white women are supposed to reject and drug (improve) the nature of their white sons.
I love this site. For all of the white people taking this personally I would like to offer another take on this phenomenon. I dont think its as simple as ‘white people hate their parents and other races of people do not’. I just think its more culturally acceptable among white people to complain and bitch about their parents in public and in casual conversation. I think its just considered almost blasphenmous in other ethnicities to talk about your parents in public. If I (black female) said ‘ i hate my mother, shes a bitch.’ among a group of black friends someone would gasp and someone would say ‘thats horrible, dont say that, your going to hell!.’ Same comment thrown out by a white female among her white friends most likely wont get her ostracized. everyone might not agree that its a nice thing to say but they probably wont feel like they are moving themselves closer to hell fire being friends with someone who would say that.
RE: 3#19
Okay, so you’re not racist…how about bitter?
fantastic
Hell that is just a majority of teens in America if not the world. I am still alarmed by the complete morons who keeps saying that these generalizations are true because they may know a few people that this applies to so now white people do it. Here is one more for you white people who read this and think its true are fucking morons.
I’m extremely white (Sun burns me) and I love my parents for being my parents. However I hate them as people. They are both drug addicts and moochers, I’ve been supporting them and financially independent since 15.
Of course I am from an extremely impoverished white family. So not really white for not having a vault of coins to swim through.
I know, I know… I don’t get the hate your parents thing, unless your parents really did something to deserve it, and I don’t mean not buying you the iPod you wanted on your birthday or crap like that. Anyone can get frustrated with their parents, but how can you hate and bash someone who is just trying to look out for you? Your parents don’t give you a curfew or whatever because they hate you and are trying to ruin your social life, they do it because they don’t want you to get hurt. Me, I belong to the class of white people who couldn’t really afford to hate their parents. I don’t know my dad too well so I can’t comment on him, but I love my mom and I know she cares about me and has always done her best. Not everyone is so lucky, if you parents do give you a curfew and make you do your homework then be thankful that you have parents that care about you.
oh yeah, i am 36+ and still HATE my mother, my dad is ok but i HATE HATE HATE my mother, i only hope my kids don’t hate me when they are grown. however i know its not just me cause my 2 brothers & sister too hates her.
also your parents don’t have to do anything “really terrible”
maybe just calling you “a little shit” and telling you you are a nothing is terrible enough and a mother who thinks she was June Cleaver and still won’t ever say she did anything but was a great mother ha
My parents are from North Africa and as soon as I was about 7 years old I started noticing how much white american kids loved rebelling behind their parent’s backs, constantly whining about how mommy or daddy don’t give them enough, incessantly finding ways to ridicule their parents. Hell, apparently there’s a little white boy on my street who cusses his own mother out. It’s kind of horrifying, really.
And I am not at all saying I wasn’t spoiled myself (I grew up in a middle-upper class family) but I didn’t straight out disrespect my parents so often like most of the white kids did.
And a lot of white parents see their children as a “nuisance” and can’t wait till the kids move out.
A lot of (not all) middle-upper class white families are not close in general.
So, in a nutshell, AWESOME post! I was cracking up, and that picture is just perfect!
lara and all the others, yes i too grew up “privileged” private school, comfortable home, however it was not us kids who were always wanting more material things it was dear sweet mother, and we would never dared curse or talk back to our parents. we were terrified of them. I forgive my dad after all he was married to that witch for 20 some years. my mother still belittles and says horrible things about me in front of my kids of course she is just “teasing” ah well i wasted enough $$ in the shrink’s office, im all over it now. (hey isn’t that another thing us white people love, our shrinks) love this site its too funny. funny how white we all are yikes
Uhmm, are you suggesting that Asians aren’t into the same kind of hating-the-parents hobby?
Please – you yellow folks take the whole family angst thing to a whole new level! Intense filial piety has ruined plenty of asians, FOBs and ABCs alike.

If they have suffered permanent brain damage as a result of being drugged throughout Middle School and High School, will your Near Divine Self then allow them to feel a little upset?
My mother didn’t do this to me, out of parnoia, but my dear sweet father sure wanted to.
The blatant incompetence of the doctor in this post is more than proved by the fact that he has fled, like a mad dog, to the only country with a tolerance for absolute incompetence in their doctors, America. Because the worst Health Care on earth for the price is another thing White People Like.
How many people have died because of this self-righteous thugs incompetence and shear not-give-a-dammness?
Yeah we may have problems with our parents, but at least I know who my daddy is.

[…] #17 Hating their parents […]
Yeah we may have problems with our parents, but at least I know who my daddy is.
Please stop with the racist slurs. I am black and my parents have been married for almost 20 years. All of my friends (black, white, hispanic, and asian) know who their father’s are.
I really don’t take the blog seriously. The blog applies to a small number of yuppies.
I’m not white, BUT I do not like my parents that much.
My parents are dead. . . Now I only have myself to hate.
that is because white people are the only people who know who their parents are
minorities then hate white people, because they know who their parents are!!!!!!!
talking as a 15 year old sophmore currently living in knoxville, tn i can say that ive seen my fair share of snobby, rich, unappreciative, white kids. i grew up in saudi arabia and before moving to tennesse, lived in rockville, md for 3 years. my parents are immigrants from turkey and ethiopia and taught me about respect, manners and taught me to have an open mind. i didnt see too much of kids hating their parents in rockville, but when i moved to tennesse, i was completely shocked. i couldnt believe how kids would get upset about how their parents wouldnt buy them cars for their birthdays or made them share a room with their siblings. im mixed but ive always loved my parents so much, even more so in the past couple of years since i havent been living with them or even seen them for more than 1 month a year. but im grateful for all that theyve done for me and what upsets me most about these kids is that they cant appreciate what they have and i know its cliche but they dont even realize until its gone. and when its gone its hte hardest thing to cope with. oooh sorry, this was longer than i expected : P
Yup, you nailed it girl, ONLY white people hate their parents. Furthermore, ALL white people hate their parents. All other races, cultures, and ethnicities love their parents without question. Thank goodness I ran across this blog to teach me the ways of white people. I guess this means I need to start hating my dad, huh???
White people love astrology. Its gives them an excuse for their personality flaws.
one word: Eminem.
‘Yer damn skippy I hate my egg and sperm donors. My sperm donor was a miserable, dead beat alcoholic and my egg donor was an abusive narcissistic personality disordered harpy. We were poor and it was all my fault because ‘ya see, I wasn’t planned and “if abortion had been legal I wouldn’t be here”.
I think it’s funny that pathetic white people are trying to make this list inrto some black and white war when the blogger is white himself. Guess the humoreless baastards actually DONT appreciate Irony after all.
Isnt Hiedi Klum white? did Flavio marry her? No. SEAL DID. Bloody morons.
Just because white people dont use the term “baby daddy”
but “partner” doesnt change the fact that they too have bloody babby daddies
What about parents who hate their kids? My parents loathe me, no matter what I accomplish.
SB — people who think you are not Italian because you have blue eyes are pretty stupid. I once knew an Italian girl with red hair and blue eyes. Not Italians are dark complexioned, especially in the northern part of the country.
People, lighten up. This is HUMOR!
this is because white Americans don’t know how to discipline their children. That is why they hate their parents.
Ummm . . . I think some of you might be missing the point.
This is funny stuff!
BTW, I love my parents, too. Always have.
Anonymouses,
If that is true, congratulations. However, any person over the age of two has likely been angry enough to say or even think they hate their parents. Whether or not they meant it…whether or not they remember it.
A high-schooler actually paid for a speeding ticket that she incurred? I’m trying to be sensitive, I really am, but I’m not impressed…most drivers would have to do that anyway.
IM ABOUT AS WHITE AS THEY COME, SCOTCH , IRISH DECENT. I DONT TAN JUST BURN. I GREW UP THINKING MY PARENTS WERE ABOUT THE COOLEST PEOPLE I KNEW. IN THE METRO DETROIT OF THE SIXTIES GENERATION OUR HOUSE WAS THE PLACE ALLTHE KIDS HUNG OUT. MY PARENTS WERE CALLED SIR OR MAM,MR OR MRS. BY ALL MY FRIENDS, AND THE FRIENDS OF MY OLDER BROTHERS (SOME OF OUR FRIENDS WERE OUTLAWS, HELL’S ANGELS, CHILDREN OF MAFIA FAMILIES) OUT OF RESPECT AND ADMIRATION.
MY PARENTS WERE NOT DRUGGIES OR DRUNKS, THEY TREATED EVERYONE WITH RESPECT, AND WERE EAGER TO GIVE PEOPLE SECOND CHANCES. MY DAD BELIEVED BOY’S WILL BE BOY’S , MOM HAD THE HEART TO MAKE ALL KIDS WELCOMED IN OUR HOME. I TEAR UP THINKING THAT YOU COULD PLACE ALL WHITES AS PARENT HATER’S. GUESS YOU WERE NOT BLESSED WITH GREAT PARENTS LIKE MINE.
FOR THAT I FEEL DEEPLY FOR YOU.
Kinda true, from a white man’s perspective. I think that we hate our parents because of the lack of social evolving on our parents’ behalf and the whole generation gap thing. White people tend to exhibit more “Indigo Child” characteristics and subsequently require a level of adaptation and evolution that our parents cannot give us. We constantly look at our parents as dinosaurs, who really are “out of the loop” when it comes to modern issues. This, fundamentally, creates a very passionate hate for our parents at certain times of our own lives. One thing ALL races need to do is understand that children being born today (on the grand scale) are spiritually more evolved than us. That goes for every generation. The next generation has us beat. Bottom line. We only make problems when we try to deny that.
Halarious. What is with all the white people angst about their parents? Everyone hates their parents at one point in life..ITS called PUBERTY!! This is the best blog ever. Keep it going.
I disagree about some of the things have done in raising me, but I don’t hate them.
Sometimes when we get into arguments(usually over meaningless things) my parents say they think I don’t love them, so I constantly have to assure them I do.
I’m white by the way.
white people love replying to these and disagreeing with them, even getting offended by them.
Im white, and I completely resent and HATE my 1960’s brainwashed liberal no good parents. Specifically my step father who is an NPR listening fag, with half a brain and a limited vocabulary due to all of the brain damage from drug use.
My mother, is a stupid 60’s whore, who is a spoiled trust fund baby who can only think about herself. Incapable of meeting any men worth a shit after driving my father crazy, she married a no good retard liberal with 3 kids.
Consequently, all of us kids are hopeless drug addicts due to the abuse we have suffered from these stupid civil rights era fuckheads we have for parents.
#9 will like the irony in this:
I spent a bunch of money going to therapy because I thought I hated my parents. Than I became a therapist, and made all that money back from people who really had good reasons to hate their parents. Then I became a parent, and realized that I truly loved my parents. Now my kids are in therapy.
#97 Would you like my card?
Right again, yes I did despise my parents for many years!!! Now I have adult children and one of them is currently pissed off and won’t talk to me!!!!
I ❤ my maternal and paternal units but my Indian friends absolutely loathes his mother and merely despises his father. Sad times we live in…
This is by far the funniest blog I’ve ever read and I’d have to admit it hits pretty close to home most of the time. That doesn’t make me ashamed to be a cracker, but it’s refreshing to hear the stereotypes and be able to laugh about them.
lol, i’ve noticed hatting you ‘strict’ or ‘old fashion’ patents is very vogue for Asians and Indians as well. Perhapse its cause there more middle class white, asian and indian people …. and middle class kids can AFFORD to hate their parents.
Happy to say that I love my parents as much as I love my children and my grandchildren. THAT IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT!
Maybe I love them so dearly because they are so loveABLE.
Well, here’s my reply–they hate their parents so much, they can’t wait to graduate at 17 and 18 and move away to Pennsylvania, New York or California to have their own freedom and hit the big time. I could see it in some of their eyes when I was in high school back in the ’80s.
It’s not that we “hate” our parents, so much as it’s our worst nightmare to be like them when we grow up, lol.
It seems to me that if someone tried to one up the white person about their parents, they would be ultra understanding about it. Because it’s very important that white people are sensative to the the plight of others. Although, this is only if you grew up in a poor area or if you are not white.
Lighten up, there’s nothing inherently racist here, just some funny observations! Obviously, these observations are not true of all white people, but you have to admit that a lot of them ring true. We should all be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes.
whoever wrote this is a fool.
Love my parents.
But the stereotype may still hold true.
So u want a medal??????
[…] #17 Hating their Parents […]
Do you know my parents? I swear I think they schemed just to make sure I didn’t want to stay beyond my 18th birthday. Then, when they kicked me out, they called it “TOUGH LOVE”. As if!
[…] #17 Hating their Parents […]
white people like to correct spelling mistakes… it’s loss, not lose
Yes indeed
Issues much? Nothing in SB’s comment mentioned drugs. America sure as hell overdiagnoses and medicates AD(H)D, but you have absolutely no basis for your libelous accusations that SB is incompetent or doesn’t care – nor for the “near-divine self” or “mad dog” labels.
And your comments regarding America being the only country with a tolerance for absolute incompetence in their doctors is laughable. America may well have some lousy doctors, but a) so do lots of other countries (trust me, I’ve actually been and worked there), b) it also has some of the best in the world, and c) Americans are far and away the most likely to sue their doctors, even for poor outcomes that have nothing to do with the doctor’s skill, care, or lack thereof – I would say that Americans are in fact the least likely to tolerate incompetence.
Also, why have you assumed that SB is male?
Hm…. I’ve always loved my parents and still do. I think they wanted to kick me out at 18, but since I left on my own at that age they try their hardest to get me to come back. Eh well… still funny blog.
I pooped my pants
What goes around, comes around.
soooooo true. never one up them, they always want to be the one that has suffered, b/c no other part of their life can accomplish that argument.
white people feel so entitled, they DON’T REALIZE how much they had it growing up, which is why they hate their parents — ask a white person about their parents and they will go on and on —> they also love to talk about themselves.
I love that on http://www.stuffethnicpeoplelike.com they have “listening to your parents”.
OHHHHHHHHHHH NOEESSSS!!!!!!!
For real!!!
LOL good, so i’m not the only one…i got screamed on for saying “what the hell”! maybe i’ll take another chance on that one when i’m 30!
I am only recently realizing that people don’t have to leave home at 18 and become so independent that they essentially turn their back on their parents. Only since settling down in a small town do I see that plenty of families have been here for three and four generations. There are extended families in rural America where kids move away, returning only at holidays! In my family, people moved away as far back as I can count: me from my parents in Seattle, my parents from theirs in California, my grandparents from theirs in Arkansas, and my great-grandparents from theirs in North Carolina. Before that, my knowledge stops, but at some point, someone left England and someone else left Holland and someone else left Belgium and here I stand today, on the shores of the Pacific with rain falling on me.
Also, in my family, the generations are very long – this is the great white middle class lie of waiting to reproduce until you are thirty or older.
Seeing families who are all in one place, and who are grandparents by the time they are 35 or 36, rather than first time parents, is really a wonder to me. These children in these families have great-great grandparents who are alive at the same time as they are! The eighth graders where I teach write their grandparent parent reports about people who were born in 1966! And here I am with a toddler and I was born just in 1969! About the grandfather born in 1966, he is white, grew up in the area, married right out of high school, and he is laughing at all of us who have toddlers at the age of 38.
Yes our problems show up in our increased incarceration, high level of single mothers, fatherless homes, highest level of unemployment, and low educational performance… wait, opps, sorry that’s not us, lol. Why would anyone want to gain our trust? Looking at this post it is obvious we are so neurotic and lame, I think you’d be best if you staid away from us and denied us your coolness. That way you can enjoy the party life living from check to check while we and the even squarer asians work on the space program together. Just a thought, stay away from us with your coolness and we will stay away from you with our squarness and then everyone will be happy.
…because I LOVE your mother.
I’m white and my parents annoy the heck out of me. I wouldn’t say hate but….
thats ridiculous !!!! minorities dont know who their parents are.
where are you on mars with an antenna ????
how can you hate your parents. Is this a white thing ?
I have never ever heard this before.
My father whacked the hell out of me when I got out of line.
My mother through stuff at me and then told my father to handle it when he was working.
If my parents did not discipline me growing up who knows where my black ass would be.
These comments about hating your parents are ridiculous.
How can anybody say that about their mom and dad ?
Love this blog.
Going over to what educated black people like.
That is some truth over there.
Who’s with me ?
I am sorry everybody white black asian latin loves watermelon. If you dont like watermelon are crazy and a communist
I am definitely not that white. I love my parents, talk to my mom every day and have the folks over to my house at least twice a week. My whole family is huge and close but we’re from the Mediterranean, so there’s a whole lot of yelling, hugging, kissing and spicy food involved.
My parents were very strict and always rounded out their punishments with “You’ll thank me some day”, and I do!!!
LOL!!!
your description about your family history up to where you are now is quite moving, i know what you mean about the severing of ties in white urban families, i am trying to be different by creating a different home atmosphere and telling the kids they can live with us as long as they want, and hopefully they might want to, we’ll see 😉 Best of luck with your young family
i’m gay and I like shit. ps-i’m white. and gay. gay gay gay gay gay

So white I glow in the dark, but I love my parents and loved my grandparents. But a surprising number of these entries are uncomfortably spot on. Unearned White Privilege #287: the ability to believe, without ever consciously thinking about it, that you can’t be stereotyped.

i hate my parents they are so mean to me i hate that and i wish they were dead and stay dead
haha parents
I hate people who hate their parents. You wouldn’t exist without them, just like you wouldn’t exist without Me.
http://stuffgodhates.wordpress.com/
Ah yes, nothing like pure, unconditional, financially dependent love.
White people love to lay absurd guilt trips.
Why is your font color black? Thank you for reminding me how much I loved Family Matters before it was cancelled.
Heartless bitch.
kill my landlord, kill my landlord
I am not white but I agree with the spelling correction.
Wow…..see that’s why I’m glad I’m not white…I can stay with my parents for as long as I want.
I love my parents…always will, even if i say i dont….people always say stuff they regret later on, and your parents only do the stuff they do cause they love you…..well in most cases…in others the parents just never wanted children but had them anyway and now they cant take care of them or cause they’re psycho paths..9if thats how you spell it…if not feel free to correct me..I’m referring to Anonymous)
you need help and u sound like a kid in my class…weird
I agree with you one hundred percent…..u rock!!!
how are you a former white kid….did you do what Michael Jackson did but in reverse.
You white parents with your time-outs and groundings. Spank your kids with a 2×4 when they deviate. The occasional beat down would be healthy for their minds as well.
I am white.
MY parents are not strict but they didn’t allow me to drink, or smoke weed. And I don’t and never will hate my parents.
i even hate my husband’s parents.
hahahaha yes,
This blog is awesome, everyone hates their parents sometimes because we all … turn into them … especially white girls always like their mums …
note to readers, if ever dating a white girl look at her mum this will give you a giood indication as to where you are going in 20 years …

I guess I am sort of those people you are now observing. I actually love my parents. They watch my kids while I work. They live 2 miles away. My older brother lives 4 miles away and my other brother lives 30 miles away. My grandma lived 2 houses away from me until she passed away earlier this year. I love it! I could never move away… 🙂 Call me crazy!!
Oh, and I had my first child at age 25 and I hope to make both of my kids 100% independent by the time I am 48 or so! 🙂 Good luck with your little one!!!
I agree.
lol, thats so true, and I should know, I hate my parents…well, I hate my dad…….
hahahahahahhahhah this is funny man…..my friend in highschool hated her parents for no reason!!!!! I guess thats every teen, but she like really hated them i was a little scared for them
So true!! Man, black are afraid to hate their parents! If I EVER told my mother I hated her growing up, I’d be dead AND homeless….hhahahaha.
this is very true..at one point or another everyone has hated their parents…if you love them growing up because they let you do whatever you want, your gonna hate them in the future for letting you do whatever you want..even if you have no parents..you stil hate them 😛
You seem alarmed by the “morons” who think these generalizations about White people are true, and yet White people take stupid generalizations about Black people as truth all the time …….even on our nightly news,…. and that doesn’t seem to be much of a discussion or problem to the people in this country either. Only the generalizations about Blacks are much more harmful. As a Black woman with White friends and White co-workers……..I’ve been spoken to condescendingly many a time by people that were less educated and less travelled than I am. “Oh, you’re so articulate!” is an example of a stupid comment said by someone I had just met. When I dated a White guy, his whole tone was kind of like, he was going to help me out. When he found out that I was progressing in my career faster than he was and had more degrees……he freaked!
Omg I don’t hate my parents!
I understand people who do… but I think its more of an American thing lol. My mother hates her parents but my dad didn’t hate his lol.
All my american cousins too. Hehe. Just because I think you’re bang on, white society is geared that way in the US… I think ethnic minorities, even European ones such as the Poles and the Irish have better relationships with their children because they treat them like people, not like projects or something on an assembly line… a bit of sport here, a musical instrument there… awards and straight As etc and the finished product will be perfect. Its awful!
And you’re right it never works. Referring to something else you wrote on… remember how Vanessa was at the beginning in Juno? That’s why white Americans anyways, don’t get along with their parents 😛
LOL! “carbon copy of the OC”…so true!
I recently saw a book called, “How to Traumatize Your Children” about this very thing.
Yeah, that’s usually the case but not in mine. I’m hispanic & I hated my mom growing up; now I just can barely stand her… she was & is a miserable so & so. They come in all shapes & sizes, I guess but most of my white friends got along really well with their parents & I was actually jealous of that!

You white people are so lost…
[…] Rant About My Parents #17 Hating their parents Stuff White People Like __________________ Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different […]
This blogger has made me relize that i am really a white teenager in a black teenager’s body(not that i would switch). Thely thing is i am not an atheist and i hate being outside.
Some white parents can be EXTREMELY strict with their kids and it comes back and bites them in the ass.
I think these parents are in some serious denial about their kids. My ex-boyfriend’s parents were whiter than white and OVERLY OBSESSED with their son’s academics and personal life.
Don’t get me wrong, I can hate my parents at times too but they at least gave me room to breathe.
I just turned twenty, in college, and have to say that two years ago, when I was in high school, if half the parents knew what their kids were doing, they’d realize that being OVERLY STRICT and uptight makes their teens unable to confide in them
And, the white parents who think only “thugs” do drugs should see the kids in wealthy suburbia.
I live in an all black suburb (hard to believe eh?) and when i was young i lived in brooklyn ny but we moved to long island. We never really had any financial troubles but even though we (me and my sister) live in almost identical enviornments as white suburbans the upbringing was completely diff. (i learned this b/c i switched out of public middle sch. to private on acedemic scholarships (suprized you there too eh?) where there are mostly whites) Caucasian students with me seem to have a sense of entitlement that it kind of disgusting yet evokes jealosy kinda in me when a failing student gets 13 phones a year and 3 ipods and a mac pro while i a A and B student has a 2001 phone hand-me-down and shares the family computer. It seems caucasians in my school (parents) feel that money can buy happiness and they will just grow out of it, as where in my house we get smacked in the lip for saying “no” in any circumstance and shutting up is the key to happiness
can anyone explain this to me……plz reply
made a mistake: public middle school to private high school
I really don’t understand why you guys hate your parents, because if there is one thing that White people really, really like is babies and kids. They talk all the time about having babies, then when they have them, they talk about them all the time and then when they grow up they still treat them like babies. What’s not to love.
When you’re White you can threaten your parents into babysitting by saying, “If you don’t babysit little Heath tonight, you’ll never see him again.”
They’re all like, “Oh sure I’m sorry, of course we’ll keep little Heath. Don’t take our grandbaby away.”
Let me try that with my Black parents.
They say, “We don’t give a damn about seeing his little Black ass and while you’re at it, don’t you come back either.”
And we don’t hate them. We laugh and then say we’re going out to the car to get something, hop in and drive off, leaving the kids and getting a free babysitter.
I know where you’re coming with this. I’m Iraqi-American, my parents immigrated here from Iraq and I’ve never been able to understand white people. I’ve lived in Chicago since I was about a year old and I live in the Westside so there aren’t too many white people around. I’ve also attended an Islamic school all my life where about 97% of the students are Arab immigrants or the children of immigrants. So I don’t really have much exposure to white people but when I do, I hate it. I agree with you, and it kinda makes me jealous that white parents always seem to think that buying their kids ipods, phones, even cars every week will somehow force their kids into respect. In my culture, you respect your parents, they raised you and you don’t have the right to hate them.
White people are twisted.
“White people are twisted.”
Start by working on that mental block and your jealousy of white parent’s affluence, and you’ll find more than any other race whites are accepting.
just sayin
So uh, I love my mom and dad. A lot. I’d die for ’em hands down. They’re my best friends. Call me pathetic but HAH! It’s worth it if I get to break the stereotype. 😛
Hey Alex, I wish my kids were like you. I loved them all their lives. As soon as they got married and didn’t need me, no more, they dumped me.
I gave them everything, love, support, material possesions even when we couldn’t afford it, even a first class education which both my wife and I don’t have but all I get now, is psychological abuse.
It’s killing both my wife and I because we went through so much with these kids.
I just can’t get over it why all 3 are so mean to us – it breaks my heart.
They’re only nice to us if we can do something for them.
I’m white and I love my parents. sort of . They never bought me everything I wanted just what I needed and maybe a little extra nothing more. And when i was bad i was smacked.
I believe that what I hear right now is the deafening sound of no one caring.
you’re awesome
My parents are white but they have never just given me things. Everything I have, I’ve worked to get for myself. I love them for that. They teach me to work hard and have respect. I don’t think its about being white I think it’s about being SPOILED.
Me too lol
I did not get what I wanted because I had to work to get money….
but other then that I was fine.
my dad is ex 2 on here and is trying to turn me in to ex 1
lol
Tai, I am a mom who has 5 children and 2 step children. Went through an abusive marriage of 17 yrs. and an abusive divorce for 8 yrs + continuing years. (divorce never ends abuse when one has to confront continued hatred) I feel what you have written, but in a different situation. At 36, I took on 3 jobs to counteract the BK my ex filed, in attempt to cause me to lose a house that was in my family for over 30 years, and put me and our 5 children out on the street. The jobs I had #1-(Full time City Building Clerk) #2-(Weed Abatement Business – which required me to cut weed off of hillsides, continuing for 2- long years of a County Contract (which ultimately paid off my mortgage) and (20 Gardening accounts – yes cutting grass and pulling weeds) I worked 7 days a week, non-stop for 2 straight year. My ex’s action were fruitless in trying to destroy me financial. So he turned his anger to our children in bad mouthing their mother, and belittling me as a person (let alone their mother).
I will never forget, to my death bed, the day our 15 yr. old son’s spued his comments to me, after returning from visitation with his father, at the same time I returned from one of my gardening jobs exhausted, (after working a regular 8 hr day at my City Job), yet gathering strength to prepare dinner for my children, I quietly cried, and my son witnessed my tears. Angrily and heartlessly he snapped at me, “You just feel sorry for yourself!” To this day, 8 years after they were spoken, they still hurt as much as the day they were said. My son is no longer 15, but now 23, and so much more has transpired, but so little room and time to write. My son indicates to his sisters that he is so lost, confused, and ashamed about what he has negatively done and said to and about me as his mother, and what lies he has believed, that his father has fed him about me, as his mother. Yet, my son has faiiled to approach me to set anything right!
My point in all of this is, I can feel your pain as a parent, who sacrifices all of your own needs for your children, yet you receive no appreciation, no recognition, no love, only redicule. Please find the poem, “Be Good to Your Parents”
it’s insperational.
For me, it seems the simplicity of “Right and Wrong” has gone by the way side. Actions of hatred, greed, and society gain, are obviously far outweighing, that which parents today feel ar appropriate behaviors.
But do white parents hate thier kids in return and want to boot them out as soon as they get to 16? At least that is the impression all non-whites have. ‘White people treat their dogs better than their children’, so they say in the non-white world. It seems harsh, but is it true? Enlighten please.
I’ve never heard that in the Non-White Community…just that White kids….are just spoiled little kids who make up reasons to hate their Parents unjustifiably. Unfortunately, the majority….do dislike their parents for no rightful reason…that I know from Experience and white friends…
Accepting…the race most prone to Ignoring racism. Claiming it doesn’t exist? Fyi: That furthers it, or how about the ones who naturally believe that Black’s just need a good White person to show them the RIGHT way in life. Yet, they can’t keep their 5 year old kids from cussing at them in front of others and obviously can’t control their children. White’s think they are being accepting, and holy, but honestly it just comes off as a “I i know what your going through even though I am white and have never known what you are going through so listen to me because I think therefor I am able to tell you the exact reason to fix it…even if it’s wrong”.
I’m a white teenager and I’ve got a pretty good relationship with my parents, and vice-versa. But almost of all my friends despise there parents for no reason and whenever I’m with their families it’s basically torture, all you hear is arguing and making fun of each other. In my experience it’s usually the kids with the problem, although this isn’t always the case. Usually the parents do care abut their kids and the kids hate their parents.
hidden pain- as far as i can see, your son was absolutely right. you’re sitting on your computer complaining to random people on the internet about how much trouble you’ve gone through in your life. you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself.
I think being overly strict is going to force your kids away from you in the long run.. as is trying to buy them off with goods.
I value the fact that my parents let me have a voice in our house and didn’t treat me like a dog that had to obey every little thing they said. Ya, I got into *some* trouble… but none like some other kids I saw.
In the end, I felt I could trust my parents and actually opened up to them more than a lot of other people I knew who said they wished they were that close… this included friends of other races who felt extreme disconnection with their parents’ old school ways of thinking.
I DO though feel the need to over analyze my childhood and relationships with my parents though, hahaha… I’m hoping though it’ll make me a better parent myself in the end.
I’m also assuming parents tend to buy their kids off, because they themselves can be bought easily.
Our media also pushes little white boys and girls to want this and want that when all they see is themselves in toy commericals. Parents get sucked into this crap too. The mother who had to have the designer stroller and handbag, is going to want to buy the best piece of crap for her kid, even if her kid is a jackass. It’s ridiculous.
This one may actually be very true.
The white people who hate their parents are the ones in “Christian” families… especially Baptists.
As my parents’ see their lives coming to a close, they are suddenly spending every possible second with their church activities (after not attending for nearly 20 years).
Baptists are the worst Christians. They try to control everything you do, they try to make you believe that everything you do is bad.
No pants or shorts on females (EVER! Unless no guys are around)… — Finally was able to have a pool party at a member’s house when I was a kid… Oh, had to have a day for the guys and a different day for the girls.
Wow, that was exciting… was forced to go.
No Halloween… dressing up as The Six Million Dollar Man as a 10 year old is EVIL!
No spending of money on Sunday, no watching TV, no “Little Rascals” or “Abbott & Costello” on Sunday afternoon TV. No Sporting events, nothing at all.
Be a slave to Jesus! (by the way, God doesn’t exist).
that last part was 110% true
How many people are reading this blog with you?
Whenever I used to watch tv shows back in the day, I was always amazed when the little 15 year old white girl with her own room and big house, would yell ” I hate u mom, leave me alone!!!!”
That wouldn’t have flown in my house, maybe its because we were three to a room! Or maybe my momma taught me to respect her at any early age. Never could get away with the “smart-mouthed” thing as a kid. Uh uh. No way!
opposite, but equally scarring mistake:
private middle school to public school
…went from a class of 9 to a class of 200. literally.
i know/knew lots of kids from different cultures who acted the same way as the “whites” you describe…don*t think that has to do w/ race, as much as it has to do w/ socioeconomic standing.
i*m a white person that went to private school…not because we had a lot of money, but because my father was the janitor and so the school gave us a discount. my parents worked their butts off to give me that education, and i def. DON*T hate them.
I absolutely HATE my parents… they make me sooooo angry. This one time I was going to ask if I could sleep over at my bffs house (because im never allowed to) and I got home told my mom i was going to ask my dad and she was like whatever. My dad called and yelled at me cause I missed a homework assignment in history and he got home and grounded me for 3 weeks… 3 WEEKS!!!!! I wanted to go to the Twilight midnight premire and he grounds me… So now just to get a maybe or “Ill think about it” i have to get straight As!!!! I have Biology, Chemistry, and Algebra 2!!! My friends are tutoring me though, sooo its all good there. and I just got into trouble with my mom because i wanted to finish watching Charmed and my mom was being a total jerk!!! she made me get so mad that i started to scream at the top of my lungs and i broke the PB + J bottle thingy… I feel like hurting myself so they actually pay attention to how i feel… I think god hates me… soo yea any suggestions???
Actually… A lot of white parents try to make their kids go to local schools and so a lot of stuff together… trust me i know from experience… btw… my last name i singh and i saw that movie… im white though… half
Now i got a C+ in English!! omg!!! what if my parents see that!!!!! im soooo dead!!!!!
I’m not sure you’re a real white person, Edward cullen lover. White people don’t have PB&J in their homes, except for ironic purposes.
Oh, you are such a teenager! No one can “make” you mad, you are in charge of how you react. Including throwing a hissy fit and breaking things.
Maybe your parents know something you don’t, and that’s why they won’t let you sleep over at your bff’s.
Try acting more maturely, your parents may surprise you. Try finishing your homework before you play on the computer or watch TV. Take a deep breath and count to ten before you answer.
Jacob Black is way sexier, BTW. Who wants to hug a cold stone? Not me.
That’s only the Emo kids. lol
Only an Edward Cullen lover…
I think cracking on Emo kids should be on this list. Almost every day I hear my white friends crack on emos and call each other emo.
Lady madonna, edward is way sexier.
stupid whore.
Don’t be a douche.
I like to read this comment as a really well done satire. If this is indeed the case, bravo.
Nothing in regards to your response, but FUCK YOUR STUPID NAME. Why they fuck does everyone love Twilight? It’s Mormon Vampire shit. I’m sure the love story is soooo amazing, but seriously, I’m so tired that everyone who ever talked shit on me for loving Buffy and saying that Vampires were evil, blah blah blah, now is obsessed with these books. Assholes.
This is absolutely hilarious and absolutely true!! I’m African-American and I can recall numerous times when I’ve been around white people who just go on and on about how much they hate their parents. I’ve heard white people (in high school) yelling profanities at their parents over the phone because they bought them the wrong designer hand bag. I don’t get it. They’re like yeah I hate my mother, she takes care of me, buys me whatever I want and does whatever I tell her but she’s such a bitch. Really tho?!?!?!
Aw damn, I hate one of my parents too. I should stop mentioning that. I mean I already like coffee and movies. I’m a fucking walking stereotype
I don’t hate my parents….:S
I think that’s mostly an American thing…
” A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.”
Proverbs 15:20
well you dont have to talk to me sooo shut your fucking mouth.
Btw… i am very mature. you dont know me. If you did, you’d be surprised how well developed my brain is. My parents don’t give me a reason to why i can’t sleep over at other people’s houses. Try getting to know the person before you say stupid things.
I’m not fully white, i’m half indian. I think thats just a little too racist, but you were just joking right?
What about an Edward Cullen Lover??? That’s just really getting personal.
whose the douche??
sorry got angry… I just think if you read the books you’ll like them and i know the name is stupid…
hahahahaha… thank you!!!!
this is the craziest most adictive and tactfull site ever… I like it I like it i like it! you people are all different and funny to the max. I’m from South Africa by the way.
And no I’m not an emo. this is sick but this site actually made me feel happier! no freakn way
I don’t hate my parents, but I get very annoyed with them because we have so many clashing viewpoints. I might hate some of the things they say, but I could never hate them. I hate myself for my uneventful high school experience.
i don’t hate my parents for simple reasons like that. There is so much more to it. I can’t even listen to my friends talk when they get upset because they’re parents won’t buy them uggs or whatever and cry until they do. I really get mad at my friends for being like that, but I can’t say anything about it. I may get frustrated at them for making me do my homework early on the weekends, but that’s not what keeps me up late at night.
Can one become a painter while in a Thai prison?
I think that may work out.
True. I hear you 100%.
I love my parents, but they’ve got issues, plain and simple. And it’s not that they didn’t buy me crap (I couldn’t care less).
I’m white and I hate my old man – not because it’s fashionable but because he’s a drunken asshole.
I hate my white dad.
I love my Mexican mom!
I love my parents. It’s as simple as that. Sure they get on my nerves every now and then…but who doesn’t? Just remember that it can always be worse. You can always find something that could make the situation worse no matter how bad the situation is.
my parents are stick in away and hell i love them because the had SEX to have me..
my parents are strict in away and hell i love them because the had SEX to have me..
i hate mine. ~_~ somehow they’re authoritative attitude are getting on my nerves, on how they order or bosses around is annoying, how they give and suddenly take back things they given to their child is pissing me off (for what reason? so you’ll know what real life is, that’s bull…),
btw… i’m not a white ~_~ asian ftw ❤
What a shame their authoritative attitude didn’t result in you knowing when to use ‘their’ or ‘they’re’.
Only if he has dropped out of university. Maybe after release, he could enroll in a Thai university. And fail to learn the language.
The statement “I hate my parents” from anyone younger than 21 means: I don’t like what my parents are DOING or I don’t like the CIRCUMSTANCES I’m in…it needs to CHANGE. They don’t mean that they literally hate their parents.
How big is a dictionary that a child under the age of 21 can write that they really understand every meaning of every word they use??? Just noted this for interest.
That was a perfect white move right there. 🙂
I’m not White. My family is from another culture. I grew up in a White neighborhood and always noticed how much they talked trash about their parents. Even as adults! It was strange to me because though my family is from an African country, I have many friends from Asian and Latino countries…and that type of attitude isn’t common. They usually overly respect their parents. Whats up with that, White folks??? 🙂
It’s easy to hate your parents when you know who they are.
Parents are SUPPOSED TO make you nuts, otherwise, you’d just live with them your whole life until they died. Pretty bad for them.
I can’t say I hate my parents, but at some point when I was a teenager, yeah, I’ve had something like that. You see, it’s called “teen angst”. You should try it some time. 🙂
-MINESWEEP
Well, for 70% of black households, there isn’t a “daddy” around.
Single parent households are one of the biggest problems the ‘black community ‘ faces. What up wit dat?
This , according to one of the biggest racists, Louie Farrakhan….
also, Bill Cosby, who, as a successful black man, is villified by many blacks as an Uncle Tom, cuz he say what’s gaht ta be said.
The man speaks the truth.
hahahahahaha
They blame the parents when they don´t have anybody else to blame !
hahahaahahah
Well, some of us have good reasons to hate our parents. Such as the fact that they’ve put you through hell ever since you found out that they defined the word alcoholic. And don’t care enough to get help even though you’ve begged them and tried numerous ways to get them help yourself.
hahahahahahahaha that’s so white of you!
Why don’t you just “honor your father and your mother”. You’ll carry less yoke.
Interesting blog and some really good topics. The observations that are made on these topics are pretty much dead on, there is a lot of common sense in the observations. I know lots of whites and most df the “likes” don’t fit them at all. Seems like this isn’t about white people at all but about behavior.
Makes me wonder what the response would be to a blog or book titled Stuff Black People Like?
Geez, stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. You just don’t understand me! I hate you!!
TRUE!
White people don’t appreciate anything. They grow up in decent houses with parents who care enough to provide for them, and they still feel ENTITLED to “teen angst,” whatever the fuck that is. If you ever hear a white person say “thank you” to someone over thirty who isn’t an actor, consider yourself one in a million!
So true. White kids don’t appreciate anything, least of all the people who actually care about them. White people force-feed their kids a steady diet of after-school specials and fake acronym diseases until the children feel entitled to problems. They poison their own kids against a healthy environment.
Teach your kids to be thankful – and to say thank you – or you’ll end up a White #17!!!
you’re right. He does.
wow. you have the nerve to criticize people who care about you… and you can’t spell OR form a coherent sentence!! hope those evil parents of yours are paying for college, ’cause you’ll never succeed on your own!
sex is awesome!
everybody has issues. give your parents a break. they’re just human like everyone else.
The Jonas Brothers love their parents!
😉
If I listened to everything my parents told me, I’d end up with an awful but successful life, and why would I want that?
Um … if the apparent seriousness of your comment wasn’t meant satirically, Ken, then I’m afraid I’m going to have to break some awful news to you: this site is meant satirically.
All of it.
Sorry.
Hug?
FK
I’m white.
My mother emotionally abuses me.
My father is a prescription drug addict, which is admittedly a very white thing to be.
I don’t hate them, but not every white kid has a perfect middle-class suburban family. Deal with it. I’m grateful for what I had and I just wish I had more.
No one try to one up this one..
Wow Lazia I’m sensing a hostility you have towards whites….which makes me wonder..why are you reading a fake blog about what we like?
I dont believe single parent homes are a “problem” in the black community. I was raise by a single mom and I love it. I don’t think I would be that happy with my dad around.
Maybe if your gay and in california.
Same sex marriages will do SUCH a better job RIGHT?
Right!
yess, so the average white person doesnt like their parents..
well i guesss im pretty damn white.
i hate my parents.
not only because liek said up there they make me do my homework. yes and make me have a curfew and dont let me smoke weed. my parents dont understand what i want who i am and what i want to be in life what so eever cause they have better plans for me..
my family is very religious and i dont really liek to follow it.
do i have a choice? no.
my mom verbally abuses me and my step dad is SO ANOOYING
he controlls my momma and gets her to think anything he wants.
he is in teh military and is crazy
i have been grounded for 6 months cause they caught me drunk.
im never allowed on the computer i have time limits.. oh
and whats a cell phone? hmm
yeah strict is a word i know well.
I just laugh when I read the comments here about how ‘cruel’ and ‘strict’ their parents are and how they ‘torture’ them. I suppose most of these comments are from kids brought up in US. Well, let me give you a taste of how we were brought up (not long ago 80’s, 90’s) in an under-developed (at that time) country like India by an average middle-class family (same can be applied to most asian countries).
There was no concept of ‘pocket’ money or holiday gifts or vacation. The only gift you get was a new set of dress, that too only once a year. All this, even if the parents had money they could afford. Because all the excess money will be put away for kids’ future.
When you’re a kid, anyone old enough and close to the family can hit you – your teacher, your uncle, your neighbour etc. There was no concept of ‘grounding’ if you misbehave. Parents used a special cane – a long wooden stick sold in stores for punishing kids. It comes in different shapes and sizes, some thick and strong enough to make you bleed, some thin to create a whip like effect and some with rough surfaces to produce a rash effect. Sometimes they used waist belts and if it’s leather you’re screwed, because most likely you’ll have to visit a doctor after they’re ‘done’. Another punishment is forcefully holding you by your head close to a bunch of burning big red chillis in fire. You’ll feel eyes, nose, throat, ears and your face burning at the same time, and the effect will last for hours. The worst of all is the heat ‘treatment’, where you’ll be torched with a hot steel tong or spoon heated just enough to produce second-degree burn, sometimes you’ll develop a permanant scar from this.
I’ve experienced every single punishment mentioned above at times. All are still common in most middle-class families in India and illegal in US. I’m not mad at my parents because now I understand their motive and what good came from it. They paid all my education fees – college degree. I can go on and on about the sacrifice parents make for their kids, in India. The worst parents, to me, are the ones who don’t care.
I hear songs in US about how people hate their family. It just shocks me. How could one just ‘hate’ their parents/mothers for conditioning ? It’s a different world Indeed.
let me start off by saying im white 😀 mayonaise!
i would hate to live in india or some other crappy country that didnt have cable and nintendos. i hated my parents in high school for the reason u wrote, i couldnt smoke weed!!!! the killa!! but i dont think any 1 likes thier parents when thier at that age. BTW india must suck, to the wall of text below me
this is so true that is sad
How could anyone hate their parents..lol
I can understand if you were gay and your parents are religion freaks, but other than that..I don’t get it.
Thank you! I get sick and tired when i hear kids whine about how horrible their life is. Heck, i tell my sister’s 1 and 1/2 year old daughter to stop crying and be thankful because kids in Africa have no food. She, amazingly, listens and stops crying 😛
Now if that would only work on teenagers!
Seriously, you have so much to be freaking thank you for. You probably don’t need a cell phone and they had a right for grounding you when you got drunk and probably disobeyed their rules. And church is boring huh? Watch this.
You might not see it now, but you really should appreciate what you have. I don’t say that lightly, because it could be gone so fast. These things like getting drunk, high, having a cell phone, they are so superficial. They aren’t what makes life, they simply distract you from the real happiness and love that is waiting to be found.
I agree. I can’t for one second even imagine hating my parents. They are the most wonderful people alive. I thank the universe every day for blessing me with such wonderful souls.
Thanks for the reply to that girl’s message. That’s exactly what I would’ve said. I was unfortunate to lose my mom at 19, so be thankful for the people who love you…they really do care.
And yes, I’m white and I never hated my parents. I grew up poor with 7 siblings and it was the best childhood ever! My parents taught us to appreciate our family and the little material things we had. And our poor lifestyle inspired me to do better when I grew up, which I did. I wouldn’t change a thing.
The part about not trying to one-up a white person’s parent horror story is beyond true. I continue to swear to everyone that no matter how awful they thought their parents were, no one compares to my psychotic father. And no one does.
Sadly, it’s generally the children who were cared for the most and taken care of the best who end up hating their parents, while those who were abused or neglected end up making excuses and trying to win their parents’ love… or simply grow up and get over it.
Yeah I know a woman in her late forties who is still moaning on about her horrible mother…
Freaking genius and oh so true!
i hate my parents. they just dont like me at all, if i am not allowed to just close the door of my room with out their permision i hope you guys can imagine what else i am not allowed!!!
Couldn’t smoke weed? OMG! How horrible it must be! How can one stop you from enjoying such a exhilarating experience. Its so NOT FAIR. I totally understand how your entire life is wasted. Truly sorry! Here you are sitting and replying these blogs when you’ve all the potential to visit local and federal prisons.
I feel you brotha’ or sistah’ or whatever.
This is true. I hated my parents but now love them. I have a lot of Black friends and they are all really close to their parents. What is it about us crackers?
I know… parents are a total waste of time.. dunno why god created them.. I m like fuck them !!
A lot of white people hate their parents because white parents are way more tolerant of letting their kids think for themselves than non-whites.
I used to hate my parents, but I got over it. Are there cracks in my White-ness?
ok I am one up
Woot! this one isn’t me! I love my parents 😀
lol
This is so true, and I’m not white.
Hahahahaha.
I seriously laughed out loud – AT WORK – at this one.
“But under no circumstances should you try to one up them, regardless of whether or not you were an orphan, abused, or watched your parents get shot.”
… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I saw the show Housewives of Orange County the other night and one of the wives sons was just going left on her in front of everybody. He was upset at her because he plays professional baseball and they told him he was not playing in one of his games which happened to be the day she was coming from california to Chicago where he plays to visit. Told her not to come but she came anyway because thats what she came for. Cussed her out, and told her that he should have thrown his bat at her face! I mean really what a bitch she is to show support for her son. I know black kids that talk crazy to their parents but not like that and not without a ass beating lol! Sorry this is true!
Really? Would your mother agree that being a single mother wasn’t a problem? As a person who was part of a single-parent household who never knew her father, I damn sure think that it’s a problem when a father isn’t in the picture. That’s not to say that I personally didn’t prefer to not have him in the picture, but what’s good for one isn’t necessarily good for all.
Ha!
what if, as a white person, i am horribly abused as a child, how should you approach me?
how am i supposed to feel about my parents when i’m beaten, beaten incessantly? and nobody, nobody does a goddamn thing about it, nobody at home, neighbors, friends, relatives, teachers, whathaveyou.
sorry, just trying to justify my hatred for my parents.
Hate um LOL We live with all of ours.. Heck we all live under the same Double wide roof! Sure you dont like um, Maybe because Billy Dawn drinks all your Natrual Light or Bubba Ray preffers the bush outside the winda instead of the bathroom, or Sue Dawn married your cousin Willy Dawn and had them kids with add runnin round getting into Grandpas Special Vegetable garden with them Funny Plants in it, or uncle carl who fixes cars and is stone drunk all the time in your drive way and pawns your tools all the time, but hey as a Red Neck we all believe in that Nuclear Family thang. We all Gotta get along because when you mess with one of us.. yer messin with the whole Ant Pile. Hatin your Momma is for Wussys and what the hell is a Ivy League is that like the Grape Vine league or Oak tree League.. How about the Racing Mower League now thats a real sport…..
I know, right? Like this is SO totally true. But in my case I have every reason to hate the ‘rents. My moms is like a total nightmare!!! She’s always barging in on me and my friends offering us healthy snacks and Juice and crap. And ZOMG!!! she is always pointing out how healthy the things are. She actually said in front of all my friends…and I am totally not shitting you… wait for it…”Fruit is nature’s candy”…CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? I swear I could have died, totally died right on the spot . Thank god my friend Caitlin has taught me how to make my self puke, that’ll show ’em!!
Hahahaha.
I really really hope you’re kidding,
but if you’re not it really just makes it that much more hilarious.
Hahaha, wow. That is either the funniest satiric parody of a spoiled white person, or a ridiculously stupid comment. I’m laughing regardless.
Maybe white parents should stop tryiong to be their childrens best friend.
HAHA!
i thank my mom everyday for letting me become a painter and major in art.
First i want to start of by saying TRIPOD your an idiot. I don’t know weather you were trying to be funny or if your life is really that simple that these are the issues that destroy the relationship between you and your parents..if so, that is just sad.
Now about the blog, i couldn’t agree more. i have grown up with kids who are so rediculously spoiled and at the same time had absolutely no respect for their parents. It seems like the parents who strive to become friends always become enemies. Almost sounds like a corny cliche huh?
um, you couldn’t tell that TRIPOD was being satirical?
That bitch!!! lmao!!
Love your parents for one day, little girl, they will not be there to make you laugh, be healthy and all of that good stuff in between. Hopefully you will wake up and realize not to blame YOUR mistakes on your parents.I believe anyone who is foolish enough to blame their parents has got to be a coward, at the least!
Ignore the rudeness of the previous commenter. I really hope that you and your son have the chance to talk things through and work them out. I am not white or American, and was raised by a single father who had to keep it together to support and raise two kids. And it’s harder for women in this sexist society we live in. I am not in favour of generalising about races but I think there is some truth to this post, but tied more to socio-economic status than to race. Which is that children who grow up well off expect more from their parents and think it is okay to hurt them. And those who are not so well off might also learn this from their more well off friends.
My father and I didn’t have the best relationship when I was under his roof and there were other issues that made us not talk to each other for a while, but we sorted them out and now I love him more than ever. I am sorry that you have suffered as you have, and sincerely hope that you and your son have the same chance as I did.
Jessica, I don’t see how your comment relates to the one above it. As I understood it, dbals was just saying that how tough life is can be really relative, especially when you put it in a non-American context. As someone who also grew up in India in the 80s and 90s, I can attest to this. I get that a lot of people have a hard time in their childhoods, but I think this idea that teenagers angst is “normal” needs to be questioned — it’s “normal” above a certain level of security or privilege or whatever you want to call it. I grew up in India raising a younger sibling from when I was 8 years old while my father, who was a single parent, was away from the house most of the year for his work in order for us to be able to pay our bills. Yes, corporal punishment, at home, from school, from relatives, was part of daily life, like dbals says. There was no question of teenage angst because there was no time to think about it, and too much stuff to do. Now, in my late twenties, I might wish some things had been different, but I do not “hate” my father or talk about him in the way that I hear some of my American friends speak of their parents. He was just doing his best in a shitty world.
I’m not saying teenagers shouldn’t whine, but that having the privilege to do that is precisely that: a privilege. In an ideal world, I’d say we should all be able to go through our own teen angst and soul-searching. In the meantime, why don’t we talk more about the very different ways in which people grow up, and not respond to someone telling you the truth about their childhood with a sarcastic and condescending comment about kids in Africa.
I hate my parents because they hate me and my father actually abused me.
But I know what you mean. The one girl I know is half-Mexican, half-white but she says her mom’s the worst because she makes her do CHORES. That bitch! And her mom doesn’t let her do whatever she wants. While I do what you said in the last paragraph:
“But under no circumstances should you try to one up them, regardless of whether or not you were an orphan, abused, or watched your parents get shot. If you bring this up, the white person will never talk to you about their problems again, and you will be unable to gain their trust.”
🙂
My parents are so annoying but rich u tripod
Fuck u tripod
She just wants you to live a long healthy life and is trying to make yours better than hers:/
he-he, parents destructive love…
I am really, really hoping that this post is Tounge-in-cheek. I am pretty sure it is. Funny!
As an adult I hate my parents for having me circumcised.
What kind of a fuckin’ moron do you have to be to think it is a good idea to cut off the foreskin (some of the most sensitive tissue on the entire male human body) of a helpless defenseless baby without some kind of dire medical reason?
Most American males have a perfectly good reason to hate their parents.
I honestly don’t know.
You apparently have internet access, if I were you I would try to find government and/or social service programs for victims of child abuse. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) might be a place to start.
Reporting your parents while staying in that environment will probably just get you more beatings.
I would look for programs that would have you removed from that home, in the end that is the only way to stop it. I wouldn’t worry about filing charges until after you are sure you will be safe somewhere else in foster care or something like that.
If what this blog says is by any means true, white people are stupid. They are losing loads of opportunity to learn from their parents’ mistakes. Maybe that’s why they are thwarted by Asian with such ease.
They repeat history again and again because they can’t learn not to do it.
Losing your parents’ patience and friendship is really stupid. You can’t get that sort of devotion from anyone expect from some fairy-tale “true love” person. Everyone else is temporary, ephemeral and sure to move on……
Thank you, Mr. Know-It-All for informing me that God doesn’t exist. Atheism is a “religion” just like Christianity.
How exactly are white people thwarted by asians????????????????? Last I checked that statement made no sense.
LMAO
wakakakaka! This is hilarious! 🙂
What the hell? The person who made these rules must have something wrong with them. None of these “rules” or whatever even make sense, whether they’re supposed to be jokey or not. It’s generalising. These things could apply to anyone. Most teenagers appear to hate their parents, no matter what race they are, and a lot of adults do, too.
I think what shane is trying to say is that “white” kids take their parents for granted and are often rebellious unlike asian kids. Though this is a sweeping statement, it is rather true in several cases.
I think god created them so they could create you. How do parents waste your time? Either you’re really dumb or you’re not old enough to know how babies are created.
what do you mean by give and take back?
Luckily for me, i love both my parents, they love me and i dont blame them for anything in my life. although i see more and more everyday how much i am like them (kind of a duh) all the mistakes i made, are not because they were lax or too strict, it was because I chose to do so. So, everyone bitchin on their parents, be glad you have them and appreceite them for taking the time to bring you up one way or the other!
why are people getting so offended? Minorities will eagerly admit if a joke is at least half true and laugh. But a lot of white people on this site are getting so offended.
If they were Asian (born to immigrant parents at least) they wouldn’t complain because if they did their parents would beat them while swearing in their language. Followed by a long lecture on how children should respect their parents etc.
That is completely immature Bob lol. You are going to fault your parents for something you don’t even remember? Or some imagined pleasure you are missing out of? Well don’t bother and take heart..they’ve discovered that circumsicion can actually reduce your risk for STD’s so suck it up. Why bother going through life begrudging your parents that they helped you out by doing it. It isn’t as if they cut your arm off or narrowed your skull over the years to make it look pointier. Get over it.
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jwwWxakpLXHT2qxpwoieMJOhCSDgD975A18O2<— article talks about the possible health benefits of cirumcision.
Daphne, since it is an irreversible decision parents should probably let their children make it for themselves when they are old enough. Yes, one study has shown a decreased risk of HIV infection among circumcised men. But thats not really an argument for circumcision in developed countries since condoms are easily accessible and indeed still necessary. Circumcised men can still get infected and can indeed also infect others. And circumcision does not stop unwanted pregnancies…. You cant run around and have unprotected sex just because you are circumcised. The argument for circumcision because of decreased risk of HIV only holds in parts of the world where condoms are not available.
[…] phony bologna accounts of their troubled coming of age (See Stuff White People Like #83 and #17). Heck, I’ve got some self-mythology I can lay on you if you’ve got a few […]
thank you so much for that inspiring post. I am going to turn to god now and ask for forgiveness for killing my parents. love you.
i love how people on this post think that statements about whites are generalized but then make huge generalized statements about other races. Now some white person will read this and is going to go and educate themselves more on other races to prevent generalizing other races… dont do it. ITS OK
See #101 lol.
Personally i like being cut verses uncut. But truthfully its one of the least important problems you could have with your parents.
Your parents have made a lot more fucked up choices on your behalf than choosing to give you a circumcision.
Though i now that i think about it, circumcision is a pretty obvious indicator that our model for parenting is really fucking out to lunch.
HAHAHA …. awesome
HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Man, I love that instead of just laughing and moving on, that all these people are like “Well, actually, I am the exception to this rule.”
No ur not, shut the fuck up, and just laugh at yourself.
Is that really that hard?
hahahh, I know ill get a response to this, and that in itself makes me laugh.
I totally agree with this post. I think a few other related topics for the list of SWPL would be:
1. Claiming to come from a poor family – Poor is a relative term for white people. For the white people targeted by this blog, a poor white family can still afford to live in an affluent suburb, have cable TV and pay for their child’s college education. However, they could not afford to buy their teenager a car once they turn 16. There is no more valued status for a white person than being born into a “poor” family and overcoming these “challenges” and “adversity” to become successful and rich.
2. Claiming to have a troubled childhood – In many cases a troubled childhood is comprised of a combination of abuse, neglect, poverty, violence and fear. However, the white people who are targeted by this blog tend to equate a troubled childhood with not possessing name brand clothing, awkward family get-togethers and having to walk to school.
I concur wholeheartedly
What’s wrong with being a painter??
Not where I live!!! Here it is the blacks yelling that they are mistreated!! They seem to think that the whites think that every crime is a black man or woman. I and others I know do not think this way, we are all white, but lots of my good friends are black and I think highly of them!! But at every turn the blacks are yeling to contact NAACP to save them, yelling predigious. I had a great-granddaughter that was 1/2 blk. and when I held her I saw no color just a precious baby that I loved dearly and the Lord saw fit to take her from us in the form of “crib death” and we all were devisitated as we loved her dearly. In my family down the line there are several blks. all well liked, also there are Indain’s and Mexicans in my family. All are well respected!!
I just came upon this by chance. I’m adult and hate my parents though they’re both dead now. This is not about not having designer jeans or having to walk to school, though both those things applied to me.
1.) When I was about 3 or 4 I was upset and crying in bed at night and my father barged into my room and said in a stern voice, “Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!”
2.) My father had a horrible temper and took his rage out on me, his only child. I recall him screaming at me so hard his face turned purple and he had veins sticking out on his head – because after I cleaned the bathtub I didn’t rinse it well enough and there was a little residue of cleanser left in the tub (if you’ve used comet or something similiar you know you cannot see it when it is wet). My mother pointed this out to him and he did not apologize, just said “oh” and walked away.
3.) My father called me ugly, he called me a dog – yet HE was the ugly one. Where did he think that came from? He created me then hated his own creation. He called me stupid, too – ditto – my mom was smart, Dad was the stupid one.
I hate them for HAVING me. My recent pet peeve is that children are brought into the world to fulfill the PARENT’S needs, then the parents don’t give a sh*t about the needs of the child. I’ve had two psychotherapists tell me that I was an abused child – and they never laid a HAND on me. It was all emotional / psychological abuse.
I hate my mother for marrying a stupid, ugly man. In a world where women are judged by their appearance, she married an ugly man then prayed for a daughter. Ladies, if pickings are slim and you have to marry an ugly man – PLEASE go get pregnant by someone else – NO woman wants to look like your ugly husband! It irks me when I see men making comments about unattractive women and girls – duh, where do they think these women come from? daughters of UGLY MEN most likely!
My mother was cold and controlling; I remember being about 4 and being afraid of the dark and not wanting to go ahead of them into the house and she said “there’s nothing to be afraid of; go on in” and when I did she made a scarey noise and when I ran crying back to her, she laughed. LAUGHED. My therapist said that was nothing but pure SADISM.
So that is why I hate my parents. (No, that’s not all, of course, I have a binder of over 100 pages of documentation of all the shit they did to me so don’t call me a whiner – this was a lifetime of abuse). So you see, sometimes there is a good reason to hate one’s parents – and you can call me a nazi but I think people should have to pass a series of psychological and physical tests before being permitted to have kids and should have to have a LICENSE to have kids! Some people are just NOT fit to be parents!
wow all i can say is i hope that ur binder has worse stuff then what u posted. lol wow ur parents yelled at u!!!!!!!!! and sometimes played jokes on u!!!! serosly if ur looking for pity at least post something that everyone hasent been though and make it seem like a big deal. for the love of god get over it everyone ells in the world dose and guse what they do it without a therapist. also idk about u but i enjoy the chance i got at life by my parents having me. take responsabilty for ur own god damm life. if it sucks its ur fault. if ur too busy living in the past of what happend to u to enjoy life now again look no farther then urself. u can hate ur parents all u want but being pissed about them bringing u into this life, but that is a lie. for one so simply reason, people who are truely mad at their parents for that go off a die.

Having an abusive childehood is one of the greatest tragedies in life. My father was physically abusive. For example, When I was 14 hegrabbed me by the hair and kneed me in the face after I went for for help because he abandonned my 10 year old sister and I in the woods for 3 hour on a camping trip. When I fell on the ground (who wouldn’t after being kneed by a grown A$$$ man?!) our dog attacked me (kanine simply following alpha male) and after it had a few bites he finally kicked it. My mom on the otherhand never laid a hand on me and that is where the problem lies. She never had much hand in anything I was doing as a kid. She would make all kinds of promises about divorcing my father, have me gather eveidence that he was abusive , but ultimately she turned to the bottle and away from me(and her other 4 children). It wasn’t until after I turned 18(and I got a restraining order) did my father stop abusing my siblings and I.
That being said, forgiveness is a choice. I spent my entire life being angry with my father. When I was about 22 something clicked in me that realized that carrying that kind of anger and rage eats your soul. Regardless of whether you “let it out” into your new life anger and hate infect everything you touch. While I have chosen to forgive my father, I have not done the same for my mother. For now I just settle for limited contact with her.
Circumcision? You still do that routinely to poor little babies in the US? I’ve lived in Europe and now Australia, and it’s only practised these days in the Jewish community. The so-called health benefits are baloney if you shower every day 🙂
Kids need to learn early on and see it that they don’t know more than their elders…and everything you do in life has a price attached to it.
I would not blame my parents for what I do in my life…I blame me. Only thing more parents need to teach their kids is ACCOUNTABILITY.
I like my parents, but still, a lot of white people that I know DO hate their parents, or at least claim to.
I hate it.
I don’t care what the story is about particulary, but since photobucket has stats now, I am wondering why you used a picture of me.
I don’t hate my parents?
What the hell is this. I am a painter and my parents were stricked with me. what the fuck
you’re still hawt, stampy, even if you do secretly hate your parents 😛
it is now true and it will always be true
awww thanks.
I don’t hate my parents!!!!
Hahahaha, at the picture 🙂
My old man was a draaaggggggg man. Only thing he showed me that was all-right was gettin’ higghhhh.
NOW WHICH ONE OF YOU FELLA’S HAS A CIGARETTE FOR DR ROCKZO TO HELP WITH THE COME DOWN, OHHHHHHHH YAYYYYUHHHHH!!!
lolz stampy is famous.
so pwned its not funny white boy.
I am a white mother of an adult son who hates me. My heart is broken and empty. He balmes me for things that were his choices to do.
I know that so much of this stuff written on this site is for laughs and to get a rise out of each other, but for me….it is real.
Maryann, I am so sorry; all I can say is that most young adults go through this phase of minutely examining how their lives have turned out so far and, in some cases, looking for someone to blame, usually their parents. But the phase passes, and is replaced by something more calm and cordial, if not overwhelmingly grateful. Eventually your son will realise he alone is accountable for what he has done after the age of 18, which is totally his own choice! Meanwhile, you should keep in mind all the good things you did as a mum! And go and do some cool things that will make you feel good right now, while you’re waiting for him to sort his silly, sulky head out.
As a white son who hates his mother (for actual reasons), I would suggest that struggling white parents actually explore the possibility that maybe they are doing something wrong.
I did MY part and was even suicidal for some time, but then I wised up and realized that my mother was just an asshole.
But try telling HER that.
Same here in Canada. I heard of one couple who wanted their baby circumcised, and couldn’t find a doctor here who would do it. It’s considered genital mutilation.
I concur.
Actually, this one is kind of dumb. I’m pretty sure that everyone “hates” their parents at one point or another, except for maybe the ones whose parents died when they were too young to hate them. It’s just sort of human nature.
As not a white person, I disagree. A lot of Black people love their parents, regardless of what happened in their childhood, because there is more more emphasis on respecting elders and understanding the difficulty of being a parent–especially a mother.
I’ve been saying I hated my parents since daycare before pre-school
And I will NEVER thank my parents for the upbringing
And I’m only 16 o_o
Does this make me white, or can I just stay asian?
That is funny..
http://messedupparentingtips.wordpress.com/
it makes you emo actually.
hahaha. That was good for a laugh, thank you. hahahaha.
I agree.
p.s- Im white.
Sorry to offend the youngin’ but honestly, one day you will see…
Wow. yeah, good luck with that. I hope things get better… if not, then punch her… it’ll make you feel better. (lol. Im not being serious, I dont wanna see you go to jail… but seriously, wait till shes asleep, then punch her and run away.) hah.
I hate my father for actual reasons as well and I happen to be white. I guess it depends on your up bringing and such.. but im pretty sure EVERYONE does hate their parents at one point or another. If not, then you my dear child… need help.
Unless the elder is a teacher or wearing a police uniform, then the respect goes out the window.
White people hate everyone. When they fuck up, instead of accepting their responsibility, they blame their parents. How bad things were for them, how their parents didnt hug them enough, how their parens didnt give them much. Shameless worthless race.
There are people of other races who go through so much and are so grateful for the little that they have. They love their parents besides their faults, because they have recognised the struggles their parents may go through to provide for them. The love they have for their parents is natural, not love because of material things or lack of.
Hatred is in white peoples blood, they hate what they dont know, why are we surprised.
im surprised that they dont have a sign on this site saying “if you don’t have a sense of humour fuck off!”
I’m surprised that they don’t have a sign on this site saying “if you find humor on a subject of hating your parents fuck off!”
for white people—unless the elder is a teacher or wearing a police uniform, then respect goes out the window.
I’M RUNNING AWAY!!!!!!

run!!!
White people hate bragging about the great things Western civilization has brought the world. Sure, they’ll bore you to tears about how terrible colonialism was, or slavery, or the Crusades etc. But ask them to say some good things about Western Civ. and they’ll change the subject or try to pull it back to how bad slavery was. P.S. Fuck off!
um I actually love my parents um is that so strange?
Yeah even some black folks hate their parents… they just don’t brag about it like white people
I Hate Katie, but I love both of my parents. Huum, I wonder my fellow white friends, do you think that while hating your parents, that your white children will hate you? Naaaw, my fellow white Americans, YOUR children will love you and the cycle, generational curse, is magically broken. (Satire) :} Everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions and control your destiny.
this site should be renamed to “what white americans like”, cuz ive read all of these things and the majority of them arent true if you are canadian or french like me.
wow. just wow. “hatred is in white people’s blood.” you are a hypocrite with absolutely no sense of humor. just leave.
Liar
canadians that are french are really homosexual
Yes, I find that white people hate everyone including their parents, their boy(girl)friends, their wife (husband)…They only love themselves and power and money. Strange education!
yeah dude this site is supposed to be funny…
uh huh you’re a dousche
That’s excessively racist, prejudice, and uncalled for. This is not an actual documentary on what white people like, it is a humorous poke at the white american. It’s meant as a joke, and any similarities to an actual white person are only for that white person; not the white community as a whole. So, I would like to say something to you.
Off is the general direction in which I would like you to fuck, ok?
I think you have misunderstood. I’m suspecting therefor you are ‘white’. I live in Australia. Very far away. It is all very relevant.
Not funny. Get over yourself.
The author of this blog , and people who agree with it’s racist contents , need to overcome their inferiority complex and get a life .
why can you just take a joke? obviously only white people are reading this! and if your so anti raciest why are you on this site? i think you need to get a life and stop leaving comments that are stupid. HONKEY!
alba?
You must hate your parents. No, I got that wrong, Your parents hate you, so they put your sorry ass out and now all that’s on your mind is douches.
shaddap beeeeeotch.
I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????
I don’t want money from any Asians, or Blacks or Hispanics. You guys NEED your money. I only want one dollar apiece from RICH WHITE PEOPLE who seem to WASTE their money on therapy because they hate their parents.
Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments “You ARE a waste.” is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)

lol “white people love being offended”
why you so serious and stuff….
Children of immigrants tend to have far more respect for their parents than people who grew up in the US.
Most other cultures put lots of emphasis on respect for elders, especially family.
Its not in the culture here to teach such respect to children. Then when they grow up they tend to forget the struggles that their parents had to go through to raise them and the amount of stress they endured. I’ve known people who go for months without seeing their parents who live 15 minutes away. I find that absurd.
I know this site is supposed to be a joke but it really bothers me when people don’t respect their parents. Unless you were physically abused by your parents you should always show them love, respect and above all gratitude.
The stand up comedian Russell Peters did an excellent bit about how white kids and Indian kids treat their parents differently. And then he goes on to say “White people, PLEASE beat your kids!” haha so funny
Do your kid a favor and have him circumsized… The girls he sleeps with later will appreciate it. Ask any girl what she prefers and they will overwhelmingly say they prefer circumsized men.
Also you are less likely to contract STDs if you do not have a foreskin.
But you’re talking about lenient liberal parents with money (and of course, white Americans). What about those white trash parents? They neglect, abandon or abuse them. The middle-class whites just want to make sure the kids turn out better than the parents were, or follow the same path a legacy for generations before them: pass it on, junior. +
ok for real, this bog is meant to be a joke. and what doesnt make sense to me is how people who arent white, take offense to these things. this is called stuff WHITE peole like, if anyone should be offended, it should be the white peopl who are being made fun of, BUT we’re not. stop gettng your panties in a wad and calm the fuck down, this stuff is a joke.
haha wow this is so sad…..its so true!!!
i dont hate my parents they just kinda bug me every now and then.
Yes it’s true white children love hating their parents because they feel misunderstood! I’m not white but I have alot of white friends who say “Shut up mom stop getting in my fuckin business”!
The day i turned 13 i started to hate my mom. to me she was just sooo freaking weird!! but i didnt want to be a trouble child so i stopped myself once i turned 14. but now i hate my dad at times cus he can get rly strict. o well. im trying not to think of them as horrible people.
Hopefully i can find a happy balance in between for my future kids.
My dad filmed me touching my penis so….kinda warranted.
In the case of the oppressed minorities, the children and parents have a common problem to face, so they tend to sympathise with one another better: racism and bigotry and oppression from the white majority.
Whites have more freedom and less pressure because they are white, so there are no forces to drive the parents and the children together.
White parents grew up when it was okay to have black slaves, so naturally they still think it’s okay to hate minorities and oppress them. The children have been taught by the school system to love minorities because that is the true way to have peace and happiness on earth.
Therefore the two are diametrically opposed and it is inevitable that they should hate each other.
[…] until my thoughts settle on my folks. I’m going to have to make amends to these people, who I love to hate. Let me be clear about the fact that I have supplied them with a lifetime or two of grief, and that […]
I think the point of the post is that while most people don’t like their parents at some point, white people like not liking their parents.
My parents are OCD and uptight and its killing me!
Check our site out, all of the games are awesome!
dude, take a little toke from your friendly neighborhood weedman and just…..mellow……then after you hit it a few times, roll into your parents room and offer them a hit or two….then the whole family will be high, unwound, and mellow….
i am a loser with too many names and too much time. i think the reason why i’m skrewd up is cuz my dad rapes me… Blak pwr

Sorry, that’s how I get through life. At work, in school and with other people. More of a Californian thing, if I wasn’t in the state of Cal. I wouldn’t be required to, then I’m one of those autistic nerds or something tries to get by in life. I’m a product of my own environment, middle-class people get down on their luck and have to face reality. I share this guy’s sarcastic sense of humor on how he perceives the world through a “white man’s” comical point of view. +
See autism boy, I can dig up alot more on your dumb ass if you continue with this race shit that you started.
Test me bitch.
YOINK!
What you don’t seem to understand is that while the author of this blog may have some fun from time to time making generalizations about certain kinds of white people, they are still white! White people are still more wealthy and powerful in the U.S. and in the entire world than all of the groups that you mention. Pipe that in your pipe and smoke it.
I agree my bro Jimmy “D”, some families have poverty and financial difficulties passed on from the parent to the child to the grandchild and to infinity. Heck, I would like to be in an upper middle class/yuppie life…instead of a lower-middle or “non college grad./part-time worker/inner suburban” life.
Teen rebellion is more common in the white community, like a parent has an illegal/undocumented immigrant housemaid or nanny, the teens feel “this is exploitation of third world or brown-skinned people…stop the racism/neo-colonialism NOW”. That explains everything on affluent liberal whites. +
HAHA I saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com and think it’s DEF just a funny!!
Is there a stuffjewishpeoplelike.com ??
[…] could purchase said cigarettes. It would not surprise me one bit if most of these kids fit this brilliant post by Mr. Landers’ to a […]
Haha! White people LOVE justifying how their upbringing was the most painful one in the room.
Jewish people LOVE their mothers, Muslims MUST adhere to what their fathers say, Christian kids OBEY their parents as stated in the 5th commandment, and other religious beliefs on respecting their elders. Dontcha love stereotypes…and why is it again white kids are brought up to defy authority?
Thai prisons are indeed horrible places to be in.
This one is a bunch of BS, for proof please refer (or more appropriately, please reefer) to post #33
Is “Greg” here?…The folks are still made about his marriage and, well, you know, the “mongrels” (damn dawgs anyway).
I forget who said it first but it still applies, “only in America are the young so willing to give their elders the full benefit of their inexperience.”
something is wrong with the image, buddy
Damn glad I passed on the kiddos–the last thing I want is some brat growing up to hate me, then waiting for me to kick it so they can get their inheritance.
You guys are hilarious! Sorry, we must have REALLY screwed up with our SIX kids… they don’t hate us, they sit at the computer with us reading and laughing about funny Stuff White People Like.
yeh its mine, i took it down for a bit. CL said he’d change it, but hasnt
Actually, white people would brag about their abuse and misfortunes in life, or at least exaggerate it, to gain sympathy and make it seem like they had a rough upbringing.
i have to say….my father is an arogant fucking prick..he wont let me go anywhere for my holidaya and he wont even give my mum permission to take me to the beach for a few days…like shes a little girl that needs permission..hes a absolute control freak and i have no sympathy for my mum becuase its ehr own fault..she should stand up to him and let him no that he cant control her or use kids…i hope to god i dont grow up to be like my father..or worse marry someone like him…hes everything i hate in a person and i hold so much hate for him and its all his fault for being such a god damn nasty person.
I’m glad blacks, asians, mexicans, and latinos don’t exaggerate, because that’d be just awful.
Hahahaaaa
This is also why i am letting the reproduction train leave without me.
I literally never get sick of this web site!
Here’s another good one: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
Show me a bad kid and I’ll show you bad parenting… NO! Kid comes out of the womb bad.
You are incorrect,
Read the book by Jeffrey Dahmer’s Dad.
He brought his son up to love animals and living things.
He once nursed a sick bird back to life with his son to show
him how to treat living things.
10 years later,his son Jeffrey was killing people.
You are so so so wrong.
Some children are born bad.
But under no circumstances should you try to one up them, regardless of whether or not you were an orphan, abused, or watched your parents get shot. If you bring this up, the white person will never talk to you about their problems again, and you will be unable to gain their trust.
Boy this is soooooo true, one of my friends was whining about my childhood and when i told him mine, he kept quiet after that.
It’s kind of fun to laugh at ourselves from time to time!
This is bullshit and inaccurate.
“the book by Jeffrey Dahmer’s Dad” LOL. If that don’t tell you something. People can wright what ever they want, and you can believe what ever you want. I’ve been there, I’ve seen it. I’ve worked with kids. Kids from sever neglectful and or abusive back grounds. Including kids from what first appeared to be loving families. Including families whos pets were treated better than the kids.
So, I’m guessing you got kids and they’ve gone bad and you can’t stand the idea that you are the one who FU*&ed UP!!!
You meen like Fantasia for American Idol.
Correction. Not meen. Mean.
I had fairly strict parents, but never really got mad at them or hated them for it. They were strict about some things, yes, but also nice about it. I never felt like I was being really “controlled”, or the need to rebel. I always felt very fortunate to have parents like mine.
Well, I hate my mom with a passion only because she’s a manipulating bitch who told me that I wasn’t wanted when I was 8, then tried killing herself, made up lies about me, used me to get to people, and introduced me to an alcoholic who would do fucked up shit around me.
I don’t particularily like my dad too much only because we’ve gotten into like 3 fights and I’ve been kicked out multiple times for arguing with him about my distaste for black jokes being said around me.
but I’m sure others would trade their life experiences for mine.
Thank you for getting on that train, I hope you are doing your best to get all your fruitcake friends onboard as well. 🙂
soo i decided to bring my laptop into history class and read this blog instead of doing my DBQ. this is probably the only post that i have read so far and don’t agree with **takes a sip of imported tea**.
i am really abnormal because i love my parents. they are not too strict, but you would never call them overly relaxed. they have a way of getting me to do things that i am thankful of later, as much as i may not want to do it then. they are actually really cool, and they have taken me around the world. when i was little, i had heard my mom talk about phases like these, and i hoped that i would never go through one. im sixteen, and i still havent.
i am not saying that my life is peachy, though. i have been through A LOT, but my parents have been by my side. When My mom had cancer, my friends replaced the comfort that my mom provided.
I’m black and I was really frustrated by my parents. Are you saying that people of color are too socially and emotionally uncomplicated to have those feelings?
This site (BTW I’m thinking about buying up stuffstuffwhitepeoplelikeimplies.com – real zinger there – BLAH BLAH “REAL” BLACK PEOPLE LISTEN TO TRUNK RATTLIN, SHITTY RAP BLAH BLAH MEH MEH THEY’RE SO DIRECT, ALWAYS IN YOUR FACE HOOTIN N HOLLERIN BLEH BLAH BLAH SAYIN JUST WHAT THEY MEAN ALL THE TIME 24/7) is one of the more subtle cultural touchstones that helps to solidify the idea of a stereotypically “black” person: loud, racist, self-serving, prone to and damn proud of ignorance, etc. Fuck Larry Elder, too, btw.
If you propagate these ideas enough, their intended targets – especially those in a minority – will often begin to internalize them, if you were hoping to make some vague appeals for social consciousness in your self-promoting site. It WOULD be a fucking white person who tries to buy up the claim to an outsider’s perspective on white hypocrisy; of course buoyed by white hipsters who sense they are being targeted and then simply have to leave a comment on your site to exonerate themselves for being taken with this latent, particularly bad brand of foppishness.
Fuck all of the white people who don’t demand as much of us as they do of other races – out of cowardice, or whatever it may be. But, maybe even more, fuck black people who shit on the awe-inspiring legacy of the C.R.M. by claiming no personal responsibility for anything, and blaming whites for everything, when we’re just as capable as them. In a self-proclaimed free society, de jure inequality must be stamped out BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY (YEAH AWWW WHAT WHAAAAT ;( 420 ACRES AND A MULE) – de facto inequality requires finer tuning. Obviously, inequalities presently beyond anyone’s control, brought about by institutionalized racism, are still apparent. But, for better or worse, black culture, in all of its manifestations, has significantly impacted U.S. society! To wit: For better or worse, we are PART OF the national dialogue, no matter what voices with whatever motives claim we are excluded. You can even see it in the language (once again, for better or worse), no matter if its roots are in appropriation by ironic hipsters that are certainly no different than C. Lander.
Oh yeah, most of all, FUUUCK Lander’s article about ass-beatin’ dudes who don’t bother to pick fights with guys who say “Excuse me excuse me excuse me” cause they know they’d win; and FUCK his one about d bags in Ed Hardy. It’s just satire right? Fuck you for hiding behind that old excuse. So you suggest as the alternative that it’s fun to hang out with pussy hounds? That’s your preferred crowd? Really??? I suggest as your sentence for creating this hack pseudosatirical site that you must spend the rest of eternity hearing them talk about how they TOTALLY “got with” this chick who passed out.
But lastly fuck anyone who tries to claim we’ve created a “culture” in our instances of vulgarity. Yeah I know what moral relativism is, and I do believe them to be “instances” of vulgarity that jibed well decades ago with white people’s opinions on blacks, and thus black artists could become more mainstream, even though they must have been at least dimly aware they were selling out their people (How else could a song as potentially scandalous as “Sixty Minute Man” have been released in 1951 with little dissent by white purveyors of culture and taste? It condensed the prevailing white opinion of Negroes into a neat, 2:30 pop song, so it was very popular.). Be it through violence, drugs, apathy, illiteracy and other such failings, bad behavior from black artists has become a cultural institution. We exist as an ineloquent doppelganger, & thus necessarily are beholden, to the dominant white western culture. Why is it that we are so slow to realize that we have NOT eked out some dignified existence when dumbly living to be contrary to white people? Knee-jerk populist politicians say otherwise. One of my token white friends once uttered something to the effect of: “FUCK you if you think you have more in common with me cause we’re the same color.” Take that to the bank, white people. Asian people, you’ve already taken care of it. Black people: OK -ahem-you’ll have to open a bank account first, but it’s real real simple.. “OK.. first…” ;(
You do not exist.
ok and your a deusch for using every academic term from my poli sci class to try and convince white people that you are smart.
nigga found a thesaurus

this is re: the $$, u r a confused individual. this isnt IMPLYING anything about any other ethnic group. if sumthing isnt sed, tht doesnt make it true or false. its like how pleaing the fifth doesnt declare u guilty. this site is written 2 b fun, not 2 offend any1. i mean, the man is white, so its PC if he picks on his group. stereotypes r hilarious, as long as u can learn 2 get over them nd realize tht they can b VERY funny. just chill, k?

I’m white as hell and i find this shit funny.
Racism is retarded, But a good sense of humor is never a bad thing. I read the camping article and laughed my ass off. it was pretty funny. all though pretty incorrect it was funny.
Yes i do enjoy camping and no i do not go to a store and buy a bunch of shit i take a tent some food some beer some weed and have a good time with my friends you know? And to say only white people like camping is also incorrect lol.
No clue where I’m going with this.
But i think everyone should try camping… get an air mattress a tent have a fire with your friends and drink and smoke till the sun comes up pass out and do it again then go home. it’s a great weekend. Who need’s technology when you got all your friends and some beer. sit around the warm fire and bullshit all night. it’s relaxing.

Dude – that girl on My So Called Life was miserable all the time and hated her parents… I don’t think that’s in the same category as OC
Good write up Christian. I have to agree that white people have to be the most ungrateful to their parents. And yes, talking about how much they hate their parents is good for conversation.
I’m white and I hate my dad, love my mom. But for good reason. Just because I’m white doesn’t mean I should hate my parents.
..That is unless your parents smoke weed with you
I live in a neighborhood where most people are white. And, what this blog says seems so true.
What I notice is that most white people expect you to come to places without your kids. Even in church, the children are apart.
The children are only seen in family trips which is not always and in school. There is a lot babysitting and stay home alone going on.

In order to understand why some white people say they “hate” their parents, you need to understand that many middle-class and upper-middle-class white parents don’t show love for their children unless they succeed in school, sports, or socially. Although too many of us were spoiled in a material sense, a LOT of us were emotionally neglected. To me, it seems that more Afro-American and Latino parents love their children unconditionally, and aren’t afraid to let their children know it.
Although I don’t “hate” my parents, I certainly wish that they’d had the wisdom to question a lot of negative white values!
Wow. Antique White, you hit the nail on the head. I also feel the same way. I only felt the love when I received “good” grades or played well in a sport. Unfortunately, I’m not athletic. I’m artistic (oooh surprise I’m reading this blog…meeeeeeeh…). Unfortunately, the arts were not appreciated in my family and I was ALWAYS encouraged to enter a field that made money (law…science…etc.). Thankfully, I stood my ground and am happily earning a decent living as an artist. Living my dream. I’m not financially wealthy by any means. But happy? Absolutely. But I digress…
I envied those kids that I knew on the lower rung of the socioeconomic ladder. Their families on the whole seemed much much happier.
Yeah, our Asian parents show us love too by beating us with anything within reaching distance of their arms, stone-walling because it’s weak to show emotions, and sometimes getting shot execution-style during all the wars in Asia when we were much younger, making some of us refugees in the USA. That’s why we’re so perfect: getting straight As, playing the piano, being doctors, etc etc 🙂
I will never talk to you again and I dont trust you!
sad but ture thats may not hold true for all whites but it does for me.
LOL, I merely thought I hated my mom(and there still is some strain between us, but it’s to the point that I’m indifferent rather than angry). Then I had a boyfriend who, at 25(and I was 24), was still being ordered around by his control-freak mother like a little boy. He wouldn’t stand up for himself or for me. I dumped him because of that – not because his mom wanted to contact schools/employers on his behalf and run his life but because he let her do it.
Actually we minorities usually have religion and “arts” are not just called a hobby not a career, I get pretty good grades cause I get good grades and RESPECT my parents. That is it RESPECT through disipline that way. we also spend more time with our familys and dont spend all our time texting and watching the hills
I Googled the question “why do white people hate their parents” and it brought me here. I can honestly say it seems true. I can only speak for my race, but it takes a lot to make us not want anything to do with our families, especially our mother and father. We may get upset at them, but we still love them and let them know we love them. We still try to have relationships with our parents as adults and like to spend time with them. I was working with this white guy, same age as me and he had written on some paper in a pile that wasn’t meant for anyone to see a list of goals for the new year. One of those things was to “call parents at least once a month” What the F&** is that? Once a month and you have to force yourself to do even that? I would never go that long without checking on my parents. My son has mostly white friends and they are always complaining about how they hate their parents. One girl got mad because her mom only took her out to eat on her 18th birthday. She really took offense to the fact that her mother didn’t give her anything else. Maybe her mother didn’t have the money?? I don’t know, I just think that’s pretty sad.
that or they are stuck on that they lived on a farm in alabama and they did’nt need half the crap I do (even though they are well off themselves) (laptop phone car etc) cause I was fine with out a car or why do you need a phone? and just go to the library even when its pouring rain and we are too busy to give you a ride cause we are using the computers….I am thankful they raised me but after I get my job after collage im packing up and I’m done
I had lax parents in that they were too busy working full time and buying and selling their houses in a constant bid to upgrade, so they didn’t really have time to make sure I did my homework or even keep tabs on how I was going at school until they got the bad reports at the end of every term. Of course when the bad reports came I’d promise to do better and as believing that was actually easier than making some effort to help me my parents were satisfied with that and the poor performances continued. My mum also thought it was okay to let smoke cigarettes at thirteen as trying to stop me “would only make me want to do it more” plus she didn’t like me spending my lunch money on smokes, so she’d buy my smokes and give me money for lunch. Once I got to sixteen and started drinking and smoking dope she gave me $30 a week pocket money to help facilitate that. But once my habit got too big for $30 to cover I dropped out of school half way through year ten and got a shit kicking job in a factory so I could fund my vices. By 22 I was in a rehab with speed psychosis. I’m now 40 and two weeks ago my mother and I have fallen out, she rang me up basically saying that she wasn’t sure if it was worth continuing our relationship and this time I called her bluff and said fine, because I thought she was being unreasonable and I wasn’t willing to eat shit. Basically my mother would put a lot of unrealistic expectations on me, my wife and kids and then crack the shits and threaten to have nothing to do with us anymore if we ever failed to meet her expectations. It was hell and whenever she was around my wife and I would always be on edge about saying something that would anger her and then cause her to threaten wiping us out of her and her husband’s life. Last year she casually announced that they were going interstate for Xmas meaning that they would not see their grand kids for Xmas and they’d miss my 40 th birthday. Yet, this year I rang my mum’s house three times on Birthday, knowing she’d crack the shits if I didn’t, but I kept getting the answering machine. Eventually she called me back at 9 o clock after my kids were asleep and cracked it about the fact that her grandkids hadn’t wished her a happy birthday. These are just a couple of instances there are many many more. Anyhoodle, I’m sick of living in fear of her anger and I’m sick of her threatening to wipe us out of her life every time we do some minor thing that she decides to become enraged about it. Fuck it I’m done. Being related by blood doesn’t give you the right to abuse, threaten and guilt trip me.
i’m white and definatley love my parents. my white parents are so nice to me and they love me. nonwhites on here act like they know but they dont know most white families. its funny on some thes topics whites get mocked for doing the right thing.
I love that some commenters have seen this as an invite to tell lengthy, emotional stories about their relationships with their parents. Spot the white people 🙂
According to this recent interview Christian Lander, the guy who started this blog, doesn’t read the comments on the blog anymore because they upset him too much. He also says he doesn’t remove troll comments either, which explains all the troll comments on the Obama thread. Anyhoodle it’s a good interview and gives a real insight into where he was coming from when he started his Stuff White People Like blog.

I live in Bangkok, in a expat exile community. About 90% of the folks are here because they hate their parents. They talk about it all the time. Standard issue white folks
Don’t look now, but any article on any topic, if posted online, will generate a raft of abysmally boring, narcissistic, and pointless anecdotal diarrhea from the teeming white masses.
LOL I saw this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and must admit, it’s super funny as well.
Erm, hate to break it to you, but this isn’t limited to just white people.
i like my parents…and they’re about as strict as you can get. (no, seriously, european white. not american white) im pretty sure everyone goes through a point where they dont agree with their parents but as far as hating them? idk.
not trying to rain on your parade knowing now that you love your parents n all, but this is called satire, to many people on this site take this stuff way to literally, this guy is generalizing and being satirical.
My parents divorced when I was 6.
I was placed with my Mom. I didn’t see my Dad again till I was 16. I saw my Dad couple more times 5 years ago. I haven’t heard from him since. This year, I wrote him a letter the day before my birthday, in the hopes I would hear back from him. He didn’t write back.
My Mom, she’s has informed me as of late. They she’s does not have to express courtesy “please pass this”, “Thank you”, etc. to me, but she does to everyone else. She feels she can say whatever she wants at 67. When my mother was growing up, her Mother was really hard on her. She treats me more like an annoyance. As for my brother she put him through college, always defending him, taking care of him.
We recently had a birthday dinner, since my mother and my birthday is 6 days apart we shared our birthday dinner. I wanted to sit next to her at the dinner table. However she preferred to sit next to her friends. She had to announce to the table that she had to sit next me, and she’s apologized for it.
I spoke in Francaise to the waiter, and after the waiter walked away, she asked what we’re talking about, and I told her. She replied to me “Just because to failed French in High School, and been to France, and had to translate for a few others while I was there, this does not mean in any way that you can speak French”.
Then, my Mom explained to the table that I always criticize her, and she’s sorry everyone had to hear it. Everyone felt an awkward silence at the table.
While at dinner I tried to tell my Mom, three stories. She would cut me off and start up a conversation with someone else.
My Mom goes on trips with my brother all the time. 2001 they traveled all over, including Ireland, where my Mother’s Father and Mother grew up. I never knew about the trip till 9/11, when I received an email stating they were in Ireland and it will take a week before the US will allow international flights in. When they got home I was happy to see them but at the same time betrayed.
Whenever I try to tell my Mom about what’s going on in my life, she get’s nasty when I tell her something exciting as in “well, it must be nice to do that, aren’t you lucky, I wish I could do something like that but I’m not you”.
Later, I asked Mom when we were going, and she told me she’s gone for the last time
Every time I travel, I tell my friends and family my itinerary, and how they can reach me, just in case something was to happen. My family feels they can share the info amongst others but not me.
Your mum sounds like a bitch, Christine and your brother shouldn’t be complicit in letting her treat you this way either. At the end of the day we need to practice principles before personalities, meaning that just because someone is related to you it doesn’t mean that you should have to accept behaviour (abuse) from them that you wouldn’t accept from anybody else. As I wrote earlier my mother told me a few months ago that she didn’t want to see me and her grand kids anymore and that was the last time we spoke. Today is my birthday and Xmas is in a few days. If we don’t speak to each other on either one of these days I think that will be very significant. I thought about reaching out to my mum in the past few days to clear the air so we could speak on my birthday but she is such a nut she’d probably think that I was calling her just so I could get some birthday money from her or something. Yet, if I don’t call her today she’ll probably be indignant about what an asshole I am for not calling her on my birthday. Bottom line with my mum is that no matter what I do, or don’t do, she’ll accuse me of under handed or selfish motives. I’ve thought about trying to call her to smooth things over during the past few weeks but then I think to myself do I really want to invite all that anxiety back into my life? At this stage the answer is no. I’m sick of having to accept I’m wrong just because someone says I am.
i’m black and my mom loves me TO DEATH!
I’m black and my mom loves me TO DEATH! i dont get why teenage white kids hate their parents. they just need to be smacked upside the head. i know my mom gave a lot for me, and my family members all took care of me and i have such a good time with my mom. but she had a hard life, and said that she wants me to have a good life. thus we are so close! sometimes we’re not even on the same page when we talk. i guess if you have a parent that had a hard childhood, chances are they’ll love you to death, even if you AREN’T their child.
i’ll admit i was ungreatful a few times when i was a little kid (6 yrs)
Good for you, Mi.
Frank, your Mom is probably in the early stages of dementia or Alzheimers. Check out http://www.alz.org. Same thing happened to me about 10 years ago; didn’t speak to my Mom for over 7 years. Take it from someone who has been there, it’s not all about you. It’s an illness and odds are she’s got it.

I dont hate both my parents just my dad, he is the kind of guy who grounds me for saying a bad word, or screams at me for it in front of my friends. he also publicaly yells at my mom and he will grab us and shake us… my friends never want to come over anymore because they scare him, and truthfully once i leave this town ill never be back!!!
White people, well all people, also enjoy http://www.NakedHipster.com. Mainly because the girls are hot and don’t have clothes on. Usually those two things go well together. You know, the hotness and the nakedness.
{}{}{}{}
I love my mom to DEATH! Same with my dad. You don’t know me. 🙂
wonderful post I really appreciate the info!
I thought that was more of an ethnic thing cause they get beat by them.
Om my god, this is so true. I was in Latin class the other day and all the white girls in my grouup were talking about how much they hate their parents.
Wow, and here I was thinking that not all stereotypes were ture but this one’s spot on!
@ Elisa yes it is true…sad but true
nahh, see we “ethnic” peeps get beat at such a young age, that beatings start to have the opposite effect. As in, we’re too aware of the possibility of a back slap or a flying object, to risk hating our parents. It works quite well for us actually.
This is pretty true. White kids who usually have everything they want in life still manage to find a way to hate their parents. That Explains the “emo” image.
I am Caucasian, and i really don’t know about this one
my parents have been divorced since i was 3 and i live half time with both (2 weeks at one, 2 weeks at another). My dad is the stereotypical strict christian white father that never lets his daughter go to parties or hang out with guys. My mom is the stereotypical laid back, i dont give a f*** white mother that lets her daughter do whatever she wants and tries to do whatever she can to make her happy.
Overall, i dont hate either of them. i wish my upbringing could have been a little more family base but i will always love my parents for who they are ❤ ❤ ❤
The white kids at my school are always complaining about how they hate their parents and how their parents suck. About half of them don’t complain anymore, though, because it will usually go like this.
“I HATE my mom, she grounded me from my phone for two days and all I did was backtalk her! D:<"
"Is that all you got? Ha you're lucky"
"… What do you get?"
"What do the four fingers say to the face? SLAP!"
"….O_O"
Silly white people. Hope none of you get adopted by a Latina 😉
wow i’m learning so much about white people. I don’t get to socialize with white people much since I spend most of my time studying different languages and at the library…I don’t really get out much. White people should love their parents, I suppose they have the music they listen to, to blame for their depressive feelings. Emo, Screamo, and the like. There should be happy music 🙂
I think this blog is awesome… almost as awesome as mine (obviously my opinion is slightly bias).
DanielDickey.com
white folk is lucky
i have so many choices of parents to hate i dont know which one is which that i can pick to hate.
duz that make cents?
White people judge you when you don’t speak English correctly.
I had no idea how “white” I really am. The best thing about this blogg (that’s what it’s called right?) is it enables me to perfect my whiteness by liking things that I didn’t know I should really like.
thanks to the authors(s).
All my white friends despise their parents,over something stupid like there mom wouldn’t let them have a cookie
Un-ironic statement here: when I was a lot younger, I was rather shocked to realize that talking about hating one’s parents was a fairly common practice among youngs white people.
I’m lilly fucking white and I fucking hate almost every white person I’ve ever talked to on this one. Why they feel the need to one-up someone when they’re just looking for a compassionate shoulder to cry on I really don’t know. I hate my parents as a natural reaction to who and what they are and their excessive actions against me, NOT as a trendy social mechanism. My parents starved me, beat me for no reason, beat me for reasons that didn’t justify beating, beat me for things I didn’t do, beat me for things that they did-this one requires some clarification: in my parents world reality had no concrete vantage point. To them reality was simply what you chose to remember it as, what they wanted it to be and that was good enough for them. Example: one day my mother punched me in the throat and then asked me why I just hit her in the throat. Another example: another day my brother said something rude to my mother in a conversation I was not a part of at all and that prompted her to pick ME up off the couch by my hair and then proceed to beat the shit out of me. She then threw herself out the front door and then yanked herself back into the house and slammed the door behind her. Then she called the police on me and told them that I attacked her for no reason and she tried her damndest to escape through the front door and her “big bad evil son” yanked her back in the house and continued to beat her mercilessly. I had scratches all over my face, abrasions all over, patches of my hair ripped out and I was just a little kid, HALF her size AND my brother was a witness to all this. She didn’t have a scratch on her. Yet she sticks to her version of the event to this day. Anyhoo, on with my parents crowning parental achievements. They didn’t allow me to have friends, they denied me an education beyond the third grade, locked my brother and I in an unfurnished room when we were little, sometimes for days on end with no food or water and no bathroom access-you fill in the blanks. I could go on and on and on…. My earliest memories are of being in this room, the first one of being picked up by my diapers and being tossed in there like a bowling ball and my head slamming into the wall, door shutting behind me… Growing up, not eating for days was common. I had to steal money from them so I could buy food. I ate out of dumpsters. Through my malnutrition induced fatigue I came to realize in my early teenage years why all this was happening to me. My mother wanted me weak, stupid, uneducated and controllable. I was a fucking toy to her, a plaything. Not a human. How all of this might and did affect and hurt me was not a concern. All that mattered was her pleasure. Where is my father in all of this some of you might ask? Well,
Mother: puppeteer
Father: puppet
Now, 99%+ of the white people I’ve talked to about hating parents actually think their parents are worse than mine. They are wrong. They are offended by my assertion that they are wrong. I don’t understand these little bitches. If 99%+ of even just the white parents on this earth were worse than mine society would not be. Sanity would be an otherworldly concept. There would be no countries. Anarchy and mayhem would be the only way of life. As for that other fraction of a percentage point, I have known kids that have been raped by their parents, uncles, aunts. Kids that have actually watched loved family members murdered right in front of them. Orphans. Kids that survived murder attempts by their parents. Kids that were starved so bad that they look 6 years younger and shorter than they really are. When I talked to them about my problems they usually shut up and listened. When they told me about their problems I shut up and listened, as well I should have. They never tried to one up me and put me in my place. Only the kids with good lives did. So for you little bitches who are forbidden to smoke pot in the house, are being given shit about your grades, getting guff about not looking for a job,… just shut the fuck up. I really want to see this trend of having the worst parents just die and fizzle out. It’s so fucking fake. These kids don’t know what real hate is. It’s not something you can choose to do. It’s evoked and that’s the only way it comes into existence, just like love. You can’t force love. You also can’t force hate. Go home and reevaluate your folks, give them a hug for huggings’ sake. At least try to find a way to love them for not making you like me. And if you are capable of pulling hate out of thin air do me a favor and hate my parents for me because I’m getting tired of doing it myself. It’s burning me out.
Bands from Orange County and Florida? Do you mean:
Florida = Death Metal
Orange County = Metalcore
I really hate my family. They have become so useless since I left their side.
They should’ve killed you.
Nope Im mixed nd I was raised w/ my black side-Fukkin hate those people,Nd my mom is always like “Get your hair out your damn face!” Nd stuff (Shes always making fun of my dress style to-Im sorta emo w/ a scene attitude lol so hate her!
I know how you feel. I am mixed too. I was raised by my mom which is white but she hangs out with the black side adn well as that type of attitude all the time. She doesn’y take all the personalities but when is come to talking or being pissed you can tell. I dont get told what to do with my hair or my clothes. The problem with her is that she is lazy as hell. she has 7 kids including me and I basicallt take her place as a mother. Getting them up for school getting them home. Doing homewok. Cooking sometimes. And then she ground me when sometimes doesnt go right or pisses her off. We moved to wear she could get closer to her bf and away from my friends so im stuck here all day long. Its bull but ive dealt with it since 9 and im 16 now. Ill deal until 18:p Sorry for babbling on.
I know how you feel. I was/is is in the same if not similar predicament as you. And although you been handed an inconvenient deck of cards you have the resilience to do anything you set your mind too through it all. I am 19 and my second year of college now.
But even with me having to go to a nearby college and working and going to school closer to home; even with having to be the “mother” to my mother sometimes, and my father forgetting he has children, I keep in mind that I am only working to make things better for me and my brothers (I am the only girl and I am one of seven too).
I am still trying to figure things out but I just want to tell you to keep your head up and know what you want to do and work for it. Don’t repeat the cycle and don’t let anyone take your future from you. That’s the best thing you can invest in (=.

[…] 5) Hating their parents: “White people love to talk about how much they hate their parents, so if you are in a situation where you need to gain a white person’s trust, ask them about their parents. But under no circumstances should you try to one up them, regardless of whether or not you were an orphan, abused, or watched your parents get shot.” […]
What is your advice for first time parents?…
Never expect gratitude for your efforts, no matter how hard you work to put food on the table, help them with their homework, chauffeur them, clean up after them, bail them out of jail, etc. More likely than not, your kids will be ungrateful well into …

[…] Before recounting today’s adventures, I thought I’d share a little more about my apartment. I rent a flat on the top floor of a three-story building owned by my landlord. India is a family centered country, where having three generations in one household is the norm, and there is no concept of “extended family.” Your Uncle’s children are not your cousins, but your brothers and sisters. (Indians will sometimes clarify their relations to foreigners by distinguishing who is their actual brother or sister and who is their “cousin-brother” or “cousin-sister”) The first floor of my building is shared by my landlord, his wife, and his adorable and ancient parents. The second floor belongs to his cousin-brother and sister-in-law. It’s interesting to think that if I were to tell them that the thought of implementing this living arrangement with my own family would result in either suicide or homicide, they wouldn’t have the slightest idea what I was talking about. Someone should send this to my landlord for a little cultural understanding: https://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/01/22/16-hating-your-parents/ […]

I’m really glad this blog exists. I googled “are there people who like their parents” and this was the best resource because while I don’t really hate my parents, there’s so much that I don’t like for very good reason that I don’t exactly like them either and my husband is in the same boat. Therefore, I was curious if there are people who actually like and adore their parents and some of the responses confirm that, though it’d be nice to learn why they feel that way. I feel like I can guess though…
In China we respect our parents. Ungrateful brats!!!
This just blew my mind. I’m a college dropout and my sister’s a painter.
This was absolutely hilarious.

Yes, I had to do my homework. No, I don’t hate my parents. I love them both very much.
We have the best reviews on line at Pissed Consumer.
I am Black and I hate my parents. I have hated them since I was five. I can’t fully explain the feeling I just hate them. Basically they have always treated us like we were property and tried to control us…or they neglected us acting like we were born fully self-reliant adults. They only helped us if they knew other parents were watching and they liked to keep up with the Jones’ but it was never out of love. My mother is a selfish bitch who only cares about herself and my father is a spineless wimp that does whatever she says without question. My mother is an attention craving child who was verbally and physically abusive. All she ever did was yell and beat people over the littlest things. I am an adult now and I still hate her. I finally had the courage to tell her off as an adult because I would have been beat as a child if I did. I had to move back home and almost killed myself.
Black people hit their kids too much. It creates anger and depression. White parents give their kids ego and with that confidence they succeed.
im not even white, im not living in the USA or Europe. im not hating my parents, its just sometimes in our cultures, when mom upset with our attitude or just having a bad mood and throw every mistake to us. they’ll begin to giving you one hour lecture about another else child, how nice they’re, how clever they’re, how beautiful they’re and hoping for me to become one like them. this the one im HATE the most. being compare with another else, its give me feeling like why you dont take them as your child and raised me instead ?? (sorry bad english)
Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems
with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
That is a really good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere. Brief but very precise info Many thanks for sharing this one. A must read post!
I will immediately take hold of your rss as I can’t find your e-mail subscription link or newsletter service.
Do you have any? Kindly let me know so that I could subscribe.
Thanks.
Howdy I am so glad I found your blog, I really found you by mistake, while I was researching on Digg for
something else, Nonetheless I am here now and
would just like to say many thanks for a remarkable post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love the
theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it
all at the moment but I have bookmarked it and also added in your RSS feeds, so
when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up
the excellent work.
excellent put up, very informative. I wonder why the
other experts of this sector don’t realize this. You must continue
your writing. I am sure, you’ve a great readers’ base already!
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
But imagine if you added some great graphics
or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and
clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the most beneficial
in its niche. Superb blog!
Great post. I was checking constantly this weblog and I am impressed!
Very useful information specifically the final part
🙂 I care for such information much. I was looking for
this particular information for a long time. Thanks and best of luck.

I’m confused. I looked up stuff about kids hating their parents. Why is everyone talking about white people?
I’m a honky gringo cracker and I hate my incubator, but she was a psychopathic Nazi bitch cabbage person. (Kraut. I’m also from the land of the cabbage people, but I got dragged to the u.s. when I was 6.) Crotch dropping abuser. My sperm donor, I feel nothing for. I disowned everyone related to me (I think they’re a liability now. They did what they had to do, and now they can stay in my PAST.), and think they were stupid for having me, but I was a mantrap for the parasite that needed a host, that was my incubator, and a way for her to get out of East Germany.
But I do know some honky gringo crackers who actually have functional relationships. I’ve never lived with one, though. It’s not exclusive to them, though. I had a Navajo b/f once. He said his mom was a slave driver, but he still talked to her. I liked her, though. He’s the only ex that I kinda miss some times. He had to go back to the rez, and I couldn’t follow.
What a racist blog. May JAH bless you with Love and Peace.
I understand the humor. But for children who happen to be white children and were actually beaten, psychologically abused, emotionally abused, and/or deliberately isolated from the rest of the world by their parents this kind of mindset actually makes it difficult for them to seek help later in life because, oh, another white kid that hates their parents.
I hate my mom and I hate her husband. I need to get this out of my mind because it’s eating me up inside. I will save all the bloggers the suspense or guessing make this easy for you to process. Make your preconcieved notions accuratly…. I am black, and a woman. If I were white I guess I would be relavent to this post but, I am not. I hate my step parent Father and my biological mother I loathe my mother and the hollow cavity that I was spewed from. I hate her because she has the power to turn every living thing she touches to shit. Every meaningful relationship I have ever had, she has either ruined or damaged severly. For example, my biological father paid for clothes, trips to visit him in Hawaii, bought me a puppy, birthday gifts, christmas gifts, made me tape recordings of his voice reading books to me.He included a walkman I begged for for christmas. He always tried to make me happy. He knew that my mother discredited any gift,any act of love that my Father awarded me. She would mock him in my presence with her friends as an audience. She degraded his character by criticizing him, and name calling. They married when they were 18 and divorced by the time I was a year old. My Father remarried first// a pacific Island lady( I hate her too). This made my mother even more resentful and bitter. My mother dated a few guys after her divorce. She first dated a guy she met in rehab when I was 3 or 4. His name was nate ” daddy nate”. He was a recovering heroin addict that my mom tried to interject into my life as a father replacement to fullfil her inadeqicies. “daddy nate was a pedophile. I cant type the details because Ive already dealt with it with in myself. Me and mom often took trips during this time to her other side pieces house to visit when he came into town from his trucking job. When all the new men my mom were deemed unsutiable for providing her with weed, clothes and gas for her car( disreguard if they were a suitable co parent) , she extinguished the relationships for one that alotted her the amenities she requires. My grandmother IS the provider of love, childcare, food, shelter, car, medical care, clothes, weed money. My mom’s mom IS my mom and dad. Like most “black kids”…. She raised me. She got counseling for me to help me recover from the sexual abuse by the time I was 8. She was my salvation yet for a moment during my teenage years I grew to resent her for enabling my mom. Giving her all she needed to be a mediocre mother and a under achieving daughter. She had all the support she’s never granted me or even granted herself. I hate her because everthing has always been someone else’s fault. My dad was the bad parent, my grandmother was an enabler, my stepfather is emotionally void. No one lives up to her exceedingly high expectations. Yet her personal expectations are seemingly low. She never attended college. She judges everyone like she is some type of pilar in the family, but she’s a looser. My dad is your average JOE who had big dreams in a small run down town, but never had enough ambition to fullfill his own dreams. He lives vicariously through my younger brother who is a sucessful DJ. I’m writing this because I now have a ok relationship with my dad, but me and the birth canal dont get along to this day and I’m almost 32. I cant wait till I get the call that she has rectal cancer and she needs family support. I plan to use that opportunity to abuse her in her vulnerable state. Now that I have children I hate both of them for not takingon the responsibility seriously. My stepdad has a daughter with my mom. My mom remarried when I was 6 and my sister was born when I was 10. I hate her as well. It wasnt always this way, thanks to my mother. She told my sister bad stuff about me the same way she did with me and my dad…. So she’s ruined the realtionship with my dad, my grandmother (paternal and maternal) my sister, not to mention friendships/ future relationships…. ALL TURNED TO SHIT. Im trying to put the pieces of my interpersonal relatioships and intimate interactions togther slowly but, I have PTSD and boeadreline personality disorder so it’s been an ongoing challenge. I will always hate her until she can give me the same love and compassion she shows my sister and take some accountability for the abuse from her boyfriends and husband. That will be my position. I plan to read this at her ulogy
Well I suppose his is because whites are superior and go through the natural process of becoming autonomous from their parents and get jobs and have their own homes while blacks and Mexicans and other less superior and evoled races hold their children back from personal growth and therefor they all end up living together in one home dependent on each other’s public assistance, fried chicken, and pot of beans. You should be thanking the whites for paying their employment taxes, not generalizing them. Oops, I just generalized too, isn’t that funny! Lol, sincerely not racist white person who does not hate his parents
As far as I can tell hating your parents is now a requirement for graduating from college. It is also the de rigueur response and catchall alibi for any and all failings in life, but only if you grew up in household with a mother and father which was that was well-off economically. That is now considered a very unhealthy situation and is the reason white people are so unhappy.

I’m white and hate my parents, but only because they liked to beat up on me and deny me medical care. I’ve been reading thru the comments trying to find out if there’s any truth to my hypothesis that white parents all secretly resent their kids.
what galls me most abt my parents is their laziness; my family was very well-off economically, but that didn’t keep my mom from taking out her imagined frustrations on me. I never, ever knew what the abuse was about.
Thats ridiculous I may have been disgruntled with my parents at some point but I always love them more than anything they’ve always been there for me and they always help me out whenever I needed it, The truth is black people make ignorant comments like the ones listed in this post because there so embarrassed of there own lives and hope that putting down people that are beter then them will distract others from seeing how screwed up they are.
White guy here. And no, I don’t hate on my parents just because. Although I do see a lot of teenybopper attention seekers (mostly, er… white:P) who post all kinds of convoluted shit on Facebook about how their daddies hit them and how their lives are nothing but an eternal dark abyss of pure, uncut, tortured existence. ‘Cause that’s the sorta shit Nietzsche wrote about. Deep as, bruh.
I think it must be said that it’s mostly white people of anglo and germanic descent that have these problem with their parents and that might be because mothers are not very motherly in these cultures. In other cultures, specially southern European countries but also eastern Europe mothers are much more “motherly”. For example: an Italian mom my slap her child but she will love her child above anything else and even when the child is 40 years old, he will still be her baby. An English snub mom would never lay hands on her child, instead she will be cold and distant when he behaves badly and by age 18 when her child has become a drug addict she will end her duties as a parent as the child is already 18 and will no longer worry about it, instead she will worry about more important things like re-decorating the house.
[…] — Caucasian: – It is misconceived that white youth hate their parents to the point of wanting to “kill” them. Twyla, during her childhood, states that she “could have killed” her mother multiple […]
I’m not saying teenagers shouldn’t whine, but that having the privilege to do that is precisely that: a privilege. In an ideal world, I’d say we should all be able to go through our own teen angst and soul-searching.
