My grandparents are controlling and sadly I have to live with them. They think they have a right to knowing what goes on in my head, what's on my computer, and what's on my phone. It feels very invasive and I plan on going low or no contact with them once I'm able to buy at least an apartment. Sometimes I feel guilty but I can't stand living with them.

You know, the whole controlling parent thing is true, but the opposite can be just as damaging. When I was in high school, my parents were getting a divorce. So, both parents took it different. My dad drowned himself in work, turning into a workaholic, neglecting everything else in his life. My mom decided to finally explore herself and find out all her passions she didn't have while married. That left me neglected 85 percent of the time when I lived with my mom, and 90 percent when I eventually lived with my dad. So, I acted out, of course. Not blaming them for my own stupid actions, just explaining the situation. My older sister saw the issues, and attempted to be the parent for me, which was needed, but I resisted as a rebellious teen would, not wanting my sister to be my parent. Well, she did break my trust of breaking into my phone, laptop, and accounts online eventually to be sure I was being safe, but that only made me more paranoid to leave stuff around her, let alone at home or anywhere. I also can't blame her for this situation since she was trying to step into the role of parent as a young 20 year old to a teenager. She didn't realize her errors, but it took literal years for me to get over my trust issues set from that, but I did thankfully passed high school, which I was on the road to not do, and went to get a job and to to college thanks to her push. So, despite these sort of situations, people can drown or thrive given enough. Not saying all of their actions were good, they weren't. I wasn't any better with my own either. We all needed to heal and grow. Mend things, which has happened mostly. Still an ongoing thing, but there is progress. Its been over 10 years.

And 7 hours is more like LA to San Francisco, that's not even leaving California. I do not envy that guy.

Here’s a custody story for you. Back when I was married, my exwife’s father sued us for “grandparents rights”. The basis for his argument? I have a “fuck off” tattoo on my arm. Why did we stop letting him see the kids? He’s mentally ill. When he was on his meds, he was okay. When he would stop taking his meds, he would get drunk and high in front of our kids and instantly blamed his brother. On one occasion, my exwife and I went to go see “Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King” in the theater and he had offered to watch the kids. My daughter pooped herself (she was 18 months old at the time) and he called me at the theater demanding that I come over to change my daughter. I said, “You offered to watch the kids. She is your responsibility right now. Change her”. He didn’t. When we came back from the movie, she had HORRIBLE diaper rash to the point that she was screaming and shaking from the pain of wiping her with diaper wipes when I cleaned her. After I got done, I yelled at him for not changing her. He tried to say that’s not what he agreed to. I said, “YES IT IS! THE SECOND WE DROPPED THEM OFF AFTER YOU OFFERED TO WATCH THEM, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU AGREED TO!” I told my exwife that I don’t want him watching the kids again. He apologized to her, not me, and she kept telling me that he should be allowed. I relented, like an idiot. On another occasion, I had stepped outside for a cigarette. My exwife showed up with my daughter (who was just old enough to start eating baby food) after being fed, so her face was messy. Her father showed up, grabbed my daughter and said in his baby speaking voice, “Mommy and daddy are slobs, aren’t they?”, all because we hadn’t cleaned her face yet. I yelled at him for just being an asshole. There are quite a few stories of this type of behavior. There were so many of these stories that by the time my daughter was 3 or 4 years old, we cut off all communication with her father. On another occasion, he was watching the news and a story came on about parents rubbing their kids noses into their dirty diapers like they were dogs. We had been watching the same news story. 30 seconds after the story finished, he was convinced that we were doing that to our kids as well. My first words to him after he had uttered those idiotic words, “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?” He never liked me because I had ALWAYS stood up to him when his behavior got really bad. When we got divorced, my ex wife’s behavior became just as erratic.

Having boundaries and enforcing them are two different things. It's hard when abusive parents have any leverage over you (from intangible love and advice to tangible food or money) to force cooperation. Sometimes they're in love with having power over someone. Sometimes they rely on their kids to be surrogate spouses, adult friends, or therapists. Sometimes they vicariously live through their kids.

So… fun fact about personality disorders. Most personality disorders are “Egosyntonic”, meaning that the person with the disorder is incapable of seeing anything wrong with their behaviors. While other conditions like depression or anxiety are “Egodystonic”, meaning that people with those conditions can recognize that something is wrong with their behavior, people with narcissistic personality disorder do not have that capability. They may recognize that outcomes are not coming out as they would want but reaching the point where they might be willing to try behaviors that seem totally arbitrary and bothersome rather than continue behaviors they can literally see no problems with often takes years of therapy, if they can be talked into receiving therapy at all for what they see as a “non-issue”.

This reminded me what happened to me 5 years. My best friend and I were going the zoo due to a a deal if you take cota tsr free, you get a free admission to the zoo. We took the bus and the bus was packed. On our way to the zoo, we got rear ended. The bus stopped. This is where we have the entitled dad comes in. He was upset and left the bus. Now, I didn't know what happened. But, he look the next bus. Later, the bus was pulled off to the side and the dad got arrested. We later found out that the person who rear ended us was a 16 year old boy who just got his license. The entitled dad assaulted the kid and stole his keys and wallet. It was on the abc 6 website a day later talking about the incident.

The enablers' excuses also make it that much more difficult to find help + entrench stigmas against those who are targets of abuse and those who suffer mental illnesses and injuries as a result of the abuse.

My paternal gm would probably sue to see me and my one cousin and were 26 and 31 respectively, and my maternal gm would probably sue for rights of my mom and uncle, both at least in their late 40s.

There really are two general types of entitled parents: The ones who don’t control their kids, and one’s who are too controlling. (P.s: I say generally because I know there are some E.P in the gray area or can change. But most fall into these categories)

I have 4 kids. I never took them on a plane, but if I had, they WOULD NOT have been allowed to behave like that. I call BS on "I have 4 of them, what do you want me to do?" PARENT YOUR CHILDREN.

Back in 2015, my family and I were flying to Toronto on a flight and this guy was drunk and started throwing a temper tantrum. I was also wearing headphones but I took them out when I heard the flight attendant yell for him to put his seat belt on and an RCMP officer started screaming at him and started restraining him. We had to divert to Thunder Bay to get them off the plane and the RCMP officer's vacation was ruined as a result, but I managed to thank him for his service before then. That event also got on the news.

Regarding RSlash’s reaction to Story 3: my father and his current wife are exactly like that. Their egos are so big they think the whole world is crazy and only they and a portion of their small circle of friends (three people out of maybe seven) are sane.

Regarding the first story, there's an incident that happened on 4-29-21 where a woman repeatedly hit a couple of flight attendants. She's facing up to 20 years in prison. She didn't threaten to kill anyone, so I know he'll most likely get at least 10 years and a huge fine for that one.

And ended up somewhere he shouldn't have. Like the bull arena

The Last Story with the helicopter dad pissed me off so much I had to pause and vent to myself about it. Like that dad is so controlling. I feel so sorry for that girl that she has to deal with a parent like that because nobody should have to deal with a parent like that. It's her life and he should not be dictating what she can and can't do especially if she's a grown woman. And he's doing all this because his mother's sick? I understand that people get stressed out and sometimes they lash out but that does not excuse his bad behavior towards his daughter. If my dad acted like that towards me, I would have put him in his place because there's no way my parents would treating me that way, I would not stand for it. The story pisses me off so much and I feel so sorry for that girl. That dad is going to end up in a nursing home.

First story: I'm surprised the plane was only two hours late. With all that going on, I figured it would be five hours or more.

Idk if those "unruly passengers" realize just how bad they are gonna get screwed. The fines alone can be tens of thousands. Ef around & find out, I guess, but a plane is an incredibly stupid place to do that.

Finally some one I can agree with

Dang. My parents were overprotective growing up but that last story . . . wow. Just wow.

Fun fact: it takes a week to drive from Carolina to California.

In the second story, I hope that lawyer tells his partners about that visit. “you guys are not gonna believe what this old woman wanted to hire me for.” 🤣🤣🤣

On of my favorite episodes of Steven Universe was Nightmare Hospital. It basically taught the exact lesson you said. Parents tend to be strict to protect their kids, but a true loving parent would also be scared if they found out their kids aren't telling them things and have to hide.

Last story was best. This lady needs away from her father just to be able to have a life at all. And yes, the advice given by rslash is true. When you become a super crazy strict parent, your kids sneak around, hide things, and lie. But if you become your kids best friend, you become their "go to" person.

Oh my God, my father to this day complains that my mother is “keeping his children from seeing him“. I am the youngest. I am a 30 year old woman!! Some people are just delusional. It’s so hard for him to believe that we have our own lives, our own families, live all over the country, and don’t want to visit him because he’s a narcissistic sociopath. Yeesh.

I really hope that that girl from the last story can go NC with her dad soon, and I hope she can be safe after that, because abusers can go ballistic in moments...

As someone who used to work for Delta Airlines... It's NOT surprising what so ever 🤦🏼‍♀️ They were also the same people who called ME (in reservations) for a refund after "tHe wAy THeY tREatED mE & mY FAMILY!" 🤣

Damn that story about the overcontrolling dad paying for rent lol. My dad has access to my bank account and pays my rent, I'm catching a train 2hours to go visit my dad not because he forced my but because we are both responsible adults who hang put like responsible people because we both want to. I'm so grateful my parents are reasonable people damn.

I knew the second the guy made a death threat that the plane was being diverted. That's not something airlines take lightly. Now, thanks to him, his whole family almost certainly on a no-fly list. It's been happening all the time now that if someone makes a threat on themselves or someone else, they land the plane and arrest them. The FAA is done taking passengers shit.

#1 R/slash the no fly list only applies to the one airline, in this case American. There's a federal no fly list and that's separate. The airlines wanted to combine their no fly lists for unruly passengers because this happens so much lately. But republican senators blocked it because most of the issues are related to wearing masks. Grandma story - My husband's grandfather was sued by his side piece for not divorcing my husband's grandmother...his wife. She wanted a court to force a divorce and marriage. She got laughed out of court, and even though my husband's grandfather stayed with the side piece, he never divorced his wife. My husband's grandmother outlived both of them. When my husband's grandfather died his oldest daughter wanted the side piece acknowledged as a concubine in the obituary. The side piece ended up not being acknowledged at all.

Since the feds got involved, that one might be on the federal list. Or, at least the dad, since he was the one with the threats. Mom and kids will probably be on the company one, at least for a while. No idea how long those last.

rSlash, man... I believe it was 86 when my inlaws (six adults, two kids) drove from North Texas to Disney World and I am still very proud to say that I killed no one... Although, strangulation did cross my mind from time to time. Even with all of us packed into a Chevy Astro, none of us were anywhere close to being as bad as that airline family. As for that controlling jerk of a, supposed, father. Okay... I consider myself a very strict parent. The kids do too. However, I am the first one they come to when they have a problem. Everything from "Hey... I'm out drinking with people and I need a ride home." to, "My boyfriend/girlfriend had a huge fight. Can I come over to vent a while?" Yeah, I'm strict but no matter what the kids have always known I care deeply for them and their well-being. Also, I think young adults should work retail for a while to let them know the other side of the coin when dealing with other people. It teaches mutual respect for others. The, 'Be nice to the janitors because without them no business can run' concept was taught from the time they were old enough to understand.

I work at an airport as a cleaner and I've seen my fair share of entitled people, and I have mad respect for cabin crew. They're so nice but are so badass, they take no shit, there's signs everywhere telling people to be respectful on flights but there's still ding dongs and cabin crew handle them amazingly

I mean, he checked it out.

The last story should have a subreddit of its own called "Entitled Families" where some families think they deserve everything for themselves and no one else.

Used to work at my local international airport and let me tell you, DO NOT mess around and find out near and especially in an airport. Feds run security and private companies run the airlines and BOTH will pass costs off to unruly people like this first story. companies have contracts and the airport has Federal Law. Dont win that stupid prize.

I live with an entitled sister in her mid 30s, she is incapable of clarity and thinking that she is fault, she blames my dad or younger sister (who lives 2 states away) and she lives off and with my parents and has no job.

"Why did you keep having kids" cracked me up. Like my wife says "never be outnumbered".

As a daughter of a controlling parent, what rSlash said was accurate. My sisters and I learned very young to hide and sneak around so our parents wouldn't loose their shit.

My mom was the prime example of controlling behavior back when I was living with my parents as a legal adult. I was not allowed to store any sort of alcohol in my room, and my mom even poured out imported bottles hours after I got them as a gift. Right now I have zero official bank records of purchasing anything from a liquor store.

"Am I the problem?" Make me think of that Simpsons episode Skinner: Am I so out of touch? No, it is the children who are wrong. so "Am I the problem?" "No, it is the world that is wrong."

Oh boy. Threatening to shoot someone is bad, but doing so on the plane is much much worse

Love having breakfast while listening to rSlash 😌 great start to the day

I hate screaming, running children.

Passenger Threatened to Kill Flight Attendant... I'm astonished. How did the pilot manage to come about and land at Albuquerque, off-load disruptive passengers, re-fuel, get a maintenance check and still arrive at Los Angeles only two hours late? Hats off to the pilot and co-pilot. Outstanding job of flying.

I used to work for a major airline. You would be surprised at the absolutely insane things airline employees have to deal with. They don't realize that screwing around on an aircraft, or going onto an airfield is a federal offense, and can land them in a world of trouble, up to and including serving time in a federal prison. All over something totally stupid. Flights get diverted to have unruly passengers removed from the aircraft on a fairly regular basis, and those people end up in a world of legal problems. Those incidents don't always end up in the news.

Just bought a plane ticket right before watching this video.... I hope no entitled parents decide to take my flight

It's not a matter of the number of cases of unruly passengers has increased its more that the flight crew is just having people arrested for the slightest perceived problem. Being cranky for any reason can get you arrested even if that its totally understandable and you are not actual being openly hostile to the flight crew. Where in the past the flight crew would put up with more than they really should now just doing something that would be extremely minor will now get you arrested. There are plenty of news reports on extremely minor issues that got someone arrested on a flight.

I hid stuff from my dad for *YEARS.* I've told him about it in the last couple of years, and his response is, "Why do you get so gleeful about lying to me?!" Um, because you were a straight up abusive person when you did find out I screwed up as a pre-teen and teenager...?

As someone that had controlling parents growing up I would say she handled things really good. My dad also tried to control my spending when I was living on my own and paying my own bills. It got so bad that I completely ignored all phone calls and went and stayed at a friends house for a couple days so they didn’t know where I was. Looking back I know it probably scared them a bit. But it got the message across. They were still controlling, but they relaxed with my bank account.

Story 1: OP made the RIGHT turn at Albuquerque. (Bugs Bunny, anyone?)

My parents were very controlling of me, and it resulted in me being a shut in with basically no social life. I started arguments and discussions against it and it took me a full year to get them to relax. Parents need to realise that their 'precious babies' are people and not mindless pets.

Shame on the 'calm' mother. Her responsibility isn't to stay with a man who treats her child like shit.

Story one: I hope that crazy flier can't rent a car to get back home, either. I hope he has to take a bus with his four undisciplined brats. Bus drivers take no crap!

That dad has a really creepy sense of agency over his daughters body.

Entitled person waking up from a nightmare: "oh my god it was scary, the world didn't revolve around me and I wasn't the center of everyone's attention, thank me it was a night mare. Oh boy 5am time to go enrich the lives of teenager workers at the local grocery store with my presence"

I would love to see that dad with a clean resume, no previous experience, try to get a job at an office or other higher job.

The first story sure isn't plain.

You’re right. It was plane.

That grandma trying to sue for visitation, while its kinda crazy its also kinda sweet. Like she wants you to be part of her life so bad that shes willing to go that far to get it.

I had the aisle and fell asleep. At some point later I awoke and the lady in the middle seat asked to get up. She was gone for quite a while, actually, she never returned! Some random guy took her seat. Odd but I thought nothing of it. The rest of the plane goes smoothly with the new male passenger sitting in the middle. Oddly he was given 1st class meals...why did he move back here? As we approached our destination the guy went back to his first-class seat. The plane landed and we were instructed to remain seated. 2-3 (I forget how many) airport police boarded the plane, walked down the aisle to my row and asked me to get up. I did. They arrested the man who had been sitting at the window seat the entire flight (barring a restroom visit or two). Something else to not do on a flight: sexually assaulting a fellow passenger on a flight. Especially an INTERNATIONAL flight!

Listening to these stories really makes me appreciate my parents.

Me: listens to this while at work, in a retail store The last story: Me: Wow, I'm a low-life addict now!

Just got up and about to head off to school, what a great start to the day! Thanks Rslash!

My mother-in-law took me to court to try to get grandparents rights to see my daughter. She was 6 days old and had a cold so she was taking breathing treatments a couple times a day. It all started because she wanted my daughter to spend the entire weekend (her very first weekend ever) at her house and I was “not allowed” to come with her. We spent a day arguing with me saying I was willing to come over for the weekend and bring her with me and her claiming she couldn’t spend time with her if I was there. She was also welcome to come see her whenever she wanted at my house but she just HAD to have her all alone and it freaked me out. This was my first child, I was 18, she wasn’t even a week old and was sick having trouble breathing. There was absolutely no way I was going to let this happen. The judge laughed her out of court the next week since our state only allows grandparents rights if one parent is deceased and since her son (my daughters father) was only in jail and still obviously living it was dropped and never mentioned again. My daughter is almost 16 now, my MIL barely even visits and my daughter hates having to see her, lol.

You're right! When you interfere with one of the plane attendants the penalties are quite steep. Not only is the fine high but the person can also get up to 10 years in jail. From what you've said, it couldn't happen to a better guy.

Well, at least the girl from the last story can use the "no penises allowed in the apartment ever" rule to kick her dad out if he ever tries to come over

I was willing to believe the first story, since there are definitely people like that in the world and a passenger on a plane threatening to hunt down and shoot one of the flight attendants is a BIG problem. Glad to see you turned up a news article from the same day as the reddit post, though - definitely good to actually check and confirm things.

The first story is absolutely hilarious in an ironic sense. In less than 30 minutes, I have an interview with the TSA. 🤣

My abusive controlling mother made me a completely neurotic anxious mess who can’t function anymore. She broke my mind so now I get to spend the rest of my life in trauma therapy trying to fix all the damage she has done and I don’t ever get to have a life of my own.

For that last story, I’d threaten the dad that if he continued to treat me that way I’d never speak to him again.

I have 6 older brothers. The closest is 9 years older than me. The oldest could be my dad, he has a daughter(my niece who is 3 months younger than me.) Lots of family stories which I loved listening to. One: There was about a grocery store in Greeley, Colo. named Snow White back in the 50's-60's. Mom had never been there before. The owner said his heart sank when he saw mom walk in with 6 young boys. (He knew all about how kids misbehaved in the store and the damage they did! ) The boys lined up two by two and held hands and walked behind mom. They would get what she asked them to and put it in the cart. They were polite to people saying please, thank you, and excuse me as they needed to. The grocer and his wife became very good friends with mom and dad. After they had known each other for a couple of years he told mom about his feelings when he saw her and the boys for the first time. I can remember as a kid(in the 60's) sitting quietly in a restaurant listening to the adults talk. This was LOOONG before them offering kids place mats and colors or taking a toy with you to play with while waiting! Also politely asking for food to be passed and when I was done eating, sitting quietly for a while BEFORE asking if I could be excused from the table..I maybe wrong but I believe that good manners and teaching them to your kids went out with the "Hippie" Generation.

No matter what goes down on a plane, I just wait it out. Interestingly enough, in college in the early 1980s, I worked with a co-op program, and got a job working reservation phone bank for now defunct PEOPLExpress airlines. At one point they had us assigned to work in the terminal itself (Newark Airport), helping station agents. It was more like shadowing than actually _doing_ anything, as I was only the equivalent of a paid intern. Well it so happened, on the night I was there, we ended up having some massive weather in various areas of the country, and it was delaying flights right and left. I shift ended at around 10:00 p.m. . The hallways were lined with seated passengers, as they were not enough seats to accommodate entire plane loads of several flights. Essentially the poor passengers were waiting for a plane to arrive to take them to Buffalo. Unfortunately, as the plane was arriving, and the passengers were all cheering that this was their escape from newark, station agents and I had been made aware that it was not going to be going to buffalo, but to a different Airport, is the rains in Buffalo are still too severe. At the end of our shift, two station agents and I walk the entire length of the corridor with people who are elated that they were going to escape, us in the silent night that they were not going to be going anywhere anytime soon, we found slightly bad, but we were smart enough to know we were not going to be the ones to tell them of their flight plight...

The law student's dad is gonna be SO shocked when she goes full no contact about 10 minutes after graduation. 😆😆

15:00 “You don’t create obedient children, just sneaky children.” Yuh that’s me.

dad: how dare you get a job daughter: *because you don't give me money*

Last story: very true. My siblings still hid stuff from our parents because they were strict. We even hid them while we lived in the house. They never wanted to hear from us and every conversation ended with "dont talk back to mee" and "my house. My rules". A big reason why I wanted to move out. And have been happy ever since.
