I wish I was that brave and stubborn as a child. Threatening to kick me outside or take me to the bad parts of town was one of my parents favorite fear tactics. And it worked.

I wasn't exactly brave or stubborn, I was vindictive. Once my mother got mad at me and took away my computer. I in turn took the main power breaker from the house.

Another time she got mad at me and took my car keys... I set an alarm for 3am, went outside and took her car battery. Now I know what you're thinking "she has your keys, she'll just use your car", I also took my car battery. Both were carried about 1/4 mile into the woods that surrounded our home. Next day she tried to leave for work about the same time I had to start walking to the bus stop for school. Yeah... She was not happy but I got my car keys back!

If I were her, I would've sent your ass to one of those fucked up boys boot camps/living facilities in Wyoming/utah.

Were you abused or just a spoiled shit?

Yeah where I grew up if a kid did that, they'd be kicked out. If old enough to have a car, old enough to live on their own.

[-] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 21 hours ago

Mostly just spoiled and egotistical....

Yeah my country has these pre army training camps, basically schools but they drill discipline into your head, they're popular if you are expected to join army. But I'd send my kid just to get the spoiled shut out of him.
