    Dude, practically an entire generation was given a smartphone with games and full internet without restrictions, became so fucking addicted to it that they suffer mental health issues and get traumatized if it's taken away from them and think it's like cutting someone's hand off.

    You're not going to convince them of anything if it means not letting the kid have a phone 24/7 without restrictions.

    Asking them isn't abuse. Making them is. Stealing their things and causing them distress is.

    I'm sorry your parents mistreated you. Stop pretending it's normal.

    My parents were fine, and now I’m a successful adult that can live on my own.

    No, making your kid do chores as a condition of the free life they have isn’t abuse. Stop being a pussy

    And you have nothing better to do than defend child abuse?

    Out of curiosity, did they hit you? It's the first thing that comes to mind when you try the "I turned out fine" defense.

    No, making your kid do chores as a condition of the free life they have isn’t abuse.

    Making them do work for you is abuse. They don't have a free life. They can't move out and they're punished if they don't follow orders.

    Stop being a pussy

    Am I cat, or a vagina? I'm fond of both, so I'm unclear on the insult here. Are you a playground bully? Did your parents forget to help you grow up?

    For you? It's for them also. It's for the family.

    The family they did not choose and cannot leave. Children owe their parents nothing.

    “You can play video games AFTER you do your chores.”

    “I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN! THIS IS ABUSE!”

    Jesus fucking Christ sometimes I forget 13 year old emo kids are on the same internet as me.
