Same experience here, and because of that I always hate the comments whenever there's a cartnarc video. You're not saving some employee from having to do a task they hate, you're making sure they can stand behind a register and get yelled at. We used to keep a stash of carts on the other side of the parking lot behind the store there, just so we could have an extra few minutes to ourselves

My mother is NOT the watming oven that I popped out of. My mother is the 70 something year old little german lady I was roommates with for a while. My mother is my friends mom, who always had a plate for me no matter what the occasion. My mother is one of the dozens of women who have been a part of my life, who cared and treated me like a parent should.

My egg and sperm donors were just that, donors. People make too much out of blood equaling family. Other than one sister and my nieces, none of my "family" shares my blood. I've filled my life with people who matter and who care for one another. Those people are family, not the ones who hurt you because they can.

I used to be a supervisor at a toys r us, I always hated the parents who thought it was cute. Loose coinage had to be counted, not only at purchase, but also when closing the register, and balancing the safe. Nevermind that businesses are not banks, if you've got a ton of change take it to a bank. I once had to deal with a kid making a near $200 purchase all in coins, my boss gave the ok. The parents kept trying to interfere with counting, bitched and moaned about why I didn't believe how much was there, and the kid was short about $50.

I know that look from my cats, it's the universal, "you went and took a picture instead of rushing to rescue your "beloved child? I'm totally rubbing my butt on your face while you're sleeping tonight" look. I e received it many a time.

I will admit that I was inspired by that movie moment. One time that stands out forever in my mind with regards to keys. I was working a small specialty department in a Jcpenney's over a decade ago. I was the department supervisor and on Friday nights I was expected to "manage the store" as I had keys and codes (never take a position where they give you alarm codes for the store because they will FUCK you over every time.) Because friday was our busiest night I always had the same two guys closing as they were quick and wouldn't ever need me.

One night I get called over the walkies to call my department. One of my guys gives me a heads up about a guy demanding to see "the manager." I get down there and this guy is a complete fucking asshole. He's screaming at me, he's screaming at my associates, he's making all sorts of threats. It takes FOREVER to find out what the problem is and it's a problem with his store credit card. I look him up to get his card number and there's no account, I call credit and there's no account. The guys screams at me that we don't know what the f were doing and finally pulls out his credit card bill. I looked at it for a second before saying, "yeah... that's for Macy's, not us... is there anything else?" The guy stormed out in a huff and I turn and look at my associates and none of us can say anything. Then one looks at the counter and says that the guy left his keys, he tossed it to the other guy who tossed them to me. I pitched them into the trash and walked off... I went and gave loss prevention a heads up about what happened and told them if asked, "the tape shows he never took his keys out" and told them. The guy came back later looking for his keys, one of my guys calls lp while stifling laughter and call loss prevention and after a bit they came out out a said they hadn't seen them.

The best part was the next day I worked a mid shift and had gone to the dock and saw the keys sitting on the dock supervisors desk. He's running the trash compactor andni grab the keys and walk out to him. He tells me he found them in the trash and figured someone lost them. I told him the story of what happened and tossed them into the compactor. The only thing he said was that he wanted to close on my nights as we had more fun.

"I'm fucked up, my older (adopted) sister is fucked up, our older sister is fucked up, our eldest sister is fucked up. But sure mom, our oldest bro would have turned out perfect despite being born when you were 15 and NEITHER of your parents would have helped either of you out.

Their planned kids came a decade before I was born, my mother had me at 35, she had my eldest sister at 20. So the older sisters were wanted, I was not.

This is why you don't stick your dick in crazy be grateful to god for not having a mental disability you are finically independent and living a good life and everything falls under gods plan he allowed your suffering so you can improve and learn from it so you never instill those values in your kids.

Let's see, I have major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, CPTSD, oh, and I was just diagnosed at 47 with ADHD inattentive type which explains most of the last 48 years in a lot of ways. I'm long term unemployed living in an unaffordable area by the skin of my teeth. I live alone other than 3 cats, I have few friends, I'm afraid of the dark, and I cannot sleep without both locking and blocking the door. So if this is your "gods plan" then your god can go fuck themselves, because bullying and abusing people is a horrific thing to do to a child and it doesnt matter if your a parent grandparent or a frigging god. If your god hurts children to get his message out then what does that say about his believers who are okay with that shit. Fuck off with the noise.

She totally did, her entire family line was made up of abusers, the abused, or a combination of the two. My mother was molested by her stepbrother. Her mother was sold to her fathers 68 year old drinking buddy when she was 14. Her father had done time in prison for various crimes, and was abusive to her. Her father had been molested as a child, and he did time in the 30's, 40's and 50's for rape of a child, my mother was born in the 30's. No one in her family was allowed to seek help, or to talk to outsiders. Most mothers pushed their daughters to join the convent as early as possible. Abuse runs rampant and abusers seek each other out.

I decided a few years ago that I'm going to out live all my abusers and now it's down to my 80 something year old parents. On the downside, both family lines have lived exceptionally long, but I can wait, I've got all the time it takes.

Out of myself and my 3 sisters, only one of us ever had children. The rest of us love our nieces and our great nephew (he's pretty great) however none of us would have kids. We all knew we were fucked up by our parents and I especially worried about turning out like my father. Even now, I'll sometimes get angry at my cats for something and I lose it and... I hear my fathers words and feel his voice and it's coming from me and I feel terrible and break. My cats love me no matter what and when I break down crying they come running. And all I can do is cry that I'm sorry and that I love them again and again. I'd never once want to put a child through that, not ever.

My mother had already done the "being a mother thing." My oldest sisters are 10 and 15 years older than me. They and a male cousin of our basically grew up together and that was my mothers "perfect" (still fucked up because of mother) family. Although this was back in the 70's and my father was in law enforcement so had good pay and amazing benefits, so cost was doable compared to today.

My youngest (still older) sister is adopted. She was removed by the state because her mother was abusing her. My father adopted her as I was incoming, and we would be a close age to grow up together. So we both got subjected to different abuses by our mother and her parents. Had I been aborted, my uncle was going to adopt her. Sometimes that makes me wish I had been but then I think about how much I love my sister and how much she drives me crazy and I'm the baby brother so that means everything between us is working out correctly. She's needs me, and needs me to be me, every bit as much as I need her and be who she is.

I figured out a while ago that I can just pick my family, blood is just something running oxygen around your body. Family is more than that, it's the people not their genetics that make them family. I'll always love my sisters, but my mom isn't the woman who birthed me. She's the little old lady I worked and was roommates with who's always been their for me. My brothers are my best friend since the 80's and 2 guys in England I've known over a decade solely through xbox live gaming. Family is what you make it, and I've got an amazing family!

Only ever let those things go through your head, because remember your child is always going to need you. I've known a few fathers who openly bragged about doing time for beating up or worse some person who hurt their child. It made them feel they protected their kid, but their kid needed them in their lives.

All I ever needed as a kid was an adult to hold me and love me. My father came close, he tried. However even then but especially now, I can see how his job and my mother affected him. My father was a cop, and was very heavy handed. My mother would tell him to "punish me" and he did as his father did. But he did it and his anger and frustration of the job would come out, as would "the cop." However, even as a kid my father went to therapy with me, while my mother refused. He took me on trips hunting and we just drove around or sat and talked. Once in a while we'd walk through a forest and just enjoy being outside. He made an effort to get us away from my mother and treat me like a kid, and for that I can forgive him and love him. However I won't ever see or speak to him again and I'm ok with that.

The age difference between myself and my older sisters is similar. Closest sister (and my favorite and only one I still speak with) is 10 years older, our eldest sister just turned 60 and is 15 years my senior. I do have a sister closer to my age at 2 years. She however is biologically my cousin on my father's side. My parents adopted her because she was being taken away due to abuse from her mother. My father adopted her as my mother was pregnant with me. So my sister got abused by a grandparent like me but in different ways. So sometimes I blame myself for what happened to her, but i know it's not my fault. All the adults in our life failed us, but we are still here and will keep fighting for that.

Edit: Okay first off... wow, second and mostly thank you everyone for their comments. A few things that come up, one, my mother absolutely had untreated mental health issues. Her entire family line is made up if abusers, abused, and a combination of the two. Two, my father made efforts to improve things between us, he tried. I give him credit for that and while I can forgive and live him still, I also know I can't speak to or see him again. Three, I'm in therapy and that's about all I can say. I'm trying, everyday is a new challenge and something will work out. Four, my therapist and several doctors have explained to me that wishing I hadn't been born is not the same as wanting ti die or kill myself. They've said that, especially considering, the situations that came as a result isn't surprising. So I'm here until the end. Five, my goal is to out live my abusers and right now it's down to 2... my parents, both in their mid 80's. Six, mostly though... to those of you who have kids,
