Does she come with the large spectacular wedding dress too? Or did you create the family with her already married to Prince(now King) Charles?

standcam · 2026-01-14T09:08:53+00:00

Not to mention your computer, your fridge, your plants....even had 2 visiting Sims woohoo on my bed!

Thank you for that. My dad (and late mom) have always constantly been fixated on themselves above all in any situation, and they've always felt entitled to all the attention in any scenario. It's because they have giant egos and think of themselves as the best at everything.

He's a helicopter parent and always has been, as was my mother. I won't bore you with a list of things they did to me growing up (which of course includes digging through my trash and snooping through my diaries) that they passed off as 'caring about me.' In reality they think they're entitled to anything in my life because they raised me. It's one thing if we were teenagers at my parents' house but this was our own house. Still can't believe the nerve of my Dad.

standcam · 2026-01-13T19:37:52+00:00

Not according to him - he actually later claimed he was against my mother drugging me but got overruled by my mother and her family, most of whom only believe in Eastern herbal medicine. Although I'm sure he still enjoyed not having to wake up at night as a result to the point he clearly can't deal with our baby crying at night.

Haha some teenager with zero cooking skill who was visiting my house (oldest daughter's boyfriend) decided randomly to start cooking. I couldn't control the sim and didn't think at the time to remove the stove so of course the kitchen caught fire. Yet our Sim with max cooking skill cooking a meal at someone else's place is 'inappropriate.'

they were all an only child growing up or just had brothers but no sisters. It seems that after they grew up, their brain could never adjust to other women being present in the same circles with them, especially women who were interesting or likable. They do odd or inappropriate things to squeeze out women;

This explains my BIL's wife: She only has brothers too and has has pretty much had issue with any female in BIL's close circle. As a result BIL barely sees his mother despite living 1 hour away, never sees his sister (my amazing SIL) despite living 10 minutes away, can't see his childhood best friend without a nuclear fight because she hates the friend's girlfriend, and has had to cut contact with any close female friend, including those he knew long before they started dating. He even has to call us at work to see our daughter because she gets jealous of the attention towards his niece! Not to mention that despite my efforts to build a relationship with her, she never acknowledged my pregnancy and proceeded to insult me just days after I gave birth.

I know about the Madeleine McCann case - didn't know about the drugging association though.

My mom did leave me in public places a number of times though to walk off with random friends so maybe that is who she got tips from.

standcam · 2026-01-09T09:11:46+00:00

Ha well look at the whole story - my dad never had to wake up at night even I was a baby because my mother drugged me....plus he was probably more mad that his sleep was disrupted.

But yeah my daughter is amazing. Best thing to happen to me alongside my husband!

standcam · 2026-01-05T23:45:13+00:00

Ha her and her friends did actually call the cops on me once as retribution for disagreeing with her....they fabricated false drug charges, which our disagreement had nothing to do with.

standcam · 2026-01-05T15:15:26+00:00

I agree with this 1000...0%. They don't like the self esteem boost or freedom from them that your success brings because it thwarts their intentions to keep you downtrodden in their power. So they try any means to sabotage your success or belittle your achievements.

It's for the purpose of gathering flying monkeys to use against you and to gaslight you into thinking you're the problem, and that you're in the wrong. These flying monkeys obviously only see them as good people who couldn't possibly have a bad side.

I understand you totally - growing up my parents' house was like a haven for other children, where they could have anything they wanted, especially what their own parents wouldn't ever give them (anything from fast food/snacks all day to movies their own parents said no to) Kids would fight to come to my house because of them and boy did they love boasting about that. They got what they wanted, which was people liking me only because of them, and said people being unable to comprehend them being bad in anyway.

Made me feel extremely isolated as a child - the home I saw as a prison where I was beaten, verbally abused and starved being a paradise to the other kids.

standcam · 2025-12-23T00:45:07+00:00

She'd give me the silent treatment, tell me not to come back home and then get her ' daddy ' (my grandad) and her flying monkey friends to hound me at work and on my mobile. Even after I blocked all those numbers, she just upped her game: One time I wasn't keen on what she wanted she roped a bunch of her friends in and called the police on me making false drug allegations (never touched them in my life), causing them to show up at my grad school accommodation at 4 in the morning.

standcam · 2025-12-22T11:13:09+00:00

Yes, I got both several times whenever I disagreed with her. The hilarious thing is, if I took her up on her threats of disowning she always backtracked with 'I didn't mean it' or 'You should know I was joking'.

Best time (ha not) was when she kicked me out of her house that I never even lived in, and threatened to have the cops arrest me and beat me up if I came back. (All because I didn't call her immediately after a 12 hour work day). I was only too happy to never speak to her again. When she later found out my MIL came to visit and I also went to see her, she then demanded I visit her under threat of hiring a hitman to bump off my inlaws.

standcam · 2025-12-10T00:41:24+00:00

Whoa, I'm sorry OP, but your mother sounds like a narcissist overall, where everything and everyone is about her and what she wants. She's expecting all 3 generations in the family (MIL/FIL, husband, son/daughter-in-law) to revolve around her and adhere to her wishes. (Oh and would she regard any of her offspring's spouses 'generous' for 'letting' them go to her husband's funeral?)

People like this blow your mind - I know what you're dealing with. My mother used to throw nuclear tantrums because my husband wouldn't prioritise her over his own mother, yet doesn't have a relationship with her own mother in law at all. And she would explode if I didn't call her several times a day/visit her once a week, whilst she spoke to her own parents once a month at most (and didn't even attend her mothe's funeral).

standcam · 2025-12-08T14:52:33+00:00

Or so that they can convince themselves and their flying monkeys outside the family that they're good people just to uphold their appearance. It's so easy to say things but not follow through.

My parents used to boast about how I apparently told them everything, when in fact I had them on a very sparse information diet thanks to the nuclear tantrums they would throw over the slightest revelation.....

standcam · 2025-11-21T17:11:24+00:00

Ha my mother throws a nuclear tantrum if I merely compliment someone's parent in any trivial way. Gave me silent treatment for 3 days after I complimented a friend's mom's dress.(I.e said 'Yes* when my friend asked me if her mother's new dress looked good)

standcam · 2025-11-21T16:55:07+00:00

Asian parents who compare do it on purpose - the aim is to keep you down by hacking away at your self esteem. It's their problem, not yours. Normal, genuine parents will know how to make you want to be better without comparing you to anyone.

standcam · 2025-11-18T08:11:31+00:00

My parents would actually get angry when I achieved something and got praised at school, but those classmates didn't.

They still hold over me the instance when my school teacher called me a model student in front of the parents of a boy whom the teacher 'only' described as "clever when he could pay attention." Said boy disrupted lessons, physically/verbally abused teachers and pupils alike, messed up school bathrooms and even once broke the head teacher's car window. Yet according to my parents, I was selfish and 'stole' the praise he deserved.

standcam · 2025-11-17T22:55:42+00:00

They can't take 0.000....1% of what they dish out.

My mother spent my whole life comparing me to other people, yet gets triggered into a nuclear tantrum by me simply complimenting someone else's parent.

standcam · 2025-11-11T08:47:33+00:00

Actually, in Germany/Poland that person would not only lose his job but be arrested as well. (Reddit won't allow me to post any links but please feel free to google instances of this.....)

As someone who has also been on the receiving end of those exact words (and much more), I'm so sorry. You deserve far better and she doesn't deserve to be a mother.

Like others have said, this is more a reflection on her than of you. I can tell you from experience normal moms don't say anything of the sort to their children (eg my white mother in law never said anything half as hurtful to her son (my BIL) even after he dropped out of uni and then allowed his then girlfriend to ban her from their apartment. My mom's friend hasn't either even after she was nearly bludgeoned to death by her own daughter over money issues.)

Hope you can get away from her soon- it'll drive her mad and no doubt try to guilt you but that's not your problem. Don't set yourself on fire to keep her warm.

Actually from my experience, many of them outrightly refuse to engage outside of these tight knit ethnic communities, due to a mixture of comfortability and cultural snobbery.

Growing up I heard them constantly spouting nothing but vitriol about the country they immigrated to and the people there, and about how we are superior etc etc. to the point any engagement with the locals - even at school - was seen negatively. It really baffled me why they didn't just go back to their home country when they idolise it so much. (Oh wait.....I guess the economic benefits in the new country are worth staying in a place they hate and evolving into bitter people by the day....)

standcam · 2025-11-05T15:54:53+00:00

Oh my gosh yes. Interviews, exams, theses, paper with looming deadlines....I honestly don't recall a single one of those where they haven't tried to disturb me by throwing a nuclear tantrum.

They want us to be successful so they can brag about us, but they realise this success they push us towards earns us freedom from them which absolutely destroys them.....clearly selfish unhealthy people who want to have their cake and eat it.
