I am once again unable to tell if my parents were ever really that bad or if I am actually just an ungrateful brat.

okay but imagine saitama and genos reaction to y/n saying that child emperor is their hero / favorite hero!! I feel like they’d be like wait what? what about us :(

Warnings: Yandere, fighting, injuries mentioned, manipulation, helicopter "parents",

Other tags: one punch man, reader insert, Child reader, Child Emperor(Isamu), Saitama, Genos, 

It was a peacefully sunny day when Genos got a phone call from the school. It shocked him to his core to hear that you got into a fight, for a moment he thought they got the wrong number until read him your file. He just doesn't understand why you got into a fight of all things.

It was a good thing Saitama was out getting groceries because Genos would have to hold him back from putting a hole through the entire school. Genos was holding himself back from tearing apart whoever thought they could hurt you and get away with it.

Genos thanked them and head over as quicky as posable, unfortunately Genos quite literally ran into Saitama, who in turn was confused as to why Genos was in such a big hurry. "Hey, slow down Genos you act like someone dead or something"

The look Saitama got from Genos didn't help, if anything it concerned him more. "She got into a fight at school, I'm just on my way to get her. I just know that little brat has something to do with it."

Genos didn't need to say any thing else, because that the mention of the Child hero and you got Saitama to drop what he was currying, weeping Genos off his feet and dashing your school in a heartbeat. Genos barely got to sign in that the front desk because of the way Saitama was dragging him towards the principal's office.

The thing that stopped them both in there tracts was the sound of your giggles, obviously you were okay and in no danger in you were having fun. What they did see was Isamu was the one who witnessed the fight you were in. Of course he stepped in to protect you, getting himself in trouble as well. It was totally worth it to send some extra alone time with you.

"haha Isamu, stop it. Of course your my Hero! You save me, when no one else would." you hugged him not knowing you might as well have carved their hearts out of them. You only let go of Child Emperor after someone patting your head, looking over your shoulder you see robo papa stand there with giving you a small smile and grandpa boldy who was patting your head with a constrained smile. 

“Ready to go munchkin? we pick up some ice-cream and your favorite meal on our way home.” Genos reached out his hand. nether him or Saitama acknowledged the young hero as they took you away and back home after replacing the groceries Saitama lost and get you a dessert as they look you over for any and all injuries.

The only problem now they have to worry about is how to tell you that you’ll be home school and finding the right people to teach you when they can’t do it themselves. 

Little did they know that this was all part of Isamu plan to slowly but surely to get you on his side. Set you up, even it was one of the hardest things he had to do and watch. he know in the long run it would be for your own good.

Thinking of that post about parents who relentlessly track their kids' cell phone location and internet history and every move in the name of keeping them 'safe' without their knowledge or consent. Also about the article I read awhile back about the developing social expectation that parents not let children go anywhere alone (which I couldn't find, but this one is more recent and similar).

For one thing. In the United States, violent crime has decreased since the 1990s and drug use among teenagers has gone down overall since the 1970s (skip to the charts on page 161 if you want to click through them). The world is not actually more dangerous today than it was when Gen Xers or older Millennials were kids.

But I'm sure there are parents out there who think that any chance of bad things happening means they must keep as close an eye on their kids as possible or they're bad parents. Not using every tool at their disposal makes them irresponsible, and tracking phones is just what you do today because the technology is available.

To these people, I would like to say:

How would you have felt about your parents listening in on all your conversations on the house phone and routinely going through your room and reading any diary or journal you kept? My parents did that, and I can guarantee you that it did not feel good, and I am still (in my early 30s) extremely protective and possessive of my things and hate anyone touching my phone or computer without my permission for any reason.

Yes, your kid might do drugs, and they might be a victim of violent crime. Tracking their every move does not necessarily prevent that. However, it does make it more likely they will leave their phone at their friends' house when they're sneaking out to go to a party they didn't tell you about and then they don't have that phone to call you for help. It also makes it more likely that if something does happen, they will not go to you for help or tell you about it for fear of getting into trouble.

Parental monitoring works best when parents have good, open, and caring relationships with their teens. Teens are more willing to talk to their parents if they think their parents can be trusted, have useful advice to offer, and are open and available to listen and talk. Teens who are satisfied with their relationships with their parents tend to be more willing to follow the rules. Not by, y'know, subjecting them to your own personal surveillance state.

Children are not perpetual children. They are future adults and need to develop the very necessary skills of learning how to make their own decisions. Not allowing this is how you end up calling your adult children's college professors because they've fallen behind in classes, because you've created a risk-averse, conflict-averse adult with no idea how to manage their own schedule. (This is also how you get accidental conservatives obsessed with following the 'rules', but the other post describes that better.)

On that note, you cannot control your children their whole lives. They will eventually grow up and move out when they're eighteen or twenty or twenty-five if you insist on them living with you through college. If you've never let them go to a party or have a single alcoholic drink, how the fuck do you expect them to know moderation when they're older and the consequences for fucking up are worse?

Conversely, you may get a kid that grows up, leaves, and doesn't talk to you at all. My parents literally told me that I didn't have a right to privacy because I was their child and living with them. While I do still talk to my parents, I purposely put physical and emotional distance between them and myself when I left for college, and I do not and have never gone to them for life advice or for comfort when I'm having a hard time.

And finally. Consider finding out, ten or fifteen years from now, that your child is dating someone who tracks their cell phone location at all times, goes through their phone and computer at random, and restricts where they go and who they spend time with, perhaps because this person pays more of the bills. If you've shown your child that surveillance and isolation is love, how the fuck are they gonna recognize the hallmark signs of an abusive relationship?

Even my parents expected me to get to school and back by myself, either by walking or taking the bus, from the time I was in kindergarten. I spent a lot of non-school weekdays at the public library from the time I was in middle school. So, when I left for college and moved to a new town, I knew how to take the bus by myself and how to navigate an urban area without the advantage of a car and how to deal with being around other people in public. The idea of gen Z kids lacking even that experience is a fucking shame.

eldest daughter syndrome isn't just being a third parent to your younger siblings. it's not being allowed to go outside unless it's for school or the doctor, it's not being allowed to move out until you get married, it's not being allowed to leave the house without makeup on

I'm 29 and my boyfriend and I still live with our parents. Times are tough financially, please be kind.

My mom is my "bestie". She wants to always be with me and do things with me. But she's had me all to herself for 29 years and sometimes I just wanna get away from the family and be alone with my boyfriend (24). But he lives with his family too and there's ALWAYS. A L W A Y S someone home every time we go to each other's houses, and I'm starting to wonder if both sets of parents are doing this on purpose to clamjam. We've had to drive off to secluded areas in his car almost every time. And even when we don't have sex, I just want to be with him without everyone else around.

It's so hard to do that because both our families just LOVE each other and get along really well like it's one big family. Which is great! That's a really positive thing and a green flag! It's not always so fantastic when sometimes I don't want to feel like we're being chaperoned. And because of our chaotic work schedules, he and I only get to see each other 2 or 3 times a week, 3 IF we're lucky. I want to make the most of that and I've gotten all the family love I need for a while, I just want a romantic and personal night with him. And because I have a pretty shitty work life balance and my boss won't change or adjust my schedule to grant me more time, I'm having difficulty balancing and separating my time between my boyfriend and my family.

My mom wants to see a movie on one of "our" days. So I want him to come with us to ensure I get to be with him, and that means she's third wheeling our date. It's beginning to concern and bug me. Sometimes I just want to spend my time with him and not with EVERYBODY, but sometimes the opposite happens and I get bummed out that we can't have the special one on one time we deserve.

I know both our moms are Catholic and both want me to wait until marriage to lose my virginity (too late, lmao) and... wait, don't I get a say in what I do? Isn't that my choice? So there is some definite cockblocking going on. I feel a little suffocated and I love his family and MY family, but it's healthy to have a separate life where I'm not always in the presence of an elder and I can enjoy my time and make memories with my boyfriend and JUST him. I want more of that.

I don't know if they're strategically ever present because of that, or always wanting to "lowkey" supervise, but both families always want us to be with them (together) and I love that everyone loves each other but.... ugh, give us some space! Can anyone relate? How can I deal or get around this?

Helicopter parents, unironically: How DARE this cartoon teach my child about harsh and unforgiving truths about life in a loving and accessible manner instead of letting them live in ignorance so that they'll be wholly unprepared to deal with these realities when they're older and become entirely unable to talk about these matters to their own kids like ME

I don't think they realize. I HAVE to leave. I don't care about the cost. I don't care if housing is atrocious. I'll pay it on my own if I have to. I just have to get out of here for my own safety.

Worst part about living with any family is the half hour lecture you get each and every single time you go out to socialize, even though you've been 18 and socializing just fine and safely for almost 2 decades now.

Stop.

One time, I had a pretty unstable couple of days. I had just gotten back from a late-night shift at work and had another shift in 12 hours. I was unfathomably sore getting off of that first shift and didn't sleep all too well either.

The cherry on top? After I woke up, mother wanted me to help carry buckets of rocks to the backyard for their landscaping project. So I explained in crystal clear detail that I was tired, sore and energy depraved to the point where I didn't know if I was going to be able to make it through the shift I had. Nonetheless, my mother still insisted that I help her with the heavy lifting. I put my foot down and firmly said no until she finally rolled her eyes and ended the interaction. To this day, she still 'doesn't understand' why I didn't put what little energy I had into them.

Like, sorry lady, I value my physical and mental health more than your landscaping project.

"Mr. Fenton, please explain to me again, why are you here?"

Danny leans forward with keen eyes, downright murderous. "My godfather who owns VladCo. Hates Wayne enterprise and hopes to surpass them in this years competition, so I took it upon myself to make sure you're winning, Mr. Wayne."

Mr. Wayne massages his forehead with a sigh.

"What are your motivations?"

"To see that man realise I helped bring his doom, to know that I am the reason he's going down. Maybe some tears too?"

(This was, of course, only after the proper interview where Danny had revealed his connection to VladCo.)

(Bruce was going to hire the boy anyway, but now? Now he will make sure danny doesn't turn into a villain either.)

(If danny saw Mr. Wayne put his file into the 'suspect villain' folder from the reflection of the glass behind him. He simply shrugs and deals with it later. Really, he should have expected that.)
