Personal Story Should I break his iPad? A kid's perspective on bad parenting. Part 1. (I added the image there because I can only post with an image.)
Hi. I'm a boy who's almost 13. My mom has a friend called Christina, with 2 kids: Yi and Henry. I hate those two cunts. Yi is 8, and Henry is 4 or 5. I dont give a shit. Why do I hate them? Well, they're idiots. Yi is extremely addicted to an iPad. And I see ZERO FUCKING RESTRICTIONS. I dont have an iPad, but I can at least read. In fact, Yi is so addicted, I can't even understand what the fuck is inside his brain. First of all, he tried to climb a stairway. If he did, he would've broken his legs, or even died. I saved that dickface, and I told his mother to punish Yi by never giving him the iPad. She didn't listen. Yi never got any punishments. I was angry. This isn't good parenting. This is just not giving a fuck about their kids and not realizing what they're doing. Yi isn't even capable of speaking well too. I can't understand him. My mom thinks I'm "disrespectful" when I saved Yi's life, while Yi's mom and the other adults were partying. holy fuck. My mom and her friends are dumber than A CHILD!? TF. What Yi is doing, doesn't look like he even thinks about his career. He just sits down, all day on iPad. I hate that bastard. He frustrates me all the time. Also, I wanted to warn adults about brain rot. And to give them limits. My mom told me to not give them advise. SHUT UP MOM YOU DIDNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YI ABOUT TO NEARLY DIE. So, am I the dick? Or not? So, should I break that spoiled bitch's iPad?

Not worth it breaking the iPad. You'll just be punished yourself and be forced to pay for a new one

i read the story tho and i do have some things to say:
- lay off the swear words bro
- imo yeah Yi’s mom is in the wrong here technically but I think in this situation it would be better to mind your own business to prevent any more harm.
- be nice to everyone now and keep your thoughts in your head when you’re around them

You should work on your language. Swearing doesn’t make you cool also don’t u have to be 13 to use this site?

I know some little fellas like this. Pisses me off so much, but do try and ignore them. Theyll end up as little retarded shits in the future just how their mum is leading them to be.
And by the way, youre too young to be on reddit.

No, that would only make things MUCH worse. Besides the kid would probably just get another one and you would get punished for breaking it. Keep your thoughts to yourself and ignore the kid, the parent will learn her lesson eventually. Even if it is the hard way. The best you can do is just tolerate it and not do anything irrational or extreme. (Also the amount of swears is a tad unnecessary, we get it you're mad.)

Oh nevermind then, I thought it was that you had to be 13 and over but I guess since he's almost 13 then it doesn't matter. Im gonna just get rid of that then.

It’s not your responsibility to parent another person’s child even if they wont do it themselves. All you can do is express concern as you have. Good on you for going above and beyond to try and help the kid but unfortunately nothing will change until his parents realize the path they’re sending their child down.

No, you shouldn’t break the iPad. They’re expensive and you/your mom will have to pay for a new one, so it’s not like it’ll actually be removing the iPad from the kid anyways, plus you’ll be in big trouble.
Welcome to being a teenager. You will genuinely believe that you are smarter and know more than your parents and pretty much any adults for the next decade or so, till your own brain is finally fully developed somewhere around your mid-twenties. THEN you will start looking back and realizing that you have actually been the dumb/wrong one in most scenarios throughout your childhood/teen years and start understanding better why adults do the things they do.
I’m not saying any of this to be rude or hateful. I honestly wish someone would have told me that when I was younger (if I would’ve even listened). But you seem intelligent and you could at least try to just keep that in mind and cut your mom some slack sometimes and just trust that maybe you don’t know everything all the time, because you’re barely even 13yo and have a LOT of life to experience and learn from. The logic and reasoning part of your brain is nowhere near developed yet, so no matter how smart you think you are, you’re in fact just not. You’re a 13yo talking about finding a 5 & 8yo frustratingly dumb, so imagine what adults that don’t love you like your mother think of 13 year olds…

\Sigh** Bro you do NOT have to be swearing this much right now. Trust me, I get the feeling of frustration and needing to vent it and wanting to like post it somewhere, but its not smart nor kind to shitalk your fam. Its good you realize being addicted to such things is not great and is best to be avoided, but in the end there's only so much you can do if its not your kids. They are just kids and will grow up eventually, and if they end up being screwed later on in life, and you actually care about them that much you can try to help them. But if not, then just don't bother.

You would get into a lot of trouble, and Yi would just get another one :/
