when my dad’s been an bitch he ‘apologizes’ by bringing me coffee in the morning, and i respond by letting it get cold & gross & accumulate for days. the most cups i’ve gotten in a row before he cleans them up is 4

i don’t like coffee

Also… i wasnt gonna interact with this post, but I looked at the notes (And the last tags Gaud put here) and… ya that’s not how you apologize. You apologize with words not by buying someone’s forgiveness with coffee. This is not an apology. It’s a guilt trip. It’s a “see you can’t be mad at me I do things for you”. this is the kind of behaviour that made me distrust my mother.

And to expend on the tags: I have parents who never actually paid attention to how my taste in things changed as I grew up. As a result they still tease/bully me over things I used to do as a kid. How I was picky as a kid and they never noticed when I started to actually eat a variety of things. I’m pretty sure they still think I don’t like sauce on my spaghetti or that I’ll only eat very specific cuts of meat, or that I still don’t eat broccoli. I’m pretty sure that they forgot that I told them that I’m queer and I litterally told them this summer. So ya… miss me with the “I’m sorry for your dad” shit.

Sorry gaud for highjacking your simple post. It just hit kinda close to home and seeing people try to make it seem like you’re being too petty really got to me.

all of this

I THOUGHT THIS WAS NORMAL??

I literally thought that parents always do this and that everyone just never talks about it…

Unfortunately a lot of parents do it, but it’s a form of emotional abuse and definitely shouldn’t be allowed to pass for normal. Parents make mistakes because they are people. But children are also people, and they deserve to have it acknowledged when they have been hurt or treated unfairly. 

It is extremely important for adults to apologize to kids.  Don’t let kids grow up thinking that this just how the world works. 

Bring two cups of coffee. Sit down with your kid. Give them one. Down the other and apologize. Like an adult

^^^THAT LAST COMMENT

also know your kid well enough to know their tastes. some of us don’t like coffee, Dad
