Types of parents, alright? There's many different types of parents out there. And some of you might have been blessed, and some of you might have been- might have had your downfall preyed upon, unfortunately. And if your parents are cool, bro, you hit the lottery. That's just how it is. Because some of us really be down bad in the trenches, struggling with strict parents. And now the first type we gotta start with is the helicopter parent.
Oh my. And now hence the name helicopter parents. What these parents do is they basically just watch over you 24 seven. Like even when you're a teenager, bro, you got no free time at all. If you were doing devious activities. Oh, you bet your ass. They're walking in on you. They're going to barge in and catch your ass, bro. It's over. And with a helicopter parent, forget even trying to get a girlfriend or boyfriend, they're
They're gonna want to know every single bit about them. They're gonna be like, "What's their social security number?" "There are three credit card numbers on the back." They're asking for everything. And at a family dinner? Oh god, they're gonna get interrogated. And that's not even likely, because who said they're gonna let you date them? No, they're not gonna let you. They're gonna give you some excuse even though you're 18 at this point. You're a grown-ass man. They're gonna be like,
"Um, no. You know, you're just too young." "Bro, look at me! I'm starting to grow facial hair! What do you mean?" And oh, if you get caught like going to a party or something like that by the helicopter parents, say goodbye. Like, you're grounded for weeks, alright? Like,
They might just sit in your room with you, man. Like, who knows? There's just no coming back from that one, bro. The problem with these parents is they just think of the worst possibilities and they just run with it. Like, they're like, oh my God, he's gonna smoke. He's gonna go wasted. Oh my God. And they just think of the worst possibility imaginable. And I mean, that's kind of on you if you don't teach your kids self-control. I'm not gonna lie. Next up, we got the straight up strict parents, okay? It doesn't matter what you do with your life. Your life is going to be based on what they want from you.
Those solid 90 to 100 years you have ahead of you. Wouldn't it be nice if you get to do what you want and not have to worry about like your parents just pushing you in every single direction possible? Well, you can kiss that goodbye because the strict parents are pushing you in that direction. If they want you to be a doctor, oh, they're gonna fucking force you to be a doctor. Doesn't matter what you want to do.
Cut your losses, 'cause you don't have to be a doctor, bro. Start eating your ramen and start studying in medical school, 'cause you're fucked. You have no options, bro. Doesn't matter how long you're stuck in medical school, they're gonna make you just stay in medical school until you get out with a degree. Nah, bro, literally feels like they're programming you. It's crazy. You just got an unfortunate spawn, bro. That's just tough. For those of you that are stuck in that circumstance, bro, I'm praying for you. That's cool that they wanna see you succeed and all, but still, bro, I mean, at the end of the day, if you're not happy, are you really successful? No.
You're just gonna feel like a bot at the end of the day. Next up, we got the parents that spoil their kids. Oh my go- Thanks to you, this motherfucker has no idea how to take the word no. Like, you're basically his bitch, bro. Like, he's telling you what to do. He's ordering you, Um, mom, get me the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 250 giga- That's why they lend a little Timmy Boss you around. Personally, that could never be me.
Listen, bro, you just can't get anything you want out of the blue. That's what you gotta tell him. Like, shit costs money. I got bills to pay. Fuck you and your stupid iPhone. You're not getting it. All right, maybe that's a bit too far, but oh well. And even if you try to make a compromise with him, like, oh, I'll get you the 12 or something like that. It's a little less expensive, but you'll still have a phone. He'll be like, no, I want the 4.
And these parents give in until he stops crying. But listen, you gotta let him tire out. Like eventually he's gonna stop crying, right? You gotta let him cry until he just gets himself tired out because that's what's gonna happen in the real world. If he starts crying, no one's gonna go to help him. Like if he's 25 years old, he gets his first job and he starts crying in the office. No
one's going to go help him. No one's going to do anything for him. These parents don't know what the fuck they're doing, bro. I'm not an expert of parenting by any means, but just based on experience, I think I can safely say that this has got to be the worst type of parent. Next up, we got the soccer moms. Oh my God. Now these people, right? These people usually whip a minivan and got the basic Karen haircut. You know what I'm talking about.
These are the type of people to get mad at any slight inconvenience, whether it's at their kid's soccer game, at a grocery store, whatever it is. Like they're the type that chew you out over like a dollar at the grocery store. Like, come on, bro. It ain't that deep. It's a fucking dollar. There's no need to yell over it. Like you literally ask nicely. Like if somebody like tapped their kid during a soccer game, they'd be the type to run over to the ref and be like, ref, oh,
Oh my God, somebody hit my kid. Take him out of the game right now. And most of the time refs are like kids in high school. So obviously they're going to be like perplexed and they're not going to know what the hell to do. They're just going to be like, uh, no, he didn't. Like he just tapped him on the shoulder by accident. I know what I saw. There's no need for you to question my judgment. Shut the fuck. These people are just a nuisance for everybody at like sports games. Next up, we got the chill parents, bro. I'm fucking with the chill parents. All right. Now my parents kind of fall into that category.
I'd say they're a little bit overprotective sometimes, but it is what it is. You know, they're just trying to do their job as parents. But at this point, I'm a grown-ass man. But the chill parents, they let you hang out with your friends and stuff. They're not stingy about like, um, it's a school night. You can't do this. Like, it doesn't fucking matter if it's a school night, bro. Like, who cares? Like, as long as you're back by the time you go to bed, who fucking cares? That's just painful, bro, if you can't even hang out with your friends during the week. The chill parents are just goaded like that. They care about you, but they're not fucking helicoptering over you.
which is nice. You can actually get some free time and you don't have to worry about them watching over you 24/7. These parents actually understand, you know, you get older, you're gonna need more space. That's just how it is. And they let their son or daughter choose their own path and they just give them advice, which is really nice, rather than just like forcing them to do something. Now next up we got the absent parent.
parents. These parents are like never around. The poor kid's in the house just by himself. Like, you know, you want someone to spend time with or talk to. The parents are never really around. They're just like, um, yeah, I'll allow you to max out my credit card. I'm going to be in Paris for a month. Like, come on, bro. Don't get the milk like they want to see you, big dog. There's no need for you to go all over the
map and like not even see your son or daughter. That's just messed up on another level, bro. Next up, we got the photo taking mom. And now my mom fell in this category, bro. I'm not gonna lie. Now this one's relatively harmless, but it's kind of slightly annoying sometimes. I'm not gonna lie. Like, do we gotta take a photo like every second? Like, oh yeah, we just arrived at your graduation. Let's take a picture. Oh yeah, we're leaving your graduation. Let's take a picture. Oh yeah, you're getting ready for your graduation. Let's take a picture.
"Yo, yo, chill!" Like, bro, like, your mom friends on Facebook don't have to see every moment of my life. Thankfully, she doesn't do that now, but... I mean, maybe sometime. But all I remember is I'd have to take a lot of fucking pictures back when I was a kid, and it would really annoy me. And I wasn't exactly photogenic either, so sometimes we spent upwards of, like, 10-20 minutes trying to get the perfect picture. Next up, we got the parents that try to be trendy, like, way too hard, bro. Like, it's just annoying as hell.
Like, they can just walk up to you out of nowhere and just start using Gen Z lingo. And I mean, to me, man, that just makes me want to fucking facepalm so bad, bro. It's just really cringy to witness. And especially when they try to do it in front of your friends. Oh my god, that shit's annoying as hell. Like, yeah, man, that theme park was lit. No cap, right guys?
Just hearing that from your mom, it just makes it like 10 times cringier. I don't know why. Or there's always that one dad that thinks he got jokes, but they just ain't landing. It's kind of like that. Speaking of, that's the next one. Of course, dad jokes have been around for years. And of course, dads across the world have been making websites like
108 corny jokes 2023 best dad jokes jokes that will make you laugh out loud I'm sure they will definitely gonna be on the floor rolling after these I know it for a fact these jokes are just puns and you just gotta prepare your fake laughter that that's pretty much it I mean I'm not saying I'm a comedy genius or anything but personally me I'm not laughing at a dad joke and hey I get humor subjective maybe a 50 year old man will laugh but
Not me. Next up, we got the parents that try to embarrass you. Oh my god. These parents just be doing the most to make you look bad. Doesn't matter. Like, if you got a girlfriend or a boyfriend, oh, you best believe they're gonna try and make you look as bad as possible. They be doing the most to try and get them to break up with you. I don't know. Is that their main goal? I have no idea.
Or maybe they're just trying to make you the punching bag. Who knows? Doesn't matter what their intention is. It's still kind of tough. They want to make you look so bad in front of everybody, but you damn well know that it ain't the truth. Next up, we got the opposite. The parents that hype up their kids, like they brag about them everywhere they go. Like they, they're practically your hype man, bro. So, hey, I mean, I appreciate it. I'm not going to lie, but there's no need to make me seem like the greatest, bro. I'm really not. All right. Like I'm just doing what I got to do on a daily basis. I'm not the next coming of Jesus Christ, but thank you for the compliments.
Watch some videos on the end screen. I'll catch y'all later. Peace.
