Strict parents. Now, I didn't grow up with the strictest parents ever, but nah. Growing up with foreign parents, bro, that's a completely different story. Now, I didn't grow up with foreign parents, but I'm sure some of you watching this video did. When I was younger, I thought my parents were extremely strict.
But honestly, now looking back at it, I'm kind of glad they did what they did. And for that, I thank them because I definitely wouldn't be here. And now the reason I thought my parents were so strict is because I wasn't allowed to do certain things. But my friends were. I would always be pouting and bitching about it. And the words that would leave my mouth a lot were, that's not fair. That would always be leaving my mouth. I'd be like, that's not fair.
My friends are allowed to play video games for more than an hour. Some kids probably weren't even allowed to play video games. I don't know why the hell I was complaining. I was a bum when I was in second, third grade. Like, I wouldn't really do anything. I didn't play sports until I picked up baseball. Other than that, I wouldn't really do anything. So obviously they were trying to get me to go outside because I would be on that Discord mod timing with my Wii, bro. I'd be on there for like six hours a day. So when they implemented this, obviously I was so mad.
bro. Like I could have cried and bitched all I want. I could have passed out on the fucking floor. Like I got to use every last breath until I tired myself out. They wouldn't have cared. And that's a good thing, honestly. Why would they ever listen to my spoiled ass? I was over here acting like I paid for the wifi bill. Nah, I was collecting pennies on the floor, but I was not balling. Like I was a fucking brat when I was a kid. Like I'm not even lying to you, bro. I would whine like a
bitch until I got Mario Galaxy 2. There's an entire story behind this, bro. Like, we both got fucked up haircuts, right? My brother got a goddamn mohawk. And my dad was like, what the fuck do you have on your head? Alright, I'm shaving both of you. We were like...
And they got us the game because they went through enough that day. They did not want to hear us bitch any longer. And they were like, all right, we need a plan. I'm sick of this kid bitching at me to buy him stuff. How about we give him an allowance? So that's exactly what they did. I got an allowance and, you know, I was saving up enough money to buy these games. And I was making like $5 a week. Yeah, it took me a while, but I did it.
But hey, man, it taught me the importance of money, and it's good to teach kids that at a young age. Obviously, I didn't understand that at the time, and I was just being a little bitch. It is not like I had a huge-ass laundry list of chores. I was complaining over four things. That's all I had to do. Four things. Take out the trash. Wash the windows whenever they needed to be washed. Dust. And emptied the dishwasher. Oh, the horror. Oh, my God. In this scenario, I don't know why I was complaining.
But I would also get money for when I would do good on my report card. I'd get like $5 for every A that I got. So when report cards came in, I made some pretty good money. But whenever I got bad grades, oh, it was raps. But we'll get to that later. Now, when I was in elementary school, I couldn't really get a bad grade, if that makes sense. The grading scale was like all over the place. And there was like a no child left behind law or something. I don't know. Now, when I wasn't playing video games inside, I would be at my neighbor's house.
I would spawn camp there, that was my spot. And my neighbor was like, "Yo, can you sleep over? Like, just ask your parents." You can already see where this is going. I would go home and be like, "Mom, can I sleep over?"
No, but why my neighbor's mom allowed it because I said so they would always be saying that like I don't know why they just could not come up with a reason like they're acting like i'm trying to sleep in a kidnapper's van bro I'm, literally going to my neighbor's house that i've known for years. We were literally right across the street like who cares? Yeah, i'm gonna have to definitely disagree with this one still to this day. I don't understand why now when I went to my friends that i've also known for years He was having like a sleepover
party, right? And guess what? My parents picked me up and my ass had to go home at 11. Me and the duck were the only motherfuckers that had to go home. We were picked up at 11 and we had to go home and everyone else got to sleep over. I was fucking malding, seething at the mouth. I was so mad. Like I was in my fucking revenge villain arc or whatever. I wanted to call my mom a curse word. So that's how I get my get back. That's what I'll do. Like what?
What the hell was my plan? I don't even know. Now I decided to cook up the greatest insult of all time to my mom. I called her lame. Yeah. I was like, mom, you're lame. And she was like, you know what? For that, you don't get to play video games at all tomorrow. What? No, no, no. I take it back. Please, please. I was such a bitch, bro. She was like, nope, you lost your privileges. What?
I thought that was the ultimate get back, but I couldn't even stand by my words, bro. That's crazy. And now talking back to my parents, that was another story, bro. Like, oh my God. Nah, they would get really mad when I would talk back to them. Like sometimes when I was being a bitch to my mom, my dad would just straight up slap me in the face, bro. And I deserved every inch of that slap. Now he didn't like hurt me or anything. It was just enough to like knock some sense into me. Like one time I told my mom to shut up. I don't know the reason, but then I just got a
five star to the face and of course I couldn't take it I started bawling my eyes out like a little bitch but in retrospect it probably didn't even hurt that much I was just being a little baby enough of my jit days let's move on to when I was a little older now when I was in middle school I was seeing people with phones all right not a lot of people but some people had them and I was like
Whoa, they're so cool. Now at the time the iPhone 6 was the best phone and that was the phone I wanted I was like, please give me an iPhone 6 please now I was begging because my friend had one and she's like no you're not responsible enough to have a phone and I wasn't like I was stupid as hell Why would you give an idiot a phone like you don't know what the hell he's gonna do with it Like my parents probably thought I was gonna prank call 9-1-1 or some shit 9-1-1. What's your emergency?
Is it the way you want it? Uh, yeah, why? Yeah, you better go get it. Oh, gosh, I got him. Yeah, that's probably what I would have did if I had access to a phone. So they come home one day and they're like, here, I got something for you. I'm like, what is it? They literally gave me a flip phone, bruh. And yeah, you know what? That's kind of fair. They don't want me breaking a brand new iPhone because that shit's expensive. And then I was like, no, bro, I'm gonna get flamed.
Like I was fucking crying, bro. Cause I thought I was going to get flamed and that I did. I got fucking roasted. Nah, this motherfucker got a flip phone. Yo, why does bro got the Nokia from wish bro? Revive the Blackberry. What the fuck? That thing recorded on 360 P look,
Guys, I can play Flappy Bird though. Yeah, that's cool and all, but your screen's small as fuck. You're gonna need a magnifying glass to see that shit. I got lit up, bro. There was some friendly fire in there too. My friends were roasting the hell out of me. But then I took pretty good care of the flip phone. So they were like, you know what? For your birthday, I'll get you a new phone. And oh my God, I was soothed. I was like, let's go. I got a new phone.
And of course, when I got it, I showed it off to all my friends. And of course, there was that one spoiled kid in my grade that was like, Bro, shut the hell up. It's literally still a phone. Why do you care? Now, middle school, I also got an Xbox.
Right? Like I wasn't allowed to play Call of Duty for the longest bro. Or GTA. Like that was just a no-go on my crib. And I was very geeked to get that. But in high school I was playing way too much Xbox. Like I would play a lot bro. And I was definitely not able to manage my time on there.
So what they decided to do was just to completely shut the wi-fi off with this app Like I would be in the middle of ranked games sometimes and the wi-fi would just shit itself Like I used to play rainbow six siege like all the time Like I would sweat that game and my friends would be like what the fuck happened to birdie and the duck. Oh
Oh, oh, it's 11. Their Wi-Fi shut off. And of course, yeah, I got smoked for it the next day. They were like, bro, come on, mid-game? I'm like, yeah, nah, my bad. And they finally stopped shutting off the Wi-Fi until I started to prove to them that like YouTube could make money. Like literally they would even shut it off on me like when I was working on videos back then.
Like, hey, man, I was trying to enjoy myself and make a career out of it. Like, come on, bro. Let me chase my bread. Come on. And it got even worse when I got my first C in high school. Oh, no, a C. So scary. Yeah, I didn't get it either. I didn't really understand. I generally got good grades in school, but trigonometry, fuck.
Like that shit, I still don't understand it to this day. That was the one test I failed in my geometry class, and they were on my dome piece about it. And they're like, listen, no, you're done. We're taking your Xbox away. And I was like, oh my god. Like, I thought it was over. I thought the world was crashing and burning. This is the first time I was close to failing a test, and they just went panic mode, bro.
And I couldn't play during the week until the summer that that was rough. That was kind of brutal And my friends were like bro, where the fuck are you get on xbox? What are you doing? I'm, like bro. It's a weekday. I can't I don't even know what to do half the time I was so bored because my friends would just play xbox. I couldn't drive so it's not like I could go anywhere I was like 14 years old. I couldn't do shit But eventually I could drive and I finally got my license and I started going out more and they had me install this app on my phone called
Life 360. Yeah, you can probably already see where this is going now god forbid I hate to call my mom and dad helicopter parents, but they had a little bit of it in their blood I'm not gonna lie like that one that one was kind of crazy I get being worried about your kid, right? But bro having your kids download life 360 is kind of crazy and every time I would turn it off like it would kill the fuck out of my battery They were like, hey, can you turn your life 360 back on I was like
Oh my god. And I guess they thought I was gonna try and pull a fast one and skip school or like lie to them as to where I was going. And I never really did that. Obviously, if I said I was going to a friend's house, I went there. So they knew where I was. So I don't know why they were so worried. Maybe I skipped school once or twice, but we don't talk about that. But by then, it was my senior year. I already had really good grades, so they didn't care. They would let me invite my friends over to drink. Drink apple juice. But my Wi-Fi still went out. And I'm like, what?
What the hell? This doesn't make any sense. Now, this has got to be the worst parent moment I've ever had. But hands down, I love my mom to dad to death. But to this day, I still don't understand why they did this. Remember that minimum wage job I used to work, right? I had to go back to that last year.
I don't understand why, but I did. Like, I had to, and I was stuck there for the summer. And at this point on my old channel, I had well over 300,000 subscribers, so I didn't understand why the fuck I was there. Like, I was so miserable every single day, and it sucked. Because I just knew I didn't have to be there.
Like it would be a different story if I had no money. I'd be like, yeah, I kind of need to be here, but I didn't. I had plenty of money and they knew how much I made. Like the AdSense was pretty good. I'm not going to lie. I didn't understand it. I was beyond pissed, but it's over now. Whatever. They thought that that was going to help with my social skills, but it's literally the most bot conversations. Hi, how are you? Good. How are you? Good.
That's it. That's the only conversation we're having. Look, I love my parents to death, but this is a rare mom and dad L. Like, I never understood this one. Like, all in all, having strict parents is a good thing sometimes. Like, you don't grow up being a spoiled asshole. Thank God I didn't turn out like Eric Carman. But sometimes they don't make any sense. Want more videos to watch? I have an entire playlist of videos just like this right here.
