If you use the whimsical propensities of children against them with enough frequency, they will discard them out of self defense! It's called "building character"
Yeah, there's this whole flipside though, like I have this neighbor that won't leave his apartment except to get his mail. I said something about not seeing much and he said something about germs. Whoo boy! What a character!
When this girl grows up she's going to talk to a therapist and the therapist will be all "And where do you think the root of your problems stem from?" and she'll be all "my mom made me TOUCH a SHRIMP!" and then she'll suddenly realize how silly this traumatic memory was.
Then she'll find it on YouTube and point her therapist to it and then the therapist will be all "she was clearly asserting her domination over you and keeping you scared, I think we should schedule weekly sessions so we can discuss this issue"
These cows that are effectively abusing their children to amuse fat people on youtube should have court-enforced parenting classes. Kids don't need this shit.
Yea, my parents screwed with me too. I turned out pretty alright, although I do have an incredible fear of the undersides of boats. Not of being ON boats, but the UNDERSIDES of boats. I can't go near a boat that's dry-docked or turned over. I'm not sure where exactly that comes from, but I'm sure it was something my parents found amusing.
Hm, my ex's parent's did this to him with a lot of different foods as a child (he was a picky eater). He developed a gag reflex to basically every food except for bread and cheese as an adult and has a horrible diet due to this. He had a stroke recently. He's 23 years old.
