Parents, What Do You Regret Finding Out About Your Child? (r/AskReddit)

prying parents have read it what secret of your child did you discover that made you wish you hadn't we adopted one of our kids and he is voracious while the rest of the family is white back when he was in second grade I found a writing assignment that the kids had to do they essentially had to write three things they would wish for if they had a genie one of the things he wrote was I wish I was white that really hit me hard I thought we had done enough to incorporate his racial / cultural background it wasn't something we just ignored it hurt to see that he didn't want to be who he was and that we had something to do with that I hated that he felt that way and I hated that I found it in hindsight however I'm glad I found it it opened up the dialogue even more and our son reveled that he wanted to move somewhere where he wasn't one of the only black kids we did end up moving to a much more diverse area a few years later and I love it here my son is now in middle school and is pretty comfortable talking about racial identity as much as it hurts finding the paper I think it was beneficial to get it out of the open my kids aren't quite old enough to ruin my view of their innocence yet but when I was a kid my grandma found my rather hefty porn stash under the bathroom counter one day while cleaning had my own small bathroom at the time got really embarrassed about it until I realized that she just straightened them out into a neat stack and never said a word about it to me to this day hell of an old lady wasn't my child but I used to work in a phone shop and I was transferring this kids photos to his new phone it was the first to that model I sold and little did I know it had a pre-installed app that showed a gallery on the second homepage after you swiped right I was explaining how to use it and the default image the gallery function decided to select was a fully frontal nude photo of this poor kids junk frankly I didn't know where to look he must have only been 13 maybe 14 I tried to sadly shift the phone away from his mom but she had already seen it he got an absolute public telling off in the middle of the store went on for some time mom I was just awkwardly holding this phone with a photo of this kid stick HHH good times you get to see some interesting things on people's phones they died in Wow against a low-level mob my friend's dad walks into him watching porn and he accidentally clicked a gay porn advertisement his dad awkwardly closed the door and will forever think his son is secretly gay not parent not the kid in question probably worse though I've told this story on Reddit before but no one really cared I'll post the cliff notes anyway media class make groupie out of account three of us sharing out of the count me 15 her 16

was so shocked and at a loss for words all I could say in reaction was I'm just checking if it works not sure how that could have changed the situation in any way mole needless to say she always knocked before coming into my room after that little incident not quite the question you asked but my mum did find a letter I wrote to my bf before the days of internet and texting where I described how I was going to give him a [ __ ] couldn't look her in the eye for weeks even tried to pass it off as English homework I was 14 at the time two decades later I still cringe when I remember it not really the prying type but grabbed my 9 year old daughter's tablet to show her how to get a hurt male embarks using her web browser her email client was misbehaving there were like seven open tabs of porn and her web search history had a Boise being searched shocked me and the wife she's nine that was when we decided it was time for a bit of anatomical and reproduction info which of course fell to me my wife was thoroughly incapable edit yes she has her own air mail and she emails me constantly while I'm gone during the week I'm a truck driver she also plays Skyrim and is a level 36 two hand wielding whirlwind of a catch it she also thinks Legolas from the lotta movies in her words super hot so please continue telling me how badly I'm failing at parenting I was once really hungry so I ate a banana in the shower and threw the banana peel on the shower floor dad found it later and asked me quite angrily what Duvall Sheree I was up to whether banana in the shower he probably thought I was shoving it up my ass Jesus dad your poor son was just hungry leave me be old [ __ ] actually found this out from a neighbor who frequented omegle I believe that's what it's called when you webcam chat with strangers and apparently stumbled onto my daughter and her friend putting on a show skin and all I had no idea what to do this one is a [ __ ] up one brother one told my mom that he has been using brother twos computer to download music this is the error of them you are maybe 2007 and saw that brother two had literally thousands of CP stuff on his computer my brothers were in their early twenties my mom checked brother twos computer and confirms that her child is downloading CP what does she do nothing she even bought brother to another laptop when his became unusable due to the amount of viruses and malware two years ago the feds raided my mother's house plot twist they were there for brother 1 he started to download CP she now has the honor of having both of her sons in prison and a sex offender of course she makes it all about herself it's a shame brother one was the one who was supposed to make it I used my dad's computer and in his history was two lesbians wrestle the winner [ __ ] the loser fair enough I was trying to take a picture on my nephew's phone and discovered he had a taste for intense gente gotta hand it to him though he chooses quality stuff in not a prying parent but I'm a prime child I discovered the kind of porn my mom is into by seeing what window she had open in her firm's browser she now knows what incognito Moody's let it be known kids have WTF moments about parents too my mom went into my msn chat logs when I went to go live with my dad I was not a savvy rebel forgot to check don't save and found all my sobering I was like 14 she said it was way worse than the I hate my parents type of stuff that when my son spends the night at his best friend's house he doesn't do so to hang out with his friend instead he is hanging out with his sister playing dress-up having tea parties and giving each other makeovers my wife and I are both retired so he volunteered to house it when my son his wife and their three kids spent six weeks in Europe last summer we discovered their video collection and were surprised to find their favorite pastime seems to be hosting gang bangs with my dad as a center of attention while our son films the action we were flawed but never said a word or let on in any way they are both great people loving parents and responsible professionals with great careers and we are not going to let this kink change our opinion of them in any way but we do kind of giggle and snicker to ourselves now when they ask us to have the grandkids over for the weekend back five or six years ago my mom got an iPod and it was the treasurer of the household she didn't let anybody use it but always kept in her room on a charger mostly because she's technologically inept one day my seven-year-old brother was secretly playing candy crush on it when he heard my mom coming up the stairs not wanting to get caught with the iPad he put it back on her night and plugged in and hidden to the bed what he failed to notice at the time was that not only was my mom coming up the steps but my dad also my dad at the time was close to 300 pounds since then he's lost over fifty five pounds they opened the door jump on the bed and proceeded to do it with my little brother under the bed due to the weight of my dad and mom on the bed his head was slammed into the ground with every thrust poor kid had to endure that for several minutes and had to wait for the two of them to go to the bathroom so he could make his escape he doesn't like to talk about it to this day and I don't think he's told my parents about that all he wanted was to play some candy crush used to torrent born because that was aligned you to do one day I opened my torrent client and see it already downloading several best eality rips I assume it's just the client being spammy and gross so I delete the files and proceed on to my vanilla fake to teat multi gig downloads the next day my dad sits me down and says I should watch out for the upstairs computer because it has been acting up or something says he is aware it has downloaded some gross stuff but he immediately says he knows it wasn't me his confidence that it wasn't me surprises me and that's when I realize it was his I guess he saw that somebody deleted the files and panicked thinking that I was judging him so he had to come up with a story about how the computer does that stuff on its own so I would know it wasn't him if he hadn't said anything that's what I would have assumed my brother was trying to print out some trans porn pictures once and the printer wasn't working when my dad turned the computer on the next day the picture immediately printed headed to all the people think I'm ashamed in this brother is actually me it really wasn't I know the [ __ ] out of this if it were me and I'm pretty open about my sexual preferences I don't have kids but I found out a former roommate had a bizarre fascination with me a few photos of me sleeping and one of my boxes unwashed and stashed away in her room I nope the hell out of there shortly after this is about parents but I don't know when else I'll get to tell one time in high school I came home on a night where I had said I would be staying at her friends walked into the living room to see a porno on the 50 inches TV screen but they weren't even watching they were just chillin and playing cards on the coffee table while a girl blew some guy in the background I just go in the window or make ridiculous amounts of noise when I come into nowadays my son paid for WinRAR I found out they don't know how to use private browsing on the iPhone all history saved this disappointed me more than the actual history not a prying parent but I'm a nosy son I went through my mom's phone once in my entire life and I've regretted it since when I was about 10 why oh I was on my mom's phone and looked at her text messages with my dad she asked him if he wanted her to bring anything home for dinner and he replied [ __ ] never touched my parents phone since not a parent but her child when I was 8 and in the second grade we had a project involving me having to look my dress up online I barely knew how the Internet worked and this was a time before all the censoring of porn from the first page of search engines my district was coming and so one of the things I clicked on was a video a man going to poundtown on astroturf I had no idea what I was looking at couldn't even tell it was human but my mom walked in only to find 8 year-old me mesmerised by this bouncing bull sack on the screen judging by her calm reaction I think she realized that it was an innocent mistake that I can imagine the thoughts that went in rapid succession through her head in that moment well this is from my perspective not my parents but I know it's still probably was awkward I have a habit of being too tired I fall asleep while enjoying some porn mom came in to wake me up found me but naked facedown with porn playing on my phone she's a good sport though we had a laugh not even really prying but came home from work early one day and heard the shower running in the bathroom my 17 year old son uses then heard some decidedly louder sounds of enjoyment from a female figuring naina wanted to deal with the embarrassment of an interruption I retreated to the living room about 15 minutes later my son and his girlfriend come downstairs and are quite surprised to see me already home figuring this would be a good time to twist the knife a little I said so what were you guys up to in the bathroom together my son stammered out while we are had been in the pool and wanted to wash off the chlorine and we were in a hurry so we went in together but we kept our bathing suits on then his girlfriend looked at him like he was the world's biggest idiot and said that's what you're going to go with he looked at her and said yep that's what happened she looked at me and said okay we are going with his story I told them it sounded reasonable [Music] you
