STRANGEST Things Your Friends PARENTS Have EVER DONE (r/AskReddit)

our slashes credit what is the strangest experience you have had with a friend's parent I practically lived over at my friend's house from my mid to late teens they were a devout Pentecostal family and his dad was treasurer of their church I go over to their house Walken and both parents are immediately in my face did you steal money from us someone broke into their old topdesk and stole 2k from the church funds they accused me then the mother broke down and started crying sitting on the couch hands in her face bawling then they all started praying for the return of the money then they prayed over me for guidance to do the right thing I thought wth what they didn't know was that their son my friend had his eye on ER 2k nakon f3 camera for a few months and his parents wouldn't buy it for him what really blew my mind was he bought the camera and they never suspected him of stealing the money and he never apologized to me for it edit changed prayed to prayed senior year of high school I asked out a girl right before school ends for the summer she said she wanted to stay friends bummer but at least I'll never kick myself for not trying I was still invited to her graduation party at a house so I went as I also enjoyed being friends with her a godless of any romance at the party her dad met me in the kitchen and patted me on the back saying bummer about her saying no if it was up to me you'd already be my son-in-law not sure how to respond I awkwardly laughed and said thanks not 20 minutes later he walked into a shed outside and asked us teenagers if we wanted to see a magic trick he then proceeded to pull a dove out of his pants a living breathing does the guy was slashes one of the nicest people I've met that I never knew what he was going to say or do next I was coming back from the annual County Fair with a childhood friend and his cousin heading to my friend's house unfortunately I got really sick at the fair and was sprawled out in the back of my friends cousin's car trying my best not to puke everywhere it didn't help that we live out in the mountains so the drive was unbearable out of desperate Aeon for my stomach pain to pass I didn't even turn on the lights when I got to his house and literally fell onto the bed in the dark only to find his dad under me snoring apparently my friend's dad was staying up waiting for us to get home and fell asleep on his bed I obviously woke him up and he freaked out turned on the lights and yachty was in his underwear when he saw it was us he laughter the situation but it was definitely one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life I'm just glad I didn't throw up on him it's not as bad as someone here but I will share mine I was around 11 over 12 and had this friend from secondary school we would spend the weekend having sleepovers etc one weekend after her birthday we went into town and after her mum told her not to spend her birthday money buying presents for a boy she liked she did long story of Vova infatuated teen girl uninterested teen boy I think her mom was trying to help her we were sitting in a cafe with her mum after and the mum asks did you spend all your birthday money on that boy after it ends back and forth with my friend denying and trying to say no the mum turned to B and asked if she had I tried to avoid the question after being told I was not allowed to lie I had to tell the truth I told the truth she had friend gets upset I apologized a friend and say I had to she asked human basically saying I was a dick and didn't have to tell her I could have told her I respected my friend's privacy and I didn't want to say anything I don't think I ever really hung out of their house again after that and her mum cornered me at parents even in trying to have a dig about not spending time with her daughter anymore I feel bad in hindsight it wasn't my friend's fault 12 year old me just really didn't want to get caught in another family's drama a friend's father was absolutely convinced that I was only friends with his daughter for money they weren't exactly rich maybe a tiny bit better off than we were but it was impossible for him to know that when her dreamcast needed a new cable after one of her pets chewed through it he came storming into her room while we were hanging out and demanded to know why I thought he would buy me something my friend had to jump in and explain that it was a cable not mine he'd complain if I spent the night because he had to feed me like I was a stray cat it was incredibly weird the worst part is he made extremely inappropriate jokes all throughout dinner when I was there I was maybe 14 looking back I'm starting to wonder if he wasn't just hi my friend explained that he kept one fingernail long to pick his nose but I've been told that is not its only purpose none of his behavior ever made sense edit just to clarify since people keep asking he was not Asian the whole family was very white this actually just happened about a year ago I was at my friend's birthday party it was a backyard barbecue with family and friends there was a lot of drinking starting at noon and going into the wee hours of the morning I ended up tripping on the patio and skinning my knee my friend's parents invited me inside to get cleaned up they sat me on the kitchen counter and cleaned my knee my friend's mum went upstairs to get a band-aid while she was gone for just that five minutes my friend's dad got real close to me and said I want to you I want to you right here right now I had no idea how to respond his wife was just in the other room I just stared at him in disbelief I don't think I ever actually provided an answer before his wife came back event up my drink and poured it down the drain saying no more drinking for you edit I'm sorry for anyone that thought I was underage I was old enough to be drinking legally in the US when to see a girl my BFF was interested in they'd seen each other a few times and we were all good friends anyway go into her parents house walk through the kitchen and she goes into garden to get something leaving me by the back door my mate a few paces back on other side of kitchen in front of door that leads to the hall while waiting for staid girl my mate notices a basket of clean washing on the kitchen worktop that had obviously just been brought in from outside on top is a pair of red and black frilly panties my mate thinks it's funny to pick these up pretend to sniff them and then put them on his head as he's doing this he's facing me with back to the open doorway to the hall I literally couldn't speak from Jacques behind was the girl's mother stood watching what he was doing he kinda clocked the expression on my face slowly turned round and literally just looked at girls mum and said sorry in a very sheepish voice whilst shamefully taking the panties off his head the mum said something about them being hers and not the girls anyway but by that point we were making a swift exit painfully cringy that was like 25 years ago coincidentally my wife now works with the mother and we've met her out at company parties a few times I don't think she remembers me but I don't have the courage to ask not a friend but an ex his mother used to basically nice forced me into not leavin each time I came over he was 25 and still lived at home and she was so eager for me to date him and stick around that she would go out of her way to dote on me aggressive each time I was there she would find ways to make me stay longer and even outright say it was rude to leave so soon and find another board game or another movie or another snack to get me to stay in the house longer she bought me weird presents like knickknacks and porcelain figurines he wasn't a bad dude that Mommy Dearest had babied him so much he didn't know how to do anything for himself he expected to be taken care of by me eh then 19 year old who hadn't ever started college yet and was working part-time at a Dunkin Donuts ffs I still lived at home too his mom just expected that she could completely enable him and baby limb then hand him off to a girl who would do the same for the rest of his life [ __ ] was psycho we didn't date for long it was in the early days of our romantic relationship and we had been friends for nearly a decade before that I had helped her dad install a new home theater system complete with a satellite dish outside that had servos in it so it could aim itself at different satellites I got a call from him a week later because he couldn't get the system to work properly to be fair it was quite a complicated system but it was all hooked up to a single touchscreen remote thingy I talked him through it all and he was thank now I can enjoy this porn in peace I just chuckled and then he thanked me and invited me over to check out the new system he immediately stumbled on his words as he realized what he was saying I was like make did you just invite me over to watch porn with you it was just as generous personality coming through and I was laughing my ass off he said yeah actually that's probably not a very good idea seeing as you're going out with my daughter what was I thinking law he was a fun guy lots of funny awkward moments like this in the years I knew him when we were 18 we were driving around the sketchy part of town fairly later at night just chatting and singing along to music wandering about as teenagers do we were on a double date I often slept over my friend's house and spent a lot of time with his family my boyfriend's mom worked with his mom so he also knew my friends family well friend had been dating his girlfriend for a couple of years and she of course knew his parents well we saw his dad's car which was surprising as it was at least midnight and he usually went to bed early we then saw his dad's car pull over and pick up what was clearly a prostitute we could clearly see and recognize his dad driving and saw her leaned down in the seat toward him as they drove past us after that we were all very quiet I drove everyone home and took friend back to my house at his request I kind of figured he didn't want to come that his dad wasn't home where he should have been just to maintain the pretense that it may not have been him and then we all never spoke about it again but the three of the sous or just had a hard time being comfy around either of his parents again my best friend when I was 10 had recently moved to the u.s. from the Ukraine we hung out practically every day at my place his parents didn't speak English but his mum was always nice enough when she came to pick him up one day coincidentally his dad drove by my house while my friend and I were outside playing soccer against each other he realized it was us while driving by slammed on his brakes and his truck came to a loud screeching halt he got out of the truck waved and ran to the back of his pickup I had never met him before but he waved smiled and grabbed some stuff from his pickup and ran over initially I was scared because of the slamming on the brakes but then he ran up shook my hand said a bunch of stuff in Russian then gave us a whole 12-pack of cherry Pepsi and a big block of cheese my friend and him talked briefly for a couple minutes then the dude waved and left again I thought it was weird to get a whole 12-pack and especially a block of cheese at first I was leery about eating the cheese since it seemed weird to just eat cheese by itself and I didn't really know the guy who gave it to us but since it was my friend's dad and I was hungry I figured it was cool and it was we stopped playing soccer about 10 minutes later because we had each chugged a couple cans of petsy ate a bunch of cheese and wanted to take it easy another time I was hanging out with him outside of his house we were playing outside and his dad was doing some yard work suddenly their neighbor comes out and starts yelling at my friend's dad apparently my friend's dad would always Park in the neighbours assigned parking spot and the neighbor was sick of it the neighbor was yelling at my friend's dad who again doesn't speak a lick of English my friend's dad was watering some plants so when the guy started yelling at him in a language he didn't understand my friend's dad decided to just spray the dude with the gardening house just like the last encounter I was immediately scared but then my friend's dad started laughing cause he soaked the other guy who then ran away my friend and I started laughing too and he high-fived us all I guess that was the third strike on my friend's dad and after that incident he got kicked out of the trailer park they were living in he lived in his own place separate from the family for a few months until they all could move back together my last memory of his dad was when I was 16 and my car broke down while I was on the road the timing belt broke so the engine wouldn't run my car was stranded on the side of the road if I could get the car to my high school I figured we could fix it in our auto class for cheap butt pain dollar sign 100 plus for a tow would have killed me as a junior in high school I was with Mark Rainey and friend and since my dad was at work he worked evenings / nights we called his dad to come pick us up when he showed up in his truck instead of pushing our car off to a side street to deal with later and giving us a ride home he pulled a big thick rope out of his truck bed tied it to the back of his truck and then tied it under my car his dad then talked to my friend and had him translate to me I'm going to put you keep the car in neutral stairs close to my bumper as possible because if you brake too much it will break the robe only break when I break but don't break more than me he then towed me to the high school which was maybe about three miles away I was very nervous because even if the ropes full-length I wasn't more than half a car length behind him but I couldn't put any more distance between us I thought that to compensate for this he would at least drive really slow to avoid any sudden stops or anything but the guy drove fast and he braked fast it was terribly nerve-wracking but I managed to stay on his bumper the whole way without running into him or braking too hard and snapping the rope afterwards he gave us a ride home he's never held a job down long-term in the 20 plus years he's been in the US he's only held a job for a maximum of two years otherwise he ends up parting ways with employers for one reason or another the good thing is that he always has a job whenever he loses a job he's never out of work for over a week and he always finds under the table staff whenever he's between jobs to keep providing for his family he's a really wacky dude and I think if he was in my life all the time I would not like him but for the occasional run-in I have with him he's a really cool guy I was over at a friend's house we were both girls and about 15 my friend was cooking dinner while I was in the living room flipping through channels and Pirates of the Caribbean was on and I yelled to my friend man Johnny Depp is the sex right and I noticed a weird shift in the house her mom came quickly out of her bedroom and ran over to the kitchen and I heard my friend and her mom talking kind of harshly but I couldn't really hear I never brought it up cause things calmed down after that later my friend told me that her mom was grilling her about if I was sexually active cause how could I think someone was sexy if I was a virgin and my friend had to fully reassure her mom that me and her were both virgins funny enough I was and my friend wasn't I have a somewhat wholesome one I had a friend growing up who had saints for parents they had to have known my home was a shitty place to be because they never sent me back there even after their child and I did the dumbest ever I don't even know why they put up with it to be honest they would just send us both to her room sometimes I think we just pushed it on purpose to see how much her parents would tolerate the answer pretty much anything like I said they were Saints one time when we were older her mother took us to a concert my friend and I loved the same music and even had our own back road band complete with electric guitars and amplifier and a microphone her parents let us use inside the house we stopped this as young teenagers and her mother agreed to chap around us to see a concert the concert was inside a pretty small area and everyone was smoking part as rebellious as my friend and I tried to be we were innocent in the ways of inebriation at that time her mother hung out towards the back of the area and we went right up front it was an amazing experience for a young teenager at their first concert but we started feeling incredibly loopy people near us were blowing smoke into the air into our faces a layer of mist hung around the ceiling after the concert we made our way to where her mother was standing the entire time we got into the car and her mother says backquote girls I think we might have gotten a little high then she took us to Burger King and we ate a ton of whopper juniors and my friend and I were annoying the entire way home I still send my friend's parents a Christmas card every year they tolerated me out of love for their daughter but they also gave me a safe place to experience life and be a kid I still think of that night and chuckle to myself because the image of her straight-laced mother bringing us to Burger King just cracks me up and is one of the happiest memories I have of being a teenager and not being made to feel inherently bad but it also is a bit strange and unbelievable sounding especially when I realize it was probably not her mom's first experience with the munchies and maybe they were as entertained by some of our hijinx as we were when I was about seven or eight my friend's mom had just picked all the plants from her garden so we took hoses and had a mud / water fight in the garden we went inside took a shower changed and continued playing then about an hour later we decided to go back out and have another mud fight her dad got so mad that we wasted so much water that he didn't let us go back in and shower he made us strip and hosed us down in the back yard I went home afterwards when I was about 13 a different female friend and I went over to a male friend's house but he wasn't home and his dad invited us in to wait but had us come down to the basement with him he was doing something on his computer not sure what and asking us uncomfortable questions and making weird comments by how you've grown kinda thing we kept saying we should go you can just tell friend to call us when he gets home then our friend's little brother pops his head downstairs and says mom's mad you guys are down here so we took the opportunity to get out of there I'm about seven or eight and there was this kid in my class who lived a few blocks away kid was weird family was weird kid is on my block with his dad this scary fat dude with a dirty t-shirt and sweet pants kid invites me over to play some Nintendo I really don't want to go now my mother was overprotective so I'd usually just look at her and she could tell from my look whether it was a please mom can I go or a please mom tell them I can't go my dad however was oblivious to the world around him mum wasn't there dad was so I look at dad and he's all probably ya afternoon to myself so he's like go have fun can you drive him home when you're all done sweet kids dad drives one of those ancient mega vans the kid sits in the passenger seat there were no back seats so I had to sit on a center console floor is covered in fast-food wrappers and bags and just generally smelled like ass I get to the house the place is filthy the parents are smoking like chimneys the kids mom keeps calling me Adam my name isn't Adam I ask the kid who Adam is as we go to his room and boot up some Nintendo had to blow into the cartridges and such so it took a while kept pushing off the question played for a while after about two hours of my god being fully on I asked if I could go home kids dad drives me home in the mega van while smoking a cigar and cursing profusely over traffic miss turns etc I was never so happy to get home by this point my mother home and she is furious that my dad sent me off with this family and is thrilled that I'm back among her concerns my father had no idea where these people lived so my mother couldn't just come and get me he didn't feel like this was a big deal she felt otherwise the family was apparently known in the neighborhood the mother had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals since her oldest son Adam died as this was a long time ago I keep getting different versions of the stories from different family members the gist is that she was in some manner responsible for Adams death my mother tells it that she straight up murdered him but was found not guilty by reason of insanity spent a few years in the State Hospital and then managed to get released I've also heard that it was a criminal negligence thing that is she left him in the bathtub unattended and he drowned and she went away for that but it wasn't murder per se the father of this kid was allegedly someone who today would be a registered sex offender dude gave off a creepy vibe but it's possible that this one was neighborhood hype number two though was legit anyway years later the kid did some time because he would creep on women at a nearby college campus apparently got busted after he broke into some woman's apartment to watch her sleep the mom off herself while he was in high school had a weird drunken hookup with a friend's mother once my friend had moved back in with her mom when we were in our late 20s their mom lived around the corner from me so it was not uncommon for them to invite me over for drinks slashed in a slash hangout one night I was walking back from a bar and my friend text me to come over and have a drink I was only a block or two away so I thought sure why not and headed there I arrived and both my friend in to her mother were drunk and listening to music in the lounge room we all drank some wine together and were talking about an hour or two later my friend just hits the wall and wants to go to sleep I told her I will Gill home and walk with her down the hallway but her mother calls out winter picture I just poured you another wine so I put my friend to bed and head back down the hallway to the lunchroom straight away the mother has changed the music to something more romantic the lights were dimmed she tells me to come sit by her and within moments is telling me how I was always her favorite of her daughter's friends and places a hand on my thigh I'm not going to lie I always fancied her she was a top-notch milf when we were growing up and was flirty fun type we made out a little right there on the couch played with her breasts and she gave me the most satisfying [ __ ] I've had to this day we made loose plans to meet up again but ultimately decided it was too risky and left it at that and decided that it would be our secret and never tell anyone sadly she died suddenly last year and this is the first I've ever told anyone about it never going to forget this story I was sick zero and had two friends identical twin brothers a few buildings over from our apartment they were I think three or four years older than me they lived with their single mum one day I went over to their house with a bunch of snacks dunkaroos mainly some aureus and those cheese dip and crackers I remember going back home shortly for dinner and when I came back they opened all the snacks made the Dibble over the carpet and walls then dunked the crackers and cookies in them they were troubled kids dollops of chocolate and cheese whiz in crackers everywhere their mum comes in the room sees a mess literally explodes and starts beating them with a broom handle note she wasn't whacking just them she was poking them in the gut and ribs like jabbing them I was freaking out and just slowly walked out the room and went back home another time is when I convinced my friend who had overprotective parents to take the metro with me go like 40 minutes away from home to buy fireworks when we were on our way back just as we stepped off the bus his mum passes by at the same time he started crying before his mom even said anything and I think he got grounded for weeks witnessed his mom go red in the face and scream at him from across the stree prior to leaving I told my mom mom we are going to get fireworks and she said okay do you need any money we were like 11 Oh fireworks are illegal here I realized my parents were the bad parents I'd often sleep over at friends houses and their parents would have to ask me if my parents knew I was here most of the time they had no idea what I was doing where and with who I made friends with people when I was five to six that my parents had never even met I love saving money as much as the next guy but there's a fine line between being frugal and being cheap I like to think that line is drawn right before your complaining to the Applebee's manager to get your meal for free after the waiter brought out the extra honey mustard you asked for but failed to inform you that it cost 30 cents more a different story for a different time well when I was a sophomore I went on vacation with a friend's family to some beach hotel downstairs there was a super upscale seafood restaurant where we went for dinner one night dressed up in suits and everything unbeknownst to me this family was really cheap not frugal like they claimed but cheap first off the hotel we stayed at was already paid for because his mom was a teacher and the school board gave them this as a teachers weekend second because we stayed at the hotel that the restaurant is attached to we got 50 percent off our whole bill third my mom handed his dad money for my food for the week that I can spend on any meal I'd like the meal starts and the waiter starts taking drink orders I say coke please and his dad from the other side of the table leans over to me and says you sure now everyone is staring at me while I order my drink I said yeah I just like a coke please he pipes up again alright well if you're gonna be spending your parents money then might as well go big it's a soda for $2 but okay so I just kind of let it pass and broke the awkwardness by changing the topic drinks are served and now comes time to order his family decided for the table for five adults that the best plan of action is to split two smaller pet icers and eat free bread instead of getting meals individually I have my own money mind you and when I went to order a steak he says again in front of everyone hopefully you have enough money for breakfast so at this point I'm basically engulfed in this cocktail of passive-aggressive comments and cheapskate min suits that I kind of slowly lost my appetite and just sat there while picking at the appetizer we got the appetizer was fried calamari served on a bed of spinach the calamari was gone and the plate of greens had been sitting there for about five minutes now the waiter who had just started and was being trained that day comes by and picks up the plates all of a sudden his dad says out loud for the restaurant to hear where's the damn spinach the waiter rushed over and asks what the problem is trying to defuse it he might as well had walked up and kicked him right in the balls because his dad erupted in rage he had taken the weight of cleaning the plates off the table as some personal threat and had gone off the rails my friend steps in and tries to calm him and he said and I quote to his own son you I'm not going to calm down you're the kid I'm the dad remember that he eventually comes to a point of where the manager not only comped him his half-priced order of waters in calamari for free but a second free meal to ease this magnificent burden in this man's mind I remember being dumbfounded with how weak I saw him for the rest of our friendship to completely embarrass yourself and your family over calamari Jesus man when I was 12 I was at a friend's house playing with Lego when suddenly the power went out my friend got really agitated but I wasn't worried sometimes the power goes out right his older brother stormed into the room and started frantically pulling things out from under the bed he finally pulled out a small case and opened it up he pulled out a pistol loaded it and chambered around he sternly told us to stay in the room and lock the door and not to open it for anyone but him we sat in the room for a while being pretty freaked out before he finally came back and told us it was all right I went home I found out later that my friend's mom was in an abusive relationship and that her boyfriend had cut the power and phone line to the house after she broke it off with him he continued to stalk her calling her constantly and threatening to kill himself we live just across the street in a remote place and we were the only neighbors for miles around not long after my summer ended and we moved away I still remember the night that the police knocked on our door and talked to my mom she collapsed on the floor crying turns out he had lured my friend's mom out to a parking lot to talk and had bashed her head in with a rock and raped her body after we left I never saw my friends again
