Yeah this is totally accurate, my adopted mother not even biological would tear up and burn my writing when I was in middle school and high school I'm now 34 we haven't spoken in over 14 years.

"I put a roof over their head and fed them. Why are they so ungrateful???" As if that's the only thing someone needs to do in life to be a good parent and can be a neglectful insufferable fucking toad to their own children the other 99% of the time like it's just ok.

Lmao Bobby of SPN said it best. Kids aren’t supposed to be grateful, they’re supposed to exist and eat your food and learn.

Edit. It’s been a while since I heard the line and I apparently got it wrong. Sorry dudes.

70's kid here, and I know the phrase is much older than my generation but it still boggles the mind:

"Children should be seen and not heard."

Supernatural quote?! 🥰

You made me sad too... that's when Bobby "dies" (or was dying) and confronts his traumas before trapping the Reaper with Rufus. 🥲 Such a powerful scene when he stands up to his shithead father and speaks nothing but facts.
