Does anyone else's parents ever use their fih as a threat?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
do what they ask they do so much for you, you wont understand how much until you have to do it yourself I know your trying to be your own person and want to take care of your own problems but just appease them

While this is normally true, its a blanket statement and I hate that.
But you should normally try not to wake the beast.
 
Your parents are verbally abusive. Save your pennies and get the h*** out as soon as you're old enough. I've been there, and unfortunately if there aren't any bruises, no one cares.

Anyone who threatens to kill an animal to punish a person is a sick SOB. There is no excuse.

Oh geez, im sure that we dont need to tell Bottomfeeder to move out of his parents for THAT reason. His parents DO cares about Bottomfeeder and they always say things when they are p*ssed off but dont actually did it. Im sure his parents aint sick SOB.

why thank you. i finally have someone to agree with. i believe that if you get hit, then your body can heal. when your own family hates you and lets you know every waking moment, then you may never fully heal. it is absolutely ridiculous to punish your kids by killing fish. they are not just punishing the kids, but the fish as well. if i remember right, the fish were not the ones late for school.
 
^hold a minute! Bottomfeeder's parents didnt kill his fish as it never happened and they dont smashed his tanks. They dont hit Bottomfeeder either. Im sure his parents dont verbal abusive, they only said things (and a little swearing) when they were so angry at OP. My parents often use swearing when we got in arguements but does it make them bad parents? No they are greatest parents I have ever! What you think they let OP have fish tanks in first place and even let him use computer to check out this forum? It shows that his parents do care about him. Please dont try to make his parents into bad people. It is very disturb to see some posters calling OP's parents sick but remember his parents are NOT serious fishkeepers just like us, its just not fair to see few people make up some assumptions about someone's parents that they don't know. Im sure the OP's parents are great people.
 
That is messed up. I have a daughter she is only 1 yr but still I would never say i would kill her pets not matter What they are. What happen to the normal things like no tv, no firends over, no candy, no phone, or something like that.

i agree it's not right to kill an animal for its owner's mistake




i'd say your dad was a little excessive with the "Im going to flush em one by one" my parents once threatend my tank but they have never said they were going to kill the fish, they said (i can't remember what the arguement was about it happend a while ago) "IF THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN THAT TANK IS GOING TO GET SOLD." Not a nice thing to say but atleast they arn't threatening the lives of the fish (if the tank was going to be sold then i'd imagine they'd make me sell the fish too not kill them)
 
Well I don't have an aquarium but my parents always threaten to give my dog to a farm. Even for making the smallest mistake like forgetting to walk him 1 single time. But I know they will never do it because they love him too much, my whole family are a bunch of bullies.
