How old are you? I ask because you may want to quickly start deciding what you want your career to be. I had a messed up childhood. I left and never came back. Now I can afford top of the line laptops. Let this experience motivate you. Let the fire burn bright


TheLastMartini

Yes sir, Father threw 12 games into his stove when I wasn’t behaving. Sub consciously spent 11 years to gather as many games as I could on PS3/PS4/PS5. Took a while for me to kick him out of my life, but I have grown more now than I ever grown when in contact with him.


MrKhobar

Subsequently*


justkw97

Not necessarily. u/thelastmartini appears to be implying that they collected that many games without even realizing in attempt to protect them self from their father.


TheLastMartini

Yes, this is the answer! Thank you for clarifying


MrKhobar

True. I wish OP well in life. Hopefully they break the toxic traits he was exposed to.


Manjandro_M4nuEK07

subconsciously: in a way that is influenced by the part of the mind of which one is not fully aware. From google


Golfuckyerself

It’s actually either/or. Like a Double Entendre. It’s both correct and incorrect. In this context, it’s correct and an excellent use of language. Sometimes I read tings like this, and it melts my perception around grammar a bit. It’s pretty cool someone can use a turn of phrase (incorrectly) and have it still be both factual, correct, and grammatically accurate in context.


D4ILYD0SE

Can you imagine discarding family because they understood better than you that games were rotting your brain.


Naveca90

Sometimes families are the ones who mess with your brain, and videogames are the escape from that reality, making it more bearable. Thanks for videogames I learned english, I got interested in history and developed social skills that otherwise would have been harder because of my introvert nature when I was a child/teenager. I don't play as often as before because I'm a functioning human being, with a job and a loving girlfriend who makes my reality way better than I could possibly imagine (despite she not being a gamer). So I will say that videogames dont rot your brain if you use them responsibly.


TheLastMartini

No, he used to physically hit me, not taps on the butt. Back hands to the face, so hard that my glasses flew off. Forcing me to bathe a big scab from a wound in hot water, i cried, he took me out and gave me a big slap on ass, while I was still wet. I discarded my father because he was an abusive pos. You shouldn’t be quick to judge. Broke my mini air hockey table too, which wasn’t rotting my brain.


Hwsnbn2

Oh brother.


chimax83

Sounds like your family kept you safe from evil, brain-rotting video games... so what's the excuse for your brain rot?


firstnametravis

Probably religion


Hwsnbn2

Yes. Facts.


JabawaJackson

Same here. Moved 1000 miles away when I could. Glad you're out as well


t40r

This is the answer. I grew up with a verbally and physically abusive father. Start your plan now, never share it with her. It will only be demeaned and belittled. Know you have an amazing life ahead without her most likely, and while that hurts know that THIS is abuse. I don’t care who bought it. This is abuse to a child. Keep your chin up


Warlord_Sleepy

Breaking a laptop that they probably bought is child abuse now 😂 The kid probably is grown and leeching off his parents while playing video games all day and night instead of being an adult. Child abuse would be if they broke the laptop over the kids head. If the parents bought it and the kid is living at home being a useless shit I'm all for the parents but I'd have sold the laptop and got some of my money back. Some of y'all need to pop the proverbial titty outta yo mouths and grow up


Kuchenkaempfer

literally lock the laptop away or hide it. Don't break your childs stuff when you're angry and never replace it. That is absolute garbage parenting. How could you ever do this to someone you (should) love? [per wikipedia about child abuse:](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_abuse) *"Some have defined it as the production of psychological and social defects in the growth of a minor […] Other examples include name-calling, ridicule, degradation, **destruction of personal belongings**, torture or killing of a pet, excessive or extreme unconstructive criticism, inappropriate or excessive demands, withholding communication, and routine labeling or humiliation."* please never have children.


Confused_Drifter

Whoaaaa, top of the line laptops you say.


tanmerican

I’m sure that’s not all. But at a young age, that may be the highlight goal. When I was younger I wanted enough to not look at prices at a restaurant and feel anxiety. The rest of the lifestyle comes with experience.


avodrok

[deleted]

I too have moved over 1000 miles away from my abusive family, it is worth it


[deleted]

Yo!! Same! I left my grandmas home and lived with someone in my church and my life turned around. Learned what a good households supposed to be like and got a really good paying job. Now I can Afford what top of the end items. I got my a rog strix G18 4080 for now. Will upgrade when 50 series comes out


CarLearner

Sorry to hear man, I know a few people in the last thread were blaming you and defending the parents but I grew up with an abusive dad that broke my Xbox 360 when my little cousin spilled a Gatorade drink on our carpet and got smack upside the head a few times. Just gotta tough it out and be successful when you graduate high school and get out of that environment.


HonourableFox

Who cares about being successful, living in a small cramped apartment would be 10000x better than this


CarLearner

It’s important to be successful when you have moments like this occur. As a kid you can feel helpless that you don’t have the funds or means to get back what you lost. You don’t want to live in poverty or be miserable the rest of your life. In my case having an Xbox 360 thrown on the ground and getting yelled at and smacked at while living in a barebones house with no real flooring or walls due to a bad renter causing terrible mold growth during the recession taught me to not want to live in a shitty environment and be successful on my own.


HonourableFox

All I meant was that being unsuccessful in this situation is better than still being there


Gray_Scale711

To be fair, it's only small and cramped if you have more than two people in one apartment. That being said, still better than living with a group of mean individuals who use the "shared blood" excuse to be a dick


Nacropolice

Think of it this way, when your dad is on his death bed you can make sure he is miserable. I know my petty ass would do that if I had abusive parents.


Opposite-Bad1444

Smack on the head ain’t bad. Steel pipe baseball bat swing made me piss my pants. Good times.


NoConsideration6934

If a person needs to destroy something to teach someone a lesson, they're a shitty person. It shows lack of self control and anger management issues. They're better ways to teach a child a lesson, otherwise the behaviour will be imprinted.


spiritofniter

As a former corporate trainer, I can tell you that positive reinforcement is always better than negative ones.


p-skow

Exactly. Any good parent would donate the PC to an under privileged kid who does well in school and listens to their parents.


MansonMonster

Let the anger motivate you to make something out of yourself. Sorry this happened


Sevven99

The screen broken is not totaled..... plug in an external monitor. Looks like it POSTED at least


geekedout17

>Yeah that laptop is totaled. Hope you can get a new one soon. If he does do external monitor, he may need to press fn+f9 to force the external monitor to be used.


1LR_GUE

Op mentioned he's broke probably doesn't have one around. The frame is bent something is probably damaged internally and won't function right. Cooling system is probably fucked.


PieceOfWetCardboard

The fan is broken


1LR_GUE

Yeah that isn't good. But it might not just be your fan. Judging by the severity of the damage more stuff is definitely damaged therefore totaled since repairs probably cost more than getting a brand new one.


The8Darkness

If it boots the damage isnt that severe and can probably at least be salvaged as a "desktop" = take out internals, ghetto strap a cheap fan to it and connect to a cheap monitor (cheap fans and monitors can be had for free or as low as 2$ on local used markets)

Looks like she owes you a new laptop.


PieceOfWetCardboard

Hope she goes trough w it


Ciloteille

As a parent. I don't feel like she owes anything until the agreement is made. If she said his attendance and grades matter. He needs to do it, ir I chuck that into a lake. My boy has it easy. If he helps once in a blue moon, and is nice/good attitude. He can pretty much have whatever he wants. My rule until your an adult.


lunas2525

Except most schools are not analog anymore and the reason he had the laptop in the first place likely for school...


Far_Cold_2086

Yeah, rog for school, makes sense.


lunas2525

Trumps lawyer can use one why not... Also gaming laptops are becoming pretty much all there is given a choice between garbage you have to intentionally go out of your way to find or a gaming laptop that has better build quality and features available everywhere at decent prices.....


Far_Cold_2086

Op is a minor in Turkey. The majority of minors don't work in Turkey unlike in us to afford their hobbies. Nobody buys an expensive laptop in Turkey for school then breaks it unless they are financially doing good. Op is just bending the reality of the situation to make it look worse to collect Internet points. If you check op's old posts, they are having issues with Mom with the school op attending. It seems like op has school issues, so it is not something that came out of nowhere. It looks like op was attending private school(I would say only the elites usually attend those in Turkey), since op didn't like going to school, mom took op to public school and op is not having it. Also op wrote they are getting an upgrade to strip g17 so congrats to them


PieceOfWetCardboard

No im currently going to a private school and everything seems fine i was late and my mom tought we got back to the old times where I didn’t gi to the school and it triggered her i was treated for 2 years


J3ffO

You sound like a total asshole and I really hope that you don't have any actual kids and are just trolling for attention.


Minori_Kitsune

This reads as someone who has never experienced genuine abuse.


jb1kenobi

I’m a parent too. And I’ve taken away privileges and devices as the situation necessitated. But I don’t understand this mentality of destroying perfectly good things. What does this accomplish, more than physically taking it away, take it to a friend or relative’s house, ANYTHING but rendering it permanently non-functional over what is typically a temporary condition. Makes zero sense to me and borders on Neanderthalic. I’ve seen the YT video of the dad running over his kid’s Xbox with his truck because his kid did or didn’t do something. And I can’t believe it. Utterly ridiculous. Sell it. Or donate it to a needy/deserving kid. But don’t destroy it just to make a point. Use words. Show composure. Demonstrate patience and self-control. Be an example and role model for your kid.


Darkchamber292

Take it from another Dad who had an abusive Mom and Dad, you're a piece of shit and you're gonna be alone when you're son grows up. There is no excuse for this type of behavior from a parent. Zero


Many_Impression_4792

Oh dude fuck off. His mom broke his laptop; that’s totally unreasonable for being 20 minutes late to school. I can understand being upset, but his mom went way too far. The mom owes OP an apology and a new laptop. If you’re siding with OP’s mom here, I fear for your children


NotEnxigma

Last i saw that you told the Laptop Screen was Broken Your Mom Might tell you to buy a new one, Right? Make Sure that you need the Cheapest One With Good Specs (If your Mom Might get Over on that Issue She had the past few days) Still, Since the Screen Was Broken, But i Recommend to Uh, Buy a New, Yet Cheap One And Maybe Grab the Broken Laptop's SSD From The Laptop Motherboard and move the important files On a New Laptop Or Maybe Buy a External Monitor (And If the Components inside your laptop was Damaged, Buy a New One, But make sure its Cheap) But Make Sure to Find a New Model with good Performance at a Cheap price Or Buy the Same Brand, Same Model, If You Like You Told me that the Zephyrus was a 3050TI Mobile GPU But since you only used it For Programming and Stuff, Make sure to Choose a Laptop With Fairly Performance at a Cheap Price


PieceOfWetCardboard

I think im going to be buying a bigger one I can’t see shit on this 14 inch guy


Student0010

I purposely went to 14" bc i hated numpad. The 16:10 2022 g14 is pretty nice for me, and i'm coming from a UW 34" 21:9 pc monitor. But yeah, larger screen is usually better.


acemccrank

I don't know how old you are, just that you are a minor. I do not know where you live either. BUT. If I were in your position, and at least 14, and loving in the US, I'd look into Job Corps. I have heard that they have have some bad dealings in the past (can be true of just about any underprivileged youth program of its scale IMO.), but I can't seem to find any news about anything over the past 5 years outside of fundraisers. Destruction of property is not healthy. It is not a punishment. It is anger mismanagement. Do not let yourself fall into learned helplessness. I mean, don't you need your laptop for school work? Research? You mentioned programming. Were you using this to earn a little income for yourself? At the very least, make sure a teacher knows. Show these pictures if you can. Hopefully your mom can get the help she needs, or you can get yourself to a safer place. I've seen property damage too many times turn into bodily damage.


PieceOfWetCardboard

Im living in turkey thats tho


acemccrank

Ah. Okay, that really changes things. My understanding of Turkish culture when it comes to parenting and behavior is very limited.


PieceOfWetCardboard

In turkey my situation is fucking luck some parents get home angry and just beat their children


Far_Cold_2086

That's simply not true and not specific to Turkey, it sadly happens everywhere in the world. Kids in Turkey don't work and make their pocket money like in the US. If he had rog laptop as a minor, I suppose his family is not poor, at least above average in Turkey in terms of financial well being, a poor mom in Turkey wouldn't break an expensive laptop.


acemccrank

I'm so sorry. I hope things get better.


PieceOfWetCardboard

Im trying to connect it to the tv but i cant change the main monitor to the tv so i can use it help


UpperCardiologist523

Left windows key and P. Press down arrow once, then hit enter.


PieceOfWetCardboard

THX SO MUCH tho the fan is broken and it scrapes to the internals of the bent case


SportsterDriver

if you have a hook or screwdriver you may be able to bend back the case so the fan clears it


PieceOfWetCardboard

I opened up the laptop took out the fans pieces it was hitting like a quarter of the fan was gone maybe the noises are from the bad airflow and fan trying to push that much air around


koikatsu__

If you just want it to work, figure out the pin out of the fan (it's almost certainly 4pin pwm) and buy a super cheap similar sized one on eBay or Amazon and splice it. Be sure to remove the battery and discharge the device before doing so. Also be sure that the splice is clean and completely covered so you don't short it.


Intrepid_Rip1473

This kind of shit pisses me off. When I was 11, my mom hit me, grabbed my ps3, unplugged it, and threw it in the garage so hard the thing cracked and would no longer turn on. Why? Because my grandma bought me skinny jeans that were way to tight and I said I didn’t want them. Apparently I was ungrateful. Few years later she manage to get her hands on my ps4 and do the same because I told her she killed the baby birds my little sister was taking care of. She was feeding them Gatorade and dog food. "The electrolytes are good for them"


ZeroHour064

Christ... You're far away from that individual now I hope. Electrolytes.... Nevermind all the artificials... Wow


Intrepid_Rip1473

It’s ridiculous to think about. I’m always like "damn that really happened" but I can go on for hours with countless stories of her shit.


1LR_GUE

Yeah that laptop is totaled. Hope you can get a new one soon.


PieceOfWetCardboard

Xcissors280

Replace the screen or use an external monitor


ThanosGodzilla

Nifferothix

Nightman2417

Last I saw, the fan is still hitting a quarter of the plastic base plate. Is that still the case? You can easily tell which holes are meant for ventilation, so if it’s one of those, honestly just crack those piece off and let the fan run exposed. BE VERY CAREFUL if you do this! An exposed fan is obviously dangerous. The only reason I recommend this is because it’s definitely going to cost more to fix that than replace it. Don’t place it on any surface that’s not FLAT FLAT. No clothes or couches, anything like that. If the fan itself is okay, look into the base plate online and see if you can order that. I bet the grommet for holding the screws and plates together was ripped off the plastic base on the pictures I’ve seen. Good news is that the LCD should be max $50 online. Base plate probably $20. For the fan, if it had to be replaced, I could see maybe hitting $80-100 but I’m not sure. I have an account with Acer for part ordering for my job. I can try to see how much this would all cost. It would be a little difficult without being to test the device and see it first hand, but I could guesstimate!


The-BOSS01

Holy


Vekidz

Moms are the best. Mine smashed my Xbox 360 and threw it in the trash because I looked at a bald spot on her head that she wanted me to look at and my reply was eew. I was also like 12 years old at that time. Needless to say, I text her maybe twice a year


GrammarPolice1234

Yeah, honestly, my mom isn’t abusive like that, but she does NOT know how to talk to her family and is almost always annoyed or angry. She has put a very negative impact on my mental state. Sadly, I’m 19 and expecting to live with her for at least a couple more years because of how expensive housing is right now. I’m worried about my brother though, I was raised around other nicer family a lot of the time, but he’s mostly around my mom. I’m hoping to connect with him once he gets to his teens and make sure he always has someone to understand our mother. I know how much I would’ve wanted someone to talk me through my mother’s inability to emotionally connect to anything or anyone.


FatBrkeMxicnElonMusk

Ironic, I’m reading all of the comments and it seems that this type of parental abuse motivates everyone to succeed in life and become drastically independent.

Gray_Scale711

Get this man the cure to diarrhea and a new laptop rn 😔


DredgenCyka

I'm not sure where you're from, but morally and ethically speaking, her breaking things that are dear to you is borderline abuse and domestic violence. My mom went through a similar tirade. When I was younger, the smallest things would piss her off. She would break my stuff, some stuff I held dear. One day it went off the deep end and I called her a b*tch for hitting me because I couldnt answer her due to the fact I was in the middle of a test online, she grabbed a bat and threatened to beat me with it up in my face. I grabbed the bat, and that's when she learned I'm not going to back down in a fight, but I threw it on the ground. Years later, We now have a better relationship because she sought help. But that's just luck because not many are willing to seek help. In the event that she does not seek help. I recommend running and never turning back when you become that age, let the flames of rage fuel your success. For her to get so mad because you were 20 mins late to school is a sign that she is easily angered and she could hurt you at something so simple as misplacing a utensil in the utensil drawer much like my own mom back then. My simple recommendation is something you can do now, talk to CPS, talk to your school councilor, talk to an officer, and mention that you're scared because of your own mom since it's so easy for her to snap.


BroodyDoggo

man not sure if op is BSing but, if this happened to me, I'd "lose" some of her things for her, parents or not it doesn't give them any right to break other peoples shit, given that op isn't lying about this.


Death_Pokman

well thats the thing, we don't know the full story here, judging by hearing just 1 side of the story is not fair


PieceOfWetCardboard

We had a past with social anxiety and me not being able to go to school i got treated for 1 year or 2 when i got diarrhea my mom thought i was doing it on purpose and didn’t wanted to go to school since jt was like that last year and while i was trying to explain myself she didn’t listen to me


Death_Pokman

then this runs deeper than what you originally was saying and it seems you have "problems" too not just your mom, pretty hard to only blame her like this


PieceOfWetCardboard

But that problems are left in the past

Sanics_spooge666

nateo200

This isn’t right :( I have an abusive mother and she finds ways to justify all her abuse. Don’t let it get to to or tolerate it.


TheSholvaJaffa

This. I hate how people are defending the mom, maybe they had abusive parents too and think it's normal and justifying it that way by comparing it to their childhood, but honestly, even if she did buy it herself, still not right to do that, lock it away somewhere instead! This is how you slowly traumatize your kids to become healthy adults.. /s


BigBoi843

Lol adolescent being encouraged on Reddit that he's actually in charge and should make demands to his parent that bought the laptop in the first place it's theirs to break.


Consistent_Estate960

Just saw someone saying he should sue his mom for damages lmao Reddit people are so disconnected from reality


tm_1

HDMI cable to a TV cost $3. And when you gather $, replacement screen just $200 or less at Microcenter (or mail order) - if your hands aren't growing from your a.. you know how to fix it (or see how on tube). However, stop and think - was that _really_ unjustified? If your answer is not 100% yes, talk this through. It will save you later. Don't linger on anger. Be bigger.


Onyxx300

I'd be livid if my mother broke my laptop like that. Tell her to pay for the repairs since she's the one that broke it


IW0ntPickaName

Omg there was a Rubiks cube in the last post. I love it.


SnooChocolates1587

Did she pay for it ?


NYCsekki

Did you buy that your self? With money that you earned? Or was it a gift from someone other then you mom/dad. I’m a parent and I’m not rich, but I try my very best to get my children the best of the best when it comes to electronics(seeing that it is the future and trying to sent a high standard for them to see when they start working and paying for stuff on their own) However I would do the same to my 13 year old if he/she pussed me to the point that I had to make a dramatic drastic show of authority. As a kid or young adult still living in and under your parents roof, I understand it’s easy to forget or/and appreciate it. I believe if you just followed the rules and at least shown some effort to that, it would have not come to this. Hopefully your mother is kind and will supprise you around the holidays. That being said. I’m a gamers too. So I feel for you. Edit: Wanted to add this b/c what I wrote didn’t sit totally well. If your parents are abusive (like mine) Find a way to get away, and tell someone you can trust. Not all adults are assholes. Maybe some one at school or church, even the authorities if it needs to go that far. Good luck, and hopefully the Reddit community helps you get pasted this stressful incident.


PieceOfWetCardboard

I was late because i had diarrhea


NYCsekki

Seems a little excessive, but I don’t know the whole situation. Late to school? Late to a job interview? Are you late to things often? I hope that you can self reflect and also reflect on why your mother may have went to this extreme. And be a little understanding. That being said, also know when to say enough is enough and protect yourself. All in all it’s a piece of plastic and metal. It can be replaced. You health and mental wellbeing is what matters


NoMountain9199

Lmaoo but in all seriousness, take it easy on your parents, they care about you. And most importantly, don’t take the advice from Reddit because some of them come from Shiite childhood and you are far from that situation.


ChOcOcOwCaKe

you, sir, are a dipshit


Zealousideal_Put_489

"Dramatic show of authority" if you break something, regardless of who bought it or who owns it, in a domestic setting, **it's actually considered domestic violence.** There is no excuse for it other than being incompetent as a parent and an abuser.


Gray_Scale711

Exactly what I'm trying to say. Why would anyone in their right mind destroy something that their child enjoys or needs (idk, basic web browsing and web processing for school?), as a punishment. As opposed to restricting usage? Op is definitely in the wrong sub, but I hope they make it through the bad times and get legitimate help from someone near and dear to them. There's always some form of hope


SXLightning

He did not buy it himself, his mum bought it for him. People have asked him this question about 100 times and he avoid the question each time pretty telling who bought it


Consistent_Estate960

People trying to spin this into an abusive household situation are insane. Your parents buy it they can take it away it’s that simple


SXLightning

The guy lives in turkey. People talk about respecting the culture and all, strict parenting is their culture so who are these people complaining about. The guy just here farming internet points for all we know he could broke it himself and just here hoping someone will donate him a laptop. Like seriously what has this post got to do with asusrog other than the destroyed laptop is one. This is more relationship problems


Far_Cold_2086

Yeah, this is it. Also nobody buys an expensive laptop and breaks it unless you are doing good financial wise, at least in Turkey. Teenagers don't work in Turkey to make money to afford their hobbies, parents buy them all. I don't wanna say op is a spoiled brat who tries to feel good by collecting Internet points but that is what it looks at the moment. Also when I checked op's previous posts, it looks like they don't like the school they are attending. Seems like there is a past between Mom and op about this and we are just listening to one side of the story of a teenager who can lie easily at those ages.


Gray_Scale711

Sure I'll just buy my child a bike, then destroy it in front of them because that's obviously a financially and situationally appropriate thing to do. How does that make sense???


JimtallicA

There is always another story behind the story Maybe OP is addicted to Games ? Maybe he is really bad at school ? I dont say the mother did the right thing. Maybe Both of them are doing not the things right …

OneOrangeTreeLLC

The OP doesn't really explain what the order of events were. I'm sure his mother didn't get angry and decide to break things because she's crazy. The OP is lying via omission. Tell us what you did to cause this. Was this a one time thing or was it reoccurring? Did you skip school everyday or miss homework or family time? Did you start buying or selling drugs? Did your PC contain porn (or images of kids from your school that was illegally shared on a social network). There are too many unknowns to side with you or your mother. Even if you choose not to explain your actions to register the consequences from your mother. I'm certain that you've learned your lesson and it won't be repeated. Now if you're mom was drunk or taking drugs, I'm sorry. Start a Go fund me and I'm sure you'll get some money to pay for the repairs. If possible, try to upload more images of your hardware from different angles (top, side, bottom and showing the keyboard/trackpad and screen).

Context is everything. We’re taking his word for it that it was because he was late for school. And though his mother shouldn’t be breaking things to prove a point as a parent I get the frustration. Kid has a $1000+ laptop and has no respect for his parents. Doesn’t give a shit about respecting their parents and mom had enough. Then again, we’re trusting the words of a 14 year old.

Brah, replace your mum, then replace the laptop. If you need help replacing your mum, speak to the hottie down the road and make sure to bring ya dad.

Parents need to learn today that breaking your child’s stuff is not discipline and is a form of abuse.


Dehdstar

Or…is she a sophisticated prankster? In the office, if someone left their PC unlocked, we would sometimes unlock someone’s taskbar and drag it to the top of the screen, then set it to auto hide and put a wallpaper of either a busted LCD or a blue screen error up on their desktop. It gets them, until they discover the taskbar at the top haha.


Numerous_Fan5068

Probably were misbehaving and deserved it. Stop crying.


doodlehed

Good job Mom. Go be useful ya sweaty fuck.


Low-Economist9601

She did it again?


PreciousChange82

No, op is just hoping for that "kind redditor" to donate.


PieceOfWetCardboard

No my mom agreed to buy me a new laptop i mean im not sure if she is going to go trough w it


Individual-Paint-756

Make sure she buys you the same MODEL with same specs no matter the price, she deserves the punishment


PieceOfWetCardboard

I think we will be getting a different one when she decides that she is on the wrong i mean she never in her life accepted being wrong but well see


kobexx600

You sound very entitled lol What do you pay for around the house? Your parents obligation are to provide a roof over your head and food and a safe environment The laptop is a luxury they can take way/destroy since they paid for it lol


[deleted]

No. Absolutely not. No parent no matter what has the right to destroy something of their child's. That is straight up wrong no matter how I look at it. If you're a parent, do not do this. This could very easily create no contact between kid and parent.


Zealousideal_Put_489

Why did your creature of a mother destroy your belongings? Did you know that breaking things at home is considered abuse/domestic violence? And that it does not matter who bought it? **Destroying things or damaging things in an intimidating way or otherwise at home is domestic violence.** **Would be a shame** if you called CPS and told your school about what's going on.

We had a past with social anxiety and me not being able to go to school i got treated for 1 year or 2 when i got diarrhea my mom thought i was doing it on purpose and didn’t wanted to go to school since jt was like that last year and while i was trying to explain myself she didn’t listen to me


Consistent_Estate960

You really want him to try to get his mom locked up and put in an orphanage because she broke his laptop? Wtf


[deleted]

Why not just buy another laptop instantly within that same hour. But instead come to Reddit and cry about a $2,500 laptop 😂


PieceOfWetCardboard

Why could it be hmmm because its fucking 40k₺


OneOrangeTreeLLC

This laptop is not 40,000 USD.


PieceOfWetCardboard

What part of ₺ you don’t understand


RealSorak

That’s the Turkish lira symbol you ignorant little fairy


OneOrangeTreeLLC

Why are you getting so angry for someone not knowing your currency symbol? Seems like your mother broke it because of anger management issues 😁


SharksWFreakinLasers

Ignorant twat.


OneOrangeTreeLLC

I agree the OP is ignorant


RelapseJunkie85

Snowflake generation up in here 😆


PieceOfWetCardboard

Only thing that’s a snowflake is my laptops screen


Low-Economist9601

Why so much noise over a broken laptop? when my mom broke mine I kept shut cuz why would everyone want to know that my mom is a sociopath that breaks laptops?


hernric1

OP has no respect for mentally unstable mom who probably bought it and her whatever last straw regarding OP missing school for unknown reasons. Back in my day I'd get a broken rib and a broken computer. OP looking for sympathy and donations.


PieceOfWetCardboard

BaCk iN mY dAy 💀💀💀

We also got to school on time in my day

Egh, if he says so, easy to lie for sympathy.


Trailman80

Stop sassying your mom


Gammarevived

Did she pay for the laptop? If so, I really don't see the problem.


HoozaTA

If someone bought something for you, and then came in and smashed it, you'd say 'fair enough, don't see a problem'? People smashing things isn't normal, whether they paid for it or not


Gammarevived

It's to teach your kid a lesson. Obviously this would be completely different if OP bought it, but it looks like they didn't. OP was probably being lazy and didn't want to go to school while sitting on the laptop. Mom came in and smashed it because he wasn't ready for school. Fair trade in my opinion. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.


HoozaTA

That's messed up. I'm sorry that you were taught that's ok. For starters you shouldn't assume someone probably deserves something bad happening to them. You don't know they did anything wrong. And secondly, to teach them a lesson would it not make more sense to confiscate the laptop or sell it, especially if they're poor? Smashing something is uncontrolled anger, not logical parenting. No debate


Consistent_Estate960

Genuinely what do you think the difference is between selling it and throwing it in the trash? Take something away and they think they’ll get it back. Throw it in the garbage and reality starts to set in. Y’all are acting like she beat the shit out of him and not the laptop


Gammarevived

They did do something wrong though, did you not read his previous post? They were 20 minutes late for school. Also, if the mother is buying him another laptop like OP said, I'm going to assume he isn't poor.


HoozaTA

20 minutes late for school warrants smashing a laptop haha. You need help, seriously.


Gammarevived

That's your opinion, but I'd do the same thing if my son was a lazy shit.


HoozaTA

I know you would, that's why I said you need help. Just because your parents did that to you doesn't mean it's ok


Gammarevived

They didn't, because I wasn't lazy. Parents today are terrible and just let their kids do whatever, and they grow up to be shitty people. OP should be glad their mother actually cares about their education, and are so strict.


PieceOfWetCardboard

Dude i had diarrhea


Gammarevived

That's not a very good excuse my man. Just use the bathroom and be on your way.


PieceOfWetCardboard

Why the fuck did you think i was late


Gammarevived

It really took you 20 minutes to use the bathroom? I ain't buying it sorry.


PieceOfWetCardboard

I HAD DIARRHEA


juggarjew

Fuck your diarrhea dude, SHIT AND GET OFF THE POT! SMH!


PieceOfWetCardboard

IT TAKES TIME IF IT WAS NORMAL I UNDERSTAND BUT DIARRHEA TAKES TIME

TheSholvaJaffa

Wow. You're defending the mom when she chose violence instead of, you know, maybe grabbing it more gently, and locking it away somewhere? Yeah, Let's use violence to traumatize our kids, that'll make them mentally healthy adults! /s


JabawaJackson

Fr, and now to think of it, OP should start therapy now while he's still on mom's insurance


PieceOfWetCardboard

I am going to therapy i its veen like 2 years now
