If letting your children make their own decisions is a sign of good parenting, then the parents in these screenshots have failed. People from all over the US have shared appalling extracts of conversations they had with their controlling fathers and mothers, which were collated in a gallery from the trivia website DrivePedia.
In one of the heated exchanges, one mother threatened not to pay for her diabetic child’s insulin supply because they had taken too long to reply to one of her messages. In another, a father told his child he would marry a 20-year-old woman just to spite them because they were not responding to their texts on Snapchat.
