This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Where in the world are you able to have your mom "sign you up" to be a dispatcher?! To work for our dispatch, you have to apply, have a rigorous background check and a panel-type interview. And then they last less than 3 months because they make all their dispatchers switch from day to night shift and vice versa every two weeks.

Now that's some bad parenting. But you are going to need to do something if you don't eventually wanna live on the streets. Your mom isn't going to be there forever, and doing nothing for longer will make it more difficult.

And if it's her that's keeping you down and disfunctional, I can tell you from experience its 1000x better to live alone.

This sounds like getting a job thrown on your lap, unless you really hate it, go for it. You can always use it for some experience and go for something else later.

Please dispatch is a truly terrible first job though.

They need to be started off with something much more low stakes so that when they inevitably screw it up it isn't a major issue

Now that's some bad parenting.

I don't think this counts as parenting, because OP isn't a child.

That's a very fed up roommate being passive aggressive instead of just going through a justified eviction.

OP's mom was responsible for making them a productive, happy, independent person. But she clearly failed, that's on her

Only children think this way. Sure, your parents are supposed to teach you how to do things but if they don't or if they do a bad job of it you're still an asshole if you don't at least try to figure it out for yourself.

I don't think anyone knows the green text poster in question, so it could be either honestly. 'You can lead a horse to water' and all of that

Human children aren't horses, and I know being a parent is difficult, and that you might fail. And even if you do fail it might not be your fault, but it is still your responsibility.

You made the kid after all, you put them in the weakest state any human could ever be.

Plenty of people try to convince themselves otherwise, but you didn't give that kid a choice in wether they wanted to live

I'm not comparing children to horses, it's a proverb. You've created a really detailed narrative around a green text (meme) that I don't really feel like playing along with.

PS; I am not the mother of this green text, not sure why you're framing it like that

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Sure, let's expand on your proverb, and use it as a methaphor. The parents are responsible for the horse needing to drink in the first place. Even though they can't make them drink, it is still their responsibility. When it doesn't drink, that's on them: they caused the situation leading to that failure

Really detailed narrative?

The only detail necessary is that she has an adult NEET son.
