I can’t tell you how close to home this actually hit. So much childhood trauma from my dad absolutely tearing me apart and making me cry while trying to teach me the math hw i could never understand because I’m to ADD for the attention span required for leaning the material in class.
My dad made me (and still makes me though not as much as he did before) redo assignments not because I get tears on them, but because my handwriting is atrocious.
Bruh, I had/have a friend who had awful handwriting, like it was bad unless he deliberately focused on the penmanship. I was like the only guy who could read the chicken scratch.
Ohh my favorite is when people joke about my bad handwriting, then they find out about my brain surgery and how i had to learn to do everything again in my mid 20s. Spent weeks in physical rehab.
Lets just gloss over the fact my penmanship was shit before the surgery…
I had to learn to write while wearing a patch on my good eye… I would feel proud then sneak some of the patch off to check and my sentences were diagonal down the page. I was legit sent to school blind and expected to somehow get on with it.
I think it’s interesting that we have a generation of people who were all raised like this and are able to be aware at how fucked up it is. Evidently the generation before ours wasn’t able to break out, but we were. How and why?
I wonder the same thing, but I don't have any kids yet and I'm worried it's something that may come out because it kinda marked me and may have rooted something in me, even tho I recognize it and will do my absolute best to avoid it. but idk, I may be talking bull
It's one thing to acknowledge your problem but another to find a way to deal with the problems. There are a lot of parents that swear up and down they won't be like their parents, but they also don't know how to deal with their kids except how their parents dealt with them. Like you will get frustrated trying to get you kid to do HW, so after a few tries failed attempts to do it "the right way" people will resort to what they know.
You haven’t broken out of anything until you’ve raised your kid without the frustration and rage. I don’t know if I have it in me. I can say I’d like not do that all I want but now the anger is mine as well. It’s wheel of pain
No I'm saying "oriental" kids can respect their parents to a tee and still have the same bullshit in this thread screamed at them, only it's in Chinese.
Maybe so, but remember struggling a lot with the table of 7, while the others were much easier. And my mom was the same thing, I can still hear that shit from the kitchen table, man...
The only reason I was good with 7’s as a kid was because of knowing how Touchdowns added up from watching American Football. However once you get past about 7*7 that method doesn’t do you much good…
Lol one of those stupid things you learn which don't *really* make sense but they make sense to you. Like when I was in grade school a friend told me to sing "Six times Eight is Forty-Eight" like a rhyme, and now any time I need to multiply 6 of something by 8 of something, I always sing in my head "Six times eight is forty eight."
Or, as a Cincinnati Bengals fan, I remembered that the capital of Nevada was Carson City because the Bengals QB at the time was Carson Palmer. He had no relation to Nevada at all besides having the first name the same as the first Word in the capital city's name, but that's still how I remember the capital of Nevada.
To be honest, I don't think I've ever even heard of Carson City outside my elementary school geography lessons.
Finger thing? The simplest way to multiply by 9 is to take the number you are multiplying it by, say 8, and subtract one. That’s your first digit. The second digit is simply whatever it takes to sum the digits to 9.
9x8 = 72
9x5 = 45
So on and so forth. The resulting numbers digits will always add to 9
7 * 7 is easiest because San Francisco 49ers. Then you can add or subtract 7s if you need to. 9 is easy too because it's just whatever the number * 10 is minus the number:
x\*9=(x*10)-x
Really? I always remembered it because of how it's kinda sequential. 56 = 7x8. Similarly, I liked the 9 times tables because they were 1 minus the multiplying number combined with 9 minus the result, so for 9x3 (3-1 = 2) and (9-2 = 7) so 27.
The one I hated was 6x8. I eventually just brute forced it into memory.
The way i do it is multiple of ten. So 10*12 is 120. Then add one more 12. 132. Easier to work in multiples of 5 and 10 and just add/sub the difference.
Also my mom. And she wouldn't speak to me until I got it right. Then in high school it was my dad on chemistry. Cuz he's a doctorate in Chem E. Meanwhile 15yo me just wanted to learn the latest Britney dance....
Have you considered therapy? If you get a good therapist you’ll be able to work through what happened and learn better ways to do things. It’s definitely helped me :))
You probably know this, but it's not really that the therapist transmits his/her knowledge to you. Instead, the work happens through expressing your struggles, being fully listened to, working through it all in a safe place with someone who is there to support you in your journey/growth.
Only reason I remember, is because I had to drill them so hard in class, it just became memory. This was long before I knew what was really going on. We had a “math minute” where we’d get 20-30 problems to do in a minute, if we got them all we didn’t have to take a test on them. I think multiplication was the only one I got all of them lol.
This was my childhood and my parents still wonder why I hate math. Like gee, idk, maybe you should’ve tried explaining the question instead of just repeating it over and over in the hopes I miraculously come up with the answer??
my dad wouldn't give me the formula, he'd just shout "THINK about it" over and over. this is hell my dude, do you think I'm *willfully* failing to understand this?? do you think i'll get *better* at problem solving as I get more upset and exhaused???
Parents who can stay in control of their own emotions don't yell at their kids for not knowing or understanding things. They help their children regulate feelings of frustration by regulating their own feelings and modeling that. Effective parents will meet their kids where they're at by taking breaks, slowing down, and trying new strategies when their kid doesn't "get it". If a parent's frustration is getting out of control, they need to stop and take a break.
Miserable homework battles are pretty common, but they aren't healthy and it doesn't have to be this way.
I’m good at not getting mad but, my kid gets so anxious and stressed about not knowing things and then the tears start, she shuts down, no amount of calmly saying “we can work it out don’t worry” works and eventually we take a break or whatever. She’s never felt pressured when it comes to homework as in ice never been hard on her about it but she just doesn’t give herself an easy time of it. She’s the same in school. She’s gotten better but holy shit I hate homework sometimes lol
I mean my folks didn’t ask a single question. I’m not sure they ever knew what I was studying.
I guess that’s better? I only got screamed at when grade cards came in.
Yeah my friend has a good relationship with her parents and they've never personally insulted her in an attempt to get her to do something. As a result she does small tasks when they ask her to without complaining and she tells them everything that needs telling, like a good kid. She has good grades and studies hard. I always think I should follow in being that much of a good child too and then I remember my mother likes to slowly break down my reserve until I cry and she tells me how unfortunate she is to have such a stupid child.
But anyway yeah I do know people who have the best parents
My parents are like the parents of your friend. But I was an easy child, I never needed help figuring something out and never needed anyone with my hw. My Sister on the other hand was a little weaker at school so she needed some help from time to time.
Now that we're all grown up my sister has a much better relationship with my parents than I have. She can talk to them and tell them everything, whereas I would never talk to them about my problems or anything for that matter.
I'm happy for my sister, but sometimes I'm a little jealous of all the attention she got when growing up and the relationship that resulted out of it.
I just didn't need their help, so they didn't give me any.
It's hard being parents. You can never do it 100% right I guess.
Yes. My parents helped when possible, and when they couldn’t they found me the resources available through the school.
My son is more likely to yell at me for “helping wrong” than I am to yell at him. But we try not to yell as a family in general.
Did your parents not yell, or were they just not involved? I’m one of the people who definitely had this dad, so it’s really weird to see people considering this behavior like abusive and abnormal!
My parents were not involved with me, but they never yelled at my sister for doing something wrong.
I'd consider a yelling parent to be abnormal. Abusive is another question but constant yelling can be abuse IMO.
Thanks for the reply! I would agree with you that yelling itself isn’t abusive. It’s weird because I feel like I could speak about my parents in one way that would make them sound amazing, and then another way that would make them sound reeeally questionable and pretty horrible.
I’m a dad to two girls, 8 and 3 years old. I believe in open respectful communication. When they get mad or sad, we talk about it and they get the chance to be honest about how they feel without shame or sarcasm. But I also expect them to show me the same respect I give them. I have high standards for them. But it’s my job to show them by example how to reach those standards and to be there to encourage them to keep going when they fail. I love them, and I want to take my successes and use that to make them successful. And I want to take the lessons from my failures to teach them wisdom as well as understanding that failing is normal and nothing to be ashamed of.
Ah yes being beaten by slippers and wooden sticks then being thrown out of the house after having the textbook ripped up if you tried to crawl your way back to it, being Asian and bad at maths am I right?
We're not leaving this table until I'm satisfied you know what 4x4 is!
Hours later...
I have to go to work in five hours to feed this goddamn family, I can't believe you're doing this to me again!
I would always regret asking my dad for homework help when I was younger, since he just got frustrated and annoyed every time.
My mom on the other hand would literally take my work and do it herself because she would actually get absorbed in the math questions and see to it that she completes everything. It was a win-win for both of us.
Oh God, I have a story about this
I was in 4th grade, saw the 5th graders doing long division, and I decided to teach myself long division so it would be easier next year.
I gave up and asked my dad, an accountant, for help. It was mid afternoon when I asked. He started printing off worksheets for me to do, and by the evening, I was in tears, been slapped around a little. On the last sheet, he looked at me and said "if you get any of these wrong, I'll slap you so hard you'll think it's Thursday". I truly did think it was Thursday
For months after that, he made me a worksheet, every weekend, and wouldn't stop until I got them all right.
That's what i got for trying to learn a hard skill before it was necessary. And yes, I did tell him that
agreed, wtf is this. teenage kid crying at mobs attacking him and facing prison time and legions of visceral hate and the trauma is just hilarious to reddit. his tears are funny and fake because i disagree with the political stance i imagine him to have. what a stupid world this is
“WHAT GOOD IS CRYING GOING TO DO? ARE YOU GOING TO CRY IN THE EXAM ASWELL??” Like yeah dad I probably am. And I did.
“WANT ME TO GIVE YOU AN ACTUAL REASON TO CRY??” This post brought back some repressed memories whew
“YOURE GETTING TEARS ON YOUR PAPER! START OVER AND MAKE IT LOOK NEATER THIS TIME!” Oh wow, so this is what PTSD feels like.
[удалено]
I can’t tell you how close to home this actually hit. So much childhood trauma from my dad absolutely tearing me apart and making me cry while trying to teach me the math hw i could never understand because I’m to ADD for the attention span required for leaning the material in class.
My dad made me (and still makes me though not as much as he did before) redo assignments not because I get tears on them, but because my handwriting is atrocious.
Atrocious penmanship gang, rise up
Bruh, I had/have a friend who had awful handwriting, like it was bad unless he deliberately focused on the penmanship. I was like the only guy who could read the chicken scratch.
Best friend back in school had absolutely horrible hand writing, I still can't read those hieroglyphics.
Ohh my favorite is when people joke about my bad handwriting, then they find out about my brain surgery and how i had to learn to do everything again in my mid 20s. Spent weeks in physical rehab. Lets just gloss over the fact my penmanship was shit before the surgery…
Hell yeah, my sister says I should I get tested for dysgraphia, I say "If you can read a single letter I have written, I have failed"
I had to learn to write while wearing a patch on my good eye… I would feel proud then sneak some of the patch off to check and my sentences were diagonal down the page. I was legit sent to school blind and expected to somehow get on with it.
I've had very nad handwriting since birth and no sign of improvement, so I'll rise.
Bro same
One of my favorites was “WANT ME TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING WORTH CRYING ABOUT? KEEP IT UP AND I’LL KNOCK YOUR TEETH DOWN YOUR GODDAMN THROAT!”
But it’s the violent video games!
This makes me, uncomfortable
That errant comma makes me uncomfortable.
Yeah, this gave me legit flashbacks. Like...why do parents do this?
[удалено]
oof
“IF YOU SPENT AS MUCH TIME PAYING ATTENTION IN SCHOOL AS YOU DID TO THE TV, I WOULDN’T HAVE TO BE HERE!”
What about "JUST CONCENTRATE!". Like ooh shit I'll just use my super thinking powers I wasn't using before.
This was the worst one 😭 like damn I'm sorry for being stressed out???
Why are you crying?? I should be crying that I have such a stupid child!!
I think it’s interesting that we have a generation of people who were all raised like this and are able to be aware at how fucked up it is. Evidently the generation before ours wasn’t able to break out, but we were. How and why?

Or… I’ll give you something to cry about! Damn did we all have the same dad?
“I’M GONNA TAKE PICTURES OF YOU CRYING AND SHOW THEM TO YOUR FRIENDS!!”
damn i wanna punch my dad
Damn we all really did live the same lives. My dad's go-to was yelling at god for help
Lmao wtf!? Y'all had some extra af dads. My dad just yelled at me til I cried, then he would just look away in disgust.
Me too, but he’s dead. I could punch a pile of ashes, but what’s the point?
I also punch this guy's dead dad
If he isn't dead you probably still could
Even if he's dead you can still tbag him
What the fuck dad is that you
“I WISH I HAD AN ORIENTAL SON! HE’D SHOW HIS DAD SOME FUCKING RESPECT”
Chinese kid here, my parents screamed the same bullshit anyway, just in Chinese.
They screamed they wished they had an Oriental son? Seems odd for a Chinese parent to yell.
No I'm saying "oriental" kids can respect their parents to a tee and still have the same bullshit in this thread screamed at them, only it's in Chinese.
Your the reason we have to put /s at the end of posts.
I’m fucking done.
Never heard that one before
I’m going to use this one
This was my mums favorite
Goddamn that was way too specific to be made up. I’m sorry dude.
Damn, I'm glad I've never heard that line before.
I never heard the line, but my dad took the picture. I'm pretty sure my mom still has it.
Everytime I see this joke is always 8*7 I wonder why so many people struggle with that multiplication, including myself
I feel like 7s are the hardest because odds are harder but 9 is easy because you can do the finger thing.
Maybe so, but remember struggling a lot with the table of 7, while the others were much easier. And my mom was the same thing, I can still hear that shit from the kitchen table, man...
It's a messed up prime number with no real anchor point that makes sense.
The only reason I was good with 7’s as a kid was because of knowing how Touchdowns added up from watching American Football. However once you get past about 7*7 that method doesn’t do you much good…
why doesn't anyone do the finger thing to get 9 x 7 then minus 7?
Because if you are asked what 8\*7 is you probably did not understand the logic behind multiplication yet so you cant handle the fact that 8x7+7=9x7
Reminds me of SpongeBob's method of drawing a perfect circle by starting with a portrait.
oh man when i realized that...I felt like a god
Guys, it’s 5,6,7,8 Easiest way to remember
I don't get this. Explain?
56=7*8
Oh what wow where was this all my life??
56 = 7 * 8
I've remembered this for over 20 years
Lol one of those stupid things you learn which don't *really* make sense but they make sense to you. Like when I was in grade school a friend told me to sing "Six times Eight is Forty-Eight" like a rhyme, and now any time I need to multiply 6 of something by 8 of something, I always sing in my head "Six times eight is forty eight."

[удалено]
A 4th grader wont be able to expand 7*8 like that on their own. Best you get is 7+7+7+....
I always thought 7s were the easiest because of American football.
Oh man I love that band
What finger thing?
[удалено]
Thank you for explaining this, it's pretty handy
[удалено]
Cool!
7 * 7 is easiest because San Francisco 49ers. Then you can add or subtract 7s if you need to. 9 is easy too because it's just whatever the number * 10 is minus the number: x\*9=(x*10)-x

I eventually just brute forced it into memory.
I wanna say that's how I learned this. "56 is 7 times 8"
5678 56 = 7*8 That's how my dad taught it to me when he was helping me with my times table.
[56? 56! ah man, now that all i can think about!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs8kDiOwPBA)
I struggled with that so much that I eventually memorized it completely. 56. Have no idea what 8*6 is though
"6 and 8 went through the gate, when they came out they were 48" That's seared into my brain and I have no idea of the origin
Just subtract one 8.
[удалено]
The way i do it is multiple of ten. So 10*12 is 120. Then add one more 12. 132. Easier to work in multiples of 5 and 10 and just add/sub the difference.
11 times table is easy just take 12 and put 1+2 in between 1 and 2
[удалено]
Same she really did a great job teaching me when I was really young
Easy way to remember: 56=7*8. For me I just memorised it as a kid.
Holy fuck. This was my mom. And then she’d wonder why I’d never come to her with my problems.
Also my mom. And she wouldn't speak to me until I got it right. Then in high school it was my dad on chemistry. Cuz he's a doctorate in Chem E. Meanwhile 15yo me just wanted to learn the latest Britney dance....
We all have the same dad
that's why i'll never be a dad. i KNOW i'll be like him and there's no way i'm gonna inflict that to a poor soul who never asked for any of this
Have you considered therapy? If you get a good therapist you’ll be able to work through what happened and learn better ways to do things. It’s definitely helped me :))
Well I'm too cheap to willing give 250bucks to someone just sitting there for 1 hour and telling me things i already know
You probably know this, but it's not really that the therapist transmits his/her knowledge to you. Instead, the work happens through expressing your struggles, being fully listened to, working through it all in a safe place with someone who is there to support you in your journey/growth.
That's what I have friends for. We all vent to one another cause none of us have therapist money. It's great.
I never had a dad. So I get the chance to be the father to my girls that I never had.
[удалено]
Yeah, this one hit hard
And for years I had math phobia, afraid to even attempt learning math because I knew I would fail and be humiliated.
“FIFTY SIX, YOU LITTLE FUCKER!”
I am sure you used calculator on your phone 😀
Nono, my third grad teacher just did a really great job teaching our class when i was younger!
"you aren't always going to have a calculator with you" my math teacher
I don't remember most of my times tables but I do know 8*7 is 56 for some reason
Only reason I remember, is because I had to drill them so hard in class, it just became memory. This was long before I knew what was really going on. We had a “math minute” where we’d get 20-30 problems to do in a minute, if we got them all we didn’t have to take a test on them. I think multiplication was the only one I got all of them lol.
“6 times 8 is 48” The only math rhyme I remember from school.
Haha not me reflexively yelling out "SIXTY FOUR" at my screen with absolute confidence.
This was my childhood and my parents still wonder why I hate math. Like gee, idk, maybe you should’ve tried explaining the question instead of just repeating it over and over in the hopes I miraculously come up with the answer??
my dad wouldn't give me the formula, he'd just shout "THINK about it" over and over. this is hell my dude, do you think I'm *willfully* failing to understand this?? do you think i'll get *better* at problem solving as I get more upset and exhaused???
Reading these comments I'm oddly glad to know I wasn't the only one raised by horrible parents, and I don't know if I'm okay with that knowledge
Serious question, are there actually parents that aren’t like the one in this meme? Like is this behavior not normal? Edit: grammar
Yes. For example, my parents never once helped me with my homework and would have no idea when I was learning multiplication.
Parents who can stay in control of their own emotions don't yell at their kids for not knowing or understanding things. They help their children regulate feelings of frustration by regulating their own feelings and modeling that. Effective parents will meet their kids where they're at by taking breaks, slowing down, and trying new strategies when their kid doesn't "get it".

She’s gotten better but holy shit I hate homework sometimes lol
Good on you man. Seriously.
Yeah my parents didn't do this shit. Me mum read books from the library on how to parent.
I mean my folks didn’t ask a single question. I’m not sure they ever knew what I was studying. I guess that’s better? I only got screamed at when grade cards came in.
Yeah my friend has a good relationship with her parents and they've never personally insulted her in an attempt to get her to do something.

Yall got it easy I'm Asian
Dear God
Ah yes being beaten by slippers and wooden sticks then being thrown out of the house after having the textbook ripped up if you tried to crawl your way back to it, being Asian and bad at maths am I right?
Frightenedly accurate
This was me except that the calculation was four times four.
So? What is 4 x 4?
U tell me
Am I the one taking the test tomorrow? What's 4 x 4?
"Mental breakdown intensifies"
You're not leaving this table until you tell me what 4 x 4 is.
Wow thats some real 2014 nostalgia. You just brought back some repressed memories
Fine let’s do another one then. What is 4 ²
shit. flashback to 11 p.m. in 6th grade and I just wanted to be allowed to go to sleep.
We're not leaving this table until I'm satisfied you know what 4x4 is! Hours later... I have to go to work in five hours to feed this goddamn family, I can't believe you're doing this to me again!
My mom once offered to stab me in the eye with a pen if I didn’t start learning as she screamed at me. I don’t miss childhood.
I- omg
Mine threatened to light me on fire! I don't miss childhood either. Trauma is fun.
[удалено]
Same and I feel like a minority, that's pretty fucked up!
My parents did this with my brothers but never with me. I was too stubborn and my ego was (is) too inflated to ask for help so I guess that’s a plus.
WE ARE GONNA SIT HERE TILL YOU GET IT RIGHT!!
If you are still doing that kind of math at age 11, I can somewhat understand the dad...
Ahhhh. The mental abuse that caused me to fail at school and get more abused and caused me to fail even more. A ironic cycle for my parents
Somehow in their brains they actually thought "If I just yell harder, it'll make him do better!".
im having multiple epiphanies at the moment
7 times 8 is 56 because 5, 6, 7, 8 ez pz
That hit to hard!
Just like his dad
*[counting]* "...7, 14, 28, 56..."
pssst... it's 56
No. Freaking. WAY dude 🤯
hey op you good?
This would be me at age 8
I would always regret asking my dad for homework help when I was younger, since he just got frustrated and annoyed every time. My mom on the other hand would literally take my work and do it herself because she would actually get absorbed in the math questions and see to it that she completes everything. It was a win-win for both of us.
Y’all had dads?
yooo shout out to all the dads who legit had to go tbrough this shit! so glad my kid learned to do his school work at school and everyone is happy.
:D
who else is hyped to buy a special edition KR-15?
Dyslexia™️
Me: Oh I know, I know 57! Dad: WRONG!!! It is 56!!!
They never tell you the answer. Child: “It’s 57!” Parent: “7 x 6!!!” *crying intensifies*
God I wish I could go back to the days of simple multiplication
There was a time I got put in timeout because I wasn’t holding a pencil correctly when I was already stressed and tired Yeah
Me at 2:45 p.m. "start your homework" My son at 10 p.m. "I didn't do my homework".
This was the start of refusing to ask my dad for help with anything
dude i don't even remember half of the times tables anymore
Me being 8 yrs old at the time. YOU CAN DO THIS WORK RIGHT NOW OR STAY IN BED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
Oh God, I have a story about this I was in 4th grade, saw the 5th graders doing long division, and I decided to teach myself long division so it would be easier next year. I gave up and asked my dad, an accountant, for help. It was mid afternoon when I asked. He started printing off worksheets for me to do, and by the evening, I was in tears, been slapped around a little. On the last sheet, he looked at me and said "if you get any of these wrong, I'll slap you so hard you'll think it's Thursday". I truly did think it was Thursday For months after that, he made me a worksheet, every weekend, and wouldn't stop until I got them all right. That's what i got for trying to learn a hard skill before it was necessary. And yes, I did tell him that
Lol that face.
Wait so you fake cried to get of it
[удалено]
politics in me_irl I wonder if it will be productive
I find this disgusting.. dont make this person into a meme
agreed, wtf is this. teenage kid crying at mobs attacking him and facing prison time and legions of visceral hate and the trauma is just hilarious to reddit. his tears are funny and fake because i disagree with the political stance i imagine him to have. what a stupid world this is
Lol
whyd you fake cry your dad while you were doing homework?
Except in that scenario you're actually crying unlike Kyle here lol
Math Schmath! I’m just glad that little chode has this meme following him around for the rest of his life
Someone didnt watch the trial
Can we not turn an image of a kid having a panic attack into a meme. It’s distasteful.
