I remember when I was a kid, I used to think those were real.

Looking back, the videos are still funny.

I liked those at first, then after like 3 - 4 episodes Matt found out about the Youtube channel and while he still would rage and have a sulk he learned to repress it better so Stephen wouldn't catch him with the camera.

Acting wasn't too bad to be fair, but it's still clearly staged.

tfw I have 3 siblings and the oldest one is also named rob, and so happens to be the most selfish and arrogant out of all of us.

Is your brother Rob by any chance, older than you? I think I may have found a pattern here

My brother rob needed to be beaten as a child. He has drug problems. During christmas he got a new computer. Not a fancy 2000 dollar one, but one that was a bit better than his currently.

The intention was to give his old computer to my sister whom wanted one too. When he found out this he went down stairs and took a hammer to his old computer, Still thinking if he did this, he would get his new one.

My mom said no, it's for my sister now cause he did that. He then broke that computer in a fit of rage. Then tore down the christmas tree then and there.

Then the night came and we usually leave our presents under the tree until we decide where to put them. Well my brother had his way with them.

My mom was single at the time. Just her. She was afraid of him.

I have a story here
>Brother is 20 living with my mom
>mom is very poor. Barely making any money
>Mom wants to get my brother rob to go to a contracting agency to get one. (literally they give you a job right there)
>Rob says he goes but obviously doesnt. Said he didn't get the job
>He beats my mom because there isn't enough food. Like punching her in the face
>All he does is play LoL and jerks off and is a parasite.

>Be me, just called child services on my father who lives across the country from my mom
>Dad was sexually abusive towards me for most of my life, I was 2 months from turning 18 at the time. I knew he would abandon me like he did my sister
>Call my mom when I was at child protective services. Crying on the phone asking her if I can go there
>"Sorry, there isn't any room here. You're brother is staying here for a year"
>I tell the child service people to give me a plane ticket home and I'll figure **** out
>I sit in a hotel for 2 month before they can do that though. (no foster homes would take me)
>go home and knock on my moms door. Brother in his boxers. I can see his ribs, my mom lost a lot of weight as well. First time I seen my mom and brother in several years.
>Get a job in the first day of living there to ease my mom's burden
>Brother hates this and challenges me
>after much aggrevation, cops get called and he isn't allowed back there
>Mom says "thank you, I didn't know what I was going to do"
>She has the look of somebody on the brink of suicide.

My family is so ****** up. I hate my dad, my brother and my twin sister.

I read this whole thread. Every comment you made.
You are the kind of person that restores my faith in humanity.
From the sounds of it, you go out of your way to be a good person to others.
Even inviting your douchebag brother to Christmas this year too.
I know that you said you hadn't spoken to him in 2 years, I doubt I would have either.
But you still invited him to Christmas this year despite his behaviour in the past.
That's nice of you. You're a nice person.

My sister has a drug problem. She has sex with people for money or dope.

She has some personality issues as well, stole a lot of money from me to get drugs. I was saving to buy the computer I have right now. she stole 200~ dollars from me. then when I confronted her about it she threw a remote at me and split my head open. I promptley beat the **** out of her.

That aside, me and her have gotten along decently for the past while, but she is still a cunt.

This is a reminder that even with how ******* ****** my childhood was, there is always somebody who had it so much worse than I did. To be honest I don't know how you didn't kill yourself, but I am amazed at your strength to keep going for yourself and your mother. Be strong man, you can do this. Either that or start researching ways to murder people without being caught so you can kill all who have wronged you. Both are good.

Ah, that makes sense. I never attempted, mainly because I researched suicide a lot and knew that if I ever tried, I would succeed. Kinda hard to reverse a bullet in the brain or asphyxiation on helium.

You would think, but I think many people act poorly to adverse conditions. I think you're still an impressive person, regardless of how you may feel on the matter. Either way man, just remember it gets better eventually. I know that sounds like a lame ass cliche, but given enough time and effort it WILL get better. I know because I escaped my ****** childhood and am on my own now. I'm not happy, but I am far less miserable than I used to be, and that's something. That will hold true for you too.

I think I was around 12 at the time. I asked for Magic cards for Christmas. I meant Magic the Gathering and it never crossed my mind my mom would think I meant something else. My mom was excited to have me open a present because we were poor at the time and she wanted to see the look on my face when I got something I asked for. I ended up getting a deck of magic playing cards that would help me do tricks with and stuff like that. She asked if those were the magic cards I wanted and I told her yes. She's a mom so she was able to tell I was lying. The look on her face... that she knew she let me down... it was heartbreaking. It wasn't what I wanted. During her next paycheck the very first thing she did was take me out and buy me a few packs of Magic cards "on a whim". Even after I got the correct kind of Magic cards I wanted I practiced and played with that deck of trick cards for months and months after that, just so she wouldn't feel bad about getting me the wrong thing for Christmas. I still have that deck of magic cards a full 10 years later.

My mom was is like that to the tittle. We never had a lot of money and we couldn't afford good food all the time, but on Christmas she would buy frozen pizza and soda pop for my sis and I. One year, she burnt the pizza because she fell asleep and Katie and I were too young to know how to work the stove. She cried when she woke up to a burnt up pizza, but my sis and I ate it anyway. We convinced her that we liked it that way and, to hold up our lie, we asked her to always cook it that way so we always got burnt pizza after that. At 22 years old, I can't eat a slice of pizza without at least some burnt cheese on it. It drives my boyfriend nuts lol.

Besides the slight chance of fire, and decreased nutritional value, what harm is there in burning your food? It mostly just tastes like **** . As far as I'm aware, no harmful compounds are produced as a result that wouldn't otherwise be produced during digestion.

It becomes carcinogenic from what I've heard : "It’s long been known that just over-heating, let alone burning, some foods can lead to the formation of compounds linked to cancer. These include heterocyclic amines and so-called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can lead to fried or smoked foods posing a health risk."

My mom was not gullible in the least; however, my sis loved her marshmallows and hot dogs and grilled cheese burnt, so my mom just made the assumption that it was one more thing that we liked incinerated. My mom would never have made us eat anything that we didn't want to eat... but my sis and I always knew that we weren't like the other families and that we shouldn't complain because my mom tried so damn hard to make us happy. We didn't have money, we didn't always have food, we were always on the run from my dad, and I remember being homeless at one point; but we had each other and that was more important than Christmas presents or pizza or birthday parties. When you have nothing, the little things (no matter how small or insignificant) mean an awful damn lot.

That's actually really nice.

I'd rather post as anonymous because I don't want people to know this about me. Christmas for me was always bad, my parents divorced when I was 3 and my mom always did the best she could, It was always either presents or food, and I'm very thankful it was always food rather than presents. At the end of the day all that matters is family. Anyways fast forward a bit, she got remarried and things seemed well, except her new husband is a massive alcoholic. I'm always scared ******** of what might happen and always check on her. As well to top it all off I had a sister, and she died on December 24th 5 years ago. So, yea..... Christmas was always bad for me, but now I always make sure others have better Christmas's then me, and always lend a helping hand.

Not necessarily a poor story. When I was around 5-6 and my sister was 3-4, my mom bought me a kid's computer thing with games and whatnot, and my sister a play kitchen thing . Obviously her thing was much larger than mine, so I started bawling and complaining that her gift was way bigger so it was better than mine. My mom was trying to calm my down by saying that Santa thought I would like this gift better but I wouldn't stop complaining. Goddamn I still feel terrible for the **** I did when I was little

Suffering is relative man. As somebody who had a very painful and miserable childhood, I am a firm believer that your feelings shouldn't be influenced by other people who have it "worse". Sure, a person who grew up on the streets unloved and uncared for may objectively have a "worse" childhood than the kid that grew up in a single wide trailer with an alcoholic mother and abusive father, but what does that ******* matter? To both of those kids, their respective lives are the worst that they can feel. Knowing that somebody has it worse doesn't really make your own experience better in comparison, it just makes the empathetic feel worse since they now know that other people are miserable and in horrible scenarios.

What happened to you is terrible, and it's completely fine to think it's still terrible in spite of other people having more terrible things happen. Just like someone being happier than you doesn't mean that you can't be happy, someone being sadder than you doesn't mean you can't be sad.

Growing up, my mom was going through Menopause (She was 36 when she had me). One christmas, my older brother (who is dead now), was helping her load up stockings. She bought full size candy bars, each stocking was to get 1 hershey's, one 3 musketeers, 1 reesee's candy, and 1 Crunch. It was the same every year. My brother accidentally put 2 of one of them in a stocking. My mom flipped out, threw the stockings around, opened up all the gifts and threw them at us, and called my sister telling her not to come over as Christmas was canceled. She then proceeded to start drinking heavily (12 pack in a few hours), when she was good and toasted, she started to cry because no one came for Christmas...to this day she refuses to acknowledge the day happened.

Another day (Not Christmas), I accidentally broke a dish when washing them, she got pissed and ripped all her dishes (plates, glasses, bowels, etc) out of the cabinets and broke them and then cried because she didn't have any dishes.

It sounds like your mom has some sort of undiagnosed mental issue, which the menopause probably just exacerbated. I'm sorry you had to deal with that man, especially as a kid.

It won't make you feel better, but my mom was much the same way. I was washing the dishes after Christmas one day, and there were a ton so I asked her if she could cover the chicken since I would be a while before I could put it away and I didn't want the dog or a bug to get to it. She said that a little **** like me couldn't order her around, and just ******* punched me in the back of the head. She then left without another word and left me holding the back of my head on the floor wondering what the hell I did wrong. It didn't hurt all that much (I've always been pretty pain tolerant), but the fact that her response to such a minor request was to insult attack me really hurt me emotionally. That sort of **** was "normal" with her, and I still have no idea why the **** she does it. It's probably not healthy, but I just try to live with it as best I can since my mom and brother are the only real family that I have. It seems to me like you've taken a similar approach from what little I've read.

My last 5 christmases have sucked. I grew up in a relatively well-off family but my dads business failed and we instantly became uber-poor as we lived in a big house (which he remortgaged to fund his business) and spent all our savings.

2011: My younger sister almost died of alcohol poisoning (her birthday is a few days before xmas, she was 18 and hadn't really drank before that). We spent xmas with her in the hospital, she recovered fine though.

2012: I was stuck at university alone as i couldn't find a job and couldn't afford the train home

2013: My older sister died of cancer on the 23rd

2014: My mother became a compulsive hoarder after things took a turn for the worse, we couldn't afford presents, we just got each other stuff like socks/slippers and a box of chocolates, we had chips (or fries in the us) and beans for dinner

2015: We've all got steady jobs now so things are going a bit smoother, however one of our dogs has developed an intestinal problem. She almost died last night in excruciating pain. The vet still doesn't know whats wrong with her but she doesn't seem as much in pain anymore, the £800 vet fee means that our combined savings for xmas have been spent though. She stable at the moment and is sleeping on my bed, though she can't move. The vet mentioned that it may be Addisons disease but won't know until more tests are done. I'm hoping it is as its relatively easy to treat. We may not have presents this year but at least my baby will be alright

I have a sad story. I'm coming down off a very long Addy ride so I can write some **** .
It's not as much sad, more that I really just feel like an asshole and I feel like I can tell you guys.
I was an only child until I was around 6, and my brother was born late in the year, close to Christmas.
I can say I was pretty privileged when I was an only child, usually got what I wanted, we had things like a speed boat, hot tub, nice house etc.
As soon as my brother was born all that **** disappeared. Like within 3 days of him being home. Boat, sold. Hot tub, drained and sold. Nice tv, sold. Paintings and prints, missing off the walls.
At the time I was like, holy **** is this what having a baby is like? That sucks.
None of those things really affected me directly so I said, meh alright.
As it gets closer to Christmas we start eating worse food, and less of it. I'm hungry because the most I get in a day is 2 PB sandwiches and a package of pop tarts.
I don't say anything because parents are eating the same. Meanwhile the little **** gets to eat whatever food he wants out of special little jars, and if he doesn't like it? Fine.
I said I didn't want my PB sandwich once. Once.
Anyway, Christmas rolls around and I'm ******* pumped.
Finally, I can ask for the stuff that I want and Santa will come through. (I'm six so Santa was still a thing)

Sure bud.

Christmas day, sprint out of bed at 7 a.m. sharp (earliest I was allowed to get up on Xmas)
Get to tree, see my name on 3-4 things, one from Santa, others from parents. You've gotta be ******* kidding me I wrote down like 30 things for Santa to get, **** dude, I was praying to this man like he was Jesus.
I was confused at first because there were at least 20 packages there, how am I only seeing 3-4?
Nope I was right, brother's name is on all the others.
**** me. Seriously? I didn't ask for a little brother, you TOLD me I was getting one.
Now I have to suffer because you decided that you wanted another kid running around?
Thoughts passed through my head that they had just made another baby because I wasn't good enough.
Parents come out, I act excited. We do the whole Christmas ritual opening the gifts and **** , I open my own while I watch my parents open all my brother's for him.
******* **** , I have to watch you do this? Is this going to be an every year thing?
Later, parents apologize for me not getting so much. I say it's fine, I act fine, and I go to my room and cry for a while and play with my 3 toys. One of them was a Zoid Liger Zero, I remember that. So that was pretty cool.

WEEELLL ALRIGHty

Over next few years things get better. Next Christmas was gradually more normal, still feel like brother gets special treatment though.
FF>> 8 years, I'm 14. Finally get the courage to ask my dad why we had to sell all our stuff to have a baby (not exactly the easiest question to phrase to your father).
Dad tells me he lost his job a week before my brother was born. Had to sell stuff to at least keep the house. He was an insurance adjustor or some **** , anyway he brought in pretty hefty checks I suppose. (Breadwinner)
They laid him off for budgetary reasons.
There's something truly ******* disgusting about letting someone go directly before the holidays, knowing they have a baby on the way. Maybe I still don't know the full story but, we were past it. He picked up a second shift job at a car manufacturing plant.
His transition was so seamless that it seemed planned. I figured he was working at night so he could take care of my brother during the day while mom worked.
He didn't want to tell me then because he didn't want me to think less of him as a father, not being able to keep things, provide for us, give us what we want, etc.
He was too embarrassed to ask both his and my mom's parents for help. "How do you explain to the creators of the person you love that you are incapable of providing for them like you promised?" –my dad's words, not entirely verbatim.
Thinking back, I jumped to a lot of conclusions about what was happening at the time.
Thinking back, I didn't think it was weird that my dad was home initially when my brother was born, I just thought both parents needed to be home for some reason. It didn’t faze me that only mothers get maternity leave.
Plus, babies need certain foods to grow properly, and they don't really have a concept of what they need, just what they want. My parents weren't going to force feed my brother.
Plus, I had no concept of money, one of those toys I got for Christmas was probably worth 5 of those baby toys.
Couldn't believe he didn't just tell me, I would've understood… Or, maybe I wouldn't, I sounded kind of retarded.

Killer part? I can remember very distinctly before ****** Christmas, my parents got each other very elaborate gifts. Not always expensive, I remember one tennis bracelet (also sold), but mostly just clever **** , lovey dovey.
After ****** Christmas, Parents haven't gotten each other a thing. Every year. Won't let me buy them anything either, even now that I have a decent paying job.

Me and dad hammered last week at family friends' White Elephant ******** extravaganza.
I bring it up, "Hey, why don’t you and mom really get anything for each other anymore? Are you guys just out of ideas? Ever since ****** Christmas (pretty sure I actually said "that one Christmas" or something) I haven't seen you get each other a gift"
"That year, we realized you and your brother were the only thing we ever wanted, or ever could want again. There isn't anything money could buy that compares to having you two every Christmas."

I'm 20 now. I'm on the cusp of adulthood, and I have never felt like such a spoiled ******* brat.
I spent the first real years of my brother's life loathing his existence because of misplaced anger, ignorance, and selfishness.
I know that I was never truly impoverished, I know that there are people who had less than I did, and I was thankful for the things I received that year. The only thing I was poor of was perspective.
And I know it's selfish and sort of sadistic but, now all I want is to be put into my parents' situation, so I can learn firsthand what truly matters to me.
I love my mom and dad, and especially my bother.

This was a nice read. And don't worry, siblings usually hate their new brother/sister when they get all/steal all the attention. I know my sister hated me for a while when i was younger, so you shouldn't feel bad about it.

This kind of make me jealous, even if it is a sad story. I'm pretty much on the opposite situation.
I lost both my parents before I was 12, my father left me a big amount of money that is paying for my college education and comfortable life style right now, having close to zero social skills and no family, I spent every Christmas night so far having a nice dinner all by myself, pretty much like every other day. Somehow burned beacon with someone who loves you sound much better.
