A parentified child is a child who is forced to act like an adult when they are still in their childhood. They tend to take on adult responsibilities for themselves, their siblings and often their parents.
Signs you were parentified as a child:
-Often told you were "mature for your age"
- Pulled into arguments between parents
- Relied on for emotional support from parents
- Spend a big chunk of time taking care of others in your family
-Often feeling responsible for the feelings and wellbeing of others
- Lack of boundaries with family members
- The familv peacekeeper
No time to be a child or engage in child-like activities

Get the parentified child mug.Means roughly "I agree" or "read this!"; unequivocal agreement with or endorsement of someone else's statements, oftentimes accompanied by an elaboration on the original statement. Generally found online in forums in reply to a post which the user of the phrase wants to highlight as exceptionally insightful or worthy of other readers' attention. Infrequently used IRL but hey, it's got to start somewhere. Possibly but inconclusively coined on slashdot. May occasionally be used in response to an item with which the user disagrees but wants to honorably highlight anyway.
David: You know, medieval people didn't really believe the earth was flat.
Frank: Mod parent up! This is a total myth. The story was made up as a strawman to make fun of religious people, but it is bogus. Every literate person knew the earth was a sphere, and probably every illiterate person also.
Sarah: But they did think the earth was the center of the universe.

Get the Insane Parent mug.The type of parents who will literally punish you to death if it means coming home without an A grade or better.
Expect little to no allowance as they are literally fucktards who just wanna save every single cent and not let their kids indulge in anything.
Expects you to go to some ivy league school and forces you to study till your brains go bonkers.
Expects you to get married as soon as you hit your late 20s and will nag at you until you are deaf.
They don't realise how much times have changed and it's no longer the traditional upbringing that makes someone do well in society. Why based a child's worth on how many achievements he's got? That's like raising a kid and then expect him to repay you with triple or double the amount.
Funny incident:
I was at one of my best bud's house at one time and he got yelled at for being a moron since he hasn't cleaned up his room. He then replies since it would be messy again then why bother cleaning it. He got grounded apparently. As of currently, he has moved out and stayed with a couple of friends here and there. He told me he has never feel so much happier instead of the constant berating and getting fucked by his parents for trivial issues such as grades,haircut,what time he has to go home,etc. The list goes on. He has moved out so yeah.
