    Step 1: Delete their minecraft world they spent years building.

    Step 2: ???

    Step 3: “Why do my kids not talk to me anymore” -the old man/woman said in the nursing home

      That sort of thing isn’t anything new. My grandpa made my dad burn his baseball cards because he thought they were becoming “idols.”

      I’m always amazed that my dad managed to rebuild their relationship later in life.

      Sadly, that’s the kind of parent I grew up with. Even if it is ragebait, it comes from a depressingly real place.
