I’ve come to the conclusion that parents refusing to apologize is a universal thing.
Moms and dads out there just can’t actually form the words “I’m sorry” when they’re talking to their kids…even if they’re wrong. DEAD WRONG.
So they come up with a funny way of saying sorry without actually saying sorry. It’s all very strange, don’t you think?
People on Twitter shared the ways their parents apologize to them and they are pretty hilarious.
1. Oh, that’s a classic.
Have you heard it before?
“Im sorry that you think I owe you an apology”

2. Really? Still?
You’re not over it?
“You’re still upset about that?”

3. Swept under the rug.
Many parents do this.

7. Over and over again.
Get it together, Dad!
mom: i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to do that/say it like that (genuine apology)
dad: i’m sorry *does it again* i’m sorry *does it again* i’m sorry *does it again* i’m sorry *does it again* i’m sorry *does it again* i’m sorry *does it again* i’m sorry *does it again* i’m sorry *does

8. Everything is fine now.

9. The old guilt trip.
Another classic!
“I’m sorry but what you said hurt me. You make me feel like I’m a bad parent. You had no right to say that to me.”
My parents like to guilt trip me a lot 🙂

10. That escalated.
Not a good ending.
*yells at me and makes me cry and then yells at me not to cry*
hours later
*acts like nothing happened and expects me to do the same*

Did your parents ever “apologize” this way?
If so, please tell us about it in the comments.
Thanks in advance!
