I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, but nearly every comment in here is from the perspective of someone who's unsatisfied with how they were raised. What is it about Lemmy that this is the subset of the population they attract?
And I'll just say, my parents were far from perfect, but I am also far from perfect, and I understand that we're all just human beings out here, and that there is no guidebook on life, so we take these journeys around the sun at face value and muck along until we die.
But yeah, this thread is one of many where I've read similar stories from just about every comment. It's just strange to me that you don't get someone in here saying, yeah, good to have a mom who can help. It's all the opposite.
I wouldn't think too much into it. I guess that most users here just don't have older kids yet, so they might lack the perspective of being the ones to give advice that kids don't listen to.
My own kids aren't that old yet and will still listen, but I really hope that one day they will stop listening, because then I know I've taught them to be independent.
