Parents you can tell anything to and be heard without judgement, or a list of all your failings in life.
Parents you're not afraid to tell that you tried for something, just in case you fail and it will be used against you for the rest of your life?
Just to clarify, I love my parents and know they love me back, but 10 minutes is literally the limit of co-existence
Parents are humans with their own flaws and backstories. They've had (presumably) 20 years of the worlds bullshit flung at them before you entered the picture. Can they be nice? Sure. But as you become an adult try to forgive them for the times they failed. Chances are they were doing the best they could with what they had at the time.
As a parent I try to listen with an open mind and admit when I'm probably a little biased. I still get called out and grump about it.
If there's anything you want to share, I'm willing to listen.
This sort of sentiment is fine to say parent to parent but parent to child it is a massive cop out.
"I had to put up with this bullshit, so you do to" is terrible parent.
It's not acceptable for a parent to forward the world's bullshit onto their child.
