This! “I was a child; you were a grown woman wilding out during my formative years!” We are not the same.

This is the same energy as the parents who tell their kids “I hope you have a kid that’s just like you” like that’s the worst thing they can wish on them

Some people had kids expecting them to act like adults from birth yet then treating them like toddlers even when they are 40 years old 😳

My mom still brings up things I "ruined" as a child. I decorated her things which I realize was annoying but again I WAS A CHILD.

Mack Mack 🌈❤️🔱🖤 :
Not exactly related but my mom will bring up things I didn’t do as a child that I do as an adult. “You never did the dishes when you lived with me.” Yeah I was 12!

OMG!!! I had a child with extreme adhd who made me step up and find things that worked. That child owes me nothing!!! It made me a better parent.

the amount of times I've corrected my mom when talking about the past, "I was a CHILD, you were an adult responsible for dealing with situations." that's it that's all

Everyone needs to take a child psych/developmental psych class in high school. Most parents don’t have a clue what is developmentally appropriate

learning to be an “easier child” meant sublimating my needs so hard that as an adult i’m trying to learn how to identify and fulfill my basic needs

Don’t Mind Me :
My parents never put in the effort to help me. They just didn’t have the time and energy to deal with me. I always wonder why they had kids. Like, why???

My mom is still so angry with me (28) because I had extreme OCD and I had outbursts because of the anxiety that came with it.

Thank you from all of us who’s parents have wondered where their apology is for how we were as teens or kids 🥺

Also, even if what you did isn’t typically “developmental appropriate”, you still don’t need to apologize. You were doing your best! And your parents should have taken that into consideration

I heard someone say that you grew into an adult but your parents were adults your whole life. They had time to learn and change
