Me, in my early teens: I hate my life, I want to grow up and finally have control over my own life
Adults: Haha these are the best years of your life! Just wait until you have to pay bills!
I am an adult now. I don't like paying bills, but I also actually like my life now and I would never ever want to be 13 again.

First. Let them enjoy without foreshadowing anything negative. Second. Give them something to live for. Third. Don’t project your difficulties onto your children. Let them make their own path.

And also stop saying “well life’s not fair” every time a kid shows any kind of disdain towards anything 💔

It’s not even necessarily true either. Some people enjoy being an adult more and most people just say that because regret the path they took in life.

Then they make your kids years a living hell. I can't remember a vast majority of my childhood, that line in Lilo and Stitch about not even having memories to return to makes me cry.

Knew a guy that was told this since he was 12, a year after graduating he self checked out and left a book documenting every day after graduation saying how horrible it is to be a adult.

my parents are convinced I still have yet to enter "the real world" because I'm happier as an adult with agency as opposed to a child that gets told where to go, when I go there, and how I should think.
"but taxes"
oh no!! not tedious paperwork that I need to do or else I get in trouble!!! I've only been doing that every day for the last ~12 years 😱😱

being an adult is way cooler than being a teenager, people who say they peaked in their childhood had very fortunate childhoods
