Having kids made me realize my parents were not good parents

When I was younger I thought my dad was the most practically smart person I know. The other day I had to explain to him that mixing baking soda and vinegar just makes basically salt water and not some magic decreasing chemical. He did not believe me.

My parents always preached financial responsibility to me only to find out as an adult they're almost 200k in debt. My dad had a great paying job, I have no idea how they fumbled that so bad

"Adults" are just kids having kids. In my 30's and still don't feel like an "adult" in any sense of the word.

I had a developmental psychology professor tell me once that you know your frontal lobe has developed when one of two things happens: you wake up and realize your parents were right about everything, or you wake up and realize your parents were wrong about everything

I am thirty-two years old (damn it hurts to read that) and I can say that I've suffered quite a bit in my life from unnecessary expectations imposed by my parents that only caused me to struggle, all because I believed that I was being smarter than more rebellious or independent-minded peers by doing what my parents told me to do. Kids, if you have strict parents with outdated views on things, listen to your own intuition. If you feel like you know better, or what they're telling you to do isn't what you know you want for yourself, here's the honest truth: they really don't "actually know better". Do your own thing and lie to your parents. It sucks, but not every relationship is built for total honesty. You only get one adolescence. If you don't do what you want with your life, you will have the displeasure of waking up one day at my age and just regretting a lot of your life. Nobody ever thought enough to pull me aside and explain any of this to me when I was eighteen and I really wish someone had.

My parents were great role models, just models of exactly who I never wanted to become.

Look, I have learned so much from my parents. It’s just that a lot of it is learning how NOT to behave with other people.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized my parents were right about basically nothing. Every time I’ve taken their advice I’ve regretted it.

I remember watching the office for the first time and telling my dad that there’s no way bosses in real life can be this stupid. He just told me to hang on to my optimism for as long as I can.

growing up is realizing that you surpassed you parents in emotional maturity back in your 20s

I'm older now and realize they really knew jack about what was really going on. But having dumb confidence convinced me they were right when I was a kid.
