Not all parents are good parents. Not all kids are good kids. It really depends on both. My dad is a good dad, my mom is not a good mom. I only talk to one parent now.

[@AelleIti]

I agree with that statement.

[@LifesLesson806]

Wow such good reaction! Many much skill

[@lynnfreak109]

Man, you had bad parents and you make it a general issue? Really? I had parents who did their best with what they had and knew, but they were hard working and provided for our needs, education, food, gave us attention. They set boundaries which are absolutely necessary. There were things I didn’t like and I tried to do differently when raising my own kids. My parents didn’t have much money and couldn’t complete their middle school studies but they made sure to send us to college. So you don’t have to agree with everything they do but you’ve gotta be thankful you had parents, unless of course they were really awful. I remember being spanked, chased after, yelled at and I probably deserved it but I also remember the short trips on vacation, the times my mom would sit down to help us with the homework, her delicious cooking preparing our favorite meals, my dad playing baseball with us, teaching us to share our toys because we didn’t have many. I remember them allowing us to play outside with the neighbors’ kids in the afternoons. I remember Mom going to the market every Thursday and she would bring us a pencil, or a pair of socks or a lollipop, no matter how small she would make sure to give us a gift and we always looked forward to it. You see, I lost a 5-year-old brother when my dad was on a business trip. He drawn. From there on things started to get nasty, they were broken and they started to get really protective. My older brother and I were teenagers, the worst age to go through something like that. When I had my first kid I understood what my parents were going through. They are in their 80s now, still together but they have gone through a rough path. So yeah I changed a few things in my kids upbringing fixing things I didn’t like in my own but I would never turn my back on my parents, ever. As for my kids they are 29 and 25 now, we created for them a safe environment in which they could feel free to talk but we also set boundaries. We have been present parents, I’ve never tried to be their friend because I’m their Mom and my duty is to guide them not to be their buddy in crime. I think the problem nowadays is that parents are made to believe they have to go along with everything their kids say or want or that they cannot set limits, or that at 15 their kids are mature enough to even change their own sex. I tell you, parents have the obligation to be a good example for their kids, to provide for them, to talk to them, to teach them right from wrong, to teach them accountability for their actions and to do so with loving care.

-Lack of accountability -Forcing belief systems/traditions -Having unrealistic expectations -Portraying the bare minimum as the best -No apologies -Sense of entitlement -Dismissing feelings, wishes, thoughts and dreams This is why some children feel like their parents wont ever understand or listen and rather distance themselves instead of being disappointed

[@mikenuyen4441]

My 2 older brothers (born in early 1950's) both believed the world and our mother owed them a living. Neither turned out being decent people. Both very self centered. Neither could keep a relationship. Both are estranged from the rest of us. Could never figure them out.

[@MorenaDeRena]

You wouldn't know because a lot of us don't feel like dumping our trauma on people all of the time to justify ourselves.

[@AQuietNight]

I have known a few really lousy parents but I really feel little sympathy for this bunch.

[@Macarty15]

There is a lot of kinds of abuse, there are toxic people that happens to be parents...

[@mst-pierrem5729]

As a parent yes I owe you (not everything that extreme and insane) all the best parenting I can and all that is normally provided to the best of my capabilities UNTIL YOU ARE 18! After that, you start your own path. Being a parent isn't forever slavery!! Being appreciative is obviously something a generation forgot to teach you!! The only ones who I understand is those abused or withnessing abuse or parents refusing to acknowleged that yeah they might have done some stuff wrong. Be greatful to be alive in this day and age in a peaceful country with food and ressources!

[@spokeskeys6238]

What if you didn't properly teach them how to be independent after 18. Think of that.

[@LeiliMana]

​@Rose-wr3ji yeah you definitely sound like parent whose children won't want to talk to. You're being extremely dismissive and totally missed the whole point of the videos shown here! Children DO NOT want to be babied for the rest of their life's! It's the opposite but you don't even sound like anyone could explain that to you

[@mst-pierrem5729]

@@spokeskeys6238 well that a mistake... but I come from that and even if my parents are well just learn I won't cut them out for that. I try not to make that mistake with my child even if my friends are "well she's just a kid". (When are they suppose to learn when they are teens) Many others are amazed at how autonomous my kid is so I see that as going the right path. But yes, just learn and don't make that mistake with your own kids....

I hope makeup lady never has kids.

Me, don't like millennials in general. The next generation, no problem. Why? Whiners depending on mommy and daddy, while somehow deciding to attack their grandparents; the baby boomers, who among other things: stoped an injust war, helped blacks truly get the right to vote (which was not happening even when in theory they had said right); helping people to unionize, while the antis were beating them up, etc. Even our music had lyrics anti injustice. My issue with the next was that they also misjudged us, but became responsible for themselfs, even if confusing reality.

[@JohnAlcott238]

No that was the boomers parents the greatest generation. The boomers took all that plus the awesome work a single job out of high school and support a middle class family of 4 economy. Your parents ended segregation and all that and your grand parents took the depression and made the best damn economy we've had since. It seems like your contributions will be clawing back a few of your parents' accomplishments like row v wade and considering an average man with no degree now needs multiple roommates or jobs to support themselves paycheck to paycheck it looks like you pissed away your grand parents accomplishments too. And look to the average boomer its not they're fault. But don't go acting like on a government policy level your generation has done anything but get nominated for taking the world's biggest shit on your parents and grandparents accomplishments.

[@mangjitnijjhar1390]

Boomers were teenagers when the civil rights protests were happening.

[@carmenortiz5294]

@@mangjitnijjhar1390 As I was at the time. I met Martin Luther King Jr during one of the marches. That was not long before he was killed. And I have posted many times that women and children were in the outside of the crowds during the marches to protect him. I fall under the category. Meanwhile the male cowards, that included Jesse Jackson, marched in the inside protecting their own sorry behinds. Photos of the time show it. Never liked that creep. Honey, I was born and raised in the military in a family that has been one since 1942, with zero breaks. I was NOT your regular kid. Also met Malcolm X before one to the US's Three Letter Groups (still around) killed him. Nice guy trying to help black folks, a sin at the time. By the way lots of the people involved WERE teens and a few even younger, we were not like the current generations.

I really wish being a parent was actually a choice. I dont know how much it would effect my or other gen z relationships with our parents but being a parent is not a choice. Doesnt change that we owe them nothing and they do owe us a roof and food and love and all that but I think before anyone becomes a parent they need the choice and the wake up call that they are indeed signing up for the biggest one way deal of all time. Hell in some states we dont even give women the choice, and mens choice has always been shut up and keep our legs closed or now your dad. All to say I think reintroducing row v wade and giving expected father's a way to sign away their rights would go a long way in creating an environment where parents dont feel their kids owe them. Ususlly when I find a kid who hates their parent's I find a parent that if they could really have the choice wouldn't be doing what they were the last 20 years.
