Why older generations think they are better at parenting
Now, I understand why my parents put myself and my siblings in extracurricular activities after school. When there's no school we attended some camp or did lots of church stuff. Now, I get why they did that. Then i hear my mum brag about how she and my dad raised me and my 4 younger brothers by themselves with no help but then they were working parents meaning they put us in nurseries and I took care of my brothers when I became a teenager whilst they were working. They brought in my dad's niece to take care of us when mum had her fourth child. Not saying they had it easy but they never share the hard part of raising kids. They look at you struggle and act like they don't see you. I saw the hard part of their parenting that's why I always give myself grace.

It’s partly parental forgetfulness that helps the continuation of our species (who would if they remembered every stressful detail?) and partly because we DO have more societal pressures now. Well-paying jobs, housing, quality childcare, and supportive community are all harder to access now. They just don’t realize it. 😔

Yaaaasss! Or the assumptions on whats going on with your baby get me every time. And yes before i got pregnant i vowed to clean out my closet so that i would trauma dump on my kods or in my marriage....and im never going back to not having therapist ever again. The thing with gen x they dont wanna admit is that they didnt know lots of what we had to learn and sometimes that can tickle their pride to make them boastful as if there were little to no bumps.
