My parents were strict about things that didn’t matter. They taught swear words and being gay was bad but never taught me anything about surviving life or making money or managing hobbies or anything having to do with self growth or independence.
They limited my ability to grow. Along with society at the time and then blamed me when for it when I became an adult and was socially dysfunctional.
It’s weird… If you’re not teaching your kids no one really is. They’ll end up learning from entertainment or people taking advantage of them. But still people have kids like it’s a set it and forget it process and then blame the kid/person for not knowing x thing.
