another thing to add to the list of things that confuse me on a gut level: when people describe talking to their parents on a regular basis, or uh pretty much ever actually

you're telling me you guys didn't get punished for telling your parents things that fell slightly out of line with their expectations so quickly learned to not tell your parents anything ever? 🤔🤔🤔
one of the fucked up things about this is it didn't occur to me that anything was "wrong" for a long time b/c all the teenagers i saw in TV, movies, etc. growing up also hated their parents, and also so did nearly all my friends, so it all just seemed normal to me

do any of you feel like you had good relationships with your parents? what was that like? what did they do if you came to them with problems? did you feel comfortable opening up to them about uhhh anything? what did they do if you fucked something up?

QC, do you have siblings? I feel like a big thing that happened is that I helped take care of my younger sibs so my parents took me more seriously at a young age, which then also transferred to my siblings when they got to that age. Only children don't have that.
