still probably harmful to have parents who treat you like you're incapable of rational thought (even if, in this case, you are!) i wish i had parents like this

My parents told me some stuff but they wanted me to learn a lot of life lessons myself first then they'd talk with me about it afterwards. I liked that. Also "do your homework" is a very very useful lesson that teens disregard.

Parenting is super hard since it starts with someone who really doesn’t know better, so you do things without having time to explain (babies don’t know to not fall off beds, to not eat staples from the ground, to not only drink coke as source of nutrition). I think it trains...

... the “because I told you so.” It’s the responsibility for parents to unlearn that, but it’s pretty tough
