What strict parents actually teach
-
No one is going to react to the fact that they have a furry pfp and their handle is "BugCatcherWill"?
I get that people are eager to air their grievances with their parents, but do you really think this guy is talking about the same thing you are? Methinks there's a good reason their parents kept a close eye on them.
Btw, for the happily unaware: The term "Bug catching" does generally not refer to catching insects, he's not an entomologists. The bugs he's catching are the kind you do not want to catch, if you catch my drift.

Similar story here. It really sucks to feel like I'm still learning how to be a functional adult. I hope you keep making progress and celebrate all the little victories along the way.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I do wonder how different if have turned out if I'd had just one person tell me there's a medical reason for why I struggle. That I'm not a failure or useless or stupid, I just struggle in a world not designed for me.
Since December, my almost 15 year old budgie died, I finally ended things for good with my toxic ex, my mum has passed away (I still love and miss her, her overprotective behaviour was from her own childhood trauma), my dad wanting me out and now I'm being made redundant again. I feel like everything is pointing me in the direction of moving away, but it's hard when no one showed me how. But maybe I can finally be in control of my own life. It's just very very scary taking those first steps.
Edit: your username sounds British (my a makes me look American, but I'm just a weird British baseball fangirl). If I figure things out, I'd be happy to share my wisdom.
I was thinking if no one's done it already, if I learn to be an adult, I could write a full guide for how to adult for us neurodivergent folk and others who were left behind.

Great lessons for the underpaid and overworked workforce though.

Neat thing that you know, there!

Well, no, it doesn't mean that. That is one meaning out of a solid eight or nine, depending on what dictionary you use.
Also, seems like you're being pretty strict about what it and isn't strict. If you're that inflexible about that, what else are you inflexible about?
Yes it does mean that. People who call themselves strict parents are happy to have power over their children in everything.
No idea why you try to change the topic. I am inflexible about a lot of things. About hitting children for example, shouldnt do that.
About politics. Shouldnt be a fascist.
About human rights. Shouldnt be questioned.

Eh, not as a kid. I got a phone in high school once I got my driver’s license. But yeah, parents are a blast, huh?
How are you feeling about cops and the government these days?
Acab. Fuck the police. Luigi for president. Lol.
