It’s called parentification and it’s seriously abusive on children. It fucks people up for life. Don’t ask me how I know this. I recommend r/emotionalneglect

I can do both, im a fucking child with a questionable sense of humor but also good with money and with a stable job. Just don't let adult life kill your humor and will to live.

that’s one of the many reasons I’m just simply never going to raise children, I’m not a good example to anyone and I’m ok with it

I agree with you. The person that wrote this doesn’t understand that what they’re saying doesn’t equate because children don’t know how to be adults….. However, that doesn’t mean that children can’t learn to be responsible from the outcome of a child parent. But still I agree with you

Can we say, that jellyfish prepare its ass everyday? 🤔

If you don't have a path to recovery, having to behave like an adult in childhood can result in behaving like a child in adulthood, keeping the cycle going.

One of the hardest experiences I've had to grow through is realizing I actually am more mature than my household. That it was reasonable to be a reflection of the environment I grew up in. Growing out of that mould sure feels like breaking something sometimes.

It's super weird seeing the bad patterns and stuff in others after unlearning it. A special kind of sting.

Same hole for reproduction and excretion. Not so good. I'm just glad we don't have to tear our own asshole open every day like some jellyfish.

You wish. It just leads to more uneducated, undisciplined and immature adults who have children of their own, raise them irresponsibly and continue the cycle.

The person who wrote this has probably never actually been around highly dysfunctional families because this take is idiotic.

Nah when we decide to have kids we make sure we’re ready. Children are not conducive to a fun lifestyle

Yeah me too. I recently had to talk my mother out of getting 2(!) puppies since she already has two older dogs and complains about how expensive their care is.

This is why most commercial truck drivers have to get a physical each year to keep their CDL.

Or better yet, I act like a child my entire life and don't have children!

More horrifying than dealing with supply-chain collapse?

I think you’re getting downvoted for the perceived tone of your comments (which admittedly comes off harsh), but what you’re getting at is spot on.

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times

My high school friend's mom was so much fun. I now understand why my friend was always scolding her, when I was always so jealous she had a mom that was that cool and free spirited.
