Maaaan I wish I had an environment like this at home when I was a kid… I always like to imagine how nice the feeling of safety must be for kids with a nice family. Well… For ppl like myself, let’s hope that we can be the family we wish we had…
Man, growing up I rarely had hobbies. Just study or nothing. Even then, I remember being scared of my mom if I slipped even just a little. That translated to the fact that now, if I get rejected from a job, I feel like worthless garbage. I am unemployed for last 10 months or so and the toll is high.
I really wish my mom was supportive of me, but well that’s the past, I guess.
My mum simply doesn’t understand temporary joblessness. She doesn’t understand that people might need to take some time to figure out who they are and what they want to do, and that jumping from one job to another without any pause is akin to a mental disease.
It sucks also that the world will not let you tread water, financially I mean. I have two months before my contract ends and already I’m sweating at the prospect of a) not having a job lined up, and b) facing my mother without one.
(I should add that in all other respects, she is a sweet lady)

A thousand times this! My family sucked at being supportive. But if anything, they taught me what not to do as a parent.
Hehe yeah, that’s the unfortunate silver lining…

Break the cycle by not having children. Otherwise, adopt.
How does having kids = being a bad parent?
No, break the cycle by having kids and raising them properly. Cut your antinatalist BS.
