Dear parents: your children are still watching you after they turn 18. Just cause they’re out of your house doesn’t remove your responsibility to them. Their choices are not yours, as you aren’t given a pass because you don’t approve. And crucially: you don’t get to turn your back on everything you taught them growing up, effectively destroying what they thought they knew about you and about life.
This has been a mildly irritated PSA.
@tiaugn My mom called it the “Do as I say not as I do” method. It’s how I was raised.
@cjcrew yea im not so fond of that one
@tiaugn Definitely not the best parenting method, but it did teach me that adult are as imperfect as kids.
@cjcrew oh that’s not the behaviour I mean. Specifically here I was upset about the destruction of family bonds and hypocrisy in the parents actions
