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 They are legally adults and if their parents haven’t taught them well by 18, I’m thinking being an example isn’t going to stop the rude, unstable and/or illegal behavior.
@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.
@tiaugn My mom called it the “Do as I say not as I do” method. It’s how I was raised.
