I just... I hate it when parents blame their kids for things that are entirely on the parents.
Like, for my mom it's "oh I don't have a job because I had to look out for you" or "I don't go shopping for clothes anymore because my body has never been the same after giving birth to you and I'm always so concerned about buying you ungrateful children clothes". Is that supposed to be my fault? Am I supposed to feel bad about that? Because you sure do bring it up a lot when you're talking to your friends on the phone and trying to make your life seem worse than it is because they have ACTUAL problems like their kids are struggling with ADDICTION. If I have kids, and it's a strong IF because I'm certainly going to put a lot of thought into it because raising a human being is important and shouldn't be done lightly, I pray to the gods that I will never, ever make them feel like they have to be grateful for the things I am morally inclined to give them.
And don't even get me started on how she talks about my dad. My dad is a great man, a great person. He isn't the best person he can be, sure, but he's doing wonderfully despite how his own dad treated him. She complains about how he "starts so many projects that he never finishes", when it's PRETTY FREAKING OBVIOUS why he never finishes them since he works from 7-5 every day (painful work, hunched over all day and trying to use special tools to work on people's mouths and I cannot IMAGINE the kind of stress from holding a person's comfort and health in my hands) and then comes home and has to run his tractor and look after his cows, because that's somethings he enjoys but it's a LOT of effort to put into a hobby.
I just. The only person to blame for your problems is you, quit putting the blame on everyone else. I am sick of the idea that kids should worship the ground their parents walk on and take verbal, physical, or emotional abuse with a thank you and a smile.
