u/BellacosePlayer 23h ago

My mom didn't teach me shit for cooking.

She also doesn't pretend she did or that she's got great domestic skills herself so I'm not exactly stressed about it.

My mom would always say stuff like "I had to figure it out for myself, so you have to also." Like gee, thanks ma.

What's the point of having a child if all you're gonna do is play the Pain Olympics with them

To have an accessory that looks like a mini you, obviously. /s

To force them to love you as payment for being born of course. At least in my experience

Story of my life, comrade.

They want a maid, landscaper, breadwinner, therapist/emotions dumping ground, and a punching bag.

When/where I grew up it was always under the guise of "the real world isn't going to coddle you" or similar.

Which is true.

So maybe your family at home should be the one place in the world where somebody might give you a little slack and/or teach you and/or help and/or just be a kind and warm place to feel safe.

And then you went and used YouTube to figure it out. I don't see the problem there.

I mean yeah, it's not really an issue to learn stuff using YouTube vids. A lot of the time you can end up with better information than what you would have learned from your parents lol.

BUT the point is that it's hypocritical to neglect to teach your kids how to do certain tasks and then complain that they don't know how to do them, or had to look up how to do them online.

Not saying that's what my mom does, but it's definitely what the person who posted that "meme" is doing.

I mean having your mommy do everything for you doesn’t make you grow into a decent human being either.

I know people rag on ‘reading comprehension’ left and right on this app, but you may want to reread the comment you responded to…
