Water bottles ? Umm..so you regularly drink from water bottles ?

My mom would never. It's either I delete myself or she deletes me with her clothing hanger

Water bottles ? Umm..so you regularly drink from water bottles ?"
I drink with my ✨ hydroflask ✨ but water bottles? Oh no save the turtles

I only share things that I know she'll agree with. I don't share what I know she won't agree with because she's not very accepting of opinions and beliefs that contradict hers. she's got a fixed mindset that the only right way is her way and as I said before, I'm not stupid enough to challenge someone who has authority over me. she'll think she has to "fix" my views to match hers lmao

Water bottles ? Umm..so you regularly drink from water bottles ?"
yeah, why?

lmfaooo

oh fuck, uhhh I meant to say.. my very metal hydroflask

The fact that you had to adjust for your mother even though it should be the other way around :(( that's why children never get that close with their parents

Umm… glasses ? Like, drinking glasses ?

Hmm..yes.
I can get that.

I drink from my flask cuz one glass of water is not enough for a thirsty ass bitch like me and I am lazy to go to the kitchen to refill my glass so 🏃

precisely. her and I are cool, we talk sometimes but our relationship feels very superficial and it's a little draining having to constantly change the subject whenever she starts prying into my life or when a topic I know we'll disagree on comes up

I do that too but at night because I drink a lot at night…and I can’t keep getting up.

we have a cooler but it's downstairs so I forget about water. I tend to drink a lot more from bottles idk why and having bottles in front of me reminds me to drink em

Hmm…me and my mother don’t talk much. Like we talk but we don’t have any deep conversations ? Or any long conversations actually.

I get how she wants to get to know your thoughts or something idk being a mother is also hard too since you took care of this child and when they get older they just drift away.. but the sad thing about it is that the mother's also the reason why their children are being like that :((


she was actually a whole continent away when I was younger, studying. it was only for a few years but it caused a strain in our relationship because I was old enough to realise she was choosing to leave and I was frustrated at being the only one with no parents amongst my friends (my grandparents looked after me till she finished but they were old so I got introduced to independence at a young age and now I have a really bad dismissive avoidant attachment style towards everyone and cannot stand vulnerability)

mine wouldn't even argue she would just take my privileges away and she would genuinely believe I'm just confused and lost my way

Hmm…if it’s not too personal, where are you from ?


I'd rather not say

Hahah..
I know, like I’ll take tablet away if you don’t listen to me.
And since my tablet is my lifeline, I do end up listening to her.

Ok

exactly

I’m really surprised at how some people are best friends with their parents.
Like …best friends with your parents ? How is that like ?

Ohh…like you’re happy that some people are best friends with their parents ..?
I guess the stories are heartwarming


I’m really surprised at how some people are..."
I wonder the same thing... I think that I could't do it, because they still tell you what to do and all that, like there's no equality, and I think that's important in a friendship.
plus I couldn't tell my parents about all the bad things I do... And that's something I tell my friends...

If i ever have children...I want to be that mom!


That’s heartwarming ❤️
Hmmm….
What do you think of indulgent parenting style ?

I’m really surprised at how..."
yes! the power imbalance makes me uneasy as well

same! they should be able to create their own opinions!

I’m really surprised at how..."
I just can’t see my parents as best friends, or any one parents for that matter.
I think even if you’re close with your parents, there are still boundaries and authority ? Both which are important
That’s not something you have with your best friend.

..."
yes. Exactly!

I honestly don't know much about it to have an opinion, wbu?

Hehe…5 year old ??? Girl….
Why is this 5 year old acting like an adult ??

..."
yess

Hmm….
“ Permissive or Indulgent parents mostly let their children do what they want, and offer limited guidance or direction. They are more like friends than parents.”
Now ? What’s your opinion ?
