I dunno how you people were raised o but I learned my idea of friendship from my mom. We were her friends, growing up. That’s why when I grew up, I found it hard to have solid friendships because i see what these people did & it wasn’t the same with what I learned from mom
So saying ‘your parents aren’t supposed to be your friend’ is a concept i may never understand. My mom would talk to us about every and anything. I was able to talk to my mom about everything, maybe because I knew beating was off the table.
My mom was a disciplinarian but her method wasn’t beating. So I’ll never understand why fear & beating is so important to some of you and why you think those = discipline.
It was in my adulthood I became secretive (shortly after I turned twenty and left uni). I can say it’s now that I’m an adult that I find it hard to talk to my mom about some things and it’s not because of fear. It’s because I don’t want to worry her about them.
