Parents

Today while on Facebook I saw an argument between a mother and her daughter. It was sickening. not just because they were publicly fighting on Facebook but because the level of immaturity of the daughter and ridiculous she was being to her mom was pretty much insane. Apparently she lied to her parents about where she was so they took away her car and she was like: this is so unfair! I hate you! You don't understand me! I made one mistake and you punish me! I can't wait to move out! Why don't you trust my friends nothing bad was going to happen! I wish you guys were more like friends instead of parents! I don't push you guys away you push me away! I wish I wasn't alive! One day you will see what you've done to me! For someone who thinks they are so mature and ready to be out on their own these are some really immature arguments. I totally understand where her parents are coming from. You lie you lose privileges that is just how it works. People like this that can say stuff like that to their parents make me sincerely hope they get a child JUST like them so they cans see exactly how hard they are to handle. Parenting is not easy. It is actually the main reason why I am nervous to have kids someday because every kid is different some things are effective for some kids and some aren't so you have to figure out each individual child's needs and attend to them as best you can while juggling a whole bunch of other things too. Also other people are very quick to judge you if your kid misbehaves. "She is a terrible mom because she can't control her kids. She needs to discipline them more". It is terrifying because you never stop worrying about them even when they are older because if you mess them up then they are gonna mess up their kids and then your whole family tree is ruined basically. I can just see all my ancestors watching me saying "Oh Ehrin! Way to go that kid is a menace to society!" I think a lot of people don't understand and probably won't until they have kids of their own.
