Thank you, I made a strong effort to not continue the cycle of neglect and gave my kids the most traditional magical upbringing a lonely little me could hope for. I had great friends with great parents and learned would childhood should look like.
I’m not sure I am any kind of amazing person but yes I am a great parent. My childhood was a wild ride. I could probably write a book. A bi racial product of intellectual narcissists raised by wolves as a bizarre social science experiment in the early 80’s. I called them by their first names, my father was my mothers professor, only brown kid in all white private schools, drug addict step parent who was my sister’s piano teacher, bi sexual father diagnosed HIV positive in the early 90’s. I was put through it! On the plus side I am incredibly well read and educated, was exposed to art, culture and the theater, etc. But in all honesty just wanted to have a birthday party at McDonalds and parents that loved me like everyone else! Fortunately Birdies big kids father seems to be very grounded so they may turn out ok-ish. Well I really hi jacked this thread🫣 Just needed to vent all that out to some internet strangers 🤪Thanks you for the therapy sesh fellow snarkers.
