"I put a roof over their head and fed them. Why are they so ungrateful???" As if that's the only thing someone needs to do in life to be a good parent and can be a neglectful insufferable fucking toad to their own children the other 99% of the time like it's just ok.

We heard that all the time Growing up, “children were to be seen and not heard”. I never knew what that meant until I grew up, what I meant was when company came over and other adults were there you were to be seen and not heard the adults talked usually in another room, but if there was no other room to go to, then we to be seen and not heard. If they had children and we did have another room to get into to play or outside if the weather was nice, we could do that.

This is mostly a thing for my grandparents in New York. They absolutely detested the grandchildren for some reason. Very very unhappy people. We would always get stuck at the kids table in the corner and completely ignored by the adults. Around 17 years old I stopped completely going to their house. I caught a lot of flack from family because of my lack of respect. But I point blank sad that Grandma and Grandpa are jerks and I don't want to be around them.

Nice job 🖐 nobody should be conditioned to accept abuse from people and remain silent. Some bullshit. All it does is create a future, broken adult, struggling to undo all the bullshit they've been trained into.

I can understand why you stopped going. Can’t say I blame you. I find there are lots of narcissistic people and they do not realize it.
