There is no such thing as a “perfect” parent. There are only parents who do their best to help their children grow and develop as people. Redditor u/TrumatizedKid12021, the author of this post, pointed out that she doesn’t consider herself a “perfect” mother at all.
She detailed how she felt her grown daughter had no job, hadn’t studied anything, and blamed her parents for her “trauma”. , it is difficult to draw conclusions about the extent to which the daughter is traumatized.
However, looking only at the information her mother presented, it seems that she may be attributing the cause of her “trauma” to circumstances that appear not to be traumatic at all. noted that the daughter could possibly benefit from receiving treatment. Family counseling can be very beneficial in these situations. Everyone can get on the same page and start figuring out what’s really going on here.

As I wrote in Bored Panda most recently, one of the antidotes to growing entitlements is lots of play and socializing with children your own age.

You start to understand what it’s worth.
The Internet and all the high-tech devices we use in our daily lives are certainly pervasive. It is our responsibility to prevent them from taking our lives and our children’s lives. However, telling kids they can’t be online is a difficult task to tackle.Dr. Liz Donner explained bored panda before that find a replacement for screen time can be a problem.
“Screens are very engaging and can keep children entertained for hours while parents are busy doing other things. Many parents find screens harmless to their children’s developing brain. Or, I feel it’s even educational, so I’m allowing them to manage freely,” she said.
“Limiting screen time increases the amount of valuable real-life skill development. Children need real-world human interaction to improve their social skills and motor development. “We need to learn to understand human facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, and inter-communication skills,” said Dr. Donner.
“Screen-free interactions with children don’t have to be flashy. Reading to children as early as 6 months of age has been shown to improve later language and reading skills.” Hands-on playtime teaches them social interaction and motor skills that are essential for healthy development. We found the percentage to be lower.”
