Kids need to face disappointment and adversity in increasing levels before they reach adult age and have to face real problems in the real world. It creates real-life, useful coping skills. If they don't you tend to get fragile, unsure, young adults that crumble when thing don't go their....well, you get millennials. Yea one of the tough love lesson i try to pass on to my kids is that "you are nobody special, if you was respect and or notoriety you need to earn it on your own" Ive been told by others that i'm going to give my kid a complex by telling them that they aren't special. I do tell them they are special to us just not to the world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need parents. I think my # 1 job as a parent is to raise capable, well adjusted, young adults. Life lessons, tough love, dealing with disappointment is all part of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course I'm the asshole in the situation because I'm trying to tell her how to do things so she doesn't fail. She'll figure it out I guess. Ive done what I can.

I don't think either of your kids are quite at the age where they start realizing their parents were right..... about everything. When that day comes, they will be eating humble pie until they work up the courage to pick up the phone or come see you in person to tell you "you were right...... about everything." I had that moment, I think most kids raised right do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
