>>291391>aren't most parents like that though?no, most parents care about their kids and whether they do well in life. i had parents that didn't give a shit but would always take credit for anything i did accomplish. anytime i went over to other people's houses, i was surprised their parents knew things about their life and would take an active interesting in whatever they were doing, like what was happening in school, who their friends were, their hobbies and interests. it was mindblowing that parents would take interest in their lives while my parents just let me rot in my room watching cartoons all day. at the very least, most parents will remind their kids to do things, take care of their hygiene, eat on time, sleep on time, do their homework, help them learn to drive (just having someone sit there with you while you practice and give feedback is major advantage for the practical part at least). i think i asked my mom twice in my life to help me with homework and i quickly learned that i can't rely on her for anything. if i didn't do my assignments, i'd have to deal with the embarrassment of the teacher scolding me so i would always do the bare minimum.
anyway, i'm in a similar boat, no job, dropped out of school, zero life experience, no drivers license, long list of mental illnesses and personality defects. mother expects me to wake up any day now and get married and be successful so she can take credit for raising a good son. its not gonna happen lol
