I love witnessing the cognitive dissonance of people who think their families are crazy when they’re extremely unremarkable. I know it’s not a competition and that every family is crazy in their own unique way, but you know precisely the type of person I’m talking about. I’m mostly talking about your friend from your teenage years who would call her mom insane to her face when all you saw was a perfectly lovely lady. Kids who yelled at their parents in front of their friends never ceased to astound me. They had no shame at all, and it was fascinating to see someone behave in a way you could never get away with and watch them face absolutely no consequences for it. Fake «crazy mom» havers get real scared when someone with a really harrowing family history shows up. If you have accepted that your family is probably pretty standard and you want to feel better about who you’re related to in comparison to others, these parenting texts might be just the thing for you.
