like just because your 22 year old can’t take care of herself doesn’t mean you have to be a helicopter over me. i know how to protect myself well enough, i know how to schedule appointments and ask about what i need, you don’t need to micromanage everything about my life just because you need to with your older daughter. i actually left home for college and was able to develop these skills for myself but you don’t care to acknowledge that do you? you treat me like i’m still 16 and since i know-

Never understand why parents compare their kids so much. Sure they were raised in the same household by the same parents but people are so complex they might as well have grown up across the world from each other by the time they’re adults. What works for one kid might not for another. If the older kid starts acting up doesn’t mean the younger one is wired the same and will eventually follow their footsteps

you get mad at me when i try to act my age, i’ll just act like im 16. you know i can take care of myself so why can’t you treat me like the 20 year old i am? why can’t i go out without a curfew when im a fucking adult dude? i can’t wait to go back to college and be able to live my life again.

it’s literally always been like this. i’ve always been ready for those milestones, but i had to wait to get my license, despite being 16 and wanting it, because my sister hadn’t gotten hers yet and my mom didn’t want her to feel bad because her younger sister was surpassing her, like it’s not about competition i genuinely just want to be able to take care of myself.
