There’s definitely merit to “it’s their first time being parents” parenting is really hard and just because you were a child to parents before doesn’t give you experience parenting. Same as being a student in school doesn’t give you explicit knowledge on how to teach a classroom, you have to learn by doing and that takes time.

fr there’s a big difference between figuring parenting out on your own and straight up emotional abuse and manipulation or neglect

Them being parents for the first time does not excuse abuse and neglect

Way to go to the extreme. Abuse and neglect hasn’t been mentioned once in this thread

That’s when people use that phrasing. When they do something harmful. Or when the kids go no contact. It’s always “well they’re your parent!” “Well they’ve never been a parent before!” “Well they learn from their mistakes!” No. If you don’t have patience, if you have a bad temper, etc, if you can’t be a good parent, don’t fucking have kids. It’s a choice.
