It’s crazy to me that people actually tell their parents everything? I keep mine at arms length. I think we briefly talk once a week or less

My mom asks too many questions and if I don’t give a specific enough answer she gets mad and it drives me nuts

I have one of each. I call my mom at any inconvenience but I have a once a week 15 minute phone call with my father and hope a joint takes away whatever damage he tries to cause.

there was a point in my life where I did tell my mom lots of things but as I grow up (im 18 now) I realize that its best to keep things private for my own sake.

I talk to mine maybe once a year unless there’s a death. it’s my dad typically, last time was 3 yrs between calls with my mom. They proved when I opened up that they didn’t want to hear anything so that’s the energy I give back now to protect my peace

Dont judge, shame, or guilt your kids. Keep to boundaries aka no emotional incest/treating your child like a therapist. And lastly dont join the trump cult
