[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think this is a real dynamic? Young adults (18-23) with a sense of being wronged. They’re exhausted parents who did everything they could. Lots of resentment bubbling over. [/quote] Okay, so let's say you are working in a restaurant. You work 10-hour days, you go home and study techniques in your off time, you give your job your absolute all. But two weeks in, you're still cooking food that is inedible. Does the fact that you tried hard mean you escape accountability for your bad performance? Obviously, *not* trying hard is worse than trying hard. But even if you're exhausted and doing everything you can, you're still going to make mistakes. That's just a fact of life. And doesn't make you a bad person! But when we mess up, others suffer, and it makes sense to me to take accountability, because these are our loved ones and we care about how they feel. [/quote]
