[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young adults today want an apology from their parents.

Their parents want a "thank you."

I don't want an apology.  I just want my parents to treat me in a reasonable fashion now, as an adult.  I'm willing to let the past go, but I can't maintain a relationship where they continuously spew green slime at me.[/quote]

I agree. I don't want an apology either. I thought my childhood was normal. Once I was a teen and a young adult I realized there were abnormalities (never acknowledged, of course). Finally, once I became a parent myself, it all became unbearable. Pompous, arrogant, control freaks, constantly trying to stick their nose, nasty, critical, self-absorbed. Literally never figured out that I grew up and am an adult now, who cannot just be forced to do what they want. And the fact that I have my own family and children now went completely over their head. As a PP said, it's like we're their accessories. The final nail in the coffin was observing what s*tty grandparents they make. Honestly, if they'd died when I was a young adult or before that, I'd probably have some good memories of them... now it's all gone out of the window. [/quote]
