[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are 50, you should not dwell on some past childhood issues. For most of us who are 50, parents coming to events was not a thing.[/quote]

Are you daft? Most women at that time did not work outside the home, so not only was parents coming to school events “a thing,” it was a big thing, and the mothers were very involved.

Also, OP, it is very normal for you to experience things that make you think of childhood and ruminate. That is totally normal. I highly recommend talking to a therapist, and exploring the book “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.” I’m sorry that your mother let you down, and I’m sorry your father did, too.

another proof that many Americans can't envision different cultures. In Europe in the 70 and 80 moms worked and parents came to nothing. And yes, in most of Europe that was the case.[/quote]

Yes, and? The vast majority of us are Americans talking about American culture today, and American culture when we were children. The OP is talking about a specific set of circumstances. Your anecdata and WhataboutEuropean means nothing and impresses exactly no one in the context of this thread. [/quote]
