[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adult children who feel entitled to a perfect childhood probably feel entitled to a perfect adulthood, complete with the perfect partner, perfect job, perfect home, perfect children, etc. When things fall short, they get disappointed and angry, they point fingers at parents, partners, bosses, etc. They divorce, quit jobs, overspend, get disappointed, rinse and repeat.[/quote]

Maybe there are some entitled people like that, but just have to tell you, that is not what I have seen. I know many, MANY, adult children who were traumatized and abused and who suffer,  and sometimes (not always) play that out as broken marriages, abuse of their own kids. So maybe the problem is trauma and not masses of entitled people? I know that does not fit the narrative that absolves you of not having provided a "perfect" childhood for your kids ( I assume what you provided was on another planet from perfect.)[/quote]

Everyone on the planet is dealt a different hand, different parents, different circumstances. Everyone needs to make the best of it, not focus on what you  wanted vs what you got. We all should strive not blame. What's the point.
