I agree with everything except number 2. If you listen to the radio when you study, background noise apparently does not distract you. Just go into another room to study. What do you expect your parents to do while you are studying?
1- Agreed 2- you could just make them do their lesson in another place... 3- Agreed 4- Agreed 5- They need to learn it, he will not always win, and he need to be prepared for this... 6- Agreed
This is our POV, Ever tried to look from their POV? Both are right at their places. I just can't say that they are wrong. Yeah, these things do irritate us but what is the guarantee that we wouldn't do the same things if we were in their place?
Failure is okay. If everybody always succeeded in the past, they wouldn't know how to accept failure in the future. How else can they learn. Even all the great chess players failed in their early career.
I disagree with the failure one. Not everyone can succeed even if they try their best and that's ok. It's not making failure ok, it's making trying ok.
Every parent wants at least one of their children to be successful, but, the overwhelming majority of people are depressingly ordinary, the odds of one of your children being a bit out of the ordinary are pretty remote, odds are they'll lead shity misseriable lives, doing shity misseriable jobs for minimum wage, they'll get pregnant, have misseriable marriages, their kids'll grow up and work in Walmart for minimum wage and have shity misseriable lives, what's the point, why don't we all get ourselfs steralized and let the human race go extinct? Only a vanishingly small percentage of people have enough money to make life worth living, it's statistically unlikely one of my children will be lucky, so why bother, what's the point?
I mostly agree with these. ESPECIALLY smoking in front of them. Everyone knows it's bad for you m, why subject your kids To it? That just pure selfishness.

I agree with #1, 3, 5 (as long as it doesn't demolish self-esteem) and definitely #6 - I saw this a lot as a school teacher. It's shocking how many parents make excuses for horrible behavior... It's always the fault of other kids and/or faculty/staff...
When I was a kid teachers used to beat children if they misbehaved, I got hit in the head for playing a wrong note on the recorder, now it's illegal for teachers to hit children, how the hell do you controls children if you're not allowed to hit them?
Amen. Just #5--failure is okay as long as the kid learns from it. Failure isn't something to be ashamed of. In fact it shapes us to be our best selves.
I think the first one is very important. Parents don't understand the kind of impact that has on children.

Agree with everything! Arguing in front of the kids is a HUGE no no for me. I grew up to my parents arguing and can't stand when people argue it gives me bad anxiety.

Maybe back then, but you'd have to be surrounded by a lot of smoke to get effected. I would know due to my father smoking a lot.
To be honest,
I hated when my parents argued it felt like the world was going to end, but. ...
I loved seeing other people's parents fight, it was so satisfying...
Huh what
Um #1..

Tell #5 to Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and countless others
they do the first one a lot an even i am old enough it always makes me cry seeing them yelling each other
Also they should never lie to them !! Not even while making jokes !!
damn u must have some fuked parents if they are doing this to you.
100% agree. My parents did all of these while I was growing up and it got on my last nerve.
Failure is okay, if you learn from it.
I agree with all of the above- great MyTake
