Basically teach them basic things because they act as if they have no lived experiences.
Guide them, support them etc

Yes that’s part of being a good family.
my parents never had the opportunity to learn English. So us kids read the mail. Paid the bills at a young age. We helped with the mortgages. Because we work together to build a good foundation as a family, we are all very successful… in our own as well…. We build our own families.
I wish more people do this with their families.
we don’t do drama.

not really raise, but i helped my dad stay alive as a kid (literally), from 14-17 was the reason he wasn’t homeless, and was like an emotional sponge for a lot of his baggage at times

I had to repair my dad and care for mom from the excessive abuse from my dad. It took till 26 years old to accomplish this. We shot each other, and beat hell from each but I won so we all won.

You see my mom had no male figures in her family after her dad, my grandfather, was murdered. She was 14. She had 4 sisters and no brothers. She and dad divorced 3 times and separated as she ran for her life, oh 2 or 3 hundred times while I and my 2 older sisters grew up. She always went back.

I'm glad you were able to help! It's a lot of responsibility

[Cidknee]

Thank you. Yeah, and it left me with a few things like sometimes I feel the need to yell about it.

[NathanDavis]

nope... they were grown ups

I was a child

They were too immature to learn. I just ignored them and did my own thing.

Hits the mark!
