Questions: Family & Friends

and in what WAYS do you feel like they influenced you

tbh i never really had one

Growing up, our parents' rules often felt like a huge drag. Whether it was an early bedtime, having screen time limited, or being forced to clean your room every weekend, we all figured our parents were just trying to ruin our fun. But looking back now that we're older, some of those annoying rules actually taught us habits we totally need today.

For example, getting forced to log off screens or having phones banned at the dinner table felt super annoying back then. But now as an adult, realizing how much late-night scrolling ruins your sleep or how nice it is to actually talk face-to-face without a phone buzzing makes you look back and see the point.

Another big one is having to do chores or save your own money from gifts or jobs. Hating it when you're younger is a given, but having the discipline to keep your space clean and manage your cash is a total lifesaver now.

What about you guys? What was a rule your parents made that you really disliked growing up, but now completely appreciate?

If you have kids or you plan to, are you using or are yoi going to use the same rules your parent gave you? or would give new and different rules?
