If your parent wasn’t your parent, would they be your friend? I find it really difficult to be around both my mum and dad (separated.) They annoy me. I can’t work out if this is universal amongst adult children or if some people genuinely like their parents.
My history with my parents is complicated so I won’t go into it, but I do worry one day my kids won’t like me too. Or is this just characteristic of a complicated childhood? Do you like your parents?!
YABU - I like who my parent/s are as people (whilst maybe finding them annoying sometimes)
YANBU - I do not like who my parents are as people and wouldn’t choose them as a friend.
