My mom said “Waiting for someone to act correctly is a disrespect to yourself. You’re compromising your worth just because someone can’t fully afford it.” And I just... whew.
The worst part of your 20’s is the uncertainty of things. Knowing you want to be successful but not knowing exactly what path to take to get you there. It’s very overwhelming.
One of my friends is in med school & her parents take such good care of her. Rent? Paid. Hair, nails+any self maintenance? Done. Little trips for her mental health? Booked. I love it bc that’s how you parent. Why you trying to make your kids “get it out the mud” when you got it??
