Ngl, this post really doesn't send a good message. Is it true for some people? Probably
But my parents pushed me into 3 days of tafe, 2 days of uni, and 2 days of work a week when I was younger. It caused me to crash and burn
It honestly makes people who are already doing a lot feel like they have to do more to make up for what their parents have given up for them, and that's just unhealthy
I had to move away from that mindset, and something like this really wouldn't have helped
My comment is sort of inflammatory for no reason, sorry I made it. Deleting
Damn, just you look at this goomba. Galoomba even.
Not my experience.
