When you're a kid, you don't realize you're also watching your mom and dad grow up.

Great observation. I always wondered how it was so easy for my parents until I realized no, it wasn’t. I always felt that if the house were to burn down I would be safe. Never thought twice about it, totally took them for granted.

I’d like to think that’s what good parents do though, make the kids feel safe and protected. Hopefully it means yours were good ones :)

Edit: “good parents” not “foods parents” dyac!

Excellent, I’m definitely fortunate. We didn’t have extra $$ but it never mattered much.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
