sometimes i doubt my parenting and worry I'll become my parents
but then i remember my kid said with full confidence and with no fear of being reprimanded for being disrespectful
"you need to apologize to me"
and i just 🫂🥺 i was so proud of them. yes bb speak up for yourself!!! express your needs!! 🥹🖤
(context they were in my blind spot and I'd accidentally bumped them w my elbow and i was like "oh shit dude, I didn't see you. are you okay???" but forgot to say sorry)
(i woulda gotten my ass beat for being disrespectful. i can count on one hand the amount of times my parents apologized to me)
