Omo.... It's quite a pity what parental upbringing is being turned into nowadays.

Barely 5 hours ago, I saw a video on tiktok about a young woman lamenting on the so-called gentle parenting and her bitter experience with it, which is quite similar to what you shared.

And that line of "that's just how they do" seems to be the rehearsed words by most parents in situations where they ought to caution their kids. So disappointing.
