you know a lot of you parents, you boomers, your gen X, y'all are not going to want to hear this, but you know what, baby, it needs to be said. Your parents be having the nerve, the audacity to get pissed at your children from talking to you disrespectfully when all that you talk to them was with disrespect. You raised your voice as your children, you cursed at them, you yelled at them, you scolded them for every single small trivial little thing that they did, where to a point where they were afraid to even breathe wrong in that household because they was afraid of what she was going to do because you could not regulate your emotions, because you do not have emotional maturity. I'm sorry, but your age does not define your maturity, and because if it did, you would not be 60-something years old, 50-something years old, acting the way that you act, 70-something years old, acting the way that you act. Oh, but age defines maturity? No, age just gives you more years on your life. That is it.

Sometimes your children be having more sense than you. They'd be more mature than you are, but y'all don't want to hear that because y'all too [ __ ] prideful. Let me tell y'all something. Y'all talk about honor thy mother and thy father, but let's continue on with that scripture. But do not provoke your children to wrath. Do not provoke, push a button your children, your offspring to wrath, which is anger. Don't provoke your children. Don't push your children's buttons. Don't purposely hurt your children, pick at them, belittle them, put them down to make them angry. That's what you're not supposed to do because that is not of love. That is not of love. That is of hatred. Whenever God wants to get in on us and tell us what we doing wrong, God always brings it to us in a loving way. Like my son, my daughter, like you know this, this was wrong because of this, but this is what you should have done instead. Addresses the problem, but always offers a solution. You all never did that. You

all just discussed the problem, but you never gave a solution. You scolded us for messing up but didn't tell us why we messed up. You just mad that we messed up, but you didn't give us a solution. It's why children are just so [__] traumatized, and they people please because they are so afraid of hurting other people that cannot regulate their emotions. Just because you had a bad day at work, leave that [__] at work. Don't come home and bring these problems to your children's home. They don't know what the [__] is going on. They just want to see mommy and daddy, right? And then y'all talk to your children crazy. You pin them against each other. You play favorites, and then you wonder why your children fighting like they people off the street. You talk to your children crazy and belittle them, and then you get mad. This is how you're teaching children to talk to people, and it's exactly how they

start talking to you because they're gonna start retaliating and start lashing back out. Y'all don't even realize that you were your child's first teacher, and you taught them wrong, which is exactly why they carry that into their adulthood, and it's staring you back at the face. You don't like that, dude. You don't like what it feels, but that's exactly what you did. So, start taking accountability and start self-reflecting on the thing that you actually done did before your children clearly cut you off for the rest of your life. You don't want that, do you?

The Impact of Parenting Styles on Children

Parents often disrespect their children, leading to a cycle of fear and emotional instability.

Age does not equate to emotional maturity, and sometimes children display more maturity than their parents.

The scripture emphasizes the importance of not provoking children to anger, highlighting the need for loving and constructive guidance.

The Impact of Parental Behavior on Children

Parents often focus on scolding for mistakes without providing solutions, leading to children's trauma and people-pleasing behavior.

Bringing work-related stress home and treating children unfairly can create conflict and emotional turmoil.

This negative interaction teaches children to communicate poorly and can lead to them replicating harmful behaviors.

The Impact of Parenting on Adult Children

Parents often fail to realize their role as their child's first teacher, leading to negative behaviors that carry into adulthood.

This cycle can result in strained relationships, with children potentially cutting off contact.

Taking accountability and self-reflecting on parenting choices is crucial to avoid long-term consequences.
