I've met some VERY selfish parents who act that way! They just constantly want their kids out of their hair 24/7. It's even worse when those kids enter their teenage years and you witness how spoiled they've become.

Well, there's more than one way to be a bad parent.
Lol... did I take your original post out of context?
Perhaps.
My bad. It's very interesting reading through this thread, though. It's always fascinating to hear about everyone's unique experiences with parenting. My mom was never a career mom in the context you meant. She just worked some part-time job at a local food store while my dad brought home 98% of all the bacon. Still, she only worked for like 10 or 12 hours a week, sometimes less, while the rest of her time was spent caring for my sister and I. So, I guess you could say that she was a "career mom"😅. Also, as someone who grew up with a workaholic dad, I have to say that career dads can be just as bad. Believe me, i did not like being a "substitute father" after my sister was born.
Working alone doesn't make you a career woman. It's a mindest.
Guess I'm translating from the German "Karrierefrau".
I wasn't trying to say that it does. That's true.
Ngl, at times, it can be kind of difficult for me to tell if your being sarcastic or are legit annoyed in your posts😅🫡. Lol🫣I initially thought your original post was just a sarcastic rant about being stuck at home too often.
There are plenty
The "be seen not heard" mentality I've always found the most crass. Quiet and respectful is good. But if they don't learn how to talk around adults, they won't know how to talk as an adult. You're so right about the spoiled teens that never learned they need to earn respect, not entitled to it.
"But if they don't learn how to talk around adults, they won't know how to talk as an adult."
True. I'm currently going through a somewhat similar, yet far less severe, situation with my daughter. She has a bad habit of correcting people, so most others, obviously, think she's just being rude🤷. She's beginning to listen more, though. She just "can't stand how stupid people can be", to which I always tell her to learn to tolerate it. I've also told her before that even the most intelligent people say and do stupid things from time to time and that she's no exception.

When it comes to kids like this, you can say the word no to them once and they act like you've committed a federal crime against them🤣.
