A bunch of hail just came down and one of our ducks that was free ranging decided to just sit there and eat whatever fell on the ground. I'm honestly confused on why she did this

I’ve been once when younger, it was fun but not something I’d do again in my 40s lol

My MIL disowned my husband (and me too) because we...

bought a puppy from a breeder. Instead of adopting from a shelter.

Sometimes parents want you to be happy and "think for yourself" until you think differently from them. Yes, us buying a puppy (from a good breeder, not a puppy mill, and we really loved the breed) was enough to make her never talk to us again.

SMH.

I never had kids, but I would have accepted and loved them for who they were.

Wow. As someone who HEAVILY advocates for the responsible (dog) breeding community, this is so strange and infuriating. On a different note, it truly frustrates me to see parents "love" their children, when in reality they only love them for as long as they are and behave the exacts same way they imagined it in their heads and dreams. Like it really makes me think, why were they parents in the first place, were they parents only because they wanted their child to accomplish the dreams they couldn't?

Until you're a parent yourself, take care in your criticism.
I learned a lot about my parents once I became one myself.
Am still learning as I age and my remaining child ages.

I'm not a parent after all, I might have been too judgey/rough, I can't deny that raising kids is hard. So sorry if I offended anyone. I still think that if the comes out to the parents, and the reaction is getting kicked out, then I don't think that's love. I totally understand not liking how things turn out, and needing time to process this, but kicking a child out is a totally different thing. If it wasn't clear, this is in no way shape or form a personal attack, but rather a general comment. Again, I'm not a parent, and i totally get how hard parenting can be, but I just can't see how kicking children out is beneficial for anyone

Sure, but the problem isnt imperfect parents, or parents who are still improving

the problem is when parents give up on their kids or turn against them the second they don't turn out "right" (ie. Gay). To the point of kicking them out because of simply who they are and who they love

Of course those people can learn better, I'd happily help educate them, and once they do better, I'll respect them.

But I'll be pretty harsh in my criticism when parents are blatantly abusing their kids, emotionally or otherwise, I don't need to be a parent to feel that way

Idk if that was rude, hopefully that wasn't rude. Truthfully it's gone 2am here and I'm having a massive breakdown so Idrk, but that's how I feel.
