My mom has a key to my house. She tried to come by and see me the other day. When I didn't answer the door she used her key. I was passed out drunk on the living room floor in my underwear. I got a long email about how if I need help she will be there for me.

congrats on having a job you feel good about but you gotta let go of having your parents approval

its something your parents held over you as a kid to control you, keep you safe, raise you to respect certain rules and norms of society but once you become an adult capable of forming your own judgments you need to get out of that and into looking within and to yourself for satisfaction and approval

>he doesnt care about his parents approval
M8, they housed me for a rocky 18 years, and paid for 5 years of college out of pocket. I owe them shit.
Furthermore, I've lived just fine without their approval for years. If they never cared about my service industry job, it would never have affected me in the slightest. But it feels ~good~ that a person I've known for 23 years thinks I'm doing a good job. I dont base my life on that approval, but it's nice to have.

One time I woke up in a coffin, and when my family saw me stirring they hurriedly starting filling the grave in shouting things like "don't worry, we love you know matter what." But I climbed out before I was totally covered and went home to get another drink. I'm a real fucking shit of a fuckshit fucker.

Reading stuff like this is so strange for me.
Those classic family moment tropes always have been foreign for me.
I used to think it only happened on television but then when I started going to school I realized that families like that are actually pretty common.

Anyone else /singleparentsurvivalmodechildhood/ here?

They brought you into the world, housing you and raising you for 18 years wasn't a favor but a responsiblity they created for themselves out of a moment of passion.

No but we feel a strong bond in my family even if we never explicitly express how we feel in these relatively cheesy ways. Nothing wrong with it but it has a bit of "dramatic american" stamp in our circles. No offense intended. Instead we usually meet up somewhat often over birthdays and holidays to keep contact in the extended family.

He's right tho. Parents usually have kids for selfish reasons, not much different than having a pet, then they act like their children should be thankful to them for some reason

Similar story for me. I got out of the Army and went into the Bar Industry, after 10 years I had made a name for myself in the Cocktail world, was making great upper-middle class money, and was sought out by brands and bars all over the world for consultations. But my parents still thought working in Bars was a dead end job for failures and college kids. They're not Cocktail people at all, in their mind a bar is a seedy wood-grained dive with miller lite on draft.

My Dad was in the city I worked in on. Business and asked to stop by, his client had heard of my joint and wanted to check it out. So they come in and get the royal treatment for 3 hours.

My Dad pulled me aside later and told me that I was very good at my job and that he was sorry for not understanding for so many years. Maximum feels.

Now every get-together he has me teach him new cocktails to make, and brags about me to people. Parental Approval is a wicked good feeling.
