> Parents and kids are much less adversarial than they once seemed to be. [...] Add in both increased societal acceptance of certain activities (sex, drugs, and drinking) as well as enormous reductions in those activities among teenagers Not my experience, not what I see in my family and not what I see in neighbors' kids either. Every single parent I associate with has a kid that has weaponized CPS or other false abuse claims to keep parents in check. I've even been duped into calling them myself. Now when the neighbor's kid takes a domestic dispute into the street, I know what game he's playing. They're also fragmenting their families with "___ makes me uncomfortable" verbiage that vaguely alludes to molestation or other crimes that they never seem willing to expand on when pressed. I swear this is a shared playbook or something (Casey Anthony? Freddy Got Fingered?); everybody started doing it all at once. "You're not respecting my feelings" is another popular guilt tactic they exploit on gullible parents. Your feelings never matter quite as much as theirs though. Textbook example of mini-spouse syndrome. Thankfully people started seeing through the "give me $40k for a sex change or I'll kill myself" hostage-taking ruse, especially when they didn't follow through after fundraising. Some turn to just killing their parents to inherit early and avoid accountability. But "they say this never happens." Hard to be much of a parent when you constantly have therapists, social workers and idiot grandparents hounding you about why you did ___ to smol babby Uwu. The best part of course is getting fed up and kicking them out...once they moan about that on social media and blast the rest of the family, now you're even more of a villain. Every kid is an oppressed LGBT these days...a free mob comes with every membership. It's real easy to get along with people once you've crybullied or humiliated them into submission.
