Exploring Generational Parenting Beliefs and Mother-Son Relationship Dynamics
The older generations believed that the feeling of shame in parenting was reserved for bad parents. However, the current generation of parents, including the speaker, are constantly aware of their actions and the impact on their children's future feelings. This heightened awareness can lead to feeling unprepared and guarded when facing parenting challenges. The speaker contrasts their expanded definition of good parenting with their mother's belief, acknowledging her strengths as a parent but also experiencing a disconnect in their relationship. The speaker's attempt to connect with their mother by choosing a similar career path backfired, as they discovered differences in their styles and worldview, leading to further emotional distance despite the initial intention of getting closer.
