I sometimes imagine what my life would be like if I had parents who were less strict on me, since I feel jealous of people whose parents are less strict that mine.

How old are you? My parents were also what I would consider “strict” when I was growing up, but as an adult, I realize that it was them teaching me how to conduct myself and be a functional adult that respects others and myself. I often found that the friends I envied who had less strict parents didn’t have as much parental support and encouragement as I did.
maybe.
I should have listened to them more and I shouldn’t have been such a dumbass.
As a mom, I understand craving an upbringing with less restrictions. But (oh) think about this, what might have your life been like today, had you parents pushed ya to be more disciplined? What might be y’all missing out on, hmm?
All the time. My dad allegedly abused my mom and she threw him out, and kept my siblings and I. My dad treated me well and I was like 3 so I was devastated when he left she told me. Ever since then I have been her punching bag. She has treated me like garbage at every turn and every time I needed support or an adult, she intentionally dropped the ball. She physically and psychologically abused me.
I have often wondered how I would have turned out if I’d gone with my dad. He never reached out again so he wasn’t much better than her. He left me to the abuse.
I used to growing up. Felt like my life would’ve been better off with more attentive parents. A mom that would’ve allowed me to skip a grade and cared more about my future than pleasing my older sister.
I used to. I try not to because I think it’s unhealthy to obsess about.
