IS IT OKAY FOR KIDS TO REMIND PARENTS OF THEIR PREVIOUS MISGIVINGS?
Misgivings committed when they were young? Particularly when it's in defense of their present criminal or immoral wrongdoings? I don't think so!!
If they're good, 'normal' parents, they have learned from their mistakes.
If they don't pass their hard-earned knowledge to their children, they'd be letting them down by not correcting them. When they make that step to their kids, it's in the hopes of the parents that, once the child does it anyway and suffers the consequences, they remember they were warned and make it a point to not do it again.
Being reminded we all make mistakes as well, does not exonerate the child from suffering verbal punishment.
Of course we all made mistakes, and many of us have that memory load to bear. But if you want a parent to write you off and excommunicate you from their life, just keep reminding them of the bad stuff from the past, (Which in my case was grossly distorted anyway) instead of recognizing the fact the parent is doing their level best to make up for it since, by trying to raise you properly.
Two wrongs never make it right, no matter how you look at it! Accusing the parent of past deeds (that may not be true) you heard from someone else, when you're obviously wrong now, is only for the selfish purpose of being able to do it again with the hope of not suffering the consequences.
Just look at how our present Administration uses it as an excuse for their tremendous mistakes, one after the other since they've been in office. Have they admitted to it being wrong, or do they just keep reminding us of the mistakes in the past of other Administrations? Their mistake is in thinking two wrongs make it right, so there's no need to change.
I guess they're still in their learning stage as well. However there seems to be a delay in their Metamorphosis process. Just sayin'.
