Same here, that means there either too scared or too loved. Good job either way.
Read the post and am seriously afraid my kids are too scared. 😬 I'd rather the "I hate you" once than that. OTOH, while not the greatest parents, I hope my ex and I somehow made sure that sort of talk was verboten.
I don’t like the word hate being thrown around so I’ve talked about it to them several times. I also don’t want a good job if they’re too scared lol
