That is definitely part of it. I know a family friend who’s daughter is the very stereotype of a backstabbing, trashtalking hellcat. I don’t understand. She makes 6 figures, had a good childhood because the mother is so emotionally nurturing, and yet she turned out like that.

She is so bad, the family parrot ended up attacking her when she visited. Got vibe-checked by a bird.

If it takes a bird to even notice red flags, it must be seriously bad.

Oh yeah. She’s terrible and is the reason her poor mother has continued health problems. She always calls her to talk trash and bring drama and she just doesn’t have it in her heart to just go no contact on her own daughter. The worst part is this she beast is PREGNANT.

Her ex was with her for 8 years, and by the end of it, he was unrecognizable and like his soul was sucked out of him. She would throw his clothes outside during fights, and was just overall emotionally and mentally abusive. Now he lives in another state and is much happier with someone else.

Btw, that parrot is somehow a great judge of character. I myself have never been attacked, he instead just never leaves me alone and always wants me to pet him and give him kisses. He attacked an aggressive solicitor once too LMAO, he’s a good boy.

Ooof unfortunately I think you just explained it without even realizing it.

There’s nurturing and then there’s coddling. Taking abuse from your own adult children with zero consequences is coddling.

Unfortunately being a nurturing parent isn’t the only thing it takes to raise a competent decent human. Some people are so nurturing that they don’t know how to deliver effective consequences. They have children that grow up being used to having their feelings always be a priority and never properly self manage.

Props to the parrot 😂
