Having been with my wife since high school, the amount of time between “no fooling around” to “where are my grandchildren” was shockingly short.

Usually those two things are a day apart. The statement has always been: don’t do shit that might get you kids out of wed-lock.
Once you are married, that obviously isn’t an issue.

Is the difference in time between, them having to feed and clothe you and the time at which you’ll be able to feed and clothe your own child.
I want to have grandchildren, but they don’t want to pay for them and raise them.

No fun, only missionary for the purpose of procreation… with the lights off.

My parents: cmon, why won’t you have a beer with us?
Also my parents when I grab a second beer later that night: Jesus fucking Christ you’re an alcoholic

Yeah, sorry mom and dad, you guys aren’t going to be able to keep up with me.

It took me a while but eventually you will break free from the shackles that are your parents. You are your own person and you don’t have base your reality on what your parents told you as a kid.
TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 6 days ago
are you sure about that?
People these days seem to loathe being independent adults. The amount of co-dependency on parents I see in 30 something adults is fucking mind-blowing.

It’s because they can’t afford to get out from under them, or at least can’t do that AND have a decent quality of life. I know a number of people in their 30s who are still living with their parents or are only free of them because they inherited enough to set themselves up in a house. It’s rough out there. Otherwise they are fully functional adults.

That’s typically an economic issue, not a personhood issue. Not that it’s a bad thing to share housing between generations, it should be normalized as it was not long ago.
For us we have three generations under one roof because it works. Everyone pitches in, and having a grandparent around for occasional childcare is a godsend. Eventually we will be the care as they get into advanced age. There was a period of learning to let go of individual cultural hangups, but we all got over it in our own time.
The idea of every couple having their own individual single-family home and kicking kids out the moment they turn 18 is not just cruel, it’s completely unsustainable.

Yeah, pisses me off they made me waste my young years thinking this. If only we could reset. Oh well, I still got time.

My parent is also raised me to avoid alcohol, partying, and sex. Which is why I moved out at 17 and started living on my own terms. And I will absolutely never respect anyone who stays at home for money when their parents impose rules on them. If you’re an adult and your parents still phrase things in the imperative when they speak to you, you’re not actually an adult.

They do that knowing you’re not going to listen to them anyways typically.

I figured you were being economical to match the slave wages in this market.

I abstain from alcohol and tabaco, but sex is just too nice to abstain from.
Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 4 days ago
My parents taught me not to do those things either but I did all of them. Even became an alcoholic which I denied until my 40’s, not ideal, parents aren’t wrong, teenage you will do what ever

“Dad, can I go to a party with my friends?”
“You gonna drink?”
“No.”
“Do drugs?”
“No.”
“Have sex?”
“No.”
“Then why the fuck do you wanna go to a party?”

What’s the point of partying if not to poison your brain and infect your genitals.
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 6 days ago
This is why we invented condoms.
The other two are a lot more difficult to do without damage or risk

Why do people seem unable to comprehend just enjoying being around friends?
And no, this isn’t a dig on introverts. It’s a dig on the older generations that seem to hate their spouses and can’t be around other people while sober

Drinking, in particular, is a proven way to relieve anxiety around strangers. So, when you’re at a party with people you don’t know, and you don’t want to feel nervous about it, you drink a beer or do a shot or whatever. Being in a crowded room, talking to people you don’t know, maybe even singing and dancing with them all come more easily after that. Liquor is often described as a “social lubricant” for this reason.
Harder drugs can be even more potent.
The sex kinda follows logically from there. Especially when it’s a room full of young, good looking, horny people.

There’s a certain type who thinks it’s a big adult flex to act exhausted by work, being annoyed with their family, and getting drunk to drown their self-inflicted sorrows. They’ve always been pathetic. I think (hope) it’s a dinosaur that’s slowly going extinct.
