It seems that a lot has changed in the process of raising a kid in the past few decades. The things we were all taught by our parents were not always the correct ones, and some people were actually aware of that when they experienced it firsthand. Such people are usually determined to never teach their kids the same things they were taught back in the day. The list below shows some of the best such things shared on Reddit.
1. The guilt trips
Here is something that we believe was never as effective as the people who used it thought it actually was.
2. The opinion
We can easily agree with this opinion because it has all the valid arguments we wanted to hear.
3. The fear
It seems that this is one of the things that every parent needs to learn, as it is a valuable lesson.
4. The feelings
Having your kids be brave enough to express their feelings and share them with you is a parenting success.
5. The insults
Well, it appears that there might be some truth to this but we still think that insults are not right.
6. The side
When there is a problem or a dispute, everyone should be allowed to state their point of view.
7. The VHS
Now, this is one of the things that nobody would surely feel the need to teach their kids today – nobody uses VHS tapes now.
8. The comparisons
This is something most of us know how it feels and we all know that it is very wrong. Nobody should do that.
9. The careers
There are parents who still think that no other career would be profitable or prestigious but this is not the truth.
10. The stress
Nobody could avoid this and the only thing to teach your kids is to be able to handle stress in the correct way.
11. The bodies
There are people who try to scold their kids for being obese but the truth is nobody should strive to be perfect all the time.
12. The teachers
Teachers are not always right and this is something that kids must understand at an early age.
13. The correlation
People should never teach their kids that they must admit others are wrong because they are older.
14. The silence
Everyone should tell their kids to stand up for themselves when others try to do something wrong to them.
15. The questioning
It seems that most kids would keep silent if they must question elders’ authority but they should do it if they are right.
16. The tomboy
There are people who still try to determine their kids’ style but they should just let them do their thing.
17. The arguments
There are moments when you should let your kids defend their point of view in an argument.
18. The matters
Here is yet another thing that should be understood by everyone who raises kids or wants to have offspring.
19. The habits
Some people were raised with bad financial habits but they need to teach other things to their own kids.
20. The support
It is true that kids need support sometimes but being over supportive is not okay when raising a child.
21. The emotions
Trying to explain your own lack of self-control with your kids’ behavior is simply not the right thing to do.
22. The lesson
This was something that many girls have heard before but we believe that it is a bad lesson to teach a kid.
23. The tantrums
None of this sounds like a good idea – parents need to behave like grownups and as kids.
24. The father
There are no arguments one could have against this post – it shows one thing that should not happen.
25. The anxiety
This is one of the worst things that have happened to most of us. These are real problems that should be recognized.
26. The college
Here is yet another piece of advice that is limiting and is definitely not true. College does not equal wealth.
27. The perfectionists
We guess that nobody should ask for complete perfection from any of their kids. Nobody could be perfect all the time.
28. The bugs
Well, this is something unusual to see and we are not entirely sure why would a father tell this to their kids.
29. The lessons
There are moments when parents are just not right and they make their kids believe they still hold the correct opinion.
30. The kiss
This is by far one of the most uncomfortable things we were made to do and we would never tell our kids to do this.
31. The money
This is another of the types of advice that should become obsolete. Kids should know the value of money.
32. The punishment
This is not a common thing but we are sure that if it happens, it is wrong.
33. The start
This is how the thread started and we guess it went viral for a reason.
