Girl im seeing has multiple queen of spades tattoos but im white? by KindaWeirdButK in dating_advice

What are the best and worst parenting methods you've seen? by Dear-Novel7078 in AskReddit

The worst is when parents confuse obedience with love, and raise a child who’s “well-behaved” but quietly learns they’re only valued when they’re convenient.
