"I'll Be Like My Parents" · Generational-trauma
You said one thing your mother said and panicked for a week. We both know it.
"I'm Not Enough For Them" · Almost-enough mode
Every other parent looks like they got the manual. You're winging it.
"Good Parents Don't…" · Look-perfect mode
You parent one way at home and another at the playground. The kid clocks both.
"If I Rest, I'm Failing" · Always-on mode
A weekend off makes you anxious. The bath is now a court case in your head.
"They'll Resent Me" · Future-bill mode

"I Should Know This Already" · Incognito-tab parent
You google 'is this normal' at 2am and clear your history. We see you.
