And so to hear this young lady complaining about something and then calling her parents narcissistic. What is narcissistic about wanting to be involved in your children's lives? To want to protect them, to want to make sure they get to and from safely. And you'll know that they're getting theirs to and from safely because you're the one that's doing it. Do you know how many children are being trafficked nowadays?

If her parents made her the center of their world, where they don't even have any friends, and so therefore, they couldn't show her how to have friends, she could have a point. But to blame them for not her not having friends, well, that's because she hasn't made friends. Like the Bible says, to have friends, one must show them so friendly. So maybe she hasn't done that, and maybe she hasn't been taught

And trying to be parents to their children, it's like, like you said, they don't have friends of their own. They don't have interests of their own because they're so focused on trying to live vicariously in some ways through their children. So great points. Thank you so much

Even pregnant people talk about church girls being fast and getting pregnant. I've always said it's because, well, one, you have to hide from your parents that you even want to have sex. They're not going to put you on birth control. And that's certainly every parent's right to do so or not. But some of them are ignorant in how biology works. I can't tell you how many people thought I didn't think I could get pregnant. And they're not

The craziness is, I'm typically not this person who will judge a thing without fully understanding it or giving it a chance. But I don't even give this child a chance. I heard your response to it, and I don't need to listen to such nonsense. I was an active child whose parents were never really supportive. And, man, I envied the kids who, like, I ended up having to get rides with to practices and to shows. And even when

Hey, Tanya, MJ here. I think it's just different for different kids and different folks and different people just in general. I mean, there are parents that are overly involved in their kids lives, and they are narcissistic in the way that they live off of their children's accomplishments. You know, the parents take pride, I guess, in their children's abilities, and depending on your point of view, you know, that's good or bad, however they want to look at it
