2024-03-19 "What a novel kind of "abuse" [長年日記]

I heard of a mother who would not allow her college-aged daughter to use a cooking knife.

The reason is 'because it is dangerous.

Well, of course, she never learned to cook, and she became an adult, and the maximum meal she could make for herself was "cup noodles.

When I heard this story, I thought,

"What a novel kind of "abuse"

The important point is not 'pretending to protect the child' but worrying about the child.

It's not 'pretending to love' but 'loving.'

However, this "abuse" is highly effective.

With pinpoint accuracy, the parent destroys the future of the child.

-----

Ever since childhood, I have believed that if I accept 100% of what my parents say, I will be in deep trouble later.

In hindsight, this seems to have been the right decision.

This is because sometimes parents' advice is correct, but sometimes it is off.

If I had believed my parents' words, for example, 'You don't have to worry about your tuition,' I might have had to drop out of college.

However, my parents may have "worked things out at the last minute."

I, too, have become a parent of others and have learned that 'only adults have ways of solving problems.

However, my parents never explained why I should not worry, so I had to start moving independently.

-----

-- "You don't have to worry" does not relieve the child's worry.

How many adults (parents) do not understand this reality?

The child is finally at ease after verbalization, quantification, and presentation.

Unfortunately, the parents do not have the "track record" and "credibility" necessary for children to "trust their parents," or they are "invisible" to the children.

-----

This is why I had a credit ratio of about 50% for my parents.

I am not objective, but I think the numbers were generally reasonable.

-----

Back to the story.

The mother who does not allow her college-aged daughter to use a kitchen knife prioritizes her peace of mind.

She has not one millimeter of consideration for the future of her children.

I can safely say that these adults are the 'premium class of uncorrectable idiots' among adults.

So, what I would like to tell you, all children, are?

"Parents can sometimes be the greatest demon of all, trying to destroy your future under the guise of "love."

I don't know what method would be best, but I think one way is to "keep your parent's credit ratio at 50%".

------

Please ask your friend to guide you on how to use a knife at her house.

Ten cuts on the finger will do most of the work.
