Yep. I've read that one.
It's also the idiot "supportive" parents doing the same as well, she talked about that too. All the girls of the book grew up being supported in everything. One girl was into ballet, so the parents were suddenly super into ballet with her. No matter what the kids did, parents became the X parents. Chess? Well, they are the chess parents. Dance? Dance parents. Troonery? Well, they can't start being normal parents indifferent or against something their kid is into! They have to be comically enthusiastic about this new thing too.
Ooh, that’s an interesting angle I didn’t think about. I still remember my dad telling me, “That’s not a five”, when helping me with a homework assignment. He mocked a little kid’s attempt to draw a number.
Let me tell you I fixed that number up right quick and never half assed it again lol. Parents should correct kids when they do stupid things, but it sounds like they maybe rebelled against their own parent’s teaching by supporting anything their child does.
I noticed that trend of parents being desperate to be their kid’s friend. This seems like an evolution of that.
