They (parents) use this guilt-tripping to stop you from fulfilling your plans, but most important, from believing something they don’t (something which contradicts their beliefs)

We are all entitled to our own share of mistakes and learning experiences in life. No one should take them away from us. Not even our parents.

If parents want “success stories” to share at gatherings they should provide themselves with those, and they should not use their children for that purpose.

Who said that parents’ beliefs should be adopted by their children?
