Do your parents encourage you to make mistakes?

No. They expect me to do things perfectly the first time, and if I make a mistake, I never hear the end of it... Of course, when they make a mistake, they expect me to let it go so I'm glad everything totally goes both ways. Yup.

Not always, but sometimes. My mum always says 'do what you want, you will anyway' whenever I want to buy something like sweets that she doesn't like so I guess that counts??

well uhhh my parents made me

no

i don't really care though lmao my ego is too thicc for me to feel bad about mistakes i made 🗿

No.

They make sure I never make a mistake, if I do. It is the end of me.

I get what you mean.

Quote from Freddie235X

that they thought you need to learn from mistakes..?

or go the opposite way because they reckon have to wipe your ass for any mistake you make?

Definitely the second lol

No. I'm expected to get things right the first time. To my parents mistakes just mean that I didn't study hard enough or didn't think things through.

They also expect me not to do anything they personally consider a mistake (like not becoming a lawyer), so mistakes in a more abstract sense aren't acceptable either.

No but both my parents are gone now anyway,

Yes, we tend to discuss the choice too

no they say i can just learn from theirs

My parents like to drag me for my mistakes.
