I am not a parent yet but I am definitely going to treat my kids in a better way , all that unnecessary yelling and silent punishment can be avoided
Everyone thinks like that until they become parents.
In our parents times, the job used to end at 5pm. Even if a fire were to break out in their office, they would get to know the next morning only. After 5pm they used to do the parental duty.
Our jobs are more connected. We may work 8 hours a day, but we are 24x7 reading emails (even if we are not responding) or responding to some quick emails etc., even staying up late to solve a production issue. Family time needs to be squeezed in in our calendars based on our availability and the baby's schedule.
Internet has changed our lives for good and bad
Job is not the goal. Basic needs are met. Unlock fame and recognition by doing great work.
I am following the Funda of teaching them of: Experiment, Experience, Execute

Assuming middle class parents.
Parenting has to be done as per today's day and age. Most of our parents where Dad does government job and wife is a homemaker lack serious awareness about today's education and career paths. Parenting is driven around respect and blindly trusting elders. Debate and discussion is not yet a part of parenting. What we have is authoritarian parenting. There is no concept of "personality development" in schools or parents.
And a lot of young adults who reach their 30s would say they have wasted their 20s.
And a lot of young adults who don't find govt jobs like their parents are "furkeys" or "velle" or whatever.
Of course I am speaking from privilege. it could be worse.
culture of pronouns and futile attempt at defining multiple genders 😶🌫️
I am one and I have trouble always grew up asking parents, permission, rules
but some decisions need to be taken on own, even smallest but the continuous overthinking complicates it further

I'll go first. I became way more patient and empathetic, translating to much improved people skills at work. Please mention the positive changes only. The small negatives are too minor in the broad scheme of things as parents i believe.
