Most people in their twenties and thirties are familiar with Will Smith’s old song Parents Just Don’t Understand. I had an epiphany. My parents were once my age. They have gone through the same things as me. They do understand.
I am currently a full time student, a full time worker, and I am dealing with the parts of life twenty somethings deal with. I have a rental lease, but I am thinking about buying. I am paying off a loan. I am in a relationship. I am dealing with taxes. I am navigating my way through life.
My parents were once in their twenties. Weird huh? They have had many jobs. They have paid several loans. They have dealt with leases and contracts. They have been in relationships. They have had about 30 years of life on top of what I have.
I do argue with them. After all, I am always right. (wink, wink). But I try to remember that they have done it before and will never do anything to hurt me. They only want me to succeed.
Remember that other twenty somethings (and teens). Your parent’s just want what is best for you.
