i love learning about parenting styles in psych 101 bc i can read it and go “haha yeah my dad was like that” and how that has been proven to mess children up and i can be like “yep can confirm”
#we’re learning about authoritarian parenting styles and uhhh#let’s just say it’s hitting a little too close to home#basically authoritarian parenting is being a ‘because i said so’ parent#they set strict rules don’t allow exceptions and apply punishments whenever rules are broken#they favor obedience over reasoning for rules#and that last sentence reminds me of how as a young teenager and older child i wasn’t allowed to ask questions about or debate rules#bc i would apparently ‘find a way to make the rules seem unreasonable and get my way’#so basically my dad was mad that i was a reasonable human being in the face of his strict discipline#hint hint: if your reasoning for rules can be unraveled by a 12 year old maybe your reasoning is bad#authoritarian parenting#this course was not made for ppl with trauma or mental illness or neurodivergency or disabled people
