1 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,559 Speaker 1: All right, Steve DK and Steve HARVEYFM rights. I realized 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: that this might be a therapy issue. But anyway, my 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: parents were bad parents. My mom had me when she 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: was fifteen, and it was clear that my teen parents 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: were more interested in being young than being parents. As 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: a result, I have almost no relationship with them. That changed, however, 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: when I had kids of my own. Now they're going 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: out of their way to be the best and most 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: doting grandparents ever, and I find myself resenting the heck 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: out of it. They're giving me the quote get over 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: it vibe. But this isn't something that I've been able 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: to just shake off any advice. 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, bro, listen, parenting doesn't come with the manual. 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: And they had you so young. I mean they were 15 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: kids trying to raise a child, So you had children 16 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: raising a child. I mean if they made huge mistakes, 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: they didn't get it right, but you turned out fine. Look, 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: by the grace of God, here you are. Now you 19 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: have a family. Now they now they trying to get 20 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: it right. Man, They just trying to get it right. 21 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: You. 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: Resenting is not going to help the situation at all. 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: It does nothing. Plus they're older now, they just know 24 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: more about life, and I'm pretty sure they wish they 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 2: could get over it. I mean, you know, I'm pretty 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: sure they wish they had done a lot of things differently. 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 2: But you have an opportunity, man, to let it go, 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: you know, because you're saying that. They're saying they got 29 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: these get over it vibes. But and that's because there's 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: nothing they can do to go back and rectify, so 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: they're just trying to get it right moving forward. 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: So they yes, no, yeah, yeah, for your parents trauma 33 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, Yeah. 34 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: Just say yes, he should probably seek therapy. Therapy is 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 2: really good for you. 36 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: It is, for sure. 37 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 3: My parents. My parents beat me. They beat me. I'm 38 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: right now. If I could go back and put charges 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: on my parents for the way he beat me, I would. 40 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: I'd walk in the courtroom and turn a right in. 41 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 3: I should will, sure, But I'm fine. I'm doing well. 42 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got over because we had to. That's funny. 43 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: We're doing well. 44 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Therapy might work for him, so yeah, I think I 45 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: think he should try it. All right, we have time 46 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: for another one. See this is the joyceling on Facebook. 47 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: She says, I love my parents, but they are the 48 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: worst and totally miserable almost all of the time. When 49 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: they're not doing the jobs that they hate or spending 50 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: time with people they don't like, they're arguing with each 51 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: other about stuff that's not important. I know they used 52 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: to be happy, but I've never seen it. I wouldn't 53 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: even know where to begin to try and help them, 54 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: but I do know that I don't want to end 55 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: up like them. So here's a question. Is being around 56 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: them more likely to make me end up being like them? 57 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: Or is it a good guide on how to not 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: live my life? Wow? 59 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: Oh these people, hey, real judging on the parents. You know. 60 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: I keep telling y'all that parenting is hard.

I know 63 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: I have. We probably all had difference. Yeah, y'all want 64 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: to hold it against a parent to the day you die. 65 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: You know they didn't go ahead. But man, people make mistakes, 66 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: and you going to find that out when you become 67 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: a parent. You're going to get it wrong a lot 68 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: of times, plenty times, because like right now, I had 69 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: one one child told me that they loved languages, not gifts. 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: They love languages, words, and I don't specialize in words, 71 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: but you take these gifts though I ain't seem to 72 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: give back now one of them love signs, not now 73 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: one I wanted verbal Okay cool, come in here and 74 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: ask me for something else.
