Sometimes I get confused which are the adults and which are the children.
All four of my guardians are unique individuals, that all bring something to the table. They each have their strengths and their weaknesses.
It can be quite frustrating dealing with parents, and even more difficult dealing with two sets.
I have learned, by the age of 21, how to deal with my parentals. But at times, it still is incredibly trying to my psyche.
Especially when the decided to act like their shoe size versus their age.
Why am I allowed to judge their parenting skill, as their child?
O I'll TELL YOU WHY!
1. Because I am the oldest
I have watched my parents raise their own children. I have no older sybillings to talk to and see if it's mom or dad being crazy, so I turn inward.
I am the only child with my unique set of parents and with that I am allowed to judge them, all of them.
2. I am the only one that deals with all four of them.
And yes, I do use their strengths and weaknesses against one another. Only because I know what good people they can be when pushed.
3. Because I love them.
I judge them and I yell at them and I hate them sometimes. But I will always love them.
Any child of divorce can relate to how nut-so it is having multiple parents.
Mine are insane, in their own ways, and that's fine.
I would not be who I am today if not for the people who raised me.
