Wait this is a common experience? Makes me grateful my parents never fight

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 hours ago

It's a common meme. Not necessarily a common experience.

I can pretty much solely thank my family dysfunction for all the tech skills I have.

Just shutup in my room, headphones on, listening to radiohead, doing school work, learning how all things computer work, seeking out various knowledge sets because learning is fun!

I'm in my 30s now, and it wasn't untill a few years ago I finally realized that ... that is not a normal or average childhood.

... But its also more common than a lot of other people from functional families seem to think.

Humans are messed up in general so it's probably common enough tbh. My childhood was a bit different though. The arguing was never mutual. It was always my dad screaming at my mom while she sits there and takes it. I remember realizing that was abnormal by watching media growing up... realizing that couples are supposed to love each other and that fights are generally a mutual experience, not just one person belittling the other.

Anyway sorry that was oversharing lol

Hey same childhood! My dad would yell at the top of his lungs at my mom and call her a stupid bitch and she would sit there and take it and then silently cry in the kitchen and then ground me when I tried to hug her 🙂

Learned the shit out of computers. They’re the only things in my life that don’t yell at me (if we ignore error messages).
