Talking to other people’s parents was always easy, they usually judged you for things you could control, whereas your peers (or sometimes your own parents) judged you for things you can’t control.
Sometimes I’d talk to a girl’s dad, who was in hindsight just trying to make me uncomfortable for fun. Now that I’m a dad myself, I feel like this was extremely small dick energy that I’m going to avoid. Teenagers are already uncomfortable enough.
Hot take:
