In the part of the world where I grew up, grown ups were always right. I grew up watching older people get away with stuff just because they are older. Anytime one of my older siblings or cousins did something to me , instead of them apologizing, they’d rather make fun of me and all I was being told was to not mind them. It was more of a cycle if you ask me.
Even though we are older now, I bet you most of us think it’s okay to do stuff that would hurt others and not apologize for it. I’ve met people who find it so difficult to apologize when they are wrong. It’s more like they feel too big to apologize for their wrongs. I sometimes wonder what world we are living in.
Growing up in some cultural settings can really fuck things up for people if you ask me. Growing up, my mom would always apologize to me if she did something I didn’t like and she made my siblings and I do same to each other. I can’t say same for other people. Some parents just do stuff and think they get to get away with it because they’re the parents.
As a parent, your kids learn first hand from you. Whatever you do at home and in their presence as they grow up is what they would see to be the norm. I wouldn’t want to raise my kids to think that not accepting that they are wrong is okay. We are human and we can’t be always right. The best we can do is accept that we did something wrong and make amends.
I once had some issues with people I was really close to and after some time, they started to act like everything was okay when in actual sense everything wasn’t okay. Up till today, they still keep acting like things are normal but to me, things are not normal. There are some people who can just look over things like they didn’t happen and I wouldn’t say I’m one.
Instead of ignoring the problem at hand, I prefer to face it head on. Sit and address the issue like normal human beings. You can’t keep avoiding it forever. The world is evolving and I think that as humans, we also need to evolve.
We can’t keep sticking to the old ways till they kingdom come. It’s okay to do something wrong and it’s totally okay to apologize. That’s what makes us human.

That’s true. Kids learn the most from their parents, so we need to be good mentors to them.

I also can’t like nothing happened if something happened, especially if the person is someone close. The moment I act like nothing happened too it definitely means I’m not even interested in the friendship.
It’s the same with me. I’ll just ghost you and that will be it.😂
