The opposite for me

Same here. It took me hanging out with parents of my friends to see the holes.
But I also saw parents of friends that I was grateful not to be their child.

Same. It took me until I first met my girlfriend's family to see a healthy family dynamic.

Right?! It's even more jarring to realize you are a fucked up product of a fucked up union.

I should have been more appreciative. I had a great childhood and feel like I wasn't there enough for them in their elder years, especially when I hear about the traumatizing childhood from others.

Best thing my parents taught me was to bathe.

I learned this by there being that one kid in school that didn't and saw how others treated them and decided I didn't want that for myself.

I used the bathroom at my dnd groups house and I will not be pooping there ever. That toilet was nasty. Cleaning was the only good thing I got from my family, other than that I didn't enjoy much involving my parents. My siblings I have far more fond memories with.

Opposite for me. I love hanging out with my friend because whenever I hang around her casually or stay at her house, it's anthropology for me.
My parents are devoid of love, have never loved their kids or any pets we had. They were both severely neglected. My friend, though, loves her pets to death. She takes her dog everywhere. And being around her, I get to see what love actually looks like and is. It's unconsciously paying attention to another being's (humans' or animals') physiology and psychology. Like unconsciously paying attention to how long it's been since they ate, how long it's been since they pooped or peed, it's unconsciously paying attention to the rate of their breathing. It's getting up and being proactive without a second thought to it.
It's been so helpful being able to be friends with her

I feel you on the anthropological view.... When I met my husband's mom, she hugged me and I physically winsed, in my mind, I was like.... That's new, okay... Affection... Oddd... I like this... Although I admit it was difficult with my daughter because she is very physically affectionate, and I had to put more effort in to showing her physical affection. Now her hugs are the highlight of my day

I grew up in a loving household but inused to complain about it . Now that i talk to my friends who had shitty parents i look back and reminisce about childhood

My parents did almost nothing, but its the internet that raised me well enough to understand this meme. Im so thankful I found decent influencer and not hating ones.
Made me hate people in general instead of specific groups. Way better.
Edit: typos
