Of course it’s normal. As kids we think our parents know everything. As adults we realize that’s not really the case or that our views of things are different than their views.

My mother was so controlling of me that if I disagreed with her on anything she lost her shit on me. I didn’t know that wasn’t normal!

I’m a parent now and I actually welcome their different points of view and beliefs. It’s great for conversation and to learn to see things through the eyes of other people
