By not acting like goofballs and hypocrites. Admitting their mistakes instead of trying to justify their poor behavior

@deadgerbil most of this I can understand from personal experience.

How do you feel them not acting like goofballs would have been helpful?

@ZulXeroth it would contribute to a stable environment growing up. Even up until recently, shouting matches between my mom sister and grandmother were pretty frequent. Total chaos and it nearly caused me to end it one time when they decided to come after me with their bs

@deadgerbil that’s an unfortunate thing to have gone through, seems like a shared experience.

In trying to be a better parent than the two I was cursed with, maybe I’m asking what you mean by goofballs? I think perhaps we have very different ideas as to what that word means and I’d like to understand the difference better.
