Is it weird my parents didn't teach me any lessons?

Maybe you just didnt understand or learn the lessons, Ma'am? 🤭

I still get taught lessons... with a belt on my bare arse, if necessary. 🥺

You are wrong on a couple of counts. Speaking as a parent of three here...

First, the most valuable things your children learn from you are the behaviors that they observe every day that they are with you. Extreme example. If daddy is an alcoholic wife-beater, it's not uncommon for son to grow up to be an alcoholic wife-beater. Therefore, if you think your parents didn't teach you any lessons, then you probably learned a LOT from observing how more "normal" people live. Also, even if your parents make huge mistakes...you (as the child) can often learn from observing THAT, also.
As a parent, you are teaching your children every second of every day, just by ....dealing with all that life throws at you. You don't have to tell your children...OK, every Thursday night at 8PM is family lesson time...time for me to teach my children lessons. In fact, if you tried to formalize the process, it would probably back-fire (especially in the teen years)

I was just talking with a father who was taking his 14 year old son with him on his pest control route. Put the kid in an official uniform, had him (literally) battling rats at restaurants. Now, will the kid be a pest control worker someday? I doubt it. But he's learning a lot from observing dad working hard to provide for the family. And all I could think was....THAT'S AWESOME!!! That is above and beyond, as far as teaching lessons go...
But you really don't have to try that hard to teach kids lessons. The most important lessons that they will learn from you are the ones you never made an effort to teach them.

Also, there are some lessons that people just need to learn for themselves. I would like to tell my teenage son to never marry, and to never live with a woman. But I'm wise enough not to go there. First, he wouldn't believe me. So I'd be the "bad guy" when the kid decides to get married. But after he's divorced, he will know what I already know. And when he comes to me to ask me why I didn't warn him...I will ask him, "Would you have listened?" And if he's honest with himself he'll realize...

I did the best I could by just letting him learn for himself...

a little. how's your life gone?

Well your not in jail so your doing something right

seems to be all too common these day
"it's up to the state/school/etc,
I'm just the parent"

for me is wasn't that my parents stood there andexpected others to teach me, they split up when I was a baby, then mom was working like 14-18 hr/day wnd thefe was no time to teach me

Schools have lesson plans.

Cool. It's called a laissez-faire approach. Almost sounds like lasy fair approach. It's pretty cool 👍 Not like people here who are overbearing.
Question is, did you take advantage of it and enjoy it?

Unfortunately some people are like that minimum care ...

Sometimes the best lessons are absorbed through watching

Seems as though they were hoping to learn lessons from *you*...?

They probably did, but you have just forgotten them!

Maybe they thought it was better for you to learn your own lessons?

It is weird but probably quite common unfortunately.

Maybe they felt that they learned from you...?

But you also observed them living

that seems odd, care to elaborate?

Not sure. Mine did the same

It's called lazy parenting

Sounds like a psych ward.

Are you driving again?

wow excellent parents
