Reddit post about grown kids reveals parents' biggest regrets — and it's not what you think
Fox News
A Reddit user took to that social media platform to ask other Redditors about how their adult kids turned out — and if they could attribute results to their parenting. Here are some surprises.
One father of adult children from the Boston area said that too many parenting regrets are both "painful" and "unproductive." "I think money was tight, and that was a big factor." "Neither of us wants to turn into Harry Chapin's ‘Cat's in the Cradle.’" Deirdre Reilly is a senior editor in lifestyle with Fox News Digital.
The dad of three sons told Fox News Digital, "A parent who has regrets is a parent who loves. Perhaps they see an adult child struggle in one specific area, and they wonder, ‘Was I a weak parent there — would things have been easier if I had done X, Y or Z?"
