Hearing about how some kids had parents that were constantly on them about never doing well enough in school etc makes me seriously consider if I'm jealous that their parents were like that or grateful that mine didn't give a fuck.

I guess it looks different from this side. As an example, my dad was so strict about doing schoolwork perfectly that my siblings and I weren't even allowed to write rough drafts. Every paper had to be perfect on the first go. Period. A grade that wasn't an A was not only shameful, but grounds for punishment. Every schoolwork had to be 100/100% correct or it was trouble.

As an adult, I'm a writer, editor, and publisher. And yet, I struggle so hard with my writing because if it's not perfect from the first draft, I don't even know why I'm doing it. If I fuck anything up, I'm liable to trash it, ruin it, walk away from it, or whatever, because if it isn't perfect it's just not good enough. I'm actually talking to a therapist about this issue because it's ruining my life. There's a really big middle ground between parents not giving a fuck and parents giving so much of a fuck that nothing is good enough. If nothing you do is good enough for your parents, then chances are that when you're grown, nothing you do will be good enough for you either.
