How to Be the Kid Your Parents Brag About (Or At Least Try)

Ever felt like your parents are speaking a different language? Yeah, me too. I used to roll my eyes every time my mom asked me to do the dishes—like, how hard is it to rinse a plate, right? But then I realized, maybe all they want is to feel heard. So, I started actually listening (not just nodding while texting), and guess what? The arguments dropped, and suddenly, I wasn’t the family rebel anymore. I even started surprising them with small things—a cup of coffee here, a random hug there. Turns out, showing a little respect and gratitude goes a long way. Sure, I still mess up, but now, I own it. Maybe being the “perfect” kid is a myth, but being a better one? That’s totally possible.
