Was the chili really that bad you had to hurt your mother's feelings about it? I feel you hated more than just her chili...

some parents cant take criticism lightly and need it shoved down their throats to get it passed their thick skulls

otherwise they'll just laugh it off and not change anything despite causing and denying a large sum of anxiety and ptsd-like symptoms throughout ones formative years. the parent might instead of helping you, ostracize you for being too "lazy" to go outside, yet when that one goes outside they get pissy and huge amounts anxiety.

but when one ask for comfort they say deal with it because everyone deals with going outside therefore you can suck it up.

or they tell you to do new stuff but whenever one makes a mistake one gets yelled at and then the parents wonder why the child doesnt want to do anything new.

or smth like that idk
