Not parent, just dysfunctional child of parent.

This would wreck my brain a bit trying to play a role that's seemingly immensely important to my parents.

For sure. I told her that she didn't have to, it's not her job or chore. She's 4, for context. I just want her to pick up her toys at the end of the day ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Mostly though, I want her to know that I appreciate her, and that I notice the little things.

What do you think would have been helpful for you growing up?
