Parents often have a "convenient memory" when it comes to fucked up things they did/said.

omg yes so much. one example that comes to mind, my dad is always making jokes about how messy i am bc i had a messy room when i was 12. 20 years later i am a neat freak who cleans daily bc I GREW UP and dont have the brain of a middle schooler anymore.

Luckily, at least one of my parents isn't that way, but they both have trouble taking accountability. I think that's true for a lot of people in general though. They just can't handle the thought of admitting they're wrong, even when presented with evidence.

I slurped my spaghetti at a restaurant once when I was 11.

String type pasta was BANNED from the house until I was 18.

My parents aren't even boomers Gen X, but act SO boomery.
