Transcript

There's three types of parents who will determine how well your 20s go. The encouraging parent who sets you up for success, wants you to have a better life than them. There's the type who just had a kid to have a kid, didn't think about the long term at all. They don't care about setting you up for success. They don't understand the gravity of anything you're trying to achieve, especially if you're trying to make something out of your life. They're like, oh, I mean, have fun paying for college. They're not mad at you for pursuing anything. They're not jealous. They just simply don't care. And it's like, I've just never understood this mindset. Like, are you that checked out from being a parent that you don't care about me as an adult? Being a parent never stops. My parent that's alive falls in between two and three, so do with that information what you will.
