Or were her exact words, "I'm so luck to have you has my mom." Moonflower just said this to me about 2 hours ago 💐🌕
We had just had a little discussion and as I was leaving her room, she said she was lucky that I was her mom, and I turned around and walked back towards her so we could discuss that🌕💐 We were both smiling and I was so elated. 

She said that most parents gaslight their children and treat them in toxic ways etc. (I know she's talking about how most adults consider it disrespectful when their children voice an opinion that is different from theirs.) 

We had just discussed our very different views on a certain topic and while we still disagree on the topic, we found some common areas we definitely agree on. And I didn't use my older age and experience as a weapon to downplay her view point.

I said, well, you know why I value your opinions and ideas so much? It's because of your grandmother and grandfather. They raised us the same way. Now grandmother didn't play, we got fussed at sometimes but most importantly I knew that my thoughts were welcomed, important and always mattered in my home. Your aunties felt the same, and we passed this down to y'all. 

(Now, this is not to say that just because a person had a toxic home that it's excusable to continue the same patterns).

I also said, and thank goodness for your dad as well. We work together! I said, a lot of times there can be a parent working against the other parent regarding their children. Thank God we have the same views when it comes to our child.

So what was the topic that we keep having disagreements on? AI. Lol. I use it a lot since I can't draw. She said she supports analytic AI but not generative AI because of the flaws that a real human artist would not make.
I was like, "Analytical AI?" Wow! 💐I learned something!
