Nothing about this post makes any sense.
The government shifting between “you’re a kid you can’t drink” and “you’re an adult where’s your draft registration”
Breaking it down into a binary kid vs not-kid thing is dumb, but as you grow up there are definitely times where you're old enough for some things and not for others.
I'll tell you now, if you can't wrap your mind around adults/parents not always wording things in ways that have logical consistency, you'll have your mind blown when you realize how much of adult-hood is just flying by the seat of your pants while only sometimes having the benefit of previous experience to draw from.
I don’t think people have an issue with parents being wrong sometimes. They have a problem with parents who pretend they are always right and don’t explain why or admit when they are wrong.
It shouldn’t be up to the child to mature and think “it’s ok they are only human”. They should learn that early from the parents.
