    There’s definitely this aspect, but at least for me with strict parents there’s also loads of examples of:

    ‘Huh, doing this particular chore every two weeks instead of every week doesn’t actually cause any real problems and isn’t a world ending disaster like my parents seemed to claim’

    Becoming an adult meant finding out just how much of my childhood was personal preference of my parents and not some sort of objectively correct way to live. Life has been a lot better now that I can do things the way I prefer.
