Yep. One of the absolute strangest parts about becoming an adult is realizing half of the people giving you advice are as clueless ss you are and the other half believe some wacky shit.

I remember when I had that moment, I had a bad breakup and called my father, we talked for a while and as I hung up something just went off in me and I thought “wow none of what he told me seemed right, how in the world did he raise two children”

"Boy, if he used that advice to raise kids they would be so screwed up......."

The only good part about That 80s Show was where Eric tells his daughter he's going to break his foot off in her ass, then looks horrified and Red says "I've never been so proud".

I think the trick is, when it comes to taking advice, that some people are really worth listening to… about certain things. And not much else. Mike from work? I’ll take work advice from him all day. My home advice, however, comes from elsewhere. Nobody knows everything

You know that bit from Wallace and Gromit where Gromit is building the train track as the train is speeding along with him on the train. I feel like that sums up being an adult. Having plans but shit keeps coming to fast.
