Ever notice how Mercury in retrograde seems to bring out everyone’s inner chatterbox — especially kids, who suddenly turn into walking thesauruses of colorful words? But here’s a real head-scratcher: Is there something about today’s cosmic vibes that’s not just encouraging lip service but downright disrespect, especially when it’s aimed at Mom and Dad? Back in the day, sure, we all knew the naughty words hidden behind the playground bushes, but calling your own mother a name that rhymes with “stitch”? That crossed an invisible, unspoken line. One commenter perfectly nailed it, reflecting on a time when respect wasn’t just about complaining but about how you said it — even if you wanted to throw some shade. Maybe Pluto’s in retrograde messing with everyone’s tact? Whatever the cosmic cause, this swirling debate has a lot of folks wondering if the stars are at fault or if respect is just a vanishing act in the digital age. Buckle up — the parental word wars are heating up. LEARN MORE.

Someone else suggested that while kids are likely exposed to all sorts of swear words, using them around — or to — your parents, joking or not, is a different subject, “Of course as kids we knew words but we never called our parents those words. Wasn’t respectful,” they wrote.

Another user agreed, writing: “calling your parent a bitch? Of course that’s the problem with kids today, they have no respect. And it says a lot that everyone praises that on here.”
