Too many children are actually responsible for their parents. Example, narcissistic mother wants her daughter to excel (Tiger mom), but is a wreck herself. The daughter must comfort and eggshell-walk the mother, because Mum is too tangled in her own issues. Children should be children! I see this in a lot of young families, now.

Grew up like this. My mother was a mess who was determined I should grow up the way she would have done, had she been in charge of the whole thing. Needless to say, it didn’t end well. My dad tried to c stay in the background by leaving early, starting out as late as acceptable, and then vanishing to his own room upstairs from me and my mother as long as possible. If I had thought more about that aspect then, I would have realized some things sooner, lol.
