Listen now or else...

Why do they think us as parents are a nag? Why don't they listen to what we are actually saying? If they would have listened, they would not be in the situation they are in. I feel so bad. But, I told them. I guess it was just me huh? Not going to happen to them? I can't let them see me feeling bad. I have to let them figure it out. I didn't have proper guidance. They had WAY more than I did and still messed up.
