The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Yes it would be wrong. By what possible reasoning would it not be wrong? You made sure to tell us the parents are non-abusive, because otherwise people would say "yeah, it's okay to be mean to your parents if they're abusive". You know people are going to tell you you...uh I mean the hypothetical offspring, is a fucking sociopath. Is that the answer you're looking for? Yes, it's wrong to be indifferent to your parents suffering and it's wrong to be happy about their deaths, unless they did something to deserve it
Hey friend, this is c/NoStupidQuestions.Ease up on the tone.
I know I feel for OP's take since I feel largely the same way about my Mom. I'm hesitant to enumerate my grievances against her, but I don't think her actions really ever quite amounted to "abuse".
There's been a lot of keeping secrets, lying, asking me to keep secrets and lie on her behalf, insisting I maintain relationships with legit bad people in the extended family, feeding the worst tendencies of people in the near family, and just being manipulative in general. And that's before we talk about her probable (though never proven) cheating on my old man or her heavy marijuana use during mine and my siblings early childhood (older sis talks about her doing things that probably hit the level of abusive neglect while high for days at a time, but that was before I can remember).
So yeah, now that I'm in my mid-late 30's, I don't really talk to her much. I don't think I hit the level of "would enjoy her suffering", but I don't intend to go out of my way to see her again.
I hope I'm the outlier in the sense of my story is rare, but I do see why others can not love their parents, even when they weren't abusive in the strictest sense.
I see you assume op is a normal person. There's a history of posts on this and other accounts (some deleted) that indicate op is a sociopath. They have said repeatedly they care about nobody but themself and maybe a romantic partner. They find it unthinkable to care about anyone else in your family. They have said they'll celebrate children dying because of how little They care about anyone. Even in the context of this post, they're not only expressing indifference, they're trying to get a reaction by saying at the end they'd be happy if their parents died, even when the parents clearly did nothing to them, they just don't care about others. They said non-abusive to make sure we know the parents are innocent, they haven't been mistreated or they'd say so in the post, they just don't see why they should care about others. They're baffled that it's wrong not to care about people in your family. They're baffled that it's wrong to be indifferent towards people who aren't your romantic partner
