Things that you did wrong as a parent

Re: Things that you did wrong as a parent

I try to "relive" my life through my kids. So whatever my parents did wrong, that upset me - I try to correct it, polish it, and present it to my kids. (It's not that I am traumatized or anything...my parents were just strict. I believe that my parents could have said the same thing in a better way, or done it in a different manner).

I have no regrets so far.

(However, I just asked my 7 yr old to tell me what she thinks I do wrong or that she does not like? She told me laughingly - you need to stop smacking me mom! =) )

aahhmmm - so every parent still are at fault some how! I will try to correct myself in "smacking" her a little less ;) lol

That's the beauty of life.
