[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well 2 things come to mind. 1. If you're on the outside looking in, you have no idea what things were like behind closed doors 2. If you're the parent, your kid may not have viewed their childhood the same way. I'm sure my mom would describe herself as a dedicated parent who provided all she could. And she was. She was also a control freak who was prone to overreacting and manipulating and guilt tripping us. We walked on eggshells with her being afraid to say or do something that would unintentionally set her off. As I got older and tried to talk to her about this, she accepted no criticism and waffled between everything was my fault or I was making it all up. But I know on the outside, we presented as such a perfect UMC family with a SAHM who was active in the community. [/quote] This. My mom would tell you my childhood was idyllic, my schools excellent, and her AP a big improvement over my dad. I beg to differ. [/quote]
