[quote=Anonymous] :roll: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a house with a lot of yelling, either at me or at other members.  But, I have to keep in [b]my [/b]some things:

1. Parents 30+ yrs ago didn't have as many resources as we do today regarding the "right" way to parent, and the negative impacts of certain things. Remember, in the 60's, 70's, pregnancy books stated to smoke to relax, or drink a glass of wine.  Those were definitely different times.
2. Regardless of whether your parents yelled at you, I think most parents do love their kids.  parents are not perfect, today or back then.

It's hard to break a cycle; it's hard to break the culture.  If that's how your parents grew up, if that was the social norm back then, then they won't ever see it the way you do.

I have to just remember that my parents did the best they could with what they had.  This isn't to excuse this kind of behavior. Rather, it's for me to remember that no parent is perfect, including me, and I'm learning to be a better parent as I go along.  Wouldn't it be great if we were all perfect parents from day 1?  But it doesn't happen that way.

It's good you recognize how it affected you and that you don't want to repeat it.  This is where the cycle can be broken.[/quote]
