[quote=Anonymous]I get that parenting is hard, but I vividly remember receiving a half hearted “Keep up the good work” from my parent every time I did something I was proud of. Like, it didn’t feel sincere, and I never felt good enough. Throughout my life, I never thought I could do hard things. I suffer major imposter syndrome….even as I accomplish more and more great things. As an aside, I also remember my elementary school teacher (Ms. Rich) asking each of us to come to her desk to give her our home addresses. When I whispered to her that I didn’t know it, she said loudly so everyone could hear, “You don’t know your address!!??” I was mortified. Damn, it’s crazy how stuff like that impacts you your entire life. I’ll be the first to admit that I do not think I’d have been a better influence on children in my life. That’s one reason I’m glad I’m childfree. [NP][/quote]
