[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm in the exact same boat. DH and I had countless conversations about how to be better parents before we had our children. I'm terrified our kids will grow up and, like us, want little to do with our parents. But - the things I've noticed that I try to do differently so far are 1) respect my kids and their opinions. I have to treat them with respect. It's a two-way street. 2) have patience, even when it's inconvenient. My mother only had patience for me when there was nothing else happening and no other demands on her time. It was obvious. 3) make sure everyone treats each other with kindness. No bullies or pretending things didn't happen. I can only hope and pray that I model good behavior so I'm friends with my kids when we're all adults. [/quote]
