[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how could your imperfect parents have created perfect you?[/quote]

OP did not say she was perfect. And I think you all are being way too harsh.

The point is not that OPs behavior was dealt with by the parents, it's HOW it was done. Screaming and name calling? Not ok. Belittling? Not ok.

Kids ask for toys and things. Sure, some holier than though poster will surely say that they NEVER did so (right.) But most kids do.  OPs behavior was normal and, again, there are ways of handling that. For one, the parents could own some responsibility for the fact that they continued to buy the things they proclaimed they had no money for.

And, the housecleaning comments, again, not ok.  You have to teach children to do things before you get in their face for not doing them.

I think OPs parents sound like a nightmare.  And she lived it, not you.  These sort of comments affect people differently.  While I probably would not cut them off, I definitely would have some hard boundaries in place. They don't sound kind.  Just like some of you posters.
