[quote=Anonymous]I  think I know what gave you that perception. (not talking about entitled, rude brats that abound in the DMV). As an immigrant from Eastern Europe, I can see this confidence in my DD. The norm for me growing up, and for every other kid, was to be criticized by your parents, in my case mom mostly, non stop. "What do you think you are doing," "you are wearing that?" And then more select ones about my morality, ineptitude, etc. Not for a public forum. I was a great student, got into all the best schools and got into college. While college is free, my track accepted 53 applicants from the whole country. So, not in any way a problem kid, nor irresponsible. I made sure that I didn't raise my kids this way, I praise my kids, I don't use what she tells me as a weapon later on. I might be over doing it, tbh. It has to do with how you are being raised. If I yell, or make a mistake, I apologize. I asked my mom recently why she never gave me compliments when I was a child, she said why would she, her job is to correct the wrong.[/quote]
