[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eventually, yes. I am a SAHM. I spend a lot of time with other SAHMs. When I see how they parent/interact with their children, it’s usually a really good indicator of what kind of family they came from. [/quote]
See, this is not my experience at all. Some of the most caring, connected, and attuned parents I know come from bad family backgrounds and they are so gentle and connected to their kids precisely because they know what it feels like to be treated poorly by parents and never want their kids to go thru what they had to.

+1 I'm a SAHM too and I think most people view me as very connected and compassionate with my kids. That's because my mother was an abusive alcoholic. I was generally cared for by my older sister, who went on to committ suicide in early adulthood. My children's mental and emotional health is a top priority for me. I make mistakes, of course, but I am quick to apologize to my children and talk things through. I hope they grow into well adjusted adults that know they're loved beyond measure. [/quote]
