[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I do. I’m very open with them that everyone makes mistakes, even grownups. Even parents. Even me. No, my parents never apologized to me and it’s part of why I want to show them that.[/quote] +1. My parents never apologized or admitted when they did something wrong (though they often did do things wrong—yelled at us, cursed at us, called us names…never physically abused us but plenty of verbal and emotional abuse). I try really hard not to yell at my kids and I never ever curse at them or call them names. But I do apologize to my own kids anytime I raise my voice or act in any way they could possibly perceive as unkind or insensitive. I’m quick to admit when I make mistakes.[/quote]
