[quote=Anonymous]I think people semi- realize it when they first move out or live with roommates or hang out more with another persons family.  People realize there’s better ways of doing things, or what showing love or care can look like, or how much more talking or real interaction is going on.

In my dads case his roommates said Don’t be a slob. And he stopped being a slob. He realized his mom was overwhelmed with 7 kids and let the house go in that regard to triage other things like non-stop cooking, keeping kids out of trouble, etc.

The second time it happens is at marriage and raising kids.  Marriage you see the inside of another’s family- the good, bad and ugly if they’re authentic and not totally fake. You compare it to yours. You may have cognitive dissonance. 
Well, why didn’t my family take vacations or try a sport or not do holidays or birthdays?

Kids you realize the only role model you had may have sukked. And you vow to learn, do better and be better. Hopefully you didn’t marry someone like your father or mother either, if one or both were dysfunctional.  [/quote]
