[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone asked me this yesterday and I answered B+. Kids are in their low 30s.
Brought it up to my 2 daughters and told them what I gave myself. One daughter said an A.
The other daughter said she didn't want to hurt my feelings but she was frustrated and hurt at some things that happened in her childhood. And still is. 
I have no idea what she means. 
I said I was open to hearing her truth.

It makes me feel defensive, of course. I grew up in a single parent household with no money, we simply survived the best we could. 
I've had to forgive my parents for being broken people themselves. THey did the best they could.

That's what surprises me about this topic. People who are irresponsible, have more children and less resources, their children tend to be more forgiving to them, compared to people who have less children,  more resources and try their best to do it right.

I think its more like Stockholm Syndrome, kids are groomed from beginning to not criticize parents but justify their behaviors.[/quote]

interesting perspective. And one that likely fits.[/quote]
