[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just the opposite.

I now have so much more compassion and understanding of what they were dealing with from the other side.  Also I'm more forgiving of things that used to bother me now that I've experienced the challenges of being a parent.  [/quote]

In go in waves, “wow they didn’t have Amazon”, how did they do it?! To “Damn, they didn’t even enroll me in any activities that I liked”. [/quote]

My mom hit me once when she got really mad at me when I was a kid. I got scary angry at my kid once and could have come close to hitting out of anger. I understood in that moment, I was not really that different from my mom in some ways. My dad spanked us and it's funny now but when we were growing up, I still remember the punishment and the vacant look in his eyes as he was padding us. He believed in keeping a little fear in his children and not sparing the "rod" so to speak. I don't spank my kids but have argued with them more and raised my voice a lot more because they aren't scared of me like I was with my parents. I honestly don't know what is "better". Either way you suffer, as a kid and parent![/quote]

Don't know if you need it but *hugs*

I relate. [/quote]
