I'm not the OP, but can guarantee you her kids will not say what she has said.

I wish I could say you’re right, but in my case I find myself doing some of the things I hated my parents for.   Like putting my needs above my kids sometimes (ok more than sometimes).

My son responds to my criticisms/ suggestions/ boundaries the same way i responded and still respond  to my mom’s and I’m trying so hard to break that cycle, to speak to him always with kindness. This thread is a good reminder, but I digress.   To commiserate with OP, yes I once actually hoped that my mom had gotten into a car crash and died on the way to visit us  — that was how much I didn’t want her staying with us at the time.
