The way my parents raised me and my brother is totally different than the way I raise my kids. We constantly are clashing when it comes to parenting skills. My parents were never the emotional and open type. My dad just worked a lot and when he was at home usually just ignored us kids. My mom has never once told us she loves us, I know she does but it bugs me that she is not able to be open with her own kids. We never had lectures over drugs, going to college, sex, etc... I think I just got lucky that I did not turn into some total loser. My brother on the other hand is very secluded, is 23 years old and pretty much a momma's boy. I think he is that way because my parents made him that way.
All in all I hate the way that my parents raised us, yeah of course there are some special memories and I still love my parents but I will never raise my kids the same way. I want my kids to be able to trust me and I want to be involved in their lives as much as much as I can without being overbearing.
Do you guys follow your parents example or are the opposite?
