Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

Artists get better with age, e.g., painting. Yet when it comes to pop music, the famous work tends to be written when musicians are in their twenties. So, why aren't Bob Dylan or the Stones banging out amazing tunes now?

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.
