Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

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.

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.

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

You hold the door open for a lady and she stops in her tracks and screams at you, ‘Don’t hold the door for me! I’ll get it myself!’ What are your feelings or immediate reaction?

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.
