If you have kids, do you find yourself focusing on that thing in regard to them?

I would change almost everything about how I was raised. I had an abusive mother who was always drunk. She was horrid. I've done everything completely opposite of her as a mother. It's nice to hear my children tell me that they're lucky to have a mother like me, I show them so much love every single day and let them know they are the most important things in my life and always will be.

I was made to feel guilty about everything. I hope my kids don't take on that role. I am trying to not let it influence their lives but it is difficult. Also I was made to feel that I had to be busy ALL the time, never just have down time. That is a hard mindset to overcome and I'm afraid I have passed that one to at least one of my children. Some of that is possibly genetics also. It's a fine line between genetics and environment.

I was lucky and had fabulous parents. My father was strict but a very good, loving man. The thing I would have had my folks change is teaching me to keep a budget and training me not to spend money foolishly. I worked since I was 15, but my parents did not charge me any rent. I bought most things for myself, but they also bought a lot of things, clothing especially. Therefore, I always had extra money and had a terrific collection of records, books and took many trips later around the world. It is not good to be cheap, but if you do not learn to be thrifty young, later it will be very hard to break the habit.

OMG, where to start...
Mostly was raised in an extremely controlled and religious backgroud. We litterally didn't speak unless spoken too..to anyone..and was not aloud to even get a glass water out of the kitchen without permission. Way too strick...
My home now is more open and relaxed and is a place I make for my kids to be themselves, play, sing, dance about, and express themselves as they truely are.

After a little thought ... Not a blooming thing!
My folks tried their best and I was not an easy kid to raise. Yeah, we had our difficulties. But how my folks handled each situation is what made me who I am today.
I have learned something from them and I vowed not to make the same mistakes with my child.
While none of us is perfect, we owe it to our children to give them better than we had. It's that simple.

Why could desire to he and why blame Obama, it somewhat is stupid ... your "schedule " is showing the administrative. monetary employer Acct isn't basically like the every day individual's ... Obama has finished not something that no different Presidents have not finished so it has not something to do with Obama, Bush ... Presidents, it is basically HOW issues are finished and allowed to be finished and could continuously be finished !!! NO Politicians ( Dem or Rep ! ) govts take cuts, they only " decrease " human beings from residing - like the undesirable, disabled, little ones... & protection rigidity and human beings / voters think of it somewhat is effective, not very intense high quality - government is barely a mirrored image of it is human beings / voters , they permit their government to be and do what it does ---- human beings & government is incredibly undesirable & grotesque ( Dems and Reps ) !!!

I rather not had been raised by a verbally abusive alcoholic father and a bitter psychotic mother
that's probably a big reason why I have chosen not to have kids

My mother used to beat the crap out of us almost daily, belittle us, feed us poorly while she filled her face with food, made us work and give her all of the money, and wouldn't allow us to have any friends. I'd like to change all of these things not just one. I'd hate to say my mother is what I would want to change, but I guess that would be it.

I'd have my pops live longer than he did and not die when I was five!
Maybe raise my son with a little more extra money. I made up for my dad by giving him what I might have missed!

Having two parents who loved me instead of just one. My father was not the kind of father he should have been to his children. He could never find it in himself to tell us that he loved us. He was a terrible alcoholic who could never be there for me when I needed him.
