We all make our mistakes in life, but I can look back at my years of growing up, looking at all the events that took place, and wonder about my parents, what in the hell were they thinking. Ever do that?

Sure, I can look back and see where mistakes were made. I can also see some things that were handled just right even though I hated the way it was handled at the time. Then there are those times where I look back and think "How did she pull that off?" when she'd come up with things that seemed impossible. I am grateful for having a mom that loved me enough to put up with all the crap I pulled growing up! I can overlook a few mistakes...lord knows she did!

Yes, I wondered how my parents could have been so unkind all of those years ago. I wondered what they were thinking, why they seemed to hate having kids so much, etc. I don't know if the stress of making a living and having a family can account for how they were. Later in life, when they became grandparents they became very kind to all of us, very supportive, etc. I never had the nerve to ask why the change, I was just happy the family seemed to get along and we had each other.

Most people do, but when they start moving beyong all that is when they start taking responsibility for themselves and not blaming their parents. Parenting is harder than it looks. Just think of what they did right and have a thankful attitude for that (there must be something they did right) and try not to duplicate the things that weren't so good. By the time you are 50 you will think they are geniuses.

I completely Identify with you , but don't spend to much time blaming your parents and ingorning your own mistakes. My parents f*cked up horribly when I was younger but so did I, and if you concentrate on your parent's mistakes you won't notice your own errors are holding you back.
I'm not saying you're doing it, but some of my friends have used the excuse of a rough childhood has an crutch to become apathetic, and it always leads to problems.

Only every day!
Honestly, people should have to pass a federal parent test after going to parent school BEFORE they ever become parents.

Actually, looking back, I think my parents did really well, and I wonder how I managed to screw up so badly.
