parenting
leah asked the following question: I’m curious to know if people who had hard childhoods and/or don’t
really like themselves intend to raise their children to be different
from themselves.
and it got me thinking about my childhood and some of its difficulties. things i don't really think about or ponder. but just because my childhood was hard has no bearing on how i want my kids to turn out. i totally want them to be like me. since i am so perfect and all.
i would want them to be like thomas. i just don't want them to go through some of the situations i faced as a child. anyone who plans on having kids only wants the best for them. that is perfect parenting.
the hard parts of my childhood really had nothing to do with my parents so I've never thought about it. I do think I will parent similar to how I was brought up, but with my own values (environmentalism is probably the biggest) imposes too.
