In some ways, I also did the opposite--parts I really really really found cruel or unfair.We tend to parent the way we were raised.
I don't. I do precisely the opposite. I'm the oldest of nine kids. The state came in and separated all of the kids and put em in foster homes after years of being at the receiving end of travesties that few Americans could even imagine.
This didn't solve the problem, it only made the consequences worse, as some have since put themselves at the end of ropes in their older years.
It is frustrating though when people who don't understand the problem think they know how to "fix" other people's kids.
Yep.
