[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 482489, member: 11791"] I was raised by parents who believed very strongly that we had to learn to deal with spontaneity and change, and threw us for left curves constantly. To this day... I do not handle change well at all. We've tried to raise our kids the other way... with far more structure, far more planned ahead, only a few surprises (there are always a few). daughter handles the left curves far better than I do. DS... varies, but he still does better than me. DS is learning his own limits, and is turning down opportunities that would be too much of a left curve... I didn't have a chance where my limits were, so I've set up walls that are probably far higher and more restrictive than they need to be... but I know I can live within them. Just one family's experience... something to think about. [/QUOTE]
