[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 437357"] The thing is, when I was growing up she was a very physical punisher. If you didn't do what she said when she said it, we got whacked with a stick. The thought of saying no to her or disagreeing with her got us worse punishment. Of course, I was the "bad" kid in the family (until my baby sister became a REBEL) and never did anything right and was actually diagnosis'd by some quack (based solely on my mom's version of events) as a "professional liar". That was over 30 years ago and she actually had the gall to remind my baby sister of that yesterday. My sister's response was, "don't you think she's outgrown that by now?" Mom's answer was simply "I would hope so but you never know." How sick is that just because she disagrees with my parenting style, which is the opposite of hers. I swear I am the only 48 year old that is still afraid to tick mommy off, although I am trying VERY hard to get past that for my sanity and the mental health of my children. I refuse to raise my kids to be afraid of me. [/QUOTE]
