[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 666222, member: 1550"] This is true. But they didn't have this when I became a mother either and, trust me, I am wired differently. I still knew enough not to repeat my mother's behavior to my kids. My biggest nightmare was to turn into her. I never did call my kids names, ridicule them, belittle their choices or treat one better than the other. Trust me, it is not always easy when you have one child who makes you feel good and one who makes parenting a challenge, They need us to be loving and consistent. And accepting. If our mothers could not bring themselves to be decent, then it's on their shoulders to me. I picked up a lot of negativity about myself from mostly my mother, but I knew enough not to dump that on my kids. No, I'm done making excuses. But that is me. We all take our own journey. [/QUOTE]
