Since the topic came up, do you feel you were too harsh with your child as a child?

[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 623408, member: 15801"] I think this thread just goes to show there is no perfect parenting style... and I think addiction can come from all kinds of parenting. I dont think I was too harsh at all.... I think in many ways I was pretty middle of the road and reasonable although at times I did overreact to things. I dont think I was always consistent and I didnt provide enough structure (which is not my nature). I think in many ways I parented like my mother did and that worked well for me and worked well for my easy child daughter.... but my gut reactions did not always work with my son.... who was much more defiant and pushed all limits all the time. I do have some real regrets... but mostly it is about missing some things going on... that I just didnt get at the time that I think had a long term impact on my difficult child and maybe I could have prevented some of his later problems if I had seen the initial issue at the time. In the end though I am with MWM I think most of it is due to his wiring....his personality and temperment has just made things harder for him in so many ways. I think really I was a good parent and I think things could have been worse sooner in some other situation. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
