[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 623417, member: 17503"] I agree with 'toughlovin'....every one of us approached it a bit differently yet wound up with difficult children (and some of you also got PCs-- I only had 1 so no one else to count)...what you say, MWM (I pasted below)---just can't be so because many of my friends are the kinds of moms you and Cedar describe-- one is about killing herself because she is intent on being that perfect mom-- she is constantly stressed out and both her kids seem to be pcs-- that might change but her family has no background/dysfunction to the extent of many of ours so maybe not...another has a daughter in medical school, and is a helicopter mom (even of a 22 yo), always gave her daughter everything and did everything for her-- and yet they have a great relationship...so that's not the answer...I believe so much goes into making the difficult child who they are (genetics, environment, events in their lives) that there's no one way to parent them so they turn out as a easy child...we all did the very best we could and I try to remind myself of that every day....
