Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.
