Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

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.

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.

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.

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

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