Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

No, I wouldn't.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with the way my parents raised me. They did and continue to do their absolute best and it's worked out quite well. I just find their general ideas to be lacking, and I think I can see that had I been a different sort of person it could have ended very badly.

To cut it short they were too loose in areas where I could have done with some guidance, and too conservative in areas where I would have appreciated a little freedom. They never taught me very much, even things like cooking or ironing. But at the same time they were overprotective and didn't let me experience things until it was too late.

The idea was right, there needs to be a balance, but they got it the wrong way around.
