My mom is the strict type, dad is the permissive type. I never had this many friends to compare our parents' behavior, adults wear masks outside home. But I wished mom was more authoritarian I wanted to know why I was suddenly hit instead of being left to figure it out on my own, now I makes it an habit and upset my mom when I figure others' state of mind in a Bingo even the darkest one. She would've liked me to be more lively and now she wants me more innocent.
My parents we’re always so supportive and they showed their support when we did bad things to and disciplined us as kids and encouraged us as teens and adults and now all four of my brothers and I are very close to my parents as well as very strong and healthy pillars in our communities.
Authortiative B— minus taking our feelings into consideration. They didn't give a damn unless it benefit them
It shaped me positively except the not taking my feelings into consideration had a negative effect and i still make that known to her
None of the above. My child hood was like this.. If I said or did the wrong thing, I woukd get beaten so badly by my mother, that I would spend days at a time in the hospital. When my grandfather took me away from it, my mom told cps that he was a child molester, getting me pushed into foster care until I was 17. I have not spoken to her since I was 16.
Damn, sorry to hear that man
It's water under the bridge. The only interaction I have had with her is an insurance policy, that is just enough that I won't have to pay for her funeral or other costs. Beyond that she will never know if I have kids or anything else.
B. But I will add I was also a free range kid. The only rules I really had were tv and music. Outside of that I was able to come and go as I pleased from before I can even remember. As long as my parents didn't receive a call from an adult or police I was good.
They were quite authoritative while also never getting along. I grew up with quite a bit of loudness that I always ran when I heard it. When I do become a parent, I plan on having my children never knowing what their parents voices sound like, and all our talking would be done through Google Translate when we have something to say. It is a loving type of peace that is done in complete silence. I am also mentioning this because talking hurts quite a bit.
My mom was mostly uninvolved, inconsistent but made sure I had everything I needed.
My grandma was far too caring but couldn't expect much from her as old lady that was working 6 days a week.
How did it shape me? I grew up without strong discipline and order but overall my experience what was needed so that I can learn and be tough throughout life.
Abusive power hungry alcoholics, it's only gotten worse except for the abuse because they know I'll shred them both to pieces if they tried something.
Thanks to housing costs going up 5 fold thanks to Dems and their eviction moratorium, I can't afford to leave yet
So are you not in the military anymore?
my parents were strict but being me I was a rebellious kid. The more they pushed the harder I fought.
Firm but fair, with lots of love. They said things they shouldn’t have. You only realize later that parents aren’t perfect. They are winging it.
Authoritarian. It was not very positive and it only makes me want to cover my ears and just rebel. I do not want to use the same parenting style. Authoritative sounds the most positive.
The ghost parents cause where the fuck were they lmfaooo.
My kids are amazing though. Glad I’m doing something right.
my parents were very strict (in a good way) untill I was like 12. my mom had some issues after that and basically fell apart, so then she just used guilt tripping and physical abuse lol
Neutral, I would say. My parents weren't very strict, but didn't spend that much time with me when I was a kid.
I was and am free to do whatever I want aslong as I follow 2 rules:
Be respectful
Don't hurt people physically or emotionally unless there is no other option.
And I try to be sweet. But sweet doesn't always get me what I want.
My parents go back and forth so it’s really confusing. Plus they’re getting divorced so it’s even more confusing.
My parents used to fight every single day. I think a lot of family are dysfunctional. We just have to learn that life is not perfect. My dating life isn’t that good either. Did I learn from my parents? No not at all. Life is just not all that perfect and happy.
I wish you included an option for "profoundly neglectful, combined with insanely high expectations and sabotage.
I grew up free -range. We would have breakfast and then leave the house, maybe come back for lunch. We'd come back for dinner and then go back out again until it got dark.
They used toxic religiousness to control me. And they acted as if they were the perfect parents.
