+1, my parents had me in their "golden years" and raised me the way they knew. It wasn't necessarily wrong just missing some tiny technical details, like showing affection and raising us to be whole people who could survive outside their nest. That's why I'm 40 and have no spine, no opinion, and no idea how to "grow up" after all these years. We didn't need opinions, our parents told us what to think and how to feel, and outspoken-ness was discouraged with corporal punishment. I'm a child of the seventies, my father was a child of the great depression.
