I can sympathize...

I try so hard to think about what my own kids will remember from their childhood. In a way, I have my parents to thank for this

I commented to my parents once that it didn't help to hit kids (they asked why I didn't hit mine...) I said it was very damaging. They said "but look how good you turned out"...

I swear I have such a dysfunctional family. I'm so glad we're not that involved with each other...
