What about you yourself making mistakes for your own kids? I’m child-free by choice so I can’t answer the second question. As for the first one, everybody makes mistakes. We are only Human BEings. Parents are in that same category. Just as we all learn & grow, parents may make mistakes but they too learn & grow in the learning process so I don’t feel we should hold it against them. Now for severe abuse & neglect, that is a different story. I’m talking about simple mistakes that we as adults need to overcome.

I don't have any children but my parents were good really I don't have any complaints. I could talk to them easily and they would sit down and talk to me.

The only criticism I would have about my folks is them allowing us to smoke in the house when we reached 16.

I think my parents made some bad financial decisions (and some good ones too). They got married very young, so it's hard to say that they should have known better.

My parents made many mistakes, but me and my brothers still did alright for ourselves.

T.T., Steve, Bob, lammchen, spice, demonskeith, Thank you for such wonderful comments here! I figure they are only human & when we grow as adults, we need to wisen up & not blame them for everything.
