Hey antigus,
I think I have been grieving for a while now, but for some reason I just feel angry. It is like the more I know about child developement, the more I become angry at my parents.
My mom used to say, hey I don't need to read a book about raising kids. ( even as a kid, I remember that "what" ? You have got to be kidding.
I remember once when my mom was around and my daugher was like 2 yrs. old. Well she made this breakfast cassorole and gave my daugher an adult size portion (in my opinion) and was telling my daughter that she was a bad girl for not cleaning her plate. I just couldn't believe she said that to a 2 yr. old. Then my mom thought I was spoiling my daugher because I didn't spank her. Well maybe I don't spank my kids, but that doesn't mean that I don't disipine them. My mom was really messed up, I am so glad she is out of my life.
Thanks antigua for you post and your support. ;-)
