Good Parent vs Bad Parent
When I'm older and have children, I'm going to make sure I am a part of their life. I'm going to do everything my parents didn't do or haven't done yet. Whenever I think I might have hurt my child's feeling, I'm actually going to check up on them later and apologize and tell them I love them enough to want the best for them. I hope I don't lose my temper with them as much as I lose my temper as I do with their future father and with my own family. I just want my children to know they have a mother and father who love them unconditionally. I never want them to feel unwanted or ashamed of themselves, especially in their teenage years. My parents gave me everything I could want material wise, but they didn't give me much in the emotional sense, unless I was in trouble.. but even at that I was looked down upon, mainly by my mother. Every time she gets irritated or mad at me, she normally gives me the silence treatment or will ignore me. It hurts way more than I expected. My dad seems to be the only nice and generous one anymore. I will never spoil my child in place of doing what needs to be done to make them genuinely happy. I was an only child, and I was spoiled... apparently, a brat, ungrateful, etc.. I never tried to be ungrateful and I was always generous with what I had. 98% f the time, I shared what I had... that's all i really have to say for right now.. I just needed to rant, badly.
