Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.
