The pros and cons of your own parents

I think it's important to step away from your childhood and say: What were the really good things that my parents taught me? What were the things that my parents that weren't so great with me? I think, as a parent, if you are really honest with yourself, you'll look back and find things that were incredible and made you who you are today. There were probably things that they didn't do or did that also makes you who you are today. I think, if you can do it, you take the good things, and try not to take the bad things. Some of them are just in you and you have to recognize that and not do them. I think if you can take the good things that your parents taught you and use those on your kids. Understand your skillset. Everybody has a different skillset. You are not exactly like your parents were. Take all the things that are good and be patient, be understanding. The most important thing for a parent is to take a breath, slow down, take a moment before you react.
