Well the world of parenting advice and follow through has shown me in the past few weeks exactly what I want to avoid when I have kids of my own. Three to five hour sit down "discussions" that really turn out to be a tirade at me of things I can improve on and mistakes I need to avoid making, really do wonders for a parent / daughter relationship.
Words.
I love my parentals ... they have given me more than most people get in this world. And their actions are made even more frustrating when you know its out of love rather than control / self-pleasure. Parents don't want their kids to make the same mistakes they did but how much can their children learn from listening to second-hand experiences and being sheltered. If this life is about learning and gaining knowledge I don't believe you can feed off that of others around you. Somehow, somewhere along the line, you have to suck in a deep breathe and take that step out into your own world of hurt and pain and love and happiness.
We don't stay 7 year olds in tou-tous and spiderman suits.
