Hey, swell family. I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday. So I was listening to a YouTube podcast this morning, and the host of the podcast said that children are the ones that determine whether a parent was a good parent versus being a bad parent because the child is the one experiencing the parenting. So a person from the outside side can't truly decide if someone is a good parent or not because they're not the ones experiencing the parenting

You can have some bad parents and still end up doing some amazing things because we come through our parents, but we don't belong to them. And they're still our own personality traits, regardless of what our parents have. So, those are my two answers to the questions. But like I said initially, I remember hearing a preacher say one time, when a man is up there preaching, you can hear what he's saying

Like I said, we were definitely not slaves s at home, but I guess she felt like our parents made us do too much, so she didn't want to make her kids do too much. But, yeah, you're right. We're all different, and we're going to bloom into different types of adults in our adult years. And so I agree with you. I don't think that parents should be calling their kids their little mini mes

Because I learned from her. Now, who knows? If she'd have had somebody, you know what I mean? Older than her, would she have learned from them? Maybe. I don't know. But that doesn't mean that my parents were bad parents, because they did everything that they could to try to get through to my sister and to get my sister to be on the right path and to leave the foolishness alone

Okay. So I think if you have a child who never wants to see their parents or be around their parents, I think that's indicative of things that were going on in the household. Now, does it mean that that parent was a bad parent? No. Does it mean that that child was abused? No, but there was something that was lack in that home, and that's why that child don't want to be bothered with the parent. And I think that speaks a lot people

What age is this question being asked to the children? What age are these children? So it's a very tricky situation. A single mother can be raising a child, a single parent, that is, and she's trying to get the kid to go to school, get good grades, behave yourself, eat your vegetables. Father comes along every now and then with toys and allowed a child to eat all the ice cream and candy he or she wants

And so sometimes it takes you coming out of childhood and your teenage years. To really see what your parents sacrificed to get you to where you were. Especially when you start taking care of yourself. You realize how much your parents sacrifice, how much they denied themselves so that you could have. And it makes you grateful on a different level. But even so, I never thought I had bad parents

But there were other areas where they had rules and boundaries. But I never, ever thought that my parents were bad parents because of that. Strict. Yeah, but even looking back now, they weren't strict at all. I just didn't think it was fair because I'm looking at my other friends and what they can do and what I can't do, but, yeah, I never once thought that they were
