I didn't say we didn't make mistakes hon, all parents do, even YOU.

The difference is that with a parent who realizes that you can't
bully your children, the mistakes are recoverable.

The problem IS, we didn't bully them! LOL

The exertion of ANY authority over children *IS* bullying them!!
Your problem is that you just try to CALL it otherwise!


And no, what we think isn't wrong.
------------------------
Of course it is.

Nope.

Yup.


And yes, people make mistakes, no matter how they were raised.

Sure, but if you don't believe in coercion, your mistakes are
recoverable.

Of course.

If you treat a child properly they never develop delusions like that,
and they never have to make those mistakes. Ours didn't. Grow up and
accept that ALL events HAVE CAUSES, however painful it might be for
you to admit that you made MISTAKES TOO, ones that you didn't have
to, ones that prove that the way you STILL think is actually WRONG!
