What do a lot of parents do that screws up their kid?

Oh I dunno... Compare them with other kids so that they'll always doubt themselves, impose their choices and decisions on their kids so they lose their ability to think independently, being overprotective, emotional blackmail... Everything my parents have done. I probably sound like an ungrateful brat, I know I wouldn't be where I'm without my parents but that's that.

@SW-User haha ikr? No set of parents are perfect and neither were mine, I love them but can't deny the screwing up they did.

@TheIncredibleHulka no parent is perfect but obviously they try their best to fulfil their role. But knowing no parent is perfect as you lecture, yet you bring their faults and imperfections to show how they were wrong, only shows something else.

@SW-User I don't deny they did their best. I doubt if I can be any better than them or at least good enough, but one thing it sure goes to show is I'll try to keep myself from making the same mistakes when I'm parenting.

no parents are perfect but it doesn't mean you can't point out their flaws especially if they have hurt you and really treated you wrong. my mom is a bad parent even if she tries her best but doesn't mean ill say that to her face but i will have an opinion on it and share if with others if i want.

@CodeLyoko agreed. That's what I have said here. Who knows may be I'd disappoint my kids as a parent and I won't go about emotionally blackmailing them if they decided to tell me how I wronged them.
