I was treated fairly with respect and always pushed to do better in all things I did. No matter the accomplishment, I was congratulated and then we'd explore if there was room for improvement.

Rules of behavior were clear and consequences spelled out.

I don't recall ever not feeling safe at home. Home, whether with Mom & Dad or with my grandparents, was always the most excellent place.

As an adult, I'm definitely a rule follower. I very rarely push back against guidelines unless they are clearly biased or unfair. If they are simply difficult then the problem is me not the rule.
