Dinah I know but nothing can do about it as it was what it was. So when I had my own I made a vow and kept it to only praise the positives and kind of ignore negatives. Also taught them at a early age to be self-sufficient as when I married didn't know how to cook make a bed a thing. So I had my kids making their own beds, did their own laundry not all the time at an early age about 6. As didn't want them to feel so stupid which is how I felt. Today they are all successful and too self sufficient as I really don't see other than youngest who lives near here. So there is a happy medium. Phillipa
