Do you feel that you're giving your kids all the things that you didn't get from your own parents? But now that you're a parent, you're also dropping the ball in other departments?

I don't have kids but I've seen my mom do this to my brother and I think she's dropping the ball in other places.

Dropping the ball is a really heavy thing to say. I don't think that we or I have dropped the ball, but I do feel like I didn't focus enough on certain things. But they still knew I loved them and that was what's important.

I agree my verbiage. I do agree my verbiage was not the best the best on dropping the ball I don't think we necessarily dropped the ball I think we may have may neglect some things I don't know if that's the right word

Well, with my own kids, I try to nurture their talents, but sometimes I feel where I neglect is to understand what's important to them at their age.

Now of course, you know there's no like Again, there's no rule book to being a parent. We don't we're all doing the best we can But you know, it's um trying to be 100% all the time

But the best thing is to love them, to try and to be a better person and to direct them better than what you learned before.

I completely agree and I make sure that my daughters understand that dad loves them unconditionally no matter what the situation is and because of that

And because of that I've had my daughters open up to me quite a bit about some things that are going on in their personal life. And I appreciate them doing that.

Because I have to admit that's also something that I didn't really get from. I didn't get from my mom per se, but my dad definitely, my dad definitely was there for me to talk about anything.

You're in the right direction if your kids are talking to you. You're doing the right thing. Not always easy, but you'll be fine.

I think that if you have parents that were really extreme in one area that you tend to swing to the other side of the pendulum with your own children And I think it's hard to try to find the middle where it's healthy for everybody If your parents were extreme.

No, I don't think I've dropped the ball because how my parents raised me and the time at which my parents raised me is different than what the time is now. So it doesn't even equate the same, doesn't even equal out. Absolutely not.

And that is what was important. That is so important is to let them know that you love them and bottom line they can come to you for anything.

But for example, like when I was a kid, my mom didn't really, and I didn't even notice this until I became an adult, but my mom did not like nurture our talents.

And you have a point there because my mom didn't encourage us to finish school, so guess what?

To be honest, it's kind of like trying to be everywhere at one time. A parent can do one thing excellent and then 20 things okay and five things great, but then somewhere you're lacking. You can't be everything at once.

So like for instance my mother was super overprotective and never let me leave the house at all. So I wanted to let my child do whatever she wanted, but then my brain had to say no let's find some middle ground, some structure. Mommy! But not captivity.
