I went through a period of independence after age 14, but sort of lost a bit of it later on. I hope my kids can gain and keep independence. That's great to hear!!

No two children are the same and what works for one probably won't for a sibling...good point! Definitely right.

My childhood became a single parent one at age 14 and I think it definitely changed things...it is sometimes difficult to agree when your partner has differing views on discipline, etc. That's a really interesting take on it.

It's always a good thing when people can actually reflect on what they didn't like and improve on it. <br><br>Thanks for commenting!

I rarely had to lift a finger too and do get a bit of entitlement as a result. I've taken steps to ensure my kids can function on their own (putting laundry away, making school lunches etc.) so that it's not seen as a 'chore' when they get older, but rather just part of life. Hopefully it'll work. You brought up a good point that I did not touch on, but is part of my life too. I rarely had to lift a finger too and do get a bit of entitlement as a result.

I'd say I'm a pretty good parent as my girls both grew up successful and independent. I had a good childhood but was always independent and did everything myself.
