What were YOUR parents like?

[sam_layle]

My parents were strict but often lost control and lashed out iykwim. Smacking was a common occurance in my house, as was yelling, a "clip across the ear", as well as "get the feather duster/wooden spoon".

Rouge, sounds like my household. I cant say I had a great childhood and maybe thats why I'm still unsure of having kids of my own. Will I be like my parents? I bloody hope not. I dont get it coz mum keeps telling me I was a good kid. Yeh, too scared to do anything.
