I have to say that I have no idea if I am the same type of mother as mine was to me...

This is partly because I have NO memory of my childhood at all I cant even remember things that happened 10yrs ago and always having either BHL or my sibs say " How could you not remember that!!!" ( I cant even remember DS birth so I must have a few wires loses somewhere lol )

But the bigest thing I do remember is mum not been around alot ( due to illness ) and Dad having to work really hard to get food on the table so out late, and just having my sibs around to look out for us, I know I aways felt lonely and like I didnt fit in so I am determened(sp?) not to let this happen with my children... I do find I lose my temper a bit and have been know to scream at the kids but sence been on BB I am learning to control this part of my personalty as it was always there but I used to keep it hidden from everyone and just let it out when I was by myself ( self harm when a teen )...

One thing I do that my parents alway did is always tell my kid that I love them, so for this I thank my parents they still call all their 7 children once a week just to make sure we are all still ok and tell us that they love us so if I can give that to my kids I will be very happy...
