I feel I did the best that I could with the best that I had and instilled all the morals and values I was taught. My kids are by far perfect as no ones kids are if they are I would like to meet them. We are all human and there are some bad parents but I feel I did a great job. My mother tells me this often since she sees my kids more than I do and sees the fruits. Raising children didn't come with a book to show us how but it's what we are usually taught on what we do and some of us (i know for myself) I tried to do things my parents didn't do with me and it all worked out.
No one would really like to admit they were a bad parent i do feel in todays society more parents are too laid back where our parents were a bit more strict.
ex: not my child! my child would never do that! parents fighting in defense and denial of things their children do. Children do learn this is how it is and get away with more than they should. In my day if I would have did some of the things I have seen other children do today, my parents would have said take her to jail, give her punish work, suspend her, etc.
This is just from observance and not saying I never said not my child, I honestly didn't always believe them when they said they didn't (especially one child of mine) but sometimes they were right and the adult was wrong but I had to have proof before jumping to conclusions of defending.
