That generation, maybe - stiff upper lip, and go do your duty to your country in war, etc., but it was damaging to their children, and painful.<br /><br />There was this perception that telling children they were adequate, or even good, would give them a swollen head and too high an opinion of themselves. The next generation then praised their children for every little thing, and insisted in giving out trophies 'for participation.' <br /><br />Both extremes are bad.ABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-27230376586959390432018-06-17T11:04:47.914-04:002018-06-17T11:04:47.914-04:00Father's Day has been problematic for me as we...Father's Day has been problematic for me as well, my dad was present but harmful to me and some other family members. I was only able to say what I wanted to say to him at a time that I knew was very close to the end of his life, although what he could hear/understand was very questionable. There was release in saying my goodbye, and in the years since I have come to appreciate some of the gifts he did give me, and that my similarities to him do not make me a harmful person.<br />Parents and children - it's complicated. clairesmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235828110880302069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-58578245426747054702018-06-17T03:16:58.193-04:002018-06-17T03:16:58.193-04:00I have problems with Father's Day because, wel...I have problems with Father's Day because, well, my dad's been gone since I was 17. And I desperately wish I could have spent more time with him - I certainly would have, especially if I'd had any clue what'd happen! But I was a teenager and things like parents dying out of nowhere just didn't happen and I was living with my mom...until it did. I didn't have the chance to say goodbye. I'm so glad you did, Dave, I'd give up more than I can say to have had that opportunity. My stepdad is a good man, but I was an adult when he came into the picture - but he isn't a parent to me precisely, you know? <br /><br />Huge virtual hugs to you.<br /><br />Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886730530004965803noreply@blogger.com
