What mistakes did your parents make while raising you that you will be careful to avoid in your own parenting? - Lemmy.World

Also, for the sake of maximising engagement - what mistakes did adults in-general make when interacting with you as a kid, that you avoid replicating today?

Hitting your kids: don’t fucking do that. You might not ever see them when they reach adulthood.

Might not see them in childhood either if they get taken away from you.

It is exceptionally hard for children to be removed for child abuse.

Especially if the mother is the one doing it. It must leave visible marks and be documents by a doctor or a policeman . It needs to show a pattern and be obvious the amount of force was excessive. This needs to happen several times to show a pattern. Must be documented.

That only begins the cps process.

You(only moms?) 100% absolutely can hit your kids so long as you don’t hospitalize them. It fucking sucks to watch from the side .

This seems very specific to the USA.

Yes. What is legal and acceptable will be different anywhere.
