Mine was quite the opposite, I was a latch key kid since kindergarten and had an abusive (ill) mother, and a dad we saw once a month... I took it all as a learning experience to raise my children quite the opposite ..and even though this is how I was raised, AP parenting came natural to me with my 1st born son. I didn;t even know what AP was until he was almost one, but realized, thats what my dh and I were doing.<br />And sadly enough, like you, seeing close friends loose a child in utero makes me count my blessings. And every time I am in public and see examples of bad parenting, it makes me want to hug my babies closer...it also makes me want to mother those kids with the not so perfect parents...just yesterday I watched a young mom scream "shut up!" in her toddlers face... :(Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09444796891965618997noreply@blogger.com
