Assignment 8
when i was growing up my parnets had different pinishments for me at each house. My mother was more authoritarian. Which with her punishing and low communication we had because we fought a lot, i eventually end up becoming close to her. Because i realized what she was doing to me was for my own good. and during high school i followed her rules and made straight A's and was in national honor society. then when i went to my fathers he was more Permissive Indulgent because he let me get away with a lot and i beleive just becuase i didnt live with him. and i of course was a daddy's girl. so coming from both sides i think i turned out good and learned that you cant do everything you want and have to have some boundaries as a kid. If you grow up without a parnet giving you some rules and boundaries then you will just think you can do whatever and whenever you want. so its a good thing that i did because i thank my parnets for it all.

I agree with you. I'm so glad that I had parents that had high expectations from me. There are so many kids that I know or went to school with that didn't have any parent support and made nothing of theirselves. I think deep down every child wants a parent that will take charge and have rules because it shows we love and care about our children.
It is interesting to me that you were raised by two different extremes and ended up somewhere in the middle. Your story is a good example that people can learn positive aspects from each style to be constructive in society, for example learning to get all A’s from an authoritarian parent. I was wondering do you think you would have turned out the same if both parents kept the same style but lived together?
