assignment 8
I think my parents raised me mostly through the authoritarian parenting style. Punishments were physical up until I was a teenager and there was no discussion of rules or my thoughts about them. My parents did show some characteristics of authoritative parenting though. They were responsive to my needs and I wasn’t afraid to ask for anything. I think my parents mixture of styles was both good and bad. While I understand boundaries and am responsible for my actions, I am a little more dependent than maybe I would be if they had taken the authoritative approach in all aspects.

Sounds like you had a littler harder childhood up until you were a teenager. I am sure there were good things to come of it. All parents are different and I believe if you are here in college and being independent by living on your own, your parents had to have done something right!
