assignment 8

My mother and father were and still are authoritative. I say this because there were definitely rules that we had to follow and stick to, yet we were shown plenty of love and care. Also, if at some point I were to have broken a rule, they listened to why I did so, and allowed for my feedback as to why the rule was broken. However, most the time I still wound up with a punishment, just never and extrmely harsh one. At the same time that I knew I were to stick to my parents rules, I always could come to them if I had a problem, and they would should care toward me to help me work it out. My parents were never neglectful of me, and I always knew how much they loved me. I'm thankful to this day that my parents chose to utilize this parenting style as opposed to purely authoritarian or the polar opposite of permissive indifferent.
