Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.
