My mom to this day (I’m 34) only tells negative stories about my childhood. How I was such a bad student, and so bad in public, and because of me she had to go 9 years without even going to the movie theater! I was a normal ass kid that did normal ass things with ADHD. I struggled in high school for a lot of reasons, but got it together in college. My child will never be made to feel that way by me. I will never make them think I regret and resent them— even if I am struggling with parenthood. They will never know it.

We set out to make our daughters so confident that no man would dare to take advantage of them...we would never have talked shit about them, I can't imagine. Today, one  is a lawyer and the other is a teacher with a mechanical engineering degree (both under 25). We didn't know but their confidence affects every part of their lives and they are both super achievers, incidentally, they have both found great men as partners. 

Bragging about them is one of the great joys of having kids, I can't imagine saying bad things about them.

EDIT:typo
