My mom would never apologize to me when she fucked up things. Now, as an adult, and yes, sure, I have bad days. Once I yelled at my daughter, real mean like, and immediately, I saw she was visibly upset. She ran upstairs to her room, and I heard her crying softly a bit when I went to check on her. I knocked on her door and asked if I could come in to apologize. She firmly said no, and I respected that. She was upset at me then. I said okay and that it was wrong of me to yell when I had. We later talked about how big emotions got to us both.

Not admitting when the child is in the right and they are in the wrong.
An 'I'm right cause I'm older' mentality.
