I don't think I would change anything really. |

I have had a very good life and I wouldn't change anything in it. I suppose I could wish my Mum was not so 'victorian' and was more demonstrative/affectionate. And not so straight laced. However, I know she loved both us girls as did my dad, she just didn't show it so much when I was a child. Following on from that and having seen how children are brought up now (excluding those who rule the roost but meaning how calm my Grand daughter in law is with her little one). I look back and I know I was not good with mine, I copied my parents, I was quite strict and expected them to 'obey'. Which they mostly did. And to be fair, they have never complained since and we are very close. Just in my head I wish I had done better. |

I think that we all look back and think 'what if ' but if we did change the past we would most likely still look back and 'what if ' . |

Shirley.. You did what you thought best for your daughter at the time. When you look at her now you know you did a good job bringing her up |

feel the same as you Shirley - think I was a bit hard at times - I love him to bits, he's my life and I'd die for him, but I just couldn't cope |

Andy Mum.. There were so many things that were just not mentioned in the '50's and as I said earlier it was unheard of to just live with someone that you weren't married to. |

all in all I'm pretty satisfied too - think I could have been a better mother - was too wound up and tense - lost three babies and when I eventually manged to get one I was over protective and a bag of nerves - not a good frame of mind |

I would have kept my parents married, at least until we were all adult. |

That, I agree with Lynda you seem to be able to cope with all that gets thrown at you. |

Just to add to my post, "I think if you are loved, especially as a child, and you can give love, that's you sorted for life" |
