Has your upbringing shaped your parenting style?

Not really. I guess it because I know how it's feels like to be brought up that way. I was pretty rebelious and my parents never took the time to know me. It was more authorative than anything else. With my kids I hope that they will be comfortable enough to confide in me even for the smallest thing. I guess you can say I learnt from my parents' parenting style and know what would I like to feel.
