Has your upbringing shaped your parenting style?

Yes. I love my mother's superb patience on me throughout these years. Although she beat me using cane on me when I was really rebellious, I doubt she used it more than 10 times. I wish I can be as patience as her when I am disciplining my own children. However, I will not repeat some approaches that my mother has used e.g. never ask me to do housework :) For me, I wish to raise independent and responsible kids since they are still young instead of waiting until they grow up, starting with simple housework since young is a good start.
