What did your parents do right/wrong?

Things my parents did right: treated me like a normal person

Things they didn't do right..: treated me like a normal person
didn't enforce my medications (pancreas)
hardly ever did any therapy, especially after around the age of 6
Forced me to get a job before I was done with high school so I would have insurance (as they didn't)
Were heavy smokers in the house until I almost died one year, then they just cut back in the house


All the bad has created all the good though, so I'm not real upset, but I still think things could have done better.

dont overdo the treatment,let her have a life and live a little,ie growing up i was forced to endure around 2.5 hours a day of treatment ie a session in the morning of half and hour ,sessions in the afternoon half a an hour and in the evening half an hour plus a great emaphasis on food and being told to cough all the time,i can say this from experience you do tend to devolop a inferioty complex and feel different from other kids ,
i geniuinly do feel if say my parents would have let me have one day of a month i would of been better socialy in the long term,

put yaself in your kids shoes and imagine how it must feel to have a excesssive medication regime while growing up especially during the teen years,it can you send ya a bit nuts ,i put just as much as importance on the mental side as the physical side


good luck
