Mine are dead, but in terms of things I tried to do differently with my kids, as a mom:
Did not just put them in whatever school and figure they’d be fine.
Tried to be more physically affectionate, with varying levels of success.
Tried to be encouraging.
She was a good role model in a lot of ways but was not very mom-like at all, and we were just too different to really get along, My dad I got on with much better, but he died when I was a teenager.
What do I think my kids find difficult about me? Stubborn, I would guess, and the older ones suffered when I stayed with my ex too long, I am sure that they must resent me for not leaving sooner, his anger he took out on them not just me.
