If nothing else, you have an example of what you don't want as you create your own adult life. As you become self supporting and get out on your own, what kind of life do you want? How will you treat others? If you chose to have children how will you treat them? Your parents defaulted, you can make conscious choices to be different.

I want to be able to do things with my children, and also clean up around the house instead of making them do it all the time and never wanting to do any work. I understand that a child should work and clean up, considering that you are in your parents home, but all the responsiblity shouldn't be on the children. the parents should do something other than telling the children what to do all the time. And thanks for commenting, your comment really made me think hard about treating others how I want to be treated.
