Parenting exercise "my mother always, my father never"

From yahoo discussion board: "We had to to do a parenting exercise which involved making two lists each. One entitled "my father never..." "my father always.." and the other "my mother never..." "my mother always..." we had to write down what our parents were like & the good and bad qualities they possessed. When we were done, We talked about what we wrote down and decided together which behaviors we value and which we'd like to change as we raise our child. Which qualities and behaviours did you decide to use and not use for your child & how do you differ from your parents' raising methods?"
