Name one good thing and one bad thing your parents did to you in your childhood.

Also, is there something you would do better if you had children? Or maybe you already have?

 

 

Good thing:

They forced me to learn the violin. I first loved it, then hated it (they wouldn't let me stop "because I already started"), but now love it again.

 

 

Bad thing:

They are both from traditional, religious families so talking about interactions between men and women has always been a taboo topic and when I became a teenager and my mum started to nag me / make fun of me for mentioning that I did some stuff with girls, I became very closed towards this topic and even started to avoid girls in school, starting from age 12 or so.

This played a big part in my life of becoming a Bernd.

 

 

What I would do better:

I've got a problem with my eyes, and despite me saying that I do neither need any special tools in school nor any big printed versions of our work sheets, my parents did not listen to me and made the teachers treat me like a special snowflake which lead to bullying, obviously.

I will take care that I will not do something similar to my future children and teach them what I learned against bullies.
