Bless you. Yes. Yes! Ethnicity, culture, religion, parenting - to some point it has nothing to do with how you were raised -
It's one thing to raise a child to be tough and assertive. Or to indoctrinate a kid with "turn the other cheek" and unconditional love and forgiveness (aka, floor mat). It's still another thing to send into the world our adult chidren as well-adjusted, kind, hardworking, productive citizens with a sense of decency and fair play.
One thing my kids never saw me model: sass and rudeness to my parents/elders or pretty much anyone.
I did model floor mat.
Still working on that one! Niko and BOUNDARIES.... set boundaries without slamming doors and excising a person like a cancer from your life....
