Were you an easy child for your parents to raise?

Did they ever have any difficulty parenting you effectively?

What is one thing you think your parents should have done differently when raising you?
 
Were you an easy child for your parents to raise? I have actually been told by my mother that I was the easiest to raise of her three sons. I didn't get into a lot of trouble.

Did they ever have any difficulty parenting you effectively? Probably, I have a lot of intricacies and bizarre behaviors inherited from other members from my family. I don't think that I ever really gave that much trouble in-general. I have always been very polite, relatively quiet, and never really got into a lot of trouble at school.

What is one thing you think your parents should have done differently when raising you? I never really had a stern father figure to help me whenever I was younger. My mother did a tremendous job, but there were a lot of times where my social-anxiety really took its toll and made things difficult for me. While I may have kicked and screamed, the right thing to do was probably have a psychologist or a therapist work at trying to pinpoint some of my problems whenever I was young to keep them from escalation. Especially after my father left, that probably left a lot of abandonment issues for me. I was also cut off from others for a long time, I wasn't allowed to roam very far from the house or go to my friend's houses until I was around ten. Which may seem reasonable, except when you consider that they were only a couple of blocks away, and we live in a small village.

I can't complain, really, everybody has their faults, and my mother really did have to work her ass off to take care of me.
