Further to my thoughts on influences (previous post) - I've been wondering how much does ones own upbringing influence ones own parenting? And if a same sex parent has a greater influence on their same sex child/ren then ones own relationship with their same sex parent may have a greater influence on their parenting?
What I mean is has my upbringing and relationship with my mother had a greater impact on my mothering relationship with my child than my relationship with my father?
Of course people will see both "good" and "bad" parts of any relationships and try to emulate the "good" and change the "bad".
I'm sure there is a whole part of psychology I could go and read about all of this. If only I had the time.
