bad parents

Are we the only bad parents around? Or is it that only our children are misbehave? Or is it really that all the other children are indeed angels? Else is it that the rest of the parents are actually angels in disguise?

I don't know what would our children be thinking of us as their parents when they grow up - verbal abusers? Physical abusers? Emotional monsters? Illogical monsters? Arghhh, it is really physically and mentally draining trying to cope with them.

I used to think my parents are monsters, too, typically my mom, guess because she's the household disciplinary teacher, no one is to go against her wishes, and no one is above her martial law. Her words are always the final one, irregardless of whether it is reasonable or not, not that she care though. 

Now, as a parent, I tried to be reasonable, giving all kind of explanations on why some things cannot be done, and why some things need to be done. But all fell into deaf ears. I felt as if all the efforts are going down into the drain, and it only works when the kiddos are being threaten.

Jeez, this ain't right, but what went wrong? I feel like burying myself in the pillow and scream my head off. What the hell is happening?
I can swear, all day long (and even night), you will only be hearing shouting, screaming, swearing and crying from my house, while the rest of the houses on the street are as quiet as an empty shell. Gosh, are my kids the only monsters on earth? Or, jeez, are we the only monsters on earth harming the innocent souls.

Parents' life with kids, is really ain't easy.
