I think you can adjust your style, if you put thought into it. There were things I really liked about my mom’s parenting style (giving me loads of freedom, as long as I could prove I was being responsible with it), but other things that I will try very hard to avoid (like the volatility, criticism, emotional outbursts, etc.). I will say it’s tough to not fall into certain patterns, but as long as I’m self-aware, I try to avoid them.
