I feel like I'll never want to have kids because I'd be too scared of being a bad or apathetic parent.

Ah, yes, OCD.

parents trying to keep the home livable and keep kids on schedule were probably dealing with their own issues; where do you think yours came from?

I don't say that in a mean way, I simply assert - having seen both sides of the coin - we're all going through our own shit.

This is the explanation my father tried to give me. He had a bad father so he was a bad father. True, he had it tough, but it's on you as an adult to treat your own children well

True. Growing older callouses a person and every year makes it harder to remember how much harder it is to get through shit when you're young.
