You can try not to but your still going to

We all say "I am not going to be like my parents when I grow up". Then you slowly but surely over the years begin to start becoming like them in a lot of ways. I have seen people that looked nothing like their parent when they were young yet when they got old they even looked like them. As a parent you pass on everything you do so do Your kids a favor later in their lives by choosing carefully what you pass on.
