What are the things your parents did that you will never do to your kids or future kids?

I won't spoil them too much. I was never "grounded" for anything. Not because I didn't do anything worth being grounded for but I think my parents just wanted to shield me too much from any form of suffering--which is a good thing but as an adult I realize that they were lacking in the "tough love" department. They meant well but I think I needed a stronger hand to be more disciplined. I'll push my kids to be more assertive, too. And to not be afraid to speak their minds, even if a topic seems odd or taboo.
