Some children are taught by their parents on what to do and what mindsets to have in life, whereas some children use their parents' wrongdoings as an example on what not to do as an adult. “Nobody’s Son,” by Luis Alberto Urrea, shows the effect of bad parenting on a child throughout adulthood. “My Ecumental Father” by Jose Antonio Burciaga and "Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan, both show the effect that good parenting has on children.

Ulterior Motives : an analysis of Olga Khazan’s “No Spanking, No Time-out, No Problem” Any parent can relate to having at least a few, if not a plethora of, instances they can recall their children exhibiting some form of problematic behavior.

In The Glass Castle, Rex and Rosemary Walls can be categorized as permissive parents. Rex and Rosemary’s parenting style is permissive because they approach their children as more of a friend than a parental figure, they do not discipline their kids, and they have few demands expected from their kids. The Walls parents act more of a friend than a parent to their kids due to their easygoing nature.

I submit to power when it’s easier than resisting. If I don’t feel inconvenienced by the power that is being pushed on me, I find it easier to not fight back because the effort of resisting would not be worth the outcome. I adopted this mindset during the time when rules were being enforced by my parents. Throughout my life my parents have enacted many rules for my brother and I, from eat your vegetables, bedtime at 9:00, get good grades. Having been repeated for years, these mantras have been ingrained into my mind.
