This is a subject I've been reflecting on recently, my father passed away about a month ago and unsurprisingly I've been thinking about my upbringing. To be honest I can't really recall any strong 'bonding' moments at all, although I do recall spending hours in the garage with him passing spanners etc. as he mended the family Viva .. again. Having said that I don't have any real bad memories either, so overall I'm pretty happy about my upbringing.
For sure I've had moments with my 3 kids that I'll always remember, whether they will recall them is another matter of course. My eldest daughter will certainly remember falling off a step ladder I'd just told her not to climb and breaking her shoulder!
