Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.
