I can relate to this. I find myself looking back and wondering whether my anger with my parents' behavior is valid and whether I will end up doing the same things to my son. I realized something, though. The fact that you focus that much on how you are raising your child indicates that you are doing an excellent job, so far. As long as you keep that awareness fresh, I think it will come naturally.
