My mother never told us the bad about herself until we were older and could understand better. She would tell us anecdotes about her and her friends from the "good old days" but every story had a lesson associated with it. Wisdom is learning from other people's mistakes, and I can just about guarantee that your children will learn from some of yours. Parents aren't perfect, and they're better flawed, in my opinion.
