Another big difference zing, is that you know when you have gone to far.
I think that it's important that a child sees that, when an adult acts in an inappropriate way, the adult feels remorse. Your daughter can see that you are human, not perfect, and when you apologise she learns a lesson that will help her in her future life.
The sad aspect of these other parents is that they have no grasp of the negative effect that their own upbringing has had on them and the knock on effect it will have on their own children.
