Same here with some of my mom's traits. We have made it a point of discussion and for awhile it was very tensious but to her credit she has worked on some things and it has gotten better.
As parents we try to really focus on talking about how we approach certain topics and how we will discipline. If you can't get on the same page as parents, it won't work.
Biggest challenge is the setting we were raised in. I grew up in a town of 600 while we are raising our son in a city of 5 million. There's a lot of differences in that for all of us and I can't relate that to my upbringing, so it does make difference in situational parenting different.
