Making your mark

Michelle
Wondering how everyone is going to make their mark as parents. Do you foresee a big difference on something compared to how your parents raised you? For me: 1: no damn smoking, it really seriously affected my health as a child and 2: not doing Santa Claus with my little boy. My husband says 1: no Santa Claus, 2: allowing our son to have friends over at the house which he never got to do as a kid.
