...or is, if you're a minor. lol or if you're the parent, what's yours? does it differ from your partner's?

My parents weren't gentle, but they also weren't strict to the point of being abusive. My dad was the lenient one, but my mom - man, when she was strict, she. was. strict! she preferred me to ACE a test or assignment rather than just PASS, and she was very restrictive when it came to sensitive topics like sex and profanity. I remember there used to be a radio segment on (what used to be) my local pop/rock station called "What's in [deejay]'s Fly", where he had something in his pants and we had to guess what it was with hints. That segment would air every weeknight at 10, and my mom would NOT let me listen bc... well, whatever he had hidden was down near his man parts, hence "fly". She would legit march into the room, turn the radio off, and tell me to go to bed. I mean, 10 pm really was my bedtime back then, but sheesh! I think it wasn't until I was 19 or 20 when she finally let me listen to it.

That's horrible, I'm so sorry to hear that.

there is a very good poem called "This Be The Verse" by Phillip Larkin

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
