Sure. In situations where parents have more experience link e.g. traffic or super markets. But not where children have comparable experience like creating or getting away with some mischief. Some parents remember their own childhood. But for most of us this lies in the dark before memory or before the significant restructurings during puberty.
I model my daughter's creativity in this manner upon my own. It's been a pretty reliable model so far.
Possibly you are more experienced than the average parent at creating and getting away with mischief. This is probably a good thing, actually, since most people are far less mischievous than they should be.
My mother is most heartily enjoying grandmother's revenge.
