[QUOTE="Marbleyes, post: 260745, member: 675"] I personally agree with this statement. The only thing I would add is to teach your kids to think for themselves and don't just raise mini me's. For as long as I can remember I've seen most parents, specifically dads, try to raise miniature versions of themselves. You may think you are so awesome that your kid should be just like you but what you are doing is unintentionally raising a follower. If you engrain the idea that your kid should think for themselves at a young age you will be doing a huge service for your kids to deal with their future. If you try to raise your kids to think just like you, they will most likely spend their entire life subconsciously acting like sheep and looking for reasons to reiterate that "their way" of thinking about issues is the right way. A parents job isn't to be your kids friend, it's to prepare them to be able to deal with the reality of life. [/QUOTE]
