[QUOTE="CatDaddy, post: 132022, member: 755"] Anyone want to raise my kids for me? Kidding, wanted to start off light before I got deeper than I should on NDA..... I had an in-depth conversation with my 10 and 6 year old boys regarding empathy....putting yourself in others' shoes then acting according to what we learn from it first. Really good talk, understanding from each of them in a different way, and ultimately agreeing that we are good people who strive to do good things. I was proud of my oldest today when he dang near got in a fight sticking up for a friend being bullied during football practice - and he was confident when he said "if it was self defense, you'd stand by my side and defend me" and he fully understood the meaning of it. In the end he handled it without intervention by coaches, without a fight, and set it straight with the bully that it was done as of NOW. It was how I was raised. Seems common sense. Why do I keep running into kids these days who don't get it? Am I off-base in expecting parents to teach life lessons that are meaningful? Believe me, this isn't me tooting my horn as a great parent, but instead really struggling to understand the behavior of Millennials......or is there something I'm missing? I think I know the answer, but curious to others' thoughts...... [/QUOTE]
