[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 565531, member: 11791"] CJ... If you're up on the latest management techniques, you'll know that negative job evaluations are a major cause of additional problems at work. NONE of us responds well to negative criticisms. Critique my work, sure. Provide a balanced picture of strengths and weaknesses, along with some ideas that might help, sure. But... a blast of negative? just feeds more negative. Protect your wife from the kids' rants? sure. I'm on-side with that part. But... if you haven't given your children the values and skills they need to "succeed" in life before they are 25, the are NOT going to get them from some negative email or letter or family meeting. And no, paying big bucks to private schools does NOTHING to prepare them for real life. Sorry. Sounds like "rich dad" syndrome to me... he "spent all this money" and "isn't getting enough back". Your kids are not a financial investment. They are a human investment - you give YOURSELF to the raising of your kids. Can't say for certain that he didn't do any of that, but I'll guarantee you he didn't come within a million miles of my husband on that front. [/QUOTE]
