[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 519068, member: 439"] No child is perfect. Some that "seem" that way may have difficulties in other areas. Some parents that brag constantly may be doing so to make up for other deficiencies. My goal was to raise self sustaining adults (self sustaining means they have A job, not a multi-million dollar salary) that contribute to society (contribute means they don't make things harder for others). That's it. All the "good" things were just icing on the cake, and we did celebrate them in our home, but we didn't brag and I certainly took no credit for any of them. One step daughter has yet to get the "self sustaining" part, and I doubt she ever will. The others are living on their own, work, and that's about all I can ask. [/QUOTE]
