[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 535338, member: 6705"] I skimmed the replies, because... Being in my situation I can see some of both. Raven's mom was simply too young when she and husband married and had him. But she did her best by her kids. Raven's not perfect (lead foot = nature, from husband), but he's very calm, listens, etc. Onyxx had rages very young... But Jett, not so much. Now... One, bio was very, very volatile. Also VERY fond of getting drunk. And this is what Onyxx witnessed as a small child. So... Bipolar, rages = nature [I]but[/I] violence, drinking = nurture. Or are they? Jett is more like husband - stay out of the way, head down, glued to a screen, in la-la land. But just short of age 4 he was denied his father quite a lot until age 9, by which time this was ingrained - because he would watch TV or play video games in his room to stay out of bio's, and Onyxx's, way. So - how did he learn this stuff? Not from nurture. That [I]had[/I] to be nature. If it [I]was[/I] nurture, he and Onyxx would be alike. And they are NOT. Yes, alcohol had an effect - on both kids, I believe. So now the actual test - to see how Bean turns out. because there will be a LOT of differences - nature[I] and [/I]nurture... [/QUOTE]
