[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 656860, member: 1550"] Our kids almost never turn out to be who we tried to make them be unless they are afraid of us. Most walk to their own beat. Sometimes it is admirable. Sometimes it isn't. They see more than us. They are in school. They look at their peers. They watch television and get ideas. They have the internet. And there is that very nasty but potent DNA that makes some adopted kids act and think exactly like their biological parents that they often never saw in their lives. Or like the sperm donor that Son hasn't seen since he was five. He still carries his lovely genes (50% of them). Ugh, I know. You didn't raise your son to be this way. But he's this way anyway. It's not your fault. His brain wiring did not accept the messages you were giving him. Instead he was not taking his upbringing seriously. But you tried That makes you a good parent. We have zilch control over the results of our adult children unless we beat them with a leather belt every day. Most are more DNA than their environment, which can be painful. [/QUOTE]
