[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 447281, member: 1991"] There is another important part - what parents will promise to do for the child. It should be self-evident, but sometimes when drawing up a contract (and that is what this amounts to), you need to state the obvious. Parents will feed, clothe and house the child. That is a legal requirement. Parents will ensure the child has access to the education they need and will work actively towards equipping their child with the skills they will need for an independent, happy, productive adult life (the goal of all parents, surely?). Anything else is a bonus, but whatever else you do, write it down as a promise, your list of what you must do. That way setting a list for the child looks a lot more equitable. It is also further indication that we as individuals are also a fragment of a society, we have to learn to cooperate and work together now, so we can continue to do this through life. Marg [/QUOTE]
