[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 576422, member: 11791"] Children learn what they live. If husband agrees with the bottom line being these traits... then HE needs to LIVE it. Consistently. It's always tempting to try to "make" our kids to be better than ourselves. But, while we might enable them to be more "successful" than ourselves, we cannot [I]make them[/I] better than ourselves. (If they grow up and choose to better themselves, or if they have other high-quality people in their lives, great... but it doesn't work to live half way up the mountain, and tell the kids they have to make it to the top) [/QUOTE]
