[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 576459, member: 1722"] IC~ Ive given up on Duckie being "nice". There's a song in the Broadway show "Into the Woods" with the line "Nice is different than good. I'd rather work on core values. Some of the best people I know wouldn't be considered "nice" but their actions and behaviors speak for themselves. That's more important to me and a more realistic goal for Duckie, she's better at being a good person than a pleasant person or someone who is easy to get along with. husband talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk so much. I just spoke with her this afternoon about the gifted math program she'll be teasting for soon because I want to make sure that she is not doing this for me or for husband. It is too big of an undertaking to do it for anyone other than oneself. I'd hate to watch her try to please her father by doing college level math when she'd be just as happy being a regular kid.
