Members swathdiver Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 John I've had many of the same experiences with friends and family with regards to our children. From an early age my children have been given chores as a responsibility and held to higher standards than their peers. My wife and I catch a lot of grief and are alienated but those same people are quick to praise the kids and rely on them when things need to get done. As the Scriptures say, they are blind and cannot see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryNumbers Posted June 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 One thing I have noticed, many parents try's to be their son & or daughters best friend, & this never seems to turn out good. When I was in school I knew mother & grand mother were at home, & I never went home to an empty house. In my early years of school I had much trouble I suppose from all the switching around from one home to another home, till just after 5 years of age, & they had to call my parents, they were always there. There's many children that when they leave home for school they have no parents at home, & even face the same thing in the afternoon. Seems to me today many parents put their self 1st & never sacrifice for the good of their children. Back in my days parents would sacrifice for the sake of their children, & that did not mean they spoiled them, it means they were there for them. Some children when weekend comes never knows where their parents are, they're left on their own, while they do their thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
