[quote=Anonymous]Had one of my kid’s friends over and I just about fell over to see how mature, nice, respectful, and helpful the friend was. It was like a dream, or like I was being pranked. But it also made me so jealous, because I have been trying to raise our kids to be like that, but they are the opposite. Same age but so behind in terms of maturity, manners, ability to hold a conversation. Sometimes I feel like they are feral. My husband is equally handicapped in terms of manners, kindness, helpfulness, social skills, organizational and planning skills, and household help. Is there hope for my children? They also do have great qualities- they are very smart, tenacious, and knowledgeable, and when they want something, nothing will deter them. They are also never mean or excluding on purpose. They enjoy being different and like to challenge norms and have a bit of an activist streak. [/quote]
