[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate your post as the parent of three kids (2 bio and 1 adopted). I am always trying to detect whether the differences among my kids are motivated by nature vs nurture. Our kids have their differences, but I want them to express their differences in terms of sibling rivalry rather than "you don't belong in this family." That would hurt and I don't think that our adopted kid would ever forgive or forget. It hasn't happened and hope that it never does. So far the differences appear to me to be based more on "normal" sibling rivalry than anything else. But in this time where we have many different faces of family, we want to be extra careful so that each of our kids feels part of the family, regardless of whether they turn out to be Republicans or Democrats.[/quote]
