[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I both had graduate degrees (MBA's) and successful careers but we never "set expectations" for our children. Instead, we tried to model the kind of behavior that set a good example such as marriage and family being our #1 priority, to succeed you need to work hard, saving money is a good thing, drugs and excessive alcohol are bad, and being a good person has many benefits. It wasn't always a smooth path but all of them have done very well and are now successful young adults with their own families. You can't demand that your children accomplish something but you can set a good example. [/quote]
