[quote=Anonymous]Agree with one of the original posters about empathy and knowing the rules apply to us. We are not special snowflakes who get to do whatever we want. However I also want my kids to know that I love them for who they are. I don’t want to push expectations on them that they have to fill a certain career role, gender norm, or whatever. I’m genuinely excited to see who they become and will encourage them to explore a variety of interests. Also, I know when they are older I want to make sure to know who their friend group is and hopefully know the other parents. I’d like to be a house where people are welcome to come over. It annoyed the crap out of me as a teenager that my parents were all up in my business regarding who I was hanging out with, but in retrospect it was so important. My kids are 3 and 5.[/quote]
