[quote=Anonymous]OP, for me, your tone is a bit jarring. First I have to say I STRONGLY disagree that Americans have a poor work ethic. Have you ever worked overseas? Americans are known for being hard workers. Also, I don't approach child rearing as a series of "demands". We have standards, and guiding principles mixed in with all of the other stuff that goes into this un-trained thing called parenting. My children are doing well partly bc of my attempts to give them a loving home and one where ideas are exchanged, time is spent well, time is wasted, responsibility is demonstrated, humor reigns supreme - all of it. They are who they are also because of their own selves. They are doing well also by the standards I'm guessing you might use as your measure. I love who they are. I don't find demands work. Maybe that works for you. I don't think anyone responds well to that. [/quote]
