[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’ve raised a terrible, self-centered boy who will be a terrible, self-centered man. The key is to have set schedules and expectations from when they are born, such as [b]the family all eating dinner together every night [/b](normally, home-cooked by dad or mom) with no electronics. We also had expectations that the >16 kids be home after school or sports and check in with us before going out again. And going back out would be unusual on a school night, especially with differentiated and AP classes requiring a lot of homework. Did you at least ensure that he is immersed in character-building activities when he’s out after school, such as working toward and Eagle Scout rank, or competing in athletics, or playing in the school orchestra?[/quote] You don't have teens, do you? This is impossible in a lot of families due to sports and other extracurricular activities such as theater and marching band. [/quote]
