[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just posted about girls being mean.

I have 3 kids and feel lucky to be blessed with such great kids. They are smart, good looking and athletic. I always encourage kindness and tell them how important it is for them to be nice people.

I come from a religious family. My dad is the most moral person and was exceptionally smart. I married a guy who was also smart and kind. DH is the type of guy who is good at everything. He is also trustworthy and loyal and that has worked well for him professionally. [/quote]

If you are the OP of the mean girl thread, you do not come across as nice in that thread at all. You are also weirdly obsessed with kids' looks (yours and, in the other thread, your DD's friends).[/quote]

I literally just wrote that having a father and husband who are both smart and kind is what makes my children great.

DH and I are both good looking and smart. We met when we were attending top grad schools and made three great kids. DH also earns a lot of money so that probably helps.[/quote]

Do you realize how stupid you sound [/quote]

This thread literally asked about having great kids. I have 3 great kids.

I didn’t want to just say DH and I met when we were at HYP.

But you couldn’t help yourself so you came back.  That you met at college isn’t relevant.  It’s what happens once the children are born that matters. [/quote]

Not sure what your problem is. Yes, my kids’ privilege is stacked. They have attractive smart parents. DH earns a seven figure income and he is super hands on and KIND. He is thoughtful and adores his wife and daughter. I’m sure it is better than having a jerk dad who treats the mother poorly or didn’t go to a top school and wasn’t successful.[/quote]

The OP asked if parents here feel blessed with great kids.  What you look like and what your salary is has nothing to do with whether you have great kids.   Where you went to college or whether you went to college has nothing to do with having great kids either.

If you read any books you won’t see high income or Harvard as deciding factors in children doing well.   Parents need to provide unconditional love, affection, compassion, empathy.   Parents should provide support in what the child wants out of life.  Provide them with the tools they need to be happy and to do well as an adult.

I hope your child is happy.

I actually wrote that my dad and husband are smart and KIND. I also wrote we have family dinner, read books together every night, no screen time, etc. also said I was lucky with my oldest and he was born with a wonderful temperament and that I think a strong older brother as a role model is a strong positive influence.

You can choose to focus on the looks, school name and money but as you are pointing out, it isn’t what is most important. I always tell my children how important it is to be kind. [/quote]

Just shut up [/quote]
