[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time a conversation regarding SAHM vs. WOHM, the behavior we model for our children, etc comes up, there seems to be an unspoken but agreed upon assumption that the big decisions we make as parents will impact who our children will be as adults.  In some respects that is a give: of course who we our as parents will influence our children's lives.  But we never discuss the crucial component of FREE WILL.  The biggest determinant of our children's future is our children themselves.  They will be the ones to decide whether they want to go to college, grad school, what kind of career to pursue, whether to SAH, etc...And most of those decisions will be made based on their fundamental personalities--something we don't have any control over.

I guess my point is that a Steve or Stephanie Jobs is not made--they're born--and unless you're a parent guilty of abuse/neglect, there's not much you can do to prevent any child from becoming who their personality destines them to be.[/quote]

Absolutely! PP, you took words from my mouth.
