[quote=Anonymous]Both DH and I committed to
- working on our marriage and giving a well functioning home life and a warm loving family to our kids. We waited for a long time before having kids. 
- being healthy for our children, being frugal for our finances, being present to give them security
- prioritizing their education, sitting with them each evening to help with homework, reading to them, supporting them according to their needs and ability. 
- creating a network of family and friends. Giving time to these various relationships so that my kids have people who look out for them. 
- guiding them in their interests, dreams, hobbies, abilities, education, career
- helping them by paying for college and further education so they do not have student debt
- helping them with whatever we can afford to give them = wedding, car, downpayment.  Letting them live with us for as long as they need to. 
- helping their spouses and children - babysitting, education, support. 
- being self-sufficient as far as finances are concerned so that they do not have to be burdened if they have to take care of us. 
- treating both kids equally and fairly. Loving whoever they choose to marry and respecting them. Being equal in loving grandkids.  
- dividing property equally. [/quote]
