[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone is flaming OP but I worry about this too. I never blame my kids for things they can't help but I am very strict about things that will affect them socially and academically. Neither of my kids are popular, athletic or gifted. [b]So I crack down on rudeness, "shyness" that is really just social laziness, sloppy schoolwork that I know can be done better,[/b] gross things like nose-picking, and so on. I also don't let them watch YouTube or have unsupervised Internet access. I feel like a mean mom but I have multiple male relatives who fell into the underachieving video gamer trap.[/quote] If your kids aren’t attractive, smart, or charming, then constantly “cracking down” on them won’t help. If you were prettier and smarter, they’d be better off. You will, however, buy some lucky therapist a vacation home. [/quote]
