[quote=Anonymous]Bottom line, know your kids.  There are some for whom this will never be a problem.  There are some who will be, let's say, creative, no matter how well parented.  This is DCUM, so we all want to think it's all about our parenting skills, but there's no denying there is also a component of innate personality and luck.  There are plenty of parents who have multiple children of completely different temperaments despite a common parenting style.  And even if your children are sweet, obedient non-hellions, that's not to say there won't be that one accident or incident sometime, or that their friends will always share their disposition.

Our philosophy: live your life.  If you want it now and can afford it now, don't put it off and deny yourself for 20 years.  That's easy for us to say; our tastes aren't super-expensive and our (only) child has a naturally reserved temperament.

If you're planning more little darlings in the future, and don't know what they'll be like, take it slow--a piece at a time, a room at a time.  Your house doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, daycare or Duncan Phyfe.  [/quote]
