[quote=Anonymous]Yes we are very lucky and I do not take that lightly nor do I think we were perfect parents.

We moved to MD on purpose when our oldest was in second grade from a crappy public school system in NC . I realize not everyone can do this.

Best decision we ever made.

Things we did well learning education is important above all else. Not just book learning experiences with your children from volunteering to traveling , reading every thing and any thing, libraries are amazing places so are book stores. Listening to your kids . Phones are not diaries social media is not a diary they are tools but as a parent I owned  them my children did not. Respect for all humans you don’t have to like everyone but you treat them like you like to be treated. You have great teachers and shitty teachers great bosses and terrible ones. Children must learn how to do things themselves. They can do laundry and cook and clean their own messes put gas in a car have part time jobs.  We never gave our kids chores or paid them for doing them. We taught them to help as a family and it was rare they complained.

I also realize money helps tremendously.

Keep your kids out of church it’s just a scam. Teach them about comparative religions so they understand the world view. Traditions are what you make of them. We had our own family time mine are all grown now and do those traditions with their families.

We weee very lucky to not have mental illness or learning disabilities etc and I recognize how extremely fortunate we are.
