[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m interested in the nature vs. nurture thing, particularly work ethic. Dud XDH, his mom and two siblings all lack anything resembling a work ethic. I could tell stories, but I don’t want to out them. Suffice it to say, none of the three kids is really financially viable, although two of them hold down jobs at least. My parents and sibling are really hard working. My DD has an amazing work ethic, attended a top ivy, has won merit scholarships to grad school, and so on. It’s hard to get DS off the sofa and at 25 he’s definitely not able to support himself. What does DCUM say? Did I parent two kids completely differently? Is there something genetic going on? I’ve googled the heredibility of work ethic and studies say different things.[/quote] I think it's genetic. Just like one child inherited your grey eyes and the other child inherited your DH's smile. Our thumb prints are on our children in more ways than we realize. [/quote]
