[QUOTE="CheapJ7, post: 172622, member: 68"] I'm reaching the time in my life where I will be starting A family soon, I've often thought of what makes good parenting and how to make your children do the right things. I'm 24, so looking at it from a sort of in-between perspective. My parents were never, never overly harsh or strict on my. In fact, quite the opposite. I was raised with them exposing me to almost everything the "adults" were involved in. My parents main focus was teaching Moderation. They would point out our friend Greg passed out drunk and puking at 12 in the day and say don't end up like that. They would also say, Its ok to have a beer with friends once you're of age. None of this invite your friends over and "its ok if you drink at home, I'd rather them do it here than somewhere else ****..." That is bad parenting imo. My curfew was set at 10:30 when I was 16, 11 at 17, midnight at 18 then It went to nothing. I guess what I'm trying to say is, What did they do to make me turn out ok.. ( shut your mouth before you respond right here!) I've never been arrested, never had a major wreck, never od'd on drugs, made straight A's in school, Graduated CC and UofA with Honors. go to work every morning, hold a stable relationship, able to save money and work toward long term goals, etc... All of this Amazes me, because it seems these were all my own Independent decisions. I've had every opportunity in the world to mess up, do drugs ( more than bob marley style), knock girls up, flunk school, be sorry.. The crazy part is I easily could have done any of the above and my parents would have still been right there supporting me, hoping I would get better... So after all this bullshit, I believe moderation is the key term here. Just use good sense. Don't let your kids drink at home underage, set some rules, some responsibilities, reasonable curfew, But above that let them live, let them know they can come to you no matter how bad they screw up.
