Now don't get me wrong I know the old saying it takes a village to raise a child, but that village knew one another! I know that every parent has their own technique and what works for some may not work for others, but I also thought there were standard do's and don'ts! For example:
Don't let your child WALK to a strangers home and stay overnight
Do know where your children are going
Don't allow your child to cuss someone more than a sailor
Do teach your child right from wrong
Etc....
I am not a perfect parent by no means, I have made A LOT of mistakes throughout my 11 years of motherhood. However, I am confident that my children will become productive members of society, they have good morals and values that include: respect, manners, doing kind deeds, being helpful, knowing consequences are a result of all actions, etc. I'm also not oblivious to the fact that as they get older they will test the waters and they will do things that I didn't raise them to do as they set out to find theirself, but i can only hope what I've taught them will leave permant impressions and help guide their decisions.
