Actually, that was the last line of my post, earlier the same day, so suppose I should intercept all flak directed at adrianh.
However, I hope if you go back and read my post with the comment in context, you'll understand the reason for the comment.
I am the example to follow ? I sure as heck hope not, for if all convert and become like me, we are surely doomed. Apart from "variety being the spice of life", I have a loooong list of faults and quirks that I wouldn't even wish on my enemies, not to mention on my kids.
But my remarks and comment stand as my beliefs, feelings and opinion - we want our kids to inherit our basic levels of manners, ethics, etc, not someone elses.
So (again) : If you don't spend enough time with your kids, you can't complain if they turn out like someone else ......
ps .... general disclaimer & suffix to quote : , that's if you want them to be remotely like yourself, and you actually don't want them to be like the other person / people that you sent them to, to spend all the rest of their time with.
crikey, this parenting stuff's getting more complicated by the day. Hope we don't have to defend the amended statement and add additional terms, conditions and clauses to opinions.
