You have to just do the best that you can with what you have. That's how I've raised my son. Sure I look back and think, well, maybe I should have did this or that. But we can only play the game of life with the cards that we are dealt. :)

Just remember that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree",, and I'm a good apple!  :)

Echoing Tom and Paul, Wendy.  Our Sailor is # 2 of four sons......  We tried to lay the foundation upon which the person (in this case, man) will be built.  Through God, family, dedication, commitment, education, common-sense, and good will, the storms were weathered and tribulations managed.  Our eldest is 31 - youngest 20.  So far so good.   Take advantage of those teachable moments; be positive; be strong; be supportive; and be a parent.  Your son will thrive and become the man with common-sense who will know in his heart the correct path (s) to choose................

   I have always believed that you lead by example. Are there pitfalls along the way?....of course....but use those moments to teach. Children learn mostly from their parents and immediate family. They watch how a Husband treats their Mom....and vice-versa. Show them the way...life experience will teach them the rest. All you can do is lay the foundation.....

You do the best job you can and you try to instill a set of values in your kids....all you can do is to be a role model....if you treat them with an attitude that some people are crap then guess what....they will grow up with that as their role model....is that something you want?
