Hi tant...

I think that the dinner table has been forgotten now a days
So i have my daughter sit at the table with me when and we eat every
meal at the table
I want to show her that family time is not only important but that she
can talk to me about anything she wants
By reintituting the dinner table I feel that she will learn this

Hi miss lovely teddy


purty scarey........

hey u two any morning sickness katie?



hey ya all look happy

mine didn't teach a lot...my dad pulled double shifts, 6 days a week, so
didn't see a lot of him until after he got sick years later...my mom and
5, yes 5 sisters were so wrapped up in their own little worlds...kinda
left me out on my own..values i have learned have come from my own life
experience, and , to the best of my abilities, i have tried to teach
them to my children....still hoping, the jury's still out on that one,

For me it’s the most ironic thing. I am very family-oriented and have
always been my entire life. I was seriously prepared to become a family
man by my late teens and early 20’s. All of my male friends at that
time were not ready to settle down at all, nor did they want kids.

The irony is that every one of them had to get married because they got
one or more of their many girlfriends pregnant. All of my childhood
friends were married with children by the time I was 25. They all
cheated on their spouses, had several kids, and ended in divorce. Most
of them were married several times throughout their lives.

I, on the other hand, never married ever.

Just seems like such a waste. The woman I wanted to marry were too busy
turning me down for a first date only to marry those other guys. The
woman basically made the choice. Not me. I actually asked out two
women (girls at that time) who went on to married my “friends”. They
turned me down for a first date so we never did go out. They have
absolutely no clue what they missed out on. In fact, they actually
wanted to married me later on after they had married and divorced my
friends and had their kids. There was no way that I was going to raise
my friends kids. Sorry, I just wasn’t about to do that, especially
considering that the women had turned me down originally. That was
just a slap in the face that I could not take.

But yes, I’ve always had great family values. I believe in the Walton’s
lifestyle. I took care of my mother in her old age, even when my very
own sister was suggesting that I put her into a home so that I could
have a life! No offense to my sister, but to me, taking care of my
mother was the best possible thing I could ever do in this life.

I’m not one who believes that god has specific reasons for each one of
us. However, if god did have a reason for me it was simply to take
care of my mother. And now that my mother is gone I no longer have a
reason to live. I have yet to meet a woman in this world other than my
mother who isn’t a ***** a completely self-centered. (ha ha)

At 57 years old I don’t think it matters much that I *was* family
oriented. At this point in my life I’m not likely to ever have anymore
family to orient myself around. I’m sincerely looking forward to my
death now. And if that sounds morbid to you shame on you, because to me
death is just the other end of life. I view it as my unbirth and I’m
looking forward to going back to where I came from. This life sucked.
Maybe next time around I’ll be born into a world where there are
actually compassionate people.

I teach my kids very strict family values, as well as manners, morals,
etc.... it warms my heart to hear all the wonderful compliments I get on
how well behaved and well mannered my children are! It makes a momma
proud!!!!

Daauuummm Abra, your attitude kinda sucks today. Doesn't it? Made me
feel bad.

Kat

well he's not in the tub sulking about it I guess.


abra quit it!

I teach my kid manners and to show respect.not that it always happens.my
parents had the "behave or else" philosophy.we always ate supper at the
table,and were well behaved.

thumbs up on the supper table

Very disfunctional family, neither dad or mom had a family life, high
school ed, lived thru the depression & WW II.
Still taught us MANNERS, belief in god, confidence in self & be
responsible for your actions. Emphasis on the responsible.

ok sage then be resposible, when ya give me an indian name

My parents rules vs mine
Don't bother coming home with less than an "A"
Do your best, as long as I know you are then the actual grade isn't
going to get you in trouble.

A good woman will follow her man anywhere.
Not through the gates of hell she won't.

You only date a man who owns, and at least occassionally wears at least
one suit.
You only give the time of day to men that are sweet to you.

You must go to college to succeed.
College is ok for some, but have seen enough proof that it can also be a
total waste of time and money, so do what makes you happy and keeps the
bills paid.

For a start.

One that we both agreed on, "Telling a lie is worse than whatever you
did in the first place. It proves that you knew it was wrong, and did
it anyway. It also means I can't trust you."

Once I do have children, family values shall be taught. I want my
children growing up in a loving home, where the parents teach them right
and wrong at an early age. I have also considered home
schooling.......There's too many things going on in the schools these
days that have made me re-think about sending them. So when I do have
kids, that idea will come to the surface. I also want them to know about
religion.

you are either on to something, or you are on something

:P

Who's on something? LOL
