I guess the real answer to these issues is that the home be a supportive, disciplined one. What we need are for ALL parents, no matter the circumstances, so take parenting seriously . . . . stop being their children's friend and start teaching them when they are young. Children need to be held accountable for their actions from young on up. This is how my parents raised me, and God bless them for it. I thought it was a tough life, but I am doing the same with my own children. We want to give our kids everything, but what we do when we do that is teach them that they don't have to earn anything. We grew up poor, therefor I know how to budget. We had chores, therefor I know responsibility. We went through tough times, therefor I know how important family is. I think our children are missing out on so much . . . . because we protect them from so much. Does that sound silly?
