How disrespectful to these children. Their whole purpose is to live for their family and society. Using empirical evidence, I insist that this is a great way to make many children truly resent their parents. Respect is so very important. Your "right thing" works entirely counter to that. The "right thing" is to raise children who belong to God. In lue of that, you may settle for "realize their full potential" and other such cliches, but _please_, not "bring credit to their family". > my feelings about the abortion/contraception issue is > "if you are not in the game, you cant make the rules." > > same with regard to discussing how to raise children. Interesting. With this you have just told the very children you are trying to raise that they are not entitled to an opinion. You shut-off the most important feedback mechanism on your success. It's unfortunate that my opinion means nothing to you simply because of my age. -- tIM...HOEk OPTIMIZATION: the process of using many one-letter variables names hoping that the resultant code will run faster.
