The wife raised this daughter. Mothers are the most influential person on their kids especially girls. So she learned what she learned from mommy.

That is very unkind and indefensible. Many good and concerned parents have children who are not successful or not good people. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. While good,involved parenting improves the chance that the children will become virtuous adults, it does not ensure that result, nor does neglect ensure a selfcentered criminal.

Actually, my parents have always been screaming lefties.
I Thank God that I rejected my upbringing.

It started when I read Atlas Shrugged when I was 15 years old. I have been steadily moving to the right ever since then.

Yeah, maybe. About 10% of kids will excel with the worst drunken abusive parents imaginable. About 10% will turn out as human trash despite loving parents who raise them in ever correct manner.

That leaves the 80% in the middle that parents can indeed influence.

not necessarily from mommy. college peer pressure and indoctrination can easily re-trained your children into people you don’t recognize. seems dogs have it right with progeny...pop them out and go your separate ways. once they’re weaned there’s no responsibility or guilt over how they turn out. in other words if your children suck, walk away and let them. do it for YOUR peace of mind.you won’t change them.

Don’t agree. I have a child that has gone over to the dark side. Sure didn’t learn that from me.
