Congratulations, wonderful but the most important question, are they going to Heaven and are you going there by extension?
Riding or Push Mower ?
I was given a pair of scissors for any blades that got missed.
He ain’t wrong. 23 and me is a bunch of con artists, conning people into giving up their DNA, and YouTube censors and cancels what they don’t agree with.
So yeah. At least 2 horrible people.
Translated into Hebrew, that would make a cool Israeli special forces unit motto! :)
But please, share your humble brag about how to raise children.
Never heard the term before.......
Helicopter parenting refers to an overprotective and very
involved parenting style. Just like a helicopter hovers, so
do these parents. They typically involve themselves in all
aspects of their children’s lives, sometimes to the detriment
of the kids.
I am very upset that I failed to produce hundreds of peer reviewed articles that helped get me millions in federal grants because I obeyed my masters....
;-)
I have been reading the author Rick Bragg recently. He grew up in Alabama in grinding poverty, but eventually made his way to write for major national news outlets. He wrote his first book, All Over but the Shoutin', about his mother and the great sacrifices she made for her children, in no small part because of her unwavering Christian faith, so that they would have better than she had.
After it was published (and he had bought his mother her first ever house), an interviewer asked him about the scene in the book where he convinced his mother to come to New York City to see him receive a Pulitzer Prize. While she enjoyed the experience, it was not because of the affluence of the city, her son treating her to fancy meals, or staying in a fine hotel. It was because some of the people she met were kind, or interesting to her. She was not much impressed by the Pulitzer Prize.
"What have you ever done that has impressed your mama?" the interviewer asked.
"Not much, yet," said the author, Rick Bragg, with ironic humor. "If somebody would ask her what was the best day of her life, she would probably say it was the day her first child was born. My older brother."
Rick's older brother is a local contractor who lives near their mother in Alabama and works with his hands.
"She would have loved it if I had settled nearby to her and had my wife and children there for her and the family to be with," he said. (Or words to that effect.)
Values. So different from one person to the next.
That is true. In a very real sense, the job is not "raising children", but to raise competent adults.
Where is the success exactly, apart from the cardiologist? “CEO” is a highly overblown and overused title. Youtube is a fascist-owned and operated site, the other I’ve never heard of . I don’t think this mother is especially qualified to give advice on raising successful kids. One fascist, one CEO of nothing and three RBF feminists. Give me a break, they’d be of more value to society in a fatal car wreck.
Talking about things medical how is Jim doing?
Sometimes they are irritating as hell. ;-D
Testing her got results, but rarely pleasing to us.
She was Irish, raised near the docks in St. Louis during the depression.
Spoken like someone who doesn't have a clue.
I TOTALLY agree with you. I just find it very condescending she explain to us how she raised such great kids. Good for her, but what she did are things I assume most parents do for their children. I guess we’re just not smart or enlightened enough. That was how I perceived the article.
