**Pray for piety. Pray for the gift of strong and abiding love for family, Church, community, and nation.**
I was taught to put these in priority order in my life.
God, (Church)
Family
Country (community)
Job
Business
Other
Anyone else?
I would say my parents had other priorities other then raising kids. But we did go to Church and patriotism was taught. My dad was Catholic and wanted kids. My mom was not Catholic and never really wanted kids. So... we kind of raised ourselves mostly. I suspect that this is the case with a lot of people my age. Parents were more into themselves and we were just there.
