It was funny, but thought provoking at the same time.<BR/><BR/>I agree a nickname like "Scamp" is hardly going to be damaging. <BR/><BR/>In our house I am the one with the "great" parents, and my husband is the lucky winner of truly crappy parents. And I think you are right, that my standards for myself are sometimes too high. The good thing is, he is here to balance me out and remind me how good our kids have it. <BR/><BR/>I also appreciated your point about not necessarily being able to "teach" your kids certain qualities that essentially boil down to personality. My oldest son struggles with internal motivation, my younger son is highly motivated. Same parents. Same basic upbringing. What can you do? They are just different.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974863353397119167.post-69777311998921481272007-10-05T07:57:00.000-07:002007-10-05T07:57:00.000-07:00Exactly.
