Good Morning World!...
Sharon and I had a long discussion on different styles of child rearing...it left her feeling like I was not in her ball park and she called after she was finishing her walk...and wanted to make sure I was not upset... I wasn't upset at all...just wanted to interject that I had a childhood of not being told to do chores at all...and she knew how to do chores out of living on a farm....I learned the hard way..and see now I could have been a much bigger help to my mom growing up...Mom and Dad were wonderful parents and didn't worry about the stuff that could get wrecked...so we were hard on our stuff...and they never put higher importance on things and made us feel secondary.
I don't really know if how I raised my chilren was like that or not...but I do think I thought of chores for them to do...and always let them have fun...I know I was determine to do things different....my way and try to teach the kids lessons along the way...Mostly I wanted to teach them too have fun and play and do their work also...that is a tough balance to find.
Our discussion arouse from discussing grandchildren and how they are expected to know their duties...and that is where our thoughts came from... It was a good hearty discussion..
Well, must get stuff done so enough chatting at the sky....Have a wonderful day!
Hugs & Prayers,
BJM
