I am not very tough with raising my children, but you can argue that to be more tough will help your children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Raising kids these days is hard. I'm the second to last child in my family. I think it's tough; I have two kids, I see them and I feel like I see things in them; they awaken the inner child in you.
With the amount of money I have, it's difficult raising children the way I was raised.
I have learned that raising children is the single most difficult thing in the world to do. It takes hard work, love, luck, and a lot of energy, and it is the most rewarding experience that you can ever have.
Raising children uses every bit of your being - your heart, your time, your patience, your foresight, your intuition to protect them, and you have to use all of this while trying to figure out how to discipline them.
If you want plenty of experience in dealing with difficult people, then have kids.
Raising a family is difficult enough. But it's even more difficult for single parents struggling to make ends meet. They don't need more obstacles. They need more opportunities.
I am very strong. When you have children, you have to be.
I have three daughters, so I can't be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids - especially daughters - they know how to work you. They're a lot smarter than we are, that's for sure. But I'll be more tough on their boyfriends.
I think it's very important to teach your children to struggle on some level.
As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.
