I never help my kids and I never encourage them and I never give them any advice.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the best thing that you can do with your kids is to talk to them like they're human beings, not like they're children and they don't know what they're doing.
I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
I will say this: one of the things that is a pain when you're expecting children is how much advice unsolicited people give you when you're not asking for it.
My kids are at a point in their lives where I'm a moral compass for them. God help them both.
You have to really respect what your kids are doing with their kids and how they're raising them. You can't push your way into areas where you shouldn't be saying anything. You have to always remember they're not your own kids. Play with them, love them, spoil them to death - then hand them back.
I never did allow anything to keep me from my kids. They're the most important part of my life.
I really feel like because I had my son so young, I didn't want everyone's help. I think people felt entitled to give advice, so I'm always very sensitive to moms and letting them feel their way out.
My kids are free to do what ever they want. Because I only advise. I don't make them do anything.
You tell your kids that no matter what, you set your goals and you go for them. Whatever it is you achieve, never give up. You want your kids to have that good attitude, the confidence, and the will power to believe in themselves.
