[quote kap]It has been a very interesting read! Thanks everyone for sharing. We are constantly striving to provide the best 'co-parenting'/baby-sitting we possibly can to our lit' cousins, nieces, nephews, etc. and hope that they all will become good-standing adult. If every parent was more conscientious of their substantial influences on their off-springs the world would be a much better place
Well, not always. I know some excellent parents whose kids are total losers. Either mental/environmental/peer/etc. led the offspring astray. It just happens.

You're absolutely right. There are exceptions, of course.

Since I've slept on it, some of the nicest families I know had at least ONE problem/devil child. Who knows why?

Thanks!
I'm a bit nervous, but I'm starting to get more comfortable with the idea of being a dad as the time gets closer.

My brother and his wife are the first time parents. It has been a year now. They enjoy it tremedously. Tho' still nervous trying to be the best parents they possibly can to their adorable little girl. She is a joy to all of us :-)
