Parenting

My life at the moment isn't exactly planned out and what I do have isn't in stone so I'm not making any promises here but if children are ever in the mix I have a few ideas and idealogies I would like to use in raising a child. Something my mother ingrained in my head since I can remember is the phrase "treat others the way you want to be treated." I personally live my life by this motto and I will deffenitly pass this mentality on. I would also focus on teaching my child simple but meaningful mottos that hopefully shape actions and reactions in life. I will also raise my child on karma because thats how I live my life. Lastly and most importantly I will try my hardest everyday to be the best example for my child, no matter what anyone teaches the greatest lesson is being shown. Hopefully I won't have to deal to much with discipline but I will probably make my child do more cleaning around the house and not be able to go out one or two nights. I think extended grounding doesn't work and just created tension and stress. Overall if I do have children I think i'll be a good parent showing my child the beauty and lessons in life that I can.
