Do you instill the values your parents gave you,to your children?

Question

Or are they completley different?

And in what way are they different

Answer 1

No, because my parents grew up in a racist culture, and I was determined not to allow that taint to affect my children.  Also, when I was not respected as a child by my parents, I was determined to teach my children to respect others, regardless of any faults that others may have.

Answer 2

why do people thumb down FACTS??!!

If Snizz says she was raised by wolves, she was!!

TU from me :)

ASk me in the morning, is my answer to The Pots Q

Answer 3

Considering I grew up in an abusive household, I chose to give better values to my daughter than I was giving as a child.  I grew up thinking that being abused by my parents was love.  It wasn't.  

I tried to keep my house calm and without stress.  I raised my daughter on my own after my husband left for the guy down the street.

Answer 4

Of course I did.  My parents installed in me a work ethic, honesty, morality, to be nonjudgmental, not to lie and above all to be true to myself.  I gladly passed those values on to my children and am proud to say that I see my children passing these values on to my grandchildren.  I think it is a great legacy.

Answer 5

Yes, I did & they are now bringing up their own children.

Naturally I adapted some of them to suit the times, but the foundation values were the same.

My children ask for advice & I give advice, using the values I learned.

Answer 6

Answer 9

Answer 10

I think children follow the pattern of repeating their parents' actions, or rebelling completely and becoming a different person. My mom didn't like my maternal grandmother very much, so it was her goal to be better than her mother. But in some of my friends (mostly the girls), I see more and more of their moms in them. I wonder which one I am?

Answer 11

Yes. My parents were honest, hardworking but taught me how to be content no matter what and that life is for the living. They installed good manners and showed me that being honest and genuine is the best way. When I think of my parents, I think of deep respect and loyalty, the spirit of friendliness and always being kind to the underdog........ Their humour was rare and everything they gave me I have passed on to my children and I am proud to do so....... They are a great miss but their love of life brings strength to mine....

Answer 12
