Do you teach your sons and daughters the same values?

Question

What if any are the differences and why?

Answer 1

Well my parents sure did.  Of course the they thought us to respect yourself, always respect your elders, and to always treat one as you would want to be treated for what you sow so shall you reap and what goes around will eventually come around.  But there was so much more than that, my four brothers and I have learned how to cook, sew, do laundry, gardening, as well as do our own maintenance on family vehicles.  There was no difference in what we learned as children, my parents considered us a group and taught what most guys would say was "women's" work to my brothers and educated me how to maintain my own vehicle as well.  Therefore, we would always rotate in the sharing of chores that needed to be done.  As my father said, it is best to be self sufficient instead of relying on others to help you.  Sounds like good advice to me, do you not think so?  =P

Answer 2

I try to, but boys and girls are different, weather anyone wants to believe that or not.  People now days try to generalize and be "fair", but these are kids, and they couldnt be more diverse than night and day.  I have a 12 yr old son and a 6 yr old daughter.  And I do teach them similar things, but not exactly the same.  With my son, I taught him to respect women, and its not ok to get together with your buddies and discuss what its like having s*x with her.  Number one, its not ok to have s*x with her just because you know she will.  Thats called taking advantage of a person.  Yes, she might, and most would label her a s**t.  But she is a child, teens are not adults.  She is a child, and maybe there is something wrong at home that makes her act that way.  Maybe she is looking for affection and thats the only way she knows how to get it.  I taught him to always look at the bigger picture, and to GENUINELY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE.   I also ask him "what would you feel or what would you do if people were thinking or looking at your little sister or your mom like that?  How would that make you feel?"  With my daughter, as I said, she is only 6 so I havent really got that detailed yet, but I teach her to treat others with respect and dignity.  I teach her its not ok to decide little Jimmy isnt her friend anymore just because someone else in the class has decided that.  I teach her not to follow the crowd, to blaze her own way, and that she does know what is right and what is wrong.  And to choose the one that is going to have the best outcome.

Answer 5

If my parents have ever advised my brother who to marry, he hasn't mentioned it. But they usually do this in a joking way to me; they know how I feel about marriage.

The top most basics:

Respect and honor yourself and your family members; throughout life they will be your family and one day you may need them, as well as, they may need you.  I have 3 boys and 2 girls.

Answer 7

Well I have no children, but I teach my students the same values....except I teach the girls to sit with their knees together if sitting on the floor in a skirt rather than "criss cross apple sauce" (aka Indian style).
