What kind of role model do you make for your children?

I'm not sure which lessons I teach my children are the ones they will learn from-face it, we won't know until they are adults. I believe we all are good role models most of the time, but parent's aren't perfect, we all do a considerable amout of damage to our children at some point. I know a lot of people disagree with me, but if 90% of people reflect on their childhood they can find flaws with what their parents did in something.

I believe we all try our best to be the best we can be to our kids :D

I see a lot of people are saying they teach their children religion, and thats cool for some parents. My family is a mix of different cultures (interacial) and beliefs, so my children learn all of them and have the ability to choose what they want to believe in-9 out of 10 commandments can be followed by any man of any faith, they are the basics for human conduct,

I gave birth to my first child when I was 15 and so firstly i hope she doesn't follow in my footsteps as early as i did.

I hope that my little girl will grow up believing in herself and she will appriciate others and not look down on them, that she will be successful in what she aspires to do and to be happy and healthy for the rest of her life.

Although people immediately think Teen Mums = Bad Role Models and i agree, theres nothing worse tham having your baby daughter have a baby of her own - but at least we rose to the challenge - we showed compassion and strength through the fact that we didn't leave our children for other parents to pick up the pieces.

I am trying desperately hard to show that we're not all bad and that some of us are trying very very hard to break out of the stereotypical rut that we live in day to day.

me and my boyfriend live in a small 2 bedroomed flat that we OWN therefore we are not costing the tax payer any more than anyone else who has children.

Last of all i would hope that my baby girl grows up to have lots of opportunities that she can take up with great strength and responsibility and has a happy healthy life, surrounded by friends and family.

Basically, I just want my children to grow up and be good people. I teach them to be polite and respectful of ALL people. We try not to force our opinions upon them but let them decide things for themselves.

I try to teach them my beliefs in god and i try to teach them how to respect and if i happen to explode i will try to do it somewhere else, yes i am a good role model

Well hopefully they will learn how to scam the govt system like I have for years so they dont have to worry about work.

Let them choose their own religious path or beliefs. Integrity, don't let women think they are better than you just because they have things handed to them at times. Eat right, do not pity the obese for what they can help. Fat people aren't people. Respect their elders and ask many questions throughout life.
