Re: as a parent admitting you are wrong/goofed

it is best to be honest with kids today. if they have any gumption at all they are smart. and will find out the truth, internet, etc.

it is best they learn you are human early, so they can accept being human also.

i have a philosophy at work. "at least a screw up, is proof that someone tried."

We as parents have to be able to admit our mistakes and set the example if we are to expect our kids to admit to theirs. Sounds like you got it going right buddy. God Bless. Dave

There is no book to read, no printed rules to follow........ patience, love and kindness are the only things we have.
