I once asked my husband why he thought we'd ended up with 3 kids who always think they're right about everything and never admit to being wrong or back down. His answer was "that's because they have 2 parents who are never wrong about anything!" I couldn't possibly say if he was right or not!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805509603176943176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-77974421455678838472012-08-26T04:41:42.090+10:002012-08-26T04:41:42.090+10:00Your last sentence sums it up - I keep saying the ...Your last sentence sums it up - I keep saying the exact same thing around here!!! <br /><br />Have a fab week hon.<br />Leah<br />xLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245743010825956078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-36204385558534481832012-08-25T08:25:12.834+10:002012-08-25T08:25:12.834+10:00I think its great for kids to be confident enough ...I think its great for kids to be confident enough to hold their own. Why shouldn't the grown ups have to justify their actions and words (irritating though that can be at times!!). Funny though, that my three boys are from the same set of genes but all very different - one sensible, confident, outgoing but not especially flamboyant, one a real home boy - practical, able to chat to anyone at the age of 21 still thinks a wild night out is a trip to the pub, and the third is my shy/extrovert (I know thats a contradiction but he kind of is!), sensitive, tempestuous boy! Not aware that I treated them differently, maybe its to do with family position as well as genes? I don't know. I do know they were all energetic constantly questioning kids and have turned into good adult company now. You'll never be lonely with 5!! xSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869694240743414050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012472518273957917.post-29755586125502339892012-08-24T22:26:53.909+10:002012-08-24T22:26:53.909+10:00I was telling my dad about how I tended to apologi...I was telling my dad about how I tended to apologise for DD1 when grills strangers and he said tough, they are grown ups they have to learn how to deal with kids.

Nature or nurture? Both obviously. It's funny how my husband and I raised four kids ostensibly the same way, and each still has an utterly distinct personality. Actually, thank God for that. They're people, not robot clones, after all! Have a nice weekend!JCDiTarantohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314973706190624394noreply@blogger.com
