My dad told me one time, if you teach your kids excellent core values before teenage years, they will always come back to those values. I think all kids when they turn 18 have the know it all attitude. They want to move out (thinking life will be easier and much more fun) let them move....but almost a possitive..that door will be a revolving door. My kids are now 28, 27 and 24 (all boys), all married and the 28 year old has 2 children, the 27 y/o has 1 child and the 24 y/o just married last Sept and no children yet. Now when they call and say Anthony just did this or that... we laugh..and say...oh we remember those days... The 28 y/o suffered from severe ADHD so he was more of a challenge.
