Subject: Re: Anarchist Parents


mebbe ys have already been here, but, as usual, i'm willin to offer my
two bits worth:

we Goaters have over the years developed a child rearing system that
stresses three things in no particular order o ascendency: familial
solidarity, clan loyalty, and individual responsibility.  allowing for
individual parent and kid quirks, i'd say it's worked pretty well as far
back as anyone can recall.  

yep, we've had some black sheep -- me included -- but i dont recollect
anybody ever deliberately hurting their famly, or bringing the Clan into
disrepute, or blaming others for their problems.  in this day and age
that aint all that bad.

one thing i learnt early on as to my own kids:  if i dont take credit
for their triumphs then i dont gotta take the blame for their fiascos. 
this attitude helps me sleep summat better; the 3 AM heebie - jeebies --
when they occur -- be purely my own.
