I'm impessed with how capable your kids are. They will be ready to face the world when they leave the nest.Kate Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953496065873807659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348927352171051173.post-2926303238074265852011-01-25T13:23:30.163-04:002011-01-25T13:23:30.163-04:00Its really interesting for me to watch my kids int...Its really interesting for me to watch my kids interact with the kids they know who have never been expected to do things around the house. My kids don't always want to be doing things, but they accept that it is a responsibility, and part of being a family. <br />India came to me last week and said that she was worried about how one of her friends was going to survive when she is on her own. I was surprised that there were so many kids who could not complete basic chores out there.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171996698927828247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348927352171051173.post-75761726505876464832011-01-25T11:22:56.906-04:002011-01-25T11:22:56.906-04:00I think it helped that we homeschool, so exposure ...I think it helped that we homeschool, so exposure to the average teenage attitute was kept to a minimum. They had many friends coming from like-minded families, so that was a big help as well. When ever my husband had an opportunity to involve himself in a volunteer work day, he always brought Erik along so that he could be exposed to other men with good work ethics, who were also working for the Lord.Kate Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953496065873807659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348927352171051173.post-71103027421227829242011-01-25T10:20:48.971-04:002011-01-25T10:20:48.971-04:00I love this post!
