Your childhood sounds similar to mine and I am very thankful to have had that solid foundation. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.<br />Hugs and Blessings, cmCelestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800160462094633117.post-50206250004907669242015-09-09T08:11:47.801-07:002015-09-09T08:11:47.801-07:00I think that the world is an incredibly hard and u...I think that the world is an incredibly hard and unforgiving place for those who don't have money. It's a disservice to children to be coddled too much and then expect them to grow into adults who will be in socio-economic bondage. What I mean by this is that most of us will have to work to make a living. We will have to support ourselves. So having this as a mindset and that you won't be able to hide from this responsibility is important.

We also learned the value of education and hard work. I feel the love and respect my parents had for each other also played a big part in how we turned out. yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800160462094633117.post-715985301349136212015-09-04T08:24:21.952-07:002015-09-04T08:24:21.952-07:00Loving words from parents certainly do build confi...Loving words from parents certainly do build confidence. I think there are other factors at play with some of these shy young people, though. They're probably introverts, and because most of their communication is on devices, they just don't know how to talk to a human being who's standing right in front of them.Sherry Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844837212122243321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800160462094633117.post-22812598058409307572015-09-03T22:23:17.938-07:002015-09-03T22:23:17.938-07:00Fantastic post!

Here, all parents adore their kids and treat them like little princes and princesses. They don't teach them to do a job well or be responsible and certainly not to be kind or considerate of others. The big smiles tourists see are a facade that hides greed and selfishness. I'm all for the shy, unconfident one that does the work. Not many of those here though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7800160462094633117.post-57417104168147908892015-09-02T10:30:35.681-07:002015-09-02T10:30:35.681-07:00You have a wonderful and reliable gift of love and...You have a wonderful and reliable gift of love and confidence from your parents.
