Some can be too demanding - or not demanding enough - which leads to problems.<BR/><BR/><B>Nursemyra</B>: They better... or else. Kidding, of course. Thanks, my dear. I hope I live up.<BR/><BR/><B>Travis</B>: My philosophy exactly. Cheers to you too!<BR/><BR/><B>Citizen</B>: Maybe something along the lines of you made them do a little too much gardening -- which they enjoyed anyway!<BR/><BR/><B>Dean</B>: My God, Florante at Laura. I haven't read that since high school (when you were just a twinkle in your parents' eyes). Very apt passage.<BR/><BR/>And congratulations on being featured over at IB. You truly deserve it. Keep on writing (though I don't need to tell you that!).<BR/><BR/><B>Marky</B> Thanks! And no, she does not. Thank goodness.<BR/><BR/><B>Sidney</B>: Our views on this topic may clash, but I respect your beliefs. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Bond</B>: That's what their dad and I try to let them know and feel. He and I don't push them to get no stinkin' medals (though we're happy for them when they do receive such awards).<BR/><BR/><B>Kiyotoe</B>: Baby dragons with your wit and intellect...go have 'em already! (With the Counselor's agreement, of course. Ohh, wise and witty counseling baby dragons!)<BR/><BR/><B>Matt-Man</B>: I'm glad this post touched you. That our kids do their best, that isn't an unreasonable thing to ask for. (By "our" I don't mean that we begat any together. Though it's possible we could have a cyberbaby together someday, I suppose. But I get to choose the name!)<BR/><BR/><B>Free as light</B>: Of course I remember you. Welcome back!

I just want to know that he did his best whether he gets a great grade or an average grade.<BR/><BR/>And if your kids say:<BR/><BR/>"My mom, Lizza? I love her madly, but when I was growing up, she made me want to..."<BR/><BR/>There is nothing wrong with that. I would only be upset if they said, "she made me feel like I HAD to."

And if we said we did, that was enough for her. If we didn't, she'd suggest that we work harder...not to get the award, but to make sure that we had done our best.<BR/><BR/>I think I prefer that approach. It helped me understand that I didn't need to be the best. And while I was trying to do as well as I could, I found that I was a good student and learned very well.<BR/><BR/>So cheers to you!Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-18729002614576317392008-03-30T05:51:00.000+08:002008-03-30T05:51:00.000+08:00they'll just say "I love her madly"there won't be ...they'll just say "I love her madly"<BR/><BR/>there won't be any "but"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-46521502899131204492008-03-30T01:25:00.000+08:002008-03-30T01:25:00.000+08:00Typo ...

Though they're happy whenever we receive awards or certificates pero they don't give a rat's ass too. As long as we perform well in school and learn all the good virtues instilled in us --- they're happy. The constant reminder that my parents always give us is that education is for our own good and it's mean to help us in the future. They are really stern when it comes to responsibilities. B/c of their advices my siblings and I take heed of everything and try to perform our level best. <BR/><BR/>(:Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30666117.post-85829260537815064052008-03-30T00:47:00.000+08:002008-03-30T00:47:00.000+08:00DaddyP: Let me be the judge of that. :-)TB: I hope...<B>DaddyP</B>: Let me be the judge of that. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>TB</B>: I hope so.
