Mother told us a few years back about somethings she learned about being a parent.
My father's side of the family only knows how to yell at eachother, they love eachother, but just don't get along becuase they can't communicate, because growing up thats how the grandparents were, lots of fighting and yelling.
...so dad was like that quite a bit, lots of yelling and stuff, very angry, I remeber getting up in the middle of the night and I would hear him yelling, angry about something, so i'd go sit in the hallway and listen to it,mom was always quiet, and i'd cry about that.
never knew why my mother never really fought back untill she told us, when my older sister was very small and learning how to talk, she was getting my dad for a phone call and she said " MXXX LXX! telephone! MXXX LXX! telephone!". and my sister repeated it word for word, and my mom realized that we were going to learn whatever we grew up around, so she said she kept quiet so that my dad would not have a reason to continue yelling. he'd run his course blow off his steam, and atleast we wouldn't be caught up in the yelling and stuff. she didn't want up to grow up in an environment where the only way we knew how to talk to eachother was through fighting.
gotta love mom.

i have two boys. one is 5 yrs old, and the other is 2. 5 yr old goes to kindergarden, and 2 yr old is in daycare. 5 yr old is in public school where he picks up lot of things, and 2 yr old picks up things that his older brother says.

the other day, my wife took both of them to doc's office for flu. and she told me thing that happened while she was there...

soon after they went into the doc's office, a new kid came in to the office waiting area. my 2 yr old was walking towards a yellow kiddie chair. the other kid was faster and grabbed it before my 2 yr old did. so my 2 yrs old started talking with his finger pointed at this other kids.. "that's my chair, and you give it back! i'm going to take you outside and kick your butt! and then i'm going to kick your eye ball!"..

Some one once told me that children spend of most of their time learning while we are not busy trying to teach them. Decide what you want your children to be like and be that way you’re self. Since I have had a child I have come to appreciate the value of this advice. I don’t worry about how other people act around my child I worry about how I act and react.

One other thing of value I would add to that though is if you’re going to have a child, get a dog first. I learned a lot about how to be a good parent from raising my dog, but I also I child proofed my house, re-arranged my schedule, and took time out of my schedule in the same why I had to do for a child. Add to that the value of learning positive re-enforcement training and getting a dog was one of the best moves I ever made.
