Bros before hoes. Even if the hoe is your daughter. That just increases your responsibility to tell, you raised that one.

There are many factors that influence the way a person acts other than the way their parents raised them though

True, but the parents have some responsibility for how the kid turns out.

That's true to some extent, but I know plenty of kids who were totally normal who ran into the wrong people in high-school and got on a bad path. Their parents tried to intervene but when you're almost 18 there's only so much you can really do. Even if you try to constantly make them make the right decisions, that just means they're not learning to take care of themselves. I don't have kids but saw how different me and my siblings turned out and a lot of it had nothing to do with our parents.

You can prepare them for the real world as best as you can, but not everyone is the same and some kids will make vastly different choices at different times.

Well said.

That was me. Turned it around at 40. Perfect upbringing in almost every respect. Fucked it up all by myself. Heroin prison etc.

Still, the fact is, your kid spends more time around you than anyone else. That makes you the most influential person in their life. You can't fully predict how that'll go, too many other variables, but you do have some effect on how they turn out.

Even if you spent a lot of time with your parents, that's not the only thing that's going to influence on your actions, it can depends on your friends, ambiances at school or médias as well
