Amen to that brother! I have not always followed the straight and narrow myself and I have many regrets prior to the age of 30...but I am older now and wiser now, and I hope to make a difference.

Thank you so much for writing this. Now that the election is over, you will see more about parenting in this day in age on my blog.
My son is the most precious treasure I have. He is 9 months old and the light of my very being. He has made me a woman and a better person and has helped to make my conservative ideals more concrete because his future depends on it.
I worry about his education. I don't have the ability to home school him, as much as I want to. So I will more than likely send him to a Catholic school or private school.
My friends down me already because I have spoken about the strict rules I have planned for Jordan. (Especially when it comes to television, the internet, cell phones, and video games). His education is first and foremost to be his top priority, as should every child's. If we don't make it a priority, how can we expect them to?
I see parents every day on the street outside of my building dragging their children, I hearing them yelling and cursing at their children, smoking while holding them, and I see teenage mothers without a clue or help. (The welfare office is a block or two down from my building).
Parenting has gone out the window because technology is babysitting our children. We are our children's role models and should be above any other person. We must live what we teach so that they have a positive example to follow and can have faith in themselves to make good choices.

Spoken with the wisdom of Soloman
Excellent post Jason. Parenting is getting harder and harder considering our Children are being endoctrinated in so many things we are opposed to. They sure make our jobs harder.
I have a new post that you might want to check out & sign up for. If you like it, help me spread the word.
Have a great day, Jason and keep up the good work.

Bravo!
I have in the following order
a 28 year old daughter
a 17 (almost 18) year old son
a 15 year old son
And a 6mo old son & 6 mo old daughter (twins)
Youa re absolutely correct in the sheltering and teaching aspect that parents must employ.
I can testify to it at every level of age and from the hindsight of actually having an adult child.
There is no substitut for good parenting in God's grace and wisdom.
Keep the faith!

You response brought a little tear to my eye, being the Father of my family, I am not perfect,

Thank You, and God Bless you and you Family.

Thank you :) If you scroll down on my blog there is a pic of the two of us.
I certainly am one that has made mistakes. But as a young and single mother, I can assure you that keeping my son was NOT a mistake and not keeping him was never an option on the table.
We are faced with challenges in our lives to make us stronger. If there is one thing I have noticed about almost everyone I have encountered here, it is strength. I don't see many people here running away with their tail between their legs just because life is sometimes hard. (And we certainly are in tough times with the truely unpredictable ahead).
I for one, will not let my son's teachers be the final word. What he learns at home with ultimately be what shapes him as a person and he is in a truely loving and disciplined home.

I can't read your post. It's all whited out for me. I had this problem on dawndawn's blog too.
I can gather you are speaking about bringing up children in this new age of ours.
We must go back to the basics of good parenting. I too would never send my child, if I had a small child, to any public socialist school. I would send them to Catholic school or home school.
I went to Catholic school where we had ethics, morals, and discipline drummed into us. We learned and well.
I may have missed the gist of your article since I can't see it. I don't get it.
I see yellow and then just white with no post. Yikes.
btw, another new article up at my place when you get the chance.

Thank you for your comments!!
In this day and age, doing anything other that that just does not make sense to me. Our children are in need and it is our responsibility
to do as such.
