    You are responsible for your child. Until they are 18, they are an extension of you. You programmed them. No excuses.

      This doesn’t jive with my life experience at all. If my family could have “programmed” me, I would have turned out very differently. Also all my siblings are wildly different people.

        I guess it depends on the household. I could say my mom did a great job at educating us. My siblings, mom, and I hold very similar values.

        Mine were amazing across the board throughout K-12. That’s why I said in my experience.
