What should we leave to our children?
and how?

I was left nothing, but I made it clear I wanted nothing. One parent held inheritance over my head, the other had a more favorite son.

What kind of parent are you?

A good name should be number one inheritance to give your children. Also, good character passed on to your children is something nobody can steal from them.

'Let it Be' (Sir Paul McCartney's words)

[Pjotr]

What should we leave to our children?

Appreciation of common sense, and a healthy distrust of all ideologies and idealists. Courage to face adversaries and endure adversity, and willingness to help others a bit now and then.

To take responsibility for their own actions. To be "captains on their own ships".

To be fairly good guys (m/f) without exaggerating that. To maintain a reasonably healthy lifestyle, again without exaggerations.

To have fun within those limits. To enjoy life.

and how?

Now, that's a challenge.... By trying to set something of an example, I suppose. Although that's no guarantee, because people make their own decisions based on their own personalities. Children aren't copies of their parents....

My Kids need for nothing, I lived by the motto "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it". They have all grown to be wonderful parents and people. Critical thinkers, all, some of their decisions, I may not necessarily agree with, but, that is their prerogative and their reasoning (to them and many) is sound. When I kick the bucket, I would hope that my worldly goods are shared as they see fit and I am convinced that they will. They have all grown to be friends and my friend, their friends are also my friends, what more could I want?
