Who has influenced your sah/woh
| Thu, 02-09-2006 - 2:39pm |
opinion to DIFFER. What I mean is--is there anyone on this board or in real life whose opinion/reasoning/debating/facts started to make your thinking more to the middle? As in if you thought sah or woh was best & then after some discussion/thought, you began to think that whatever is best for each family--really there is no one best way, etc.
We just really needed a new thread here!!!!!!!!

My parents most decidedly expressed disappointment (fury, actually) with a choice of mine. I'm glad that trying not to disappoint them was not a factor in my decision. They very strongly value the tribalism of Judaism and attempted as hard as they could to pass along the value of marrying somebody Jewish. As my Dad put it. "We're shrinking in number and you're making it worse!". I am very anti-tribalism. This value I definately did NOT get from them. It has relevence to this discussion insofar as choice of a spouse is, in part, a sexual choice. And one that I made in direct opposition to their values because I value something different.
So children developing their own values is not necessarily a bad thing (for the children it's not, but my Dad is still ticked).

I will always support my kids, even if I don't always support their choices/decisions as well.

Which brings us back to the question that I don't think snoopy ever answered.
