>>2202266While I respect the Amish way of life, I believe advanced technology has lead to man's downfall, it requires total commitment and by being on the internet you aren't demonstrating that.
>>2202269OP, you know what has worked for you and what hasn't in your childhood. Don't repeat the mistakes of your parents or those you know; you will raise your children to a greater standard. It is about your own experiences on this earth. What a book of advice from even a few decades ago can't be held in accurate representation of current child-raising. It is unfortunate how much things have changed, as stability is good.
OP, the best advice I can give you- and the advice most relevant to this board- is:
don't raise your children in the city
don't raise your children in the "suburb"
They are the same thing, outer-urb expansion- what you think is 'enough out of the city riff raff' isn't.
