We raise ours much the same as Gypsy explained.

Drinking is no bit thing to them as we let them try it with us, I believe once the mystery is taken away the feeling of excitement about it goes too.

We are very open about sex because we want them to be prepared and knowlegeable when the time comes.

I believe we have installed a sound knowlege of right and wrong and good morals also.

When the time comes for them to go and be away from us I will worried sick, but it will be about others, not what mine do.

I left home at 16 to do my apprenticeship on the other side of the country and I had a fantastic time.

I also learned a lot and could see the difference developeing between myself and my friends who stayed at home.

And I am still here so I must have done ok.
