raise two kids successfully

i’ve grown up in a huge family and my mom did a good job of raising myself and my brother and sister.. but as soon as she got married to my step dad, her parenting kind of went lax.. and we had a lot of problems.. but i don’t regret being raised the way i was. i want to show my future children the same kindness and knowledge my mother bestowed upon us. they’ll know about god [but won’t be forced].. music will definately be a big thing in their lives since it’s always been something huge in mine.. as well as art. they’re going to have a pretty fun lifestyle [at least i hope they think so].. we’re going to see the world and i’m going to show and teach them everything i can.. and how to respect everybody and everything. not only will they be my kids, but my friends. i don’t want them to feel the same kind of hurt i did when i was growing up. 6 years ago
