Lessons I want my kids to know

1. Don't be a follower...be a leader

2. It is NEVER acceptable to bully someone or make fun of them...treat EVERYONE like you would want them to treat you

3. You can and will achieve anything you put your mind to

4. Just because something is hard doesn't mean it is not worth doing...it just means it might take a little longer

5. Speak your mind, your opinions and thoughts are just as important as anyone elses

6. Friends will come and go but your siblings will be your best friends for life

7. We might not always love your behavior but dad and I always love you

8. If you are dumb enough to do something illegal and get caught don't bother calling me...I will NOT bail you out

9. It is okay to make mistakes...sometimes they are the best lessons

10.Learn to save your money...instant gratification isn't that great and it stinks to be broke

11. Just because your friends are doing it doesn't mean you have to do it...think for yourself

12. No guy respects a girl that is easy to get with...be with someone because you love them, not just because you can

13. For Addie... dressing slutty only gets you negative attention...leave some stuff to the imagination, guys prefer that

14. Always have a good work ethic..school, sports, job...give it 110% everyday

15. There will be times when you don't like me and dad...and that's okay..when you get older you will realize that we are ALWAYS right

16. At times you might think we are being mean but really we are just looking out for what is best for you

17.Study hard and get a good education...you might not always like it but it will be worth it

18. Words can really hurt people so watch you you say even when you are upset

19. Always tell the truth. It might be harder than lying at times but people respect you more when you are honest

20. The truth ALWAYS comes out eventually so lying is a waste of time

21. Drugs are for idiots...you aren't idiots so don't do them

22. In a time of need you will learn who your real friends are

23. When it comes to food try everything at least once..you never know what you might end up liking

24. Travel..see everything, meet different people, learn different cultures... it will really open your eyes to the world

25. It is better to fight with words than fist...anyone can hit someone but not everyone is smart enough to use their words
