parents like to think they have some measure of control over what their kids end up like but they don't. Unless they smother them, which ends up with your kids being more fucked. What % of time do you spend talking with your kids compared to the amount of time they spend interacting with other people? ;)

its true ..
we have precious little time with our kids .. which is why you try hard to build a good base - enforce and reinforce (by example) positive values.
that means a lot of quality time ... and yeah - smothering them often has the exact opposite effect you're looking for.
its scary as hell .. you know your kid will find his own path but you hope that he agrees with your positive message and sticks with it for the most part.
i hope by the time my kids friends take over as the major influence - he'll have the right tools to have picked the right friends..
