some children are very different from their siblings, or from their parents

the possibility of such a case, the environment outside the parents who are more dominant in its infancy, the example may be this child when growing more with the caregiver or Babysitter. but there will be certain things that children will follow from their parents, unless the child is not growing at all with his parents

That is so true. Every kid is different, even when raised by the same parents, same rules, in the same household. Everyone has their own personality.

The people that we must deal with on a day to day basis from our birth to present time teaches us how to deal with life. As our morals are a form of learned behavior. “Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason, it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others." Most parent/parents have little to no clue that their child is learning how to deal with events in their lives based on watching how their parent/parents react to their day to day situations. Although there are so many other variables to this equation such as an unwanted or unexpected child that each case is unique. Remember that parent/parents are very much human as well. They grew up with the same learning curves as you have from their parent/parents. Sometimes it's not that they do not care, it's that they do not understand how to deal with another human being.

I'm in the middle of this one. We have 8 kids and there is 2 that have been in more trouble then all the others and us included. Done jail time and all and think the laws dont pertain to them. Meanwhile Im 52 and the only thing I have ever gotten in trouble for was speeding 1 time, paid my fine as yes I was. I was trying to get home as one daughter had broken her wrist. Hubby used to get in trouble as a child, poor parenting on his parents part. Has no been in trouble as an adult. So how do you explain them?

It's true that our kids do learn a lot from us. They also make their own choices. As parents, we do our best, and then hope and pray.

I agree, that's why parents have to be really careful around their children on the actions they do and the words they say. Children would usually believe that whatever their parents do is right, so with this in their minds as they grow up, they'll also act like their parents and the cycle repeats itself. This is not true to everyone though.

I have learned something new from your post and I agree with you. Our parents will always be our role model and our first teachers in life.
