How Your Children Turn Out

You know it is very funny how your children turn out. You raise them all the same way. But they turn out totally different. I know it has a lot to do with personality but my two kids are as different as night and day. Although i punished them differently because what worked for one did not work for the other. Like my son all i had to do was holler at him. Where as my daughter i had to beat some sense into her. Trust me i did not abuse her that is just an expression. Although my daughter was my first child there are 3 years difference in my children so she had 3 years of spoiling before my son came along. Being my first child i made mistakes with her that i did not make with my son like spoiling. My son graduated from college but my daughter has a 10th grade education. My son doesn't save money but my daughter is very frugal with her money. My son is a health nut but my daughter is sloppy and lets herself go. I would like to hear how different your children are and if they were raised differently.

So far I am lucky I have not had any move back in with me. Besides I don't think my children could put up with my new hobby which is exotic birds. My birds can get rather noisy but it doesn't bother me. Thanks for your responce

My children are not fully grown though, but my 11 year old and my 12 year old are fairly similiar, but they were born just 15 months apart so they had pretty much the same experiences growing up. Both of them are very smart and get straight A's. Both of them are kind of sloppy. My daughter (the first born) is a saver while my 11 year old (middle child) can't keep money for more than 5 minutes.
