Your kids do not always or even usually turn out to be what you hoped for or expected. Flaming right-wing religious nuts who plan to propagate their ideas to victory should remember that.
What I remember is that long experience shows that more often than not the child departs from the path he or she was told he should go. And not necessarily unhappily, either.
So should socialist far-left wing atheist nuts also remember that kids do not always turn out to be what you hoped or expected
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
D.P. and DeeBerg13 - I can’t speak for NotFromIceland, of course, but I agree that when kids grow up and mature with some experience, they tend to compare what they were taught with what actually works. One of the advantages to being rational and experienced is that you can see and discard the c-r-a-p and keep the good stuff, which beats all heck out of becoming a carbon copy of your parents.

CIA gig notwithstanding, he’s still a self-centered, immature, pestilent slacker.

Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
You remember that!

Maybe the CIA should send him to infiltrate the Blue Circle.
(See Annie storyline for reference.)

And my observance is that when the child gets old enough to understand what his/her parents were trying to teach them they came back and repented.

Roger, but not THAT one, the other one;
Boy, you summed that up really well!
Thanx…
Wish I’d said it that way!

Carbon is the building block of life, so in a sense everyone is a carbon copy of their parents. We just edit out what we believe to be hypocrisy.
