What example did your parent's set

My parents also worked hard but my mother taught us our prayers and read to us. MY father took us out to work in the garden with him so we learned a good work ethic. We had family gatherings with other members of the family so we learned a lot from that too. We were poor but we really didn't know it. We always had good food on the table and my mom always managed to save a little and taught us the value of money and saving. All three of us are successful, happily married and financially secure. We are friends with each other too which I always figure is the best lesson parents can give. My kids are friends with each other too.

Lovely photo of your family btw... and I think that the example that my parents set for me was that I could be anything I wanted to be... the stories I could tell lol!!

To work hard and in the direction of my dreams. To never give up

My parents set many examples. Generosity to others, the importance of an education, save for a rainy day, reading, music, art, beauty in nature, our religion, the importance of family, the value of a dollar, respect for the less fortunate, gardening, cooking, and to take care of our health. I could go on and on, but no time.

Things were certainly different back then. Your parents - and you - must have had a tough time in those days. I'm glad you're settled now - and that is a lovely photo.

My parents did their best - but my mother did the most.

My parents are pretty shy passive people who withdrew from the world for the most part...other than their day to day work life. I would say I am kind of along those lines as well, as is my sister. The apple doesn't fall that far from the tree.

This is a pretty photo Alfredo. My father worked hard all the day, but when he was at home he never missed to teach us to be honest, well mannered and not to waste food and money. My Mom stayed at home, she was the one who taught us to respect the others, to be charitable and to do our homework because we had to learn that we need to work in life.

They taught me so much and set a wonderful example of marriage.

i agree with you.. i more or less set my own way of life

To be responsible, no matter how hard it would be :)

Great photo. My parents set the example of getting educated, working hard, being frugal and being involved in the community.

What a lovely family you have there! Sure you parents set a great example, you can survive even through the rough times! They taught you to be independent even if they did not exactly say it. My mamma taught me a lot of morals, to be good to people, to have an open mind, to explore interests and to be passionate!

My parents are typical but I can say they can be the best parents i could have ever got..:)

great photo amadeo Im really grateful that my mom and dad tauight me good manners and the golden rule as I have seen manyh who have not the foggiest idea of good manners and will slam a doori in your face or shove yo u back into the elevator when You' are trying to get off with your walker.. rudeness seems the order of the day here n the retirement center but thank Godless some do have good manners and help others here. another female resident and I saw an older resent fall out of his wheelchair and four people just stood there .I and the other r youmg lady helped him back into his wheelchair and asked him if he hurt anywhere. He just really overbalanced and slid to the floor did not injure himself at all.

My parents taught me the important of saving money. My mother worked and saved money for twenty years and that was used to put furniture in their home when my Dad retired the first time.

Both my parents were excellent role models. I am glad that they were my parents.

They taught me to work hard, earn my own money and make my own decisions.

Awww, beautiful family! My Mumsy set me the example of how to love unconditionally and always forgive. My Father set an example of how NOT to be. :)

Intelligence. Love. Hard work. Independent thinking. Respect and honor. Honesty. My dad was witty and humorous, too. A good provider. My mom is brave and knew her place in the home as mother and wife.
