What is a lesson(s) you have taught your children?

Do not be jealous of ANYONE.  You do not know where they have been or where they are going in life.  Be kind and loving to those around you.  When good things happen to others, share in their joy.

When things go wrong, and they will, remember: "This too shall pass!"

I've taught them not to ever start an argument, but to defend themselves only if they are right.

To think before speaking

To never burn a bridge, it may come back to haunt you.

Never to be too righteous, always look at both sides.

And to listen and love their mom. And they do.  They are all grown up now but they still remember the lessons I have taught them over the years.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Doing the right thing is its own reward.

Bullies are hurting much more than they are able to hurt you.

Grown ups are just people, too.

We all have rules to follow and they exist for a reason--even if they don't make sense.

Life is tough for everyone; try not to be too hard on yourself or others.

A person is much, much more than their achievements or possessions.

When choosing a career, think about what makes you happy first--what will make you $$ second.

Good manners are really just a way of showing others you respect them.

If someone is in need and you have the means to help...do it!

Not everyone will appreciate you, but I think you're the greatest.

Dirty socks do not belong on the kitchen table.

They do pretty well with most of them...except the last one! LOL

Be easy to be around.

Be kind and compassionate to all.

Be the first one to offer your help. 

Class is making those around you comfortable. 

Be a good listener and ask people about themselves.  Talk to older people every chance you get.  You will learn a lot and they'll love it.

"Things" don't matter. 

Travel is the best education...see the world, learn about new cultures and embrace them.  People are people.  Our way is not necessarily the best way...it's just our way.  

Don't say no to fun.  

Live and let live.   

Doing the right thing today will keep your options open for tomorrow.

There isn't anything in the world you could do to make us not love you...it's unconditional.  We are always in your corner, but will let you know when you're out of line.

If you dream it and and then work for it...you will live out your dreams.  You are the best!

Stand when a lady enters the room. 

I can tell if you're lying.

At first you don't succeed try try again

You'll never know unless you don't try

Work hard at what you want to do...or you'll be working hard for the rest of your life.

Work on being beautiful on the inside before the outside.

Confidence!

LAUGH, LOVE and HAVE FAITH!

Your alowed mistakes as long as you learn from them!

Mommies know best!

God & Family first!

Sometimes less is best....unless your talkin chocolate.

Classy is better than trashy

Use manners

Be happy!

You are never a looser if you try

Being someones friend doesn't mean you have to always agree with them

Be your own person, it is more interesting.  It is easy to follow along with the crowd but it takes courage to choose your own path

Being weird is a good thing because it shows that you are an individual and not a pod person

Doing the right thing doesn't mean you aren't fun it just means you have respect for those around you

Mom may not know what you are doing at the moment you are doing it, but she will find out eventually

Don't be judgemental of people, you never know what they are having to deal with

Everyone has stuff they have to deal with, even the ones that seem like they don't have a care in the world

You have to love yourself so that others can too

It is okay to question an adult as long as you do it in a respectful way, just because they are adults doesn't always mean they have all the answers.

Always put God first and everything else will fall into place

Never go to be angry, you never know what tomorrow will bring

Keep laughing!

Keep your commitments

Keep lists

Friends are worth keeping in touch with

Your Mother is always on your side

If you want it, work for it

Being a good cook will lead to great living accomodations

Travel will open your mind

Sex and love aren't the same thing, but sex with love is a great thing

Don't let others treat you with less regard than you treat them

Please and thank you are always appreciated. When accompanied by a smile, they can change the world.

Taught my daughter to be independent and think for herself, and that if she wants something, she doesn't need a male to get it for her!

Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself

Make no judgements of any person

Be true to your friends

I am very proud of my daughter. She is now a fabulous mother. She bucked the "football clique" in high school as one bully knocked the books out of her black friend's arms and told her friend to pick them up (as he laughed). My daughter put her hand on her friend's arm while looking into the eyes of this bully, and said "No, I will do it." And she did.

And, we have a great time together--cooking together and shopping at the thrift stores! We love a good bargain!
