re: If your kids don't succeed in life, are you a failure?

What strikes me most about this thread is how the idea of success is framed. First and foremost I want my kids to know God, obey his commandments, and be a light unto the world that helps spread the good news of Jesus. Beyond that (and some of this is covered by it) I want them to be honest, kind, loving, and hard working people. Don’t know what else I can hope for and I will not judge their success based on financial data or academic achievements.
