Folks,
I am going to say something that you probably will only understand after 10 to 15 years.
It is VERY EASY and VERY HARD to be a good parent.
One of the KEY is are you a GOOD PERSON??
Children LEARN MORE from observing what you DO versus what you SAY.
If you get into a car and fasten your seat belt every time, it is EASY to ask your kids to do the same. But, if you do not do this all the time, they will not follow your order to fasten seat belt. Ditto on many many other subjects.
If you are NOT hard working aka "curi tulang", how could you convince your kids to work hard???
YOU are the ROLE MODEL. You have to earn the CREDIBILITY to convince your children. They see and observe YOU everyday. So, they LEARN from YOU by your action and inaction.
Be a GOOD PERSON is a one of the key.

P.S.: If you are a smoker, please give up smoking or else do not be a parent.
A) How could you convince your children not to smoke if you are smoking??
B) If you do not care about your health, how could YOU take care of your children??
C) How about second hand smoking effect on your family??
My father died of lung cancer at 49. He was a smoker. My mother had to raise 6 children on her own.
i like what you've written. i had become a mom since last year and finally realized it's not easy to be a good parent. i feel bad when i recall how rebellious i was during adolescent period. the good thing is, my parents never give up on me... really appreciate this I am going to say something that you probably will only understand after 10 to 15 years.
