NCEA Results - high expectations a bad thing?

[The Reibz]

My guideless (stubborn determination is what others call it) in life for my kids is
1. Stay out of trouble (no convictions)
2. Stay off the drugs (there's plenty of legal alternatives)
3. Don't get pregnant until you can support the child

According to your guidelines 95% off all the people I know or associate with are completely fucked. Including myself.
As far as legal alternatives to drugs go, trust me friend. You don't want your kinds becoming addicted to alcohol, just go ask my mother what she thinks of me after a couple of beers...

And with rule number 3, technically 99.9% of the country shouldn't be allowed to have kids

And me which is why I don't want my kids repeating my mistakes.

She is at the age of experimenting with crap so if she is going to experiment, at least it be with booze which is legal and sticks to "guideline" point #1. And booze with moderation. Not an 18 pak of crap codys - but try things like different wines, boutique beers etc. Hopefully teaching the good side booze (if there is such thing) - thus the enjoyment with family/friends and to compliment meals.

Once my son is 18 - I will be teaching him the various Whiskeys and avoiding the sins such as using ice.
