Whether we like it or not, as parents, every single action we take and decision we make affects our children and teaches them important life lessons. How to save money, how to clean the house, how to become good partners–Your kids look up to you for everything, so it's important to be mindful of that when making choices you otherwise wouldn't think twice about.
Take the family in this Reddit story for example about how you should and should not educate your kids. A stay-at-home mom decided that her kids don't have to actually do the chores they've been given, resulting in all three of them simply ignoring everything that needs to be done around the house. That was until the husband and kids' father returned from work to find the house a mess, and discovered they all expected him to clean everything alone. He then decided to teach his kids an important lesson by withdrawing his financial support for the kids and using it to hire a maid instead.
