I realize that I have a huge impact on my kid's character and rather or not they behave well. However I am not responsible for their nature and their will. I do the best I can to teach respect, responsibility and good manners and such. But if one day my kid goes over to a friends house and throws food then I had nothing to do with that. It would have been his decision. Rather or not I handle that situation properly has an effect on rather or not he does it again. But some of the best parents have children who grow up and get into drugs and things. You can't really blame the parent for everything. I also know people who had terrible parents and the kids grew up to be great adults. Sometimes it just depends on the nature of the kid too.
