We raise our children to treat people the way they want to be treated and to share their toys with others.
That doesn't happen as adults though. Everyone has their own things and we need to be skeptical of certain people.
I don't force my children to share with others and our main rule is to not hurt your family.
Huh. I raised my children to treat people the way they want to be treated and to share their toys with others. As teens and adults they've tended to cultivate friend groups of supportive, welcoming people. I consider them extended family, and if someone has a need we should be available to help.
The people they're skeptical of are the "I've got mine, fuck you" types.
