Dad was a member of our Greatest Generation and always instilled in me a strong work ethic. If start time's 7:00, you be there at 6:45. Be the first one on the job, the last one to leave, and give your employer 100% every day. My kids work hard, and their bosses are glad to have them. My daughter works 4 jobs on some days, three on many, and two virtually every day. Kids learn work ethic by what they see going on around them, and it's often hard to make the lasting impression be what they see from their parents. So many split families these days, so many lost opportunities to make things work for the greater good. When that's what they see, the work ethic definitely suffers. They see their friends slacking off and get the miss guided impression that that's okay. Good parenting doesn't stop at 18, or 21, or even 40-it's a lifelong job.
