Yeah, I don't mind people changing. But at least, I'd like to have the choice to raise my kid the way I want without having to battle society and wife's pressure at all time.
I handle social pressure just fine, but pressure from the wife is a whole different ballgame! The secret is consensus and give-and-take from both sides. Don't make the mistake of putting that pressure on the kid, they need the freedom to discover things on their own. You just have to show them the way.

Wise words. My wife is the most caring, generous, and gentle person when it comes to our kid. Yet, she was shocked herself last time how suddenly she got angry because of how he acted in public. God forbid the kid does not behave the way society wants him to behave. Good she is very good at self-reflection, too. It was harder on her than on him, in the end.
