Motherhood Mission Statement

My husband and I were recently trying to put into words our "mission statement" as parents- what values and morals we would like to instill in our daughter, what kind of young lady we would like her to become, how we define the word "family", and how we plan to encourage and support her as she becomes the young woman and, someday adult, that she wants to be. Here is some of what we came up with:

* We strive to ensure that our children are raised in an environment where the word "family" means those who are always there to provide unconditional support with no strings or conditions attached.
* We want our children to know that it's okay to disagree but we expect that they will do so respectfully and, after their point is made, the case is rested and no hard feelings or resentment remain.
* We want to raise our children to know that situations should be dealt with and confronted directly rather than avoiding the conflict to maintain an outward appearance or false front of peace.
* We expect our children to have kind and loving spirits and to not speak poorly about others, in their presence or behind their back.
* Our top priority is our children's happiness and, even if they make life choices that aren't necessarily what we would have chosen for them, we want them to know that they have made the right decision for the right reasons and that we will support them fully.
* We want our children to be surrounded by those who truly love them and who have from the moment they were conceived and who show it with actions and not just words.
* We aim to enable our children to grow up around those who love not only them but also their mother and father unconditionally as we figure that is the model they will use to shape and mold their own relationships and expectations as adults.
* Our children should be able to look in the mirror at the end of every day and know that they have done the right thing and have made good, honest decisions.
* We hope to teach our children that they control their own happiness in life and that being happy is more important than any material item or possession.
