SI, it's interesting how I, you and Steve have very different situations.

Steve is a single, no kids, has not such a problem at all, I wish I were in his place in some aspects.

You have one or more kids and are struggling with the best way to raise and discipline them, really not an easy task.

I have one autistic kid, where the rules and the concerns are totally different. An average autistic kid (ruling out aspergers) is in between a dog and a human being, behaviourally speaking. He'll never be totally independent. The challenge is to implement the right behavioural therapy and in this aspect I've been pretty lucky to make the right choices.

This also creates a feeling of a particularly strong group karma. I, my wife and my kid are a karmic triplet which is supposed to make tremendous karmic gains by sticking together.

All families are in a way karmic schools.

It is clear that Steve also wanted to create a sort of spiritual family in this forum. I believe he's reaching what he wished. This forum probably will never be a busy one, but it will be one with a strong karmic bond between its frequent users.
