I just can't imagine Kelly (being like Michelle) talking softly to her kids when she is correcting them. I think she speaks up loud and clear. Like my Mom would. You get the kids attention quickly that way .I can't imagine Kelly smiling all the time either.. She always speaks her peace to her children. She doesn't hold a thought back. I remember how she tried to prepare Michael when picking out a church for her wedding day. With It may not be available .And you must think it out. Kelly is differently a good role model and a excellent mother. And she raised good kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-23150464185064450792015-09-02T19:12:35.135-05:002015-09-02T19:12:35.135-05:00Going to school, and sitting behind a desk takes d...Going to school, and sitting behind a desk takes discipline. Being able to accept being there, takes will power. Doing homework assignments takes patience. Giving up your fun, is denying self of pleasures. Looking at it, I think Trace can do it easily. He has discipline, he does have will -power, and he definitely has patience.

But remember when we were young, life was easier, much easier, because you could get more for your money. Not now. Now you work and you work and you have little to show for it. You go into the super market and afterwards you look at your receipt and you are astonished. It can make you frown. Trace, be a wise fellow. Be smarter than the rest of us, go to school and plan for your future. When we were younger you worked in a company like the rest of your family did and think only of the day when can retire. You save your money through the years. And things worked out then. Now you cannot trust in a company to last, and not go under. We have seen it happen in recent years When that happens, what do you got? Where do you go at 35, 55?! At that age you have a family to worry about. It's scary. Trace, be smarter than us. Go to school. Make us proud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-90361220905767015862015-09-02T18:38:49.400-05:002015-09-02T18:38:49.400-05:00I come from a small family and I find such deli...I come from a small family and I find such delight in watching the Bates family.

I always got the impression that Kelly took care of all the kids.

Michelle had stated in their book she did not attend a church when she was a child. That doesn't mean that things didn't change. But Kelly's father was a preacher and Gil often speaks about his Dad with fond memories. The families are different. And Gil was really involved in his kids lives. I loved how he spoke about Zach as a young boy. He had loved going to the trash dump, just to be with his Dad ! I loved it !
