New England is the home of all that is good and noble with all her sternness and uncompromising opinions.
I think you have to be a little bit strict. You can't be friend and their parent in a lot of situations especially in this day and age where it's so dangerous for kids. So there's a bit of sternness I guess in the way I raise my kids.
Love makes a subtle man out of a crude one it gives eloquence to the mute it gives courage the cowardly and makes the idle quick and sharp.
