I'm not sure if the examples you gave, MM, are very good ones, for all three individuals that you mentioned were, in their own ways, very highly accomplished... :) I think it helps kids if their parents are open minded and curious, and are people of integrity and know right from wrong. I think it is probably very demoralizing for kids to see their parents pull fast ones and lie. Interestingly, my younger son always had jobs since the age of 14 - but the older one always thought that working in all those low paying places was a "waste of his valuable time". (playing day and night complicated computer games, involving a multitude of players, often based on different continents, was NOT a waste of time -g). They were very different, but both grew up into fine men. Their Mom and yours truly couldn't be more proud.
