Do we take time out to actually rear our children or are we so occupied with business, social or other activities that we let them more or less raise themselves?

Have our own lives been in keeping with the standards ' that we now desire our children to live and uphold, or have ' we done things which gave license to our children and ' allowed them to think they can "get away" with things that are not right? Are we living at home in such a way as to promote harmony, peace and happiness, or are we doing those things which make home unpleasant to our children?.
