Weaknesses
Pops and I often discuss this topic, and now I propose it to you...
Should a parent make their weaknesses known to their children?

I agree. I think some weaknesses are better for thier children not to see. For example a women standing in front of a mirror pinching her belly in disgust, a women weighing herself in front of her daughter. We have to teach our children to be confident.They will learn thier self esteem through us. And if we show all of our weaknesses they will show up in our children. I know I learned a lot of my weaknesses from my mother. If we pick ourselves apart they will too. We have to teach them how to love themselves and we do that by loving ourselves.
I would agree with what hath been said. I would add also, that sometimes disclosing a weakness can comfort a child. For example when time has passed and children are not children anymore, hearing that their parents overcame something similiar could give strength to a depressed child.
