My parents never really outright taught us things or discussed things. It was more like learn from example, or get in trouble and then get dealt with-there was no real pre-defined expectations really. Unfortunately there was a lot of bad examples that were a bit difficult for a kid to figure out, but for me I think it worked out fine in the end. I'm OK with myself and I'm tolerant of others. I learned how to work very hard and I have a sense of duty, service and such. I'm protective and affectionate with my kids, which is one of the things I lacked from my parents as a kid.
