Yes, my daughter was obsessed with the Little House on the Prairie series, I read them the entire series when they were too young for chapter books, which then led to other books, and 'field trips' to museums and such. We even went to "Little House Days" in Mansfield MO. Definitely gained a lot of perspective for how tough life was for the early pioneers. Those people would laugh at how soft we have become today, myself included, lol.
We did our best. They are both independent adults with spouses and good jobs, but neither go to church and my daughter is a full on leftist. Of course I still love them fiercely and pray for them every day.
Oh my daughter did for sure. She and her hubby both got the first 2 and she screamed at us that we were going to 'kill her grandmas' by being around them unvaccinated, which she did later apologize for but shuts down the minute the topic has come up since. My son never bought into any of the fear porn but he and his now wife (who is a nurse and did not question the shot and refuses to talk to us about it) had booked a cruise for their honeymoon after their Sept 2021 wedding. If he did not get the shot he would not be able to get off the ship at any of the ports and would be restricted on the ship. So he caved. He has assured me that he has gotten no boosters since, and his employer never required the shot.
I love when our children can be our greatest teachers! It is all fascinating !

You exemplify a great parent Donna!

Keep praying! Train up a child…Your example will always speak volumes to them.
