How to raise a wayward child -- Parenting Nightmare

My ex-colleague emails these 'tips' to me on parenting nightmare if your child is not raised properly.

How to raise a wayward child

a) Never have traditional family activities that your children look forward to.
b) Always prefer material pursuits to family activities.
c) Never correct your children. Always assume that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
d) Always pick up after your children; never give them any responsibility.
e) Never listen to your children; talk at them, not to them.
f) Always solve your childrenÂ’s problem and make their decisions for them.
g) Never give your children any meaningful spiritual training. Instead emphasize religious ritual, outward appearances.
h) Warn your children of the danger of drugs while you are an alcoholicgamblerlIr.
i) Continually tell others what great things your children are doing – and always expect them to win.
j) Never let your children experience cold, fatigue, adventure, injury, risk, challenge, experimentation, failure, frustration or discouragement.
k) Disobey the law in front of your children and tell them by your attitude that the laws were passed for everyone but you.
l) Never eat together as a family.

You might not agree with some of these parenting tips. For me, I do not think it is inappropriate to tell others and boast of your children great things. And what is wrong about expecting your child to win and become champion?

IMO, never eating together as a family is surely going to lead to family problems. Not just parenting issues, it may lead to broken marriages.
