"Some people's most valuable role in life is to serve as a bad example."

3. I've made some doozies. I take heart in that I've learned from them.

But those mistakes have also made me more apt to opt out, rather than opt in, to certain situations.

2. Describes my dad to a T

I learned how to be a man and father by doing the opposite of what he did.

7. The same with my mother

The bad examples in life serve to make us acknowledge and appreciate all the things and people that are good. I made a conscious effort to not raise my children the way she did. Now I'm seeing that pay off with my grandchildren.

4. Red Skleton's Freddie the Freeloader did an episode with that theme.

I remember it well. Sadly, I was not able to find it on YouTube. It was a memorable episode. The upshot was that Freddie the Freeloader performed a public service by being someone that parents could point out to their children as a warning. Like all the Freedie the Freeloader episodes, it was very heartwarming.

5. You say that like it's a bad thing

I consider it more of a goal
