“A father’s responsibilities to his son are outlined in the Talmud, Kiddushin 29a. According to the text, a father is obligated to circumcise his son, to redeem him if he is the firstborn, to teach him Torah, to find him a wife, and to teach him a trade. Talmudic scholars added that a father must also teach his son to swim.”
Basically all i got done was all of them are strong swimmers, but especially the oldest. the rest is on them…though i’ll do whatt i can…within limits…
but all this anxiety about status and schools and money…its kind of focussing on the “teach him a trade” clause..except it’s not teaching hima trade…more emphasis needed on torah, swimming. finding a good wife…also, honoring thy father. that s just so important….dont want the poor little tyke to feelguilty later on for insufficnetly honoring me…
