Glen Antoine Palmer, on his site The Gentlemens Standard wrote a powerful article espousing the idea that we are all witnesses—and specifically, that the actions our children witness us do will have a profound impact on them. He lists ten things his children will see him do. I definitely agree with this, and in the spirit of Rules for My Unborn Son I would adopt these as my own:

1. Going to work
2. Managing finances
3. Cook
4. Affection towards spouse
5. Affection towards own children
6. Dress
7. Social interaction
8. Show emotion
9. Go to church
10. Prayer
