I think kids are more savvy now.
I came from a very strong labour background, dad was in the Labour Party until the day he died, but I have voted both Labour and Tory.
I must say that the response from both family and friends of family when I voted Tory the first time was very telling.
One woman in particular, had the nerve to tell me I was a disgrace, that Labour was for the working class etc..I simply replied that as her husband had sat on his lazy backside and never worked for decades then it was more of a sham that he voted labour.
My kids are both intelligent enough for me not to sway their thinking, they discuss politics with me just the same as most subjects, we all have our different views, my son voted Tory, my daughter voted Green, hubby never ever discloses who he votes for
