"Everything you know is WRONG!"

KALI - your vocabulary and profundity far exceed that of mine. Accordingly I had difficulty following this treatise on 'child-rearing' and its complexities. But, if I might attempt to summarize it, I chose the following citation:
"Individuals vary one from another in far too many ways to even attempt a valid quantification of anything even remotely approaching personal equality. Social classes exist as a hard, cold, and irrefutable fact; they shall persist, despite our best efforts to pretend that we in America live in a classless society in which everyone is neither better nor worse than anyone else. To think otherwise is the gravest of sentimental follies and an intellectual deceit beyond logical comprehension."
To this, I concur - and say - "Hear! Hear!"
Having just passed age 69 last Tuesday, 8/25, as I read this difficult piece I constantly thought of my own personal feelings - from the birth of our two children, through all those wonderful, but exasperating years of growth, to and through their adulthood -
one married, and a professional Chiropractor, running his own practice, with his wife daily beside him - the other, our daughter, who was once a successful Yoga instructor, running her own successful business - but, Alas! Lost everything - now suffering from Bi-Polar disease -
I realize that my Ex and I did a pretty good job - but - No One, No Parent, has a 'corner on the market' on the Future!
One can only do the best with what you have to work with at the current time - No More - No Less ...
Peace, Friend - Tom.
You sure have a way with words my friend, a mouthful is a bucketful rich in treasure. Blessings! Jasmin Horst
