It’s a pretty amazing job…being a parent. Teaching your child to be a truly “good” person, to know the difference between right and wrong, to treat people with kindness while at the same time recognizing who the idiots and asses are and how to eliminate them from our existence. That last part is the difficult one. Lately, Parker was and has been a defiant on from the start. I fear she’s going to be just like me when I was a child…like my dad said about me “he was a wonderful boy until he turned 13, then he knew everything”. I sense a large power struggle between her and me when she gets older. I will try to impose my will upon her and she will defiantly tell me to go fly a kite and do her own thing. Well, at least I’m prepared for it.
