I think one of the hardest things to do in this world is be a parent of a child who's agenda is totally different than yours.
You've lived more than a decade or two before they were conceived and seen a lot of rich life lessons born between the battle of victory and defeat. Started by insecurities aware and unaware. The lessons you've taught because you have attended and graduated and gone back for a graduates degree in hard life. To say son, I'm looking at this in you or daughter here's what I know...only to have them respond to you with their eyes rolled and their breath expressed as if you were born the day they were and only know as much as they do. Except they know more. What a defeat. You try, you teach and you make sure they are educated enough to not travel down that road...and then they do. What's left for us to do but check our own ego.
