Yeah, Gary, don't feel bad, this was actually a very interesting subject. The one lesson we should take from it is that we don't have to duplicate some of the flaws our Parents exhibited when we raise our own kids. We can learn not only the good things our Parents taught us, but also some of the not so good things we saw. No instruction manual comes with kids, and we can only do the best we can with the tools we were given.

My own Sons remind me occasionally of dumb things I did when they were young, and some of it embarrasses me. But at the time it seemed appropriate and I guess it worked because they both turned out to be good, productive human beings. But they will probably only use some of the better traits I had when teaching their own kids, and will not make some of the same mistakes they saw me make.

It's called LIFE, I guess.
