If only kids realised how much their parents were bumbling through and making best guesses and liberally bullshitting

I suppose my mother feared losing face by acknowledging wrongdoing. That pride was a trap.

I suppose my mother feared losing face by acknowledging wrongdoing. That pride was a trap. My parents sucked too. Mine actually did a lot of things right. My mother unfortunately tended to build up with one hand and tear down with the other. I don't think that was ever her intention, but it was certainly her effect.
Why I don't have kids:I walked outside today to see 3 girls playing in front of my condo. One of them was climbing a street sign pole.Now, most parents/adults would say something like "get down, that's dangerous" or "be careful there"What do I say to the girl climbing the pole?? "You know when you grow up, you can pay your way through college doing that".
