Of teaching woes and what nots
You shouldn't judge other parents until you have walked a mile in their shoes. I have found that kids come into this world programmed a certain way and as a parent you do your best with what you are given. My sister have one child that I am afraid to take on playdates or out to restaurants, etc., because he is very emotional, loud and has poor impulse control (and has been this way since he was a screaming, colicky infant). Sadly, I find everyone but a few close friends to be very judgmental, assuming it is poor parenting to blame, where in fact, I can guarantee she has spent more time and emotional energy trying to learn how to parent him than anyone I know has with their kids. I read a great quote on parenting once that said something to the effect of, "Raising kids is like growing a garden from an unmarked packet of seeds...you can't control which flowers come up, only how you tend to your garden." For those who must judge parents, please do so in 14 years. They are running a marathon, not a sprint.
you can reply if you so do wish
