(505 posts)looking for the not so obvious behind the obvious. There is not always a hidden meaning, and some times I am not the only sarcastic person in the world.
I don't know if I can stick here long enough to get to know anyone. Some of those I have come to know have been such impossible dinks I don't know how they can stand themselves. I am serious, and when I see anyone about to make the same stupid mistakes I made with my children I get very serious.
It is hard to get children to change even in a positive fashion while sending the message that they are less than perfect. Kids are kids. With -good enough- parenting most turn out ok. My first child was Jewish, a boy, and I could never get over the love and adoration lavished on him by his mother. Being more German than Irish, we were raised to think we were nobody special, and that is what we mostly became. My first wife was right, and I was wrong. Every child should be thought of as completely special and learn to grow into that specialness.
