I've seen stable, loving people raise kids who made rough decisions, and I've seen phenomenal decisions come from the children of a whole other kind of parent. I'm always grateful when people are open about kids not just being a reflection of their parents.Di McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05903996304750469325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-37183018001717461342013-07-26T22:31:27.365-04:002013-07-26T22:31:27.365-04:00You provided a perfect answer to your friend whose...You provided a perfect answer to your friend whose child was in serious trouble. We just don't know all the reasons behind the behaviour of other people - not even our own children. We do our best but there are no guarantees in life.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336536082191736636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-67629263081429331972013-07-26T17:20:39.898-04:002013-07-26T17:20:39.898-04:00I agree that we can no more take credit for all th...I agree that we can no more take credit for all the great things our kids do, than we should be blamed for all the negative things that happen. Most of us try our hardest to give our kids the best possible start in life. After that, luck - good and bad, seems to have an even bigger impact than we could ever have foreseen. <br />I'll never understand why.GrahamForeverInMyHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567227324094005373noreply@blogger.com
