Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship.
Losing a child is probably the singular most horrible thing.
Boys are slobs... One reason is that mothers let them get away with it. Mothers are notorious for spoiling male children.
A lot of what children's hurt feelings are about is how the parents react.
A lot of what children go through is because you adults don't carry the burden yourself.
Children are not a right, they are a privileged obligation.
Children have no reasonable assumption of privacy while they are minors in their parent's home.
