Stay in your OWN backyard...

So I have been reading my book and contemplating it's relevance to my own life...and wanted to share with you a page of particular interest in Ayelet's book...

"Another's parent's different approach raises the possibility that you've made a mistake with your child. We simply can't tolerate that, because we fear that any mistake, no matter how minor, could have devastating consequences. So we proclaim the superiority of our own choices. We've lost sight of the fact that people have preferences."

And that right there is IT, the big IT ... we spend so much time fearing that what we are doing is wrong, checking out everyone's backyard to see how they make theirs so lush and green that we forget that their lawn goes through the same Composting procedure (the same bunch of shit we do to put it lightly) to find Their means to an end. We do not have the same family therefore our choices will be different.

AHHH the big IT, You cannot judge your parental skills against another because not everyone has the same taste in parental "sandals" if you will.
