Mendy, the thought of protecting my children from my own bad behavior is kind of a scary one. It seems that by the time we figure out that's good advice, we've already subjected them to countless causes for lifelong therapy sessions. But you're right: it IS the one thing we can protect them from.Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846665855246867179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-44558160560697992622010-04-16T22:44:43.053-05:002010-04-16T22:44:43.053-05:00Marvellous words.

I'm going to have to think about that today - what I would want to leave as a legacy for my kids. It's been hard to come to terms with the fact that I cannot control all of their experiences in life. I do know that I frequently remind myself of something I read in a Caitlin Flanagan book (which I don't recommend, except for this one thought): The only thing you can protect your children from is your own bad behavior. I think it's the best bit of parenting advice I've ever come across.AngryBakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353130759155569342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-44997806426677417302010-04-16T09:22:44.405-05:002010-04-16T09:22:44.405-05:00So wise.
