No pill taking here, I'm prefect!
If that isn't the truth! Wish my parents were here to concur.
My parents did nothing needed to take out of me, nor my children to take out of them. Perhaps we are lucky.

I'm on my second wife, and my first one had no kids. So now I have to discipline the me out of my step-kid? No way. She's 30. I only have to worry about her in 50 years when she starts to follow my example.
I don't do that because I want him to be perfect. 😂
In the beginning G-D created Adam and Eve and gave them the fruits of his labors. He saw that what he created was good and asked them to enjoy the garden they dwelled in. He also asked them not to eat the forbidden fruit. And Eve said to Adam, "This is wonderful. We have forbidden fruit!" Adam was startled and said, "No Way!" Eve answered, "Yes, Way!!!!" This continued as they discussed this impossibility. Eve took a bite of the apple and gave it to Adam who also enjoyed the apple. Now you know the whole story.
Remember, if G-D could not control his children, what make you think you can control yours???

HE doesn't try to control - HE gave mankind minds to make their own decisions - and you can see where that has taken us... The best an adult can do is to guide little ones in the right direction by examples and teachings and hope for the best...

He should have designed minds for us, leaving out war, torture, etc.
You will love your grandkids more than your own.
Being frustrated with my sons' inherited bull-headedness and stubbornness, I came to the realization it was an impossibility ----- They had gotten from their Mom! now I can rest easy
BUT, (wait for the Paul Harvey's rest of the story here....) they got their good looks from Me!!!
It's obvious - their Mom still has hers!!

This is very true. We all are given free will. However, some take common sense out of the equation. Mostly every one is afraid of being politically correct. Without finding myself being dragged up to the attic, aliens no longer visit this planet. We are the laughing stock of the galaxy.
