"I get so sick and tired of..." - Quote by Leo Buscaglia
I get so sick and tired of hearing people gripe about what their parents did to them. You know what your parents did to you? The best thing they could do. The best thing they knew how, the only thing in many cases that they knew how. Nobody has set out maliciously to hurt their child, unless they were psychotic.

“I'm convinced that what kids need today are parents - not buddies. They need someone who will exercise mature judgment.”
“Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: “We are the proud parents of a child who’s self-esteem is sufficient that he doesn’t need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car."”
“My son did not show signs of a money deficiency until he opened his small fist in the nursery and found it was empty.”
More on Forgiveness
“When you fall in love, love deeply. Be tough but also be open to the possibility of forgiveness.”
“Forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life.”
“If, after I depart this vale, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.”
