I hadn't expected to gain such pleasure in helping my kids learn how to find their way in the world and in particular earn a living.
This meant being involved, working with them rather than against them, and having a think about what they might do.
One of them is studying Buddhism in Kathmandu, one does animation, one is working toward law. The important thing for me is that we are friends. See, I've contradicted myself. But we are in this world to help each other, not torment each other.
I loved what you said about breast feeding, sleeping together and toilet training, not to speak of boarding schools. I completely agree. But I never forget what a hard world it can be to find your way in and through.
