Great Perspective

Ben Wiseman NYTimes

Can someone render an opinion on child rearing if he doesn't have a child? Read "A Childless Bystander's Baffled Hymn" by Frank Bruni, NYTimes Sunday Review columnist.

He ends the piece by saying, "So parents:

• Cut yourselves some slack. 
• Take a deep breath. 
• No one false step or one missed call is going to consign your children to an entirely different future. 
• Make sure they know they're loved. 
• Make sure that they know their place. 
• And make peace with the fact that you don't hold all or even most of the cards."
