@papa-pepper, you score phenomenally high on the awesome-o-meter! Seriously, this is proof! :)

My intention for the writing contest was to present an interesting situation filled with visual treats (Your close up shots are terrifying amazing!)! And then get participants to put their thinking caps on to provide insights into how they'd deal with a difficult parenting decision.

I'm glad to see parents/parents-in-the-future stepping forward to articulate their views.
And I'm honestly very grateful for your help. Cheers! - @sandzat
