Glad your painful ducts have unclogged. :)
No matter how much I may look back and think I did stuff wrong, I figure one of the greatest contributions I made in life was bringing our three children into the world. If we all had to pass a test or personality profile or DNA to qualify as parents, most of us likely wouldn't make it. We all screw up one way or another, whether by being too lenient or too strict. And most of us do turn out, somehow. It is human nature to grow and mature and become better, adapting to challenges and crises, right?
