Kiwi's log

I've noticed a pattern, although it may have seemed obvious.

A parent CANNOT be both sucessful in life, and sucessful at raising their kids.

If the parentssuceed in life, the chikld has it too easy, and become spoiled.

If they step off on an entry level job, money is tighter, and life lessons are learned.

My parents did an EXCELLENT job raising me.  and they work janitorial work.  

My friends uncle was a sucessful carpenter and contractor.  They lost both their kids in a gang war.
