    I know this wasn’t Stephan’s intention, but this is a good reason not to have kids.

    The concept is enough to make Pig’s eyes bug out. It is too true and it never ends.

    Before I had kids, I didn’t remember the world as such a dangerous place.

    Heeere’s. Tooo.

    All of you parents raising kids while the kids are raising Cain.

    Though your nights are always sleepless and your days are never through,

    It’s the most important job that anyone can do.

    The basic problem with the environment is that we have too many people. Easy to solve that problem, we just need to get rid of about 2/3 of us, anyone care to volunteer?

    Raise your children. Sometimes to the soaring heights and sometimes by the scruff of their neck.

    It actually helps somewhat if you teach your kids to look out for their own safety. You still worry, but not quite as much.

    At the age of somewhat more than 40, my son no longer scares me for his safety. Quite so much.

    Just about anybody can be a parent or a teacher. However, being a GOOD parent or a teacher is a different story.
