Parenting and the LOO

[fairyfarmgirl]

Thank you, Q you have assisted me in understanding--- I am quite isolated--- and the neighbors are isolated... Everyone is afraid to help each other... and yet they can not resist on talking about others. Interesting times we live in. Such an artificial construct that does not work but everyone blames the individual rather than looking at the whole and addressing the real issues... but if the real issues were addressed then we would have a compassionate society concerned with the welfare of All. Not there yet in this world except in pockets of sanity. It is just so difficult parenting 3 kids that are all highly intelligent, high spirited, and highly energetic. A real challenge now. And then, just like that (I blink) they will be in school fulltime, then off to college/gap years/working and then having families of thier own--- As they grow up it is my hope that we (the ones we have been waiting for-- each and every capable human) are willing to shift our society to a resource based society where all are cared for and all benefit and all are seen as valuable. Where parenting is seen as sacred and supported and children are seen as a sacred gift.

Just ranting has helped! Now I can return to the mayhem that is my life at this juncture of the childrearing experience with a newer perspective.
