Some truths have to sink in and in time you get used to it. He comes home from school and tells me about the crazy things other kids believe in and he feels sorry for them. If one day he begins to believe in fantasy, I tried. He can believe whatever he wants.
But! I know how to parent my son to the best of my possibilities. I have no idea how to parent other people's kids. I can't pretend to know what's best for them.
You rock. I neither expect to have nor currently expect to ever wish to have a child one day... but, I may change my mind one day and if I ever did have a kid I decided long ago that I'd teach them exactly the same way as that (for me anything else would be unthinkable)
