Tread Softly

No one likes being mistreated, and that is understandable. It staggers me how many parents quickly forget or never realize that they cruel deeds and cutting words have a fair chance of screwing up their children psychologically for life. We parents must tread lightly. Parenting is such hard work and occasionally is quite unrewarding. To be willing to bring a child into the world and stay with her and rear and guide her until she is 18 years of age is an awesome responsibility. But having and raising children is our duty too. To propagate the species is God's will for us to undertake.
