Excellent…..
If it were no better than a crap shoot there’d be no reason to raise families right, with forbearance and discipline and for-thought. And the inner city would look like suburbs across America. Sure, people depart from their raising, for lots of reasons, mostly drugs, alcohol or mental, but to say its a crap shoot implies no efficacy in being a good parent, maintaining good family, teaching the right foundation for life. And it ignores a lot of evidence to the contrary. Its just chance a guy raises 8 responsible adults? I don’t think so.I hate to break it to you, but if you're kids are all ok, it's because THEY made good choices.
Good kids come from bad homes, bad kids come from good homes - it's a crapshoot.
Doing what's right is a person's responsibility and allows them to sleep at night when things go bad, nothing more.
