Ugh...that Daily Caller website is a mess. Maybe it's my browser...but yech. Anyway, I'm often reminded of one of my favorite quotes when it comes to raising kids and it applies in an awful lot of scenarios; "Prepare your child for the path, not the path for the child".
The young are like raw, uncut diamonds. Life is like a big fat chisel. Hopefully, by the end, you have fewer imperfections than you did at the start.
