I fed them breakfast, I read to them in the womb. We did all these great things, and yet still that same child can turn around and do something that we're not so proud of and we literally throw our hands up and say, I don't know where that came from. Is that true, parents? I mean, do you not know where your children's issues come from?

And I'm proud of my children. I'm very proud of them. But on the other hand, I can't take credit for their career moves, okay? They did this on their own. They did that without me being involved, without me pressuring them without any influence. Then there's the second part of that. If my children, when they were in school and they got in trouble, yes, I scolded them. But too, they were my children. I love them

They feel like they're alone, they're abandoned, and they're out here trying to support these children. So then that attitude comes across to their own children. If you have parents that were sexually or physically emotionally abused growing up, then that trickles down to their children. But like I said, it takes some humble, self aware people to acknowledge that that could play a role in why their children are the way they are. And so, yeah, parenting is tough

You just don't get a whole nother deposit of $30,000. I'm like, why do I work for the government again? Why? But I'm so super proud of him, and I raised him. But at the end of the day, he had to make his own choices, right? Starting from high school was studying, deciding to work, going to college

And I'm just like, okay, they did something bad, wrong, illegal, whatever. And now you don't know where they came from, but if they did something good, oh, you got all the bullet points of how you did such a great job parenting. Like, well, perhaps you dropped the ball in this area, and maybe it might help if we admit it, at least it can help know, but parenting isn't easy. I like what ayamya Van Zant said

I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking. We'll both laugh about it. And what I will say is one thing that I had to correct myself on this past, maybe year, it's been about a year is we as parents, most of us, not all. I'll speak for myself. I, as a parent, based on how I was raised, would echo the same message. My expectations are, you need to do this. You've disappointed me

And when it comes to my child, I believe in oh, great, now they're cutting hedges. I'm not sure how much of that's coming in the background, but I will say that when it comes to my child or children, especially the one that I'm still raising, it is more. So let's play with these strengths, work with the weaknesses. All right. That's too loud in the background. I'll finish later

And so I'm just proud that I've contributed to the body of knowledge to medication safety because safety, patient safety, is very important to me. And then in addition to that, in terms of my doctorate, here's where I'm at with that. I am honored. So thank you. When people say, hey, I want to respect that you have your doctorate degree. I am not one of those doctorate holders where I'm like, you have to call me Dr

A child can be born to two successful, loving, moral, law abiding citizens and still turn out to be just a wreck or jailbird. We've seen those. And then you have some who grew up in impoverished areas or low income neighborhoods become just amazing people. And so parents who take all the credit for their child's successes, but they don't want the accountability and responsibility for their child's failures, it seems like it's more of an embarrassment type of thing

Like, my oldest daughter is going through something right now with her husband's family, and as I'm over at their house, his family is coming in, and different people are coming in because my daughter's always like, well, this is my mom. This is my mommy. And so they're always like, oh, my goodness, you did such a great job with your daughter. Like, she is such a wonderful person, whatever, blah, blah, blah

Hey, Auntie Anne. Wow. Yeah. I'm not a parent, but everything you said, like, resonated with me because that actually is a conversation that, till this day, I still have with my parents. Sometimes I'm like, you know, why is it that you're unable to recognize certain things that took place? It. Did this not happen? Yes, it happened. Okay. Did this not happen? Yes, it happened. Okay
