There are so many stories we read about bad parents and abuse,it's crazy.And yet it always repeats itself with some people.Most humans can determine right and wrong,and it's so simple.But then there is another story out about histroy repeating itself .

I have a three year old and this Saturday I'll have a two year old. One of the hardest things is knowing what to worry about and what to leave to work out on it's own. You may feel by 8 months that "this kid will grow up permanently warped if we don't get him off the bottle NOW!", but in reality, kids are "programmed" and in both of my cases, they one day just pushed the bottle away and never took it again. That's just one example of many. I don’t want to scare you, but that feeling about your own suitability as a parent never goes away, at least not by the point I’m at.
