Rita,
I forwarded this to my mom and dad, my sister and my grown daughter with 2 young children.
My daughter responded "Sounds idealistic to me...meanwhile back to the real world"
I have not been enabling her, (for years now) in fact, things have been a little strained since our family get-together a month ago and I did not do according to her expectations regarding the grandkids.
I just thought it a neat share..esp as it refers to a mother bear which my daughter and I had used in talking about raising children when she was pregnant.
But, on second thought, her in-laws do alot for her family...too much so...
I REALLY love the quote by Oscar Wilde.
I guess that is the part I needed to share for my sake.
I am NOT going to ask my daughter what she meant by that comment.
Let it go, Tena, let it go!
