Let's raise children who won't have to recover from their childhoods. ~ Pam Leo
In spite of a relatively traumatic childhood, my mother did the best she could and there was no doubt she loved me in the best way she could.
Two things I remember her telling me as a child, (1) I should probably not have children because I would damage them and (2) if I chose to have children after all, I needed to go to Georgia Tech and get an engineering degree so I could support my children when my husband left me. As shocking as those bits of maternal advice were, I believe they helped make me a very intentional parent. Moreover, and even ironically, Mom couldn't have been more wrong on both counts.~ Mk Michaels
