How do you know, baddy two shoes, that I haven't? You only confirm what I said. And, you are not the first one who justifies his own failures by explaining them away.
Failures? I haven't failed at parenting. No. 1 daughter is a MSRN nurse anesistest; No. 2 daughter is in real estate. Both are now married and I've just learned I'm going to be a 1st time grandfather this October...I didn't fail at anything but I did have to endure the 15, 16, 17 and 18-year-old rites of passage (and here's hoping when your turn comes it will be doubly hard).
