Is not paying attention to your kids.
You know that right?
Ha.
Of course knowing is not
Half the battle and whoever said that
Is fucked.
Knowing is about 10% of the battle
And that’s generous.
The other 90%, well,
That’s the doing.
The act of actually leaving your kids
Alone
To meet life and determine how
They want to interact.
Really, your job as a parent is
To make sure your children stay alive
And develop morality.
And since your morality is fairly
Questionable
You might want to check yourself
When preaching to your kids.
Because the morality of a hypocrite
Is not much morality at all.
But have no fear
It’s easier than you think
Just leave your kids alone
Continue to support them
Without them knowing
Don’t make the mistake that
They are somehow cooler than you
Or know more.
They don’t.
It’s your responsibility to own
Your coolness.
Your wisdom.
Separate. Independent of them
And with 100% clarity.
That’s the key to being a good parent,
Own your cool.
Leave your kids alone.
