You’re right, nm, hopefully others won’t have to strain to love our children. And that’s another positive thing about this exercise of yours, Slarti: it can provide motivation to endeavor to develop the character qualities that would make your children great mates.

Not to mention that the compulsive, must-be-organized, order-needing little boys of today generally will turn out to be other sorts of men altogether. But I do approve of you preparing yourself for the worst.

It’s a good thing that free spiritedness is not synonymous with self-centered, self-destructive or self-absorbed.

With Ford on this one. Let me be the voice of experience: the girls who are on the wild side in college gentle down discernably later in their lives much of the time, making them wise and insightful mothers. The ones I worry about are the ones who wait until they are already married with kids to wonder if they missed something by being always the good girl — I’ve got a friend right now who is in that position and it’s been pretty heartbreaking to watch the whole family struggle with her “what ifs”.

Remember that the good pre-teen girls of today are often the tatooed wild women of the future. Everybody rebels at some point in their lives and from what I’ve seen if they are wilder when they are young they tend to rebel in to a more stable adult. Kinda like “Preacher Kid” sindrome.
