That's not only unfair to the mom, but to the children too...they will have their own regrets and insecurities without having to deal with the ones passed down from their mom. One way to prevent that is to ensure that the mom (and the dad as well) are comfortable and satisfied with their lives first before they try to tell their child (very hypocritically) that you have make yourself happy and that will help you make others happy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315991376866346601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945660986580002654.post-46789811151217016312013-11-19T18:01:10.476-08:002013-11-19T18:01:10.476-08:00That's one BIG assertive statement.

We know he was not advocating strangling infants, but talking about how killing your imagination and creativity is bad, if not worse, than killing a child. And this basically takes me to the wisdom of Gretchen Rubin - "The only way to make others happy is to be happy yourself.":prihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404264101814054328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945660986580002654.post-32751348126406188872013-11-18T15:54:55.348-08:002013-11-18T15:54:55.348-08:00Thanks for your comment Shilpa.
