The things we learn never get converted into DNA to be passed down the blood line – we have to discover for ourselves what it takes to go through adolescence, how to build relationships with others and how to bring up children of our own. As children, we never believe our parents could ever have had the same experiences as us - and as parents we struggle to show our children how much we do know about what they are going through.
As my old man says: easy to spend, hard to make.
