There’s a thread of an
idea that pops up at the end of a previous post that I wanted to take a few
more moments to explore, since it’s been cropping up over and over again
throughout my life.
Parents love their
kids, or at least they should. In properly-functioning family units, which
would hopefully include most Christian families, parents generally fulfill their
responsibilities more consistently and effectively, though none of us can claim
to have achieved perfection in parenting. Far from it.
But some parents
cannot resist putting a finger on the scales to help their kids through life.
This is the source of all kinds of trouble.
