You are Very Something
"Do not give a damn what "they" have to say (and you will know who they are) for you are either very right or very wrong, but at least you are very something."

The Legacy Letters, by Carew Papritz
On Birthing and Raising Kids
“Kids are kids and not little adults. They're watching and listening to you all the time. They're figuring out the game plan but still don't know all the rules. Talk straight to them and they'll respect you for it.”
“Kids. They're not tin cans or sheetrock. They're laughing machines. Wind them up and watch them go.”
“Part of loving kids is laying down fencelines. They need to know immediately when they've crossed a line; otherwise the lesson doesn't get learned.”
“So curious you must be. Like little calves poking their heads through the fence with big eyes and a headful of curiosity.”
“It’s a fool who thinks having a kid is a right, which is the biggest crock of fish heads I’ve ever heard.”
“It’s a heck of a responsibility to look after a spirit. So give kids the best of who you are. That’s the most you can ever do.”
“Don’t have kids until you’re ready. And when you do have them, have them all the way. They aren’t like some Cadillac that you can turn back into the dealership after three years.”
“Love your kids and just be there for them. You don’t have to eyeball their every moment or to orchestrate all their comings and goings. They know this. They know that’s too much.”
“Don’t spoil kids by trying to buy them off, to buy their time. Kids aren’t stupid. They know a bribe when they see one. They want a parent not a payoff.”
