Lessons in my head

Me:  "What is wrong child? Why do you cry?"

Me:  "oh, you know, the usual, self loathing and parental guilt."

Me:  "And why do you self loath? Why do you live in guilt?"

Me:  "Because I must tell my children no a lot and I can not give them all the things I want them to have."

Me:  "and why is it, to you, more important to teach them to self loath and to live in their guilt than to teach them the value of a "no" and the art of being truly happy with what they already have?"
