“Parents should not work hard to give their children the best, and in doing so; missing out on the most important parent to child crucial bonding time in both their lives. But instead give their children the best of their time, and teaching them what life is worth living for. It is harder to fix a broken adult than it is to raise a child. And most broken adults comes from dysfunctional homes and the absentee parent. Let's brake the chain of dysfunctional homes, and raise a healthier and loving, more confident future generation. Our future offspring; our future legacy of survival of the fittest depends on it. And the fittest people in life are those who are whole, complete and lacking nothing, who serves out of love and only mimic that what they saw their parents do.”
