Yes I wonder this a bit: What on earth is the point?
So late in the game it is almost hard not to sound like I'd be blaming my mother for her own inattention or denial of my challenges. In all honestly, I kind of do feel like it is a shame. I could've been a freaking scholar (not that I did so awful, but still). Anyway, more reason for us all to do the right thing by our own kids, friends, relatives etc.
