+1 for the apt, beautiful quote -1 for the blanket over-generalization

I'm a loving father of two brilliant girls (7 and 9), and while I strive to be a "stable bow", parenting is an ongoing, dynamic and constantly-evolving relationship. And I'll never apologize for trying to instill them with my most deeply-held values and ideals. I try to do so by living and demonstrating these values, and encouraging them to discover their merits for themselves. It's not about merely enforcing rules. But until you find yourself responsible for another human being's very life, making assertions about the nature of parenthood is futile.
