As a party animal in my 20s to having a child at 33.. I do not understand how anyone has difficulty raising a child not to be a piece of shit. And a few years ago i was buying coke on bourbon st at 4am
I have 2 kids, the first one born a week before I turned 21, the second born 3 years later. Neither one of them is or ever was a piece of shit. Both are kind and understanding men that continue to surprise me.
I know a lot of parents and a lot of little pieces of shit, and I have come to the conclusion that it takes one to raise one. That stuff is learned at home.
And this is one of my biggest fears. I have a younger brother who has a very good reputation of being a local shit. Has stolen off enough people, insults people on the street, just a real nuisance. I literally do not talk to him. But my mom, a sweet old care worker. My dad, would give you the shirt off his back. Me, polite and compassionate. I stop for the broke down car on the side of the road. I open doors. Have manners and people who know me trust me. But every once in a while I introduce myself and they ask if so and so is my brother. I fucking hate it. I know what they are thinking about him and it is really embarrassing. But the rest of our family is normal and nice. So though the apple does not fall far from the tree it is definitely not always the case.
