Have I forgotten something important, or aren't your kids in possesion of half of your DNA content? If they don't manifest any bad mixtures (I have a truly evil aunt), get decent grades, have reasonable manners and modicum of compassion while they're young, they warrant pride. For some reason, my mother and good but odd aunt are proud of me. My grandmother dislikes but respects me.
My dog is a dog, but reflects my rearing in his behaviour. Mostly always good, and he's unquestionably bright. Then again, he's got a couple bad habits I'm not sure I'll ever get rid of.
I have learned from D'G her various peculiar responses to drugs. Thank you for yet more info on possibilities.
I like good machines, but take no pride in them. I've never bought a car that wasn't manual. I've never owned one anyone would bother to steal, either. My sewing machine is still good at 21, my massage table is at least 7, maybe 9. I don't feel like crawling under her right now.
I think your genes are probably okay to fine. It's tough to overcome bad nurture, and if you're having a hard time doing it for yourself, doing it for your kids matters, and will help you. Yeah, like I'm qualified to say that. Just a thought.
