Don’t know what my youngest’s excuse is then, he had mostly the opposite upbringing to you 😆
I don’t see a problem with rewarding genuine and hard fought attempts even if they end in failure (but not half arse attempts or attempts that fly in the face of previous examples and experiences where people are basically going in convinced that then doing the same thing that failed before will somehow work this time because they’re the ones doing it).
On the focusing on similarities thing, middle child was just showing me TikToks about how people haven’t changed that much over hundreds of years despite a lot of things changing 😆
I see it something like a peanut allergy or similar. The same experience will elicit different responses in different people. Saying we have "gone through the same thing" doesn't mean we went through it with the same tools etc, if that makes sense?
Yep. We are still idiots and I assume we will continue to be for many hundreds of years more :)
Sounds about right XD
