The world is a tough place, and they will learn that eventually. It's good to let them learn it some early on, but give them some shielding from the cruel world at the same time. Being a parent it the hardest job you'll ever have, being deployed to a warzone is easier. I can tell you that from experience!

Certainly, the role of parent is one of the most difficult there is, because other lives will be there under your tutelage and you need to support them, they are children, so we are closer and always wish them well. If anything bad happens, we'll blame ourselves, so it's important to be there for them at the right times and teach them to stand up for themselves too.
