RE: Has our need to ACHIEVE reached epic toxic proportions?

You are very right - it all comes down to unreasonable expectations and unhappiness on the part of the parents - wanting their children to have it better - but losing track of what that really means.

In my childhood, my happiest part of it was when we were the poorest - no kidding! My mother was home, we gardened, raised our own meat, lived on 7 acres in one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. It's not about the money, folks!

You know, until now, I had no idea that English wasn't your first language! You're amazing!!! <3

Thanks. I am an English teacher, though, so I can manage. But sometimes I feel very limited, definitely when it comes to things I have all worked out in my mind, but in Dutch,😂

I can understand, because everything is brought down to the basics: love and attention
