When you have a kid, the first duty is for the kid to be alright. Navel-gazing is only constructive for the kid when it improves the kid's situation.
- chachachoney 7y agoWhat's the deal with the use of brackets in [C]onfront[ing]? I don't disagree with your comment, but I think you're taking something that was said descriptively as if it were prescriptive.
- RhysU 7y agoAh, my bad, I'd read prescriptive. The brackets were because I couldn't figure how else to make the quote read sensibly in a sentence.
