“All parents occasionally have ambivalent feelings toward their children. We love our kids, but there are times when we dont really like them, or at least we cant stand what our children are doing. But most of us keep those feelings to ourselves, as if its dirty little secret. It doesnt fit in with our images of what we should do and feel as parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
