So, this garbage started in the 90s when my kids were kids. And I rejected it wholeheartedly. Yes, they were special, yes, they were brilliant and handsome, but when they sucked, they sucked. Middle boy, ran like the wind, but couldn't hit a ball. Youngest, could hit like Bade Ruth, ran like lead. Oldest, well, he was clever.

Always realistic. No coddling. Boy can't read in grade2 at the end of the year. I demanded they hold him back (he was severely Dyslexic). Nobody in the job market gives a fuck about you and if you can read or shit.

Girl now you got me heated and I'm not even half done your story....
