Yep.

All too often we want to delude ourselves into thinking, that just because our kids turned out great...we're great parents.

Which of course, doesn't explain the many times two or more siblings turn out so very different...even having been raised the exact same.

Although I consider myself extremely fortunate to have children that are doing excellent, I am also smart enough to know that parents often get too much credit...as well as too much blame.
