ip. This whole notion about "worrying" about your children and how you shouldn't because it's a waste of energy. I do think that that is true to a certain extent. It's natural for parents to worry about there children, but there is a time when parents need to learn that they can no longer control their kids. It's a time when the kids have start to use there own judgement and use what their parents have instilled in them. Another thin about Conrad's mother was that she is a very selfish person and also insecure. I got to wondering about how couples change in marriages. I thought about how important it is for BOTH parents to be level-headed and balanced in order to keep there families and marraige together. It's a big struggle being in a marriage and parenting, it's not all you see in movies and stories. It can be a big sacrifice, one that you may not be willing to take.
