Yeah.

Okay. You know, people think, well, I'm taking on this responsibility. I'm sacrificing my freedom. It's like, well, first of all, freedom to do what? To be self-centered and miserable? What, and lonesome? That's all the freedom I want, self-centered, miserable, and lonesome. So then you take on the hypothetical responsibility of a child, but the thing is they pay you. There's data on this too.

People who have little kids take more pleasure in the things they do with their little kids than single people do doing the same things. Kids look at the world through fresh eyes. Everything that you do with a little kid is a new thing for the kid and you get to see that and that's a really good deal. And you can become a master of those little adventures that you go on with your kids.

If you learn to do it right, there won't be anything that you'd rather do because it's a very rare adult who is as much joy to be with than a child who's well-disciplined and playfully accompanying you. In conclusion, what lessons can you derive from today's discussion? Lessons for motherhood. Hold them close, but let them go.

Encourage your children to go out into the world so they become competent and productive and happy and secure, but be confident that when the need arises, they'll come to you for the care that only as their mother you can provide. Don't worship your child. Care for them, love them, but don't turn them into narcissists. Lessons for fatherhood. Become the man your children want to imitate.

There's very little that you can do that's more important as a man than to provide the model for responsible, adventurous adulthood to your children. Embrace responsibility, gain purpose. You're giving up what's often nothing more than juvenile hedonism to pursue something of much greater significance, the meaning that you find in the voluntary adoption of responsibility.

So I'd like to offer you a sample homework assignment, so to speak. Sit and write a little bit, a couple of paragraphs, about three things that your father did particularly well. And do the same with your mother.

Write down as well three things that you think they might have done better and then give some thought while you're writing to how you could capitalize on the positive things that your father and your mother taught you and how you could rectify the things that were less than optimal. I hope that that's helpful in dealing with the problems that arise in the future.
