LakewoodBubby, I was not saying that all problems arise from trying to raise the next gadol hador. I do see how one might read that into what I wwrote so I thank you for pointing it out.
Nor do I mean to insinuate that all problems can be traced to cynical parents.
I did just want to point out how difficult it is to raise inspired, not cynical (yet not ostrichy) kids now, not to mention keeping ourselves inspired and not cynical.
I think we’re clearly on the same page.
