: u kno...i'm thinking there mainly cos as an american the grass is always greener somewhere else but then i was thinking about how i'd rather not have grown up with these ideals of perpertual self-importance
: ideas*
: the very reason i dont wanna do HW right now and am procrastinating is b/c my mom never taught me how to be disciplines and the US school public school system barely tries to instill that either

: i kno if i had grown up w/ my father (my mom separated us from him) i'd be a better person
: he's an architect and a professor and he understood me my mother didnt and still doesnt
: but then again understanding a 7- year old isnt too hard
: my mother just never tried

Having a daughter who will be 7 someday (someday soon, omg only 2 more years), I'd like to think I'll be able to "understand" her. But I'm also afraid that I just won't "get it."
