Writing an essay on all the points at which we’re socially conditioned to fail children — to give them up too early so we can get back to work, to cling to them at just when they need to start moving away from us, right on up to the higher ed debt trap... it’s overwhelmingly sad.

I've raised three and the biggest trap is following other people's advice instead of your own notions. Kids are not fungible and no one knows yours better than you. And Mazel Tov!

Couldn't agree more. Children are variable across all dimensions. It's wonderful! What a failing of humanity if we don't see this. Of course, parents sometimes struggle to see the ways in which their child is incredible — but if they lean into their love, they will. :)
