[quote=Anonymous]Select certain areas in which you will be extremely exacting and consciously let go in others. You need to see failure to choose as the failure it is to prepare your children for the unsanitized, imperfect reality that is life. You also need to consider the possibility that all the excessive nitpicking is motivated less by a pure desire to promote their welfare than to shore up your shaky sense of self-worth. The essence of you is not manifested in the condition of every single material item you use. Your actions distance your children from the actual essence of yourself, and reflect deep fear. They understand this instinctively.[/quote]
