The Sins of the Mother:
Musings of Bewildered Parents
By Colleen Schmitt 
If you are a parent, you must do the same thing I do: sit and shake your head in absolute amazement. I never believed in 'the curse'. You know, the one where your mother said to you "I hope you have a child ten times worse than you, or slower than you," etc. It works. There are a few things that I believe in: 1. Puberty is God's revenge on us for having the audacity to procreate. If you were a rotten kid, the chances are that you will have, ummm, willful children. (Nice way to put it, isn't it?) Each of our children has some facet of me embedded in his or her genetic structure. God help us. Our oldest son is as stubborn as I ever was, with a temper to match. Our daughter is as big a klutz as I ever was, and our youngest son is the one who does the damndest things without ever knowing why he does them. (More on this later.) Next
