    I mean… Have you seen the stuff my parents share…?

    I’m just thankful that my kids will never be embarrassed by me. (This is sarcasm. Of course they will!)

    I actually hope my kids are at least a little embarrassed by me, someday. I hope they will embrace new kinds of pragmatic effective compassion and community, even if I’m unable up adapt.

      My mom embarrassed me all the time as a kid, but only because she’s a boisterous, loud personality. She never really did anything on purpose, and I was never the one to throw a tantrum in public so there was no need.
