The truth is I don't know where to start or what to say, I don't know if I should call you pessimistic or if you are exaggeratedly realistic, but as a mother I can tell you something, today's children are not like you or I could be or like others were a few years ago, the reason everything now changes very fast, besides if they have been stimulated that is another reason for them to be the way they are, besides they are unique and unrepeatable, no matter how many things they may resemble you or their mother, they will end up being unique, in fact they are unique.
Finally I can tell you that in my personal experience, I have learned that being happy is a decision, you decide to be happy despite everything that may be happening around you and parenting is something that we learn along the way.
