But you're regretting the wrong thing. You're projecting onto the child. You are actually upset about the desertion, the divorce, the ridiculous super-paced lifestyle you chose over the actual simplicity of life you could have chosen. Not the sharpest tools in the shed, these upcoming generations. Too many of you are manipulated by a faux culture that doesn't really care about you but it does care about the money it can make off you. And to that end, it indoctrinates you with the idea that you are missing out on life if you don't follow the same workaholic path to assumed value to society. That is "the script" and you just don't see it. Most of you will never be remembered by that society you think you will just die if you are not a part of its moving and shaking.
But you WILL be remembered by your children...if you don't get duped into not having them.
