Re: Contentment
Probably my biggest discontent has been realizing that education is worthwhile. I wish I would have raised my kids to be more education minded and less church minded. I hadn't realized how important an education has become until we left the UPC. When I got into the UPC, that was back when you could actually make a living climbing the ladder. I know a person can do that now too, but it is much harder...jobs are becoming more and more scarce without a degree. My daughter has always been a good student....my son, that is another matter. I have to keep reminding myself that there is always a plan B. But it makes me feel like a failure and I get very discontented with the fact that I did not see things sooner. It's also hard to let go and say "Kids make their own choices". They do....to some degree. But, part of it is how they were raised.
