I've never felt so uncomfortable from a close up of some one's face before.

Before I had you, I was ambivalent about children. Yes, I know this isn’t the best place to start, but hear me out because it goes from meh to mush in 30 seconds.
Like that time when dad told you Jesus was more like a zombie than the son of God. I know you hated him a little that day. It’s okay. Sometimes he pisses me off, too. Actually, a lot of the time. Like on Valentine’s Day, when he handed me an iTunes gift card as my gift. Or, when he leaves one glass — yes, one glass — in the sink after I just got done washing dishes (by hand) for the fifth time in an hour.
We will:
+ hurt you
+ make you cry
+ disappoint you
+ not give you everything you want
+ probably not pay for college
+ continue to push vegetables
+ yell
+ shut off the TV
+ demand you toughen up
+ need you to change our Depends
+ fail spectacularly at being mature
Your father and I are not venture capitalists, we’re dreamers. Because we dream big, we have a small bank account. Money and love are completely different, and we hope to have raised you well enough to know said difference. Only fools combine the two.
We believe that stating the obvious upfront — a contract of our failings — will soften the blow when you become an adult and seek therapy.
However, I want to be absolutely clear: We are your fiercest supporters, loudest cheerleaders, and number one fans. We are your parents, your advocates, and ambassadors. You can tell us anything, and we will love you unconditionally. We will never shame you or make you question your worth. We will help guide you through cruel unfairness and unburdened privilege. You are our daughter, a symbol of our love and passion, commitment and intention.
Does anyone else think that Liz and Cecily's son-daughters will end up like Hayley Mandel?
It's going to be a lot more dire.
Hayley's parents are loaded and have given their daughter an education.
And they seem the type to have no issue with funding their child's lifestyle no matter what.
She will always have that safety net.
Liz and Cecily's kids are screwed unless they totally eschew their upbringings.
Tori is especially screwed because her parents are going out of their was to deny her an education. Her school doesn't even help her get her GED.
I suppose they could become just like their parents...insufferable twats sitting on social media on the tax payers dime.
