And exactly the, dear Marianne, is where our own personal responsibility lies. Not that of the child, but ours. I so agree with you.

Warmly,

Gonneke, IBCLC, retired LLLL and MOM to the deepest of my heart in southern Netherlands and based on that as an IBCLC trying to help moms to work on their responsibilities.

Let's act responsible *as parents* and realise that our children will take us as an example. It's scary sometimes, but yes: our influence on them is huge, either way. We therefore have the responsibility to look our own past in the eye, as hard as it may be, and work on whatever damage may have been caused to our own personality and repair it, in the interest of our children and grandchildren.
