    Well, I am proud to say I raised my kids as best I could to be confident, self-sufficient, moral and reliable adults who felt no sense of entitlement. They've all had their stumbles along the way, but none of them have arrived at adulthood with the sense that the world owes them anything, and that's a wonder, because their Dad..my abusive ex husband...had a huge sense of entitlement. :( I am SO glad that didn't rub off on them. I guess in part it's because they saw me work SO hard, sometimes 7 days a week for over half our marriage to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table while their Dad sat at home and "pursued his music" (where's that vomit smiley?)
