Parents forgive their children least readily for the faults they themselves
instilled in them.
This is one of those quotations that tend to really hit home. How many times have we been especially peeved over a trait in our children that we can trace right back to ourselves? It can been something they have copied from us or that we have encouraged. I guess it is the familiarity that annoys us until we realize from where it came. So many facets to think/worry about in this child-rearing stuff. Being a parent sure isn't for sissies!
