Life, the Obstacle Course

Raising You Up “Normal”…

Raising you up “normal”, that’s what I’d been, tryin’, to do, but, it’s, hard, for I’d never been, “normal”, and so, I’m, redefining normal, on a, trial-by-error basis as I, raise you…

What is, raising a child up, normal?  By giving the kid an equal opportunity, the same chances as her/his brothers and sisters the same amounts of resource, offering all your children, the same amount of, education?  Like, providing for them all, to go to, grad school?

But, what if, there’s, that black sheep in the family, that’s, good-for-nothing, that always does the wrong things according to you, parents’ views?  Do you, can you, still, love her/him, exactly the same like you do your, other, “better” children?

There’s, NO “normal” in how to raise up children, because every kid is different, I mean, surely, they all, go through the stages of development as they should, but at various ages, and just because an infant couldn’t stand until s/he is, almost two, that doesn’t MEAN shit, how would you know, that this kid who’d not yet stood up by age two, can’t turn into a track star someday?  You don’t!

And so, there’s, NO “normal” in raising up your young, because every kid is different, and, comparing one of your child to another, is like comparing apples and bananas, other than both being fruits, they basically, have, absolutely, NOTHING in common, and you still can’t compare a golden delicious to a granny smith, pink lady, or even, a Washington Red, because, other than all of these being, apples, they got, absolutely, NOTHING in common!

So, stop using ONE set of methods, with ALL of your children, because???  There are, THREE kinds of learning styles (and no, I’m still NOT going over that!!!), and, there are, so many combinations (actually, only six!!!) of how these learning styles can mix and match in your children, to make them unique in their own ways.

And yeah, this is still parenting ADVICE, from someone who’s, NEVER been a P-A-R-E-N-T, unless you want to count those two little black, black-brindle boys I trained really well!

Raising you up “normal”???  Uh, I’m not even “normal”, so how do I know WHAT normal is?  Exactly, so I’m still, raising you, based off of, how I was raised, the exact opposite, because how I was raised, was, BULLSHIT, and so, I go, the complete, opposite direction on this, and that, is how I shall be, doing it, raising my own, DEAD Emily, along with the two boys I will keep on having in my life, the four-legged, wagging tailed, sit, stay, good boy kinds, not those, god damn, annoying the hell out of me, two-legged, “varieties”, okay???  Yeah, uh-huh!
