I guess I just wish I could instantly copy the relevant knowledge and experience to my kids without them needing to slowly learn it the hard way like I did, oh, and habits too... I'm sure my son is going to ruin a car by forgetting to change the oil." Peter rolled his eyes and sighed.
Allison giggled and gave a knowing smile. "You mean you want your kids to have your personality so you wouldn't have to worry about them?"
"I didn't say that!" Peter said defensively.
"Umm, topic by topic you would slowly build them to have your... what was it? Knowledge, experience, and habits? Sounds like a personality to me."
Peter thought for a moment, his face paling. "Oh you're right. I'm a terrible parent."
"No you're not! You're just worried for them like any good parent would be. I, honestly, wish that my kids relaxed and let loose more. I somehow got the most self-governing children ever to exist... I worry that they aren't going to experience life because they don't seize opportunities to try things."
