"No current theory of personality can explain why both
members of a pair of identical twins reared apart liked to keep rubber bands
around their wrists and pretend to sneeze in crowded elevators."
~Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature
Parents, especially mothers, often take too much
responsibility for their children's choices--even after the children become
adults.
Parents certainly have a great and important role in the lives of their
children, but taking too much blame (or credit) helps nothing and is often, in fact, simply
unfounded.
Kids make their own choices. Do your best, give them your whole
love, and enjoy letting them live their own lives.
