Might anything be gleaned from one's children?

Do children tell us anything about the parents?

Of course, it is the mass murderers that have evoked the most attention where parents are concerned, lately. The parents of trannies, the parents of the Butler, PA shooter. The parents of the HS serial rapist just recently arrested. The parents of the little SNAP/EBT thugs in the grocery stores, et al ...



Full Disclosure, before someone busts my balls:

My oldest (40s) is a high ranking attorney in the California DOJ. She's a flamming liberal. We rarely speak. I blame it on her Mother and that side of my ex-wife's family .... and the fact that I was in the field or overseas during much of her childhood. I provided, but I wasn't there enough to influence.

My second oldest (late 30s) is an accomplished attorney who clerked for a Federal Judge in the 9th Circuit. She's now a partner with a prestigious lawfirm in Portland. She's left wing, not as flamming as her older sister. Same reasoning as above ... I was gone all the time but I had a little more influence in her life.

My youngest daughter (mid 30s) is a Phd in Clinical Psychology. After teaching at a major university for a decade, she started out liberal, she's now a moderate Conservative. Voted for Biden .... then Trump this last election. I was home more for her. She now works for a very large national accounting firm in Charlotte. The real world (outside of gov and academia) changed her perspective on life as much as I.

All three above have children.

My youngest, my Son (late 20s) is very successful, works in the freight business, national acct mgr. Knocking down well above the national average for his age group. He's engaged to a 30 year old nurse .... they're both very conservative, want a big family. She'll be an NP soon. He's a product of my current wife and I. I was here a lot when he was growing up and through his college years.

I believe that Dads being home make a difference. I also believe that Moms have A LOT to do with it.
