Fatherhood Parenting

Bad parents are the best parents because they give you adversity. Children are kind of like magicians psychologically because when you're a child, you're weak and you have to deal with your own weakness and your own vulnerabilities.

The compensation often leads to children becoming great artists, great political figures, great actors.
