I Used to Think Parents Didn’t Need to Learn Parenting. Then I Read These 3 Stories.
Start with three old stories.
The first happened to a university student. His mother numbered all his clothes in advance and wrote down which piece to wear on which day. Inside the wardrobe door was a printed chart: Monday to Sunday, tops, pants, jackets, numbered from 1 to 21. One day the weather turned cold. He wore clothes according to his mother’s numbers. That day’s number was a thin windbreaker. At noon he began sneezing. By evening he had a fever. He called his mother and demanded, “Why did you make me wear this today?” His mother said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know it would turn cold.” He did not say, “I could have changed by myself.” He said, “Why didn’t you check the weather forecast?”
