We «prepared» our children, as parents always do, for a world we wanted, We told ourselves that
buying the best children's records and books, providing ballet,
guitar or painting
lessons, purchasing bicycles and ice skates, paying for summer camp and birthday parties would somehow convey to our children how much we loved them.
When I first started playing
guitar, learning my instrument meant either paying for
lessons or
buying music books to figure it out on my own.
