Expectations

When you have children, expectations start.  It just happens.  We call them hopes and dreams, but really they are what we expect for our children.  As the years pass, expectations grow. 

Are they wrong?  Are they handcuffs that keep our children from being who they want to be?  Are they guidelines that let children develop into kind caring members of society?  

When expectations are shattered, we are shattered.  They are a two way street.
