Is a mother a bad mother if she sends her son away to boarding school at a young age, through the time he becomes grown, leaving the raising/parenting to others … knowing that she herself has poor parenting skills and just wants the best for her little boy?
It’s hard for me to at least ‘fully’ agree on the analogy this one… this would make far more sense with a music artists career than an actual mother/child situation, but I get the point. Though I child can certainly be raised by someone else other than a biological parent, I myself, feel very strong about owning up to being a parent. Unless you’re a complete loser, crack head etc, etc… most any normal person can be very good parents, there’s no owners manual in being a parent. I became a father at 23 years old…in retrospect I would have been a better father had I started in my late 20’s…but I did the best I could at that age. Having my two kids has been the greatest thing in my life actually
Ok, back to the music analogy… yeah, I do think a ‘big time artist’ CANNOT do it all…there’s just too much to do and maintain for one person. Unlike some of us ‘bedroom artists’ …we CAN do it all…I can do it all, but then my music is for me, my friends and family…I’m not marketing or promoting myself. Even IF I was good or young enough to try to get anywhere with it, at THAT point I could NOT do it all myself…that is unless I was doing it just to fill my ego. But if I was ‘seriously’ trying to ‘make it’ I’d have to take my music babies and need some ‘musical nannies’ to help me!
Me too, I’ve got one boy (young man really …), I feel the same way. He’s got the music-in-my-blood gene from me, a blessing! Yeah, I’m pretty bad at analogies, as bad as a duck on a June bug ( studiopros.com has some VERY expensive nannies … I’m just starting to look at others that might be a little cheaper but do the job “well enough” - not that I raise my son that way!
), I think your “musical nannies” one was right on the mark! That studiopros.com has some VERY expensive nannies … I’m just starting to look at others that might be a little cheaper but do the job “well enough” - not that I raise my son that way!
