Making the right choice is not yours.

I had a small blip of a conversation with a very good friend of mine. She had questioned her decision with her children with the following question in a chat session:

As parents, how do you know if you make the right choices for your children?

Her friends, who were making all the great remarks we as parents faithfully expect to hear to absolve us from wrong doing, assured her she was doing fine. I agree.

Something nagged at me for that. It was not enough feedback. So I submitted this to answer her question:

You don't actually make the right or wrong choices. They do. It is the results that they produce to make your life more enjoyable/miserable that tells the tale if your enactment of decision for them was sound.

So why do you worry?
