I read over my post and it sounds like I'm shooting for the perfect "utopian" society. I understand that it would be highly unlikely that even 50 percent of the population of parents were able to achieve having everything I listed in check. I think the hardest to achieve would be "true romantic love" with a true best friendship coinciding it. I realize that true romantic relationships simply do not work for some. They simply are not built that way. Which is fine, as long as they genuinely and love and respect each other. I'm just one that does not work well in a relationship that is based mostly on pragmatism. I'm sure many others out there feel the same. "To each his own", as the saying goes
I know these conditions and goals of parenthood seem almost impossible to achieve. They are all things I want to achieve in my life if I were to ever become a parent. I think the world would be a better place if we all tried to do whatever we could to better ourselves and in turn have better our relationships and be better parents. That is, if we can find a way to conquer this damn mental illness thing or at least keep it in check enough so that it will not interfere with the roles we play in our own lives and our loved ones. Ugh....I'm a hopeless romantic..I'd like to think I'm more on the side of "hopefull" romantic
