Would you raise your children like your parents raised you?

Thankfully they’ve grown up very well and I’m extremely proud of them.

Hell fucking no. I was raised with no rules, guidance, or discipline. I am very lucky that I preferred reading over everything and bitched when I couldn’t do so.

I still struggle nowadays because I want to make sure my kids are safe and healthy, and I tend to overreact because I don’t want my kids growing up like I did.

Why, after being called "Libraries," for centuries, are these hallowed college institutions being renamed: "Learning Centers," and "Resource Centers," etc? What's wrong with the time-honored and venerable name: "Library"? What is to be gained?

My parents drank, smoked, and my father abused ma while she hit back, so they preferred to do that and treated me like a roommate.
