“Children are objectively important, and require care, attntion, stimulation, education. In lives that lack centres, it makes sense that these concrete tasks could fill the void: if we cannot name the moral terrain of our lives, we can make parenting our crucial moral task. And if this results in giving too much space to our children, it is only because we do not know what that space might otherwise contain.” ChildrenFamilyParentingAdulthood Book:Adult Fantasy: Searching for True Maturity in an Age of Mortgages, Marriages, and Other Adult Milestones Source: Adult Fantasy: Searching for True Maturity in an Age of Mortgages, Marriages, and Other Adult Milestones
