It's as if every piece of homework, every quiz, every activity is a make-or-break moment for this future we have in mind for them, and we absolve them of helping out around the house, and we even absolve them of getting enough sleep as long as they're checking off the items on their checklist.
Kao da je svaka zadaća, svaki test, svaka aktivnost odlučujući trenutak za tu budućnost koju za njih sanjamo pa ih oslobađamo od pomaganja po kući, oslobađamo ih i od dovoljno sna, sve dok odrađuju stvari s popisa.
