Chapter 9

I really enjoyed this chapter. I liked learning about the the different ways that parents invest in their children. I know just from watching people that the norm is for the mothers to be loving and the fathers to be in and out of the picture. But I've seen it the opposite where the mother is gone and the father is the one that the kids spend all of their time with. And just knowing the way that the parents effect children is interesting. Like with the Bogle family where the parents were the ones who messed their kids up to the point where almost all of the children had gone to prision. It is kind of sad, but at the same time it can be very good.

  1. I also believe what you have said. It is really interesting how parents do play a role in their childs intelligence and the environment that the child is brought up in. Its crazy how other people can so strongly impact the person you become.
