You Will Want A Crowded Table
“What a great spectacle it is when a husband or wife with many children are seen with these children crowded around them!”
-Musonius Rufus
It’s helpful to sit back and really think about what parental success looks like.
First, of course, it’s having healthy kids who survive to adulthood—that’s obvious.
But second, when you flash way forward into the future, what is it? It’s that beautiful phrase captured in the title of the Highwomen’s hit “Crowded Table.” At Thanksgiving. On birthdays. At some summer house on the beach you all rent as a family. That is, having kids whom you get to see, whom you have a good relationship with, whom you want to spend time with . . . for the rest of your days.
