Watching that morning routine and I think I speak for all parents of little (and therefore uncontrollable, noisy, sometimes unpredictable, needy) children when I say: watching it makes me want to hurl my computer into a lake.

Very compelling, thank you. It reminds me of T.S. Eliot:

“Why should men love the Church? Why should they love her laws?

She tells them of Life and Death, and of all that they would forget.

She is tender where they would be hard, and hard where they like to be soft.

She tells them of Evil and Sin, and other unpleasant facts.

They constantly try to escape

From the darkness outside and within

By dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good.

But the man that is will shadow

The man that pretends to be.”
