But let me tell you my mom is very uneducated, but she acts like she is highly educated and you know what she

difficult, I cannot imagine been a parent. Being a parent can be one of the most difficult jobs because nobody instructs us how to raise an intelligent and courteous child. Many parents want their child to be better than they were. Therefore, parents try hard to not make the mistakes that their parents made.
