It has recently come to my attention that a caring father made public a smashing Christmas letter he sent to his grown (married with children of their own) children.
The gist was "I would prefer not to hear from you again, unless you have a success or accomplishment to share. Your Mother and I have had enough of you bringing us down by complaining about your problems, failures, and general inability to take what we gave you and make a life of your own."
Being British, he had a nicer way of saying it all, but a curmudgeon cannot help but admire his courageous stand. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/9686219/I-am-bitterly-bitterly-disappointed-retired-naval-officers-email-to-children-in-full.html will fill you in on the delicious details.
I'm going to recruit that man into our Societé!
