I hear you and am with you, Katie. Something tells me your kids will turn out just fine in the end.

One thing I realized tonite about Ennis...his parenting skills were the result of something primal. Annie P. wrote that the smell of milk and sound of babies crying and Alma groaning were "reassuring of fecundity and life's continuity to one accustomed to working with livestock." He approached parenting on a very basic level, one without words or psychology books. I'm thinking that's why he and Alma Jr. were on the same wavelength to where they could finish each other's sentences.
