Stan says Avram only did his best. I can’t accept that.

A man like Avram had no business bringing up a child, especially not a girl. The best he could? He had no filter.

Adulting means having a filter especially when it comes to children. After all, it’s up to us to protect them–sometimes from ourselves.

Having the girl for weeks or months was like a vacation? Well for Stan, maybe.

I swear Stanley can be even more irresponsible than Avram ever was. It’s a good thing Stan and I never had children. A good thing.
