Sometimes The “Trite” is True
In the 1960s and 1970s many books, films, and TV employed a recurring theme that was either done as an overused dramatic device or a hardly humorous comedy line. The cliché was “it is all my (insert appropriate parent) fault“. Viewers rolled their eyes, laughed, shook their heads solemnly, nodded, or just sat there waiting for the next line to be delivered and the plot to thicken. However, for many families who may even have laughed there was too much truth in the script for comfort. They may even have made jokes in their families or quietly complained to each other.
I Was Asked For Five Reasons I Love Being A Mother

Panaceas, Problems, and Promises
We have an interesting way of informing people about health and medical issues in the United States. Endless advertisements in all media alert us to this illness or that syndrome with lists of symptoms and dire outcomes if untreated or the rapture of relief when treated. This public service is accompanied by beneficent proclamation of a prescription medication that will treat the ailment. The announcement of a treatment comes with urgings to speak to our doctor about that medication followed closely by a hair-raising list of possible side effects.
