Remember that not getting what you have your heart set on when you were a child? Maybe it was a birthday gift, or the trip to the zoo, or if you have coveted new skateboard. It was the children but as adults we are more mature in how to deal with disappointment, or are we?

We are smart enough to know that not everything is within our reach, and there are some things that elude us, despite our economic means. Parenthood, meanwhile, is a game from the beginning. There are those among us who struggle to bring a child into the world, and those of us who can easily reproduce. Some parents may be briefly disappointed by the sex of their child, but everyone is happy for the birth of a son or daughter healthy.
