Expectations

The expectations on the first born, especially sons, can be a harsh reality to bear. All the failed plans are passed down and placed on the young shoulders of others. The burden of these unwanted ideas slowly warps the personal dreams of the bearer and as both parties gradually succumb to the weight, stunted growth appears in the relationship. It withers and then bears sour fruit in the next generation.
