Negativity, Schmegativity

I've absolutely had it with people being negative. No, nothing in life comes easy. Yes, you may have to work toward your goals to get somewhere. But eventually, you will get somewhere. Today I over heard someone talking about their child. The parent in question was saying her kid would never be able to pursue his dreams because of this and because of that. And I thought to myself, way to be supportive,(not). You're supposed to be your child's number one supporter. What are you thinking? It's no wonder some kids have self esteem issues and are insecure.
