My girls laugh at me when I declare "Bay", my Tennessee Walking Horse, as the World's Best Horse. And he is....to me. His value to me is priceless, though anyone else might see an aging, scruffy and sometimes, pushy, horse.
Isn't it true, though that "best" is often a very personal thing? The "best" show horse in the world would be useless to me. A horse that knows me and I, him can't be bought.
Parenting and family issues are a lot like this. What works for one, may not work for another.
Here we are practicing for our next costume party. He's going as a human and I'm going as a horse.
