Well, so what? So he learned that parents are vulnerable too? I explained ,y wretched feeling to him in words he could understand. Then, he consoled and encouraged me in the way that only three-year-old can.
I feel enhanced by my children. They have added to, not taken away from, my life. When I look back to the early years I wonder how we managed. We had less stable working lives and significantly less cash, which meant no babysitters and few evenings out. I had long-standing back pain and was always either pregnant or lying down. But you can give love and attention from any position. The only thing young children really need from you is the sight and touch of you, and your two ears to listen to them.
The point is everything changes. The confusion in bringing up children does recede. The love you feel for your kids is the most gratifying thing.
Believe me. It's true.
Don't believe the press telling only the bad news that motherhood is all dirty nappies and sleepless nights which are said to cause mothers to abuse kids. When I got married, it seemed the most natural thing in the world that I would that I would have three babies in four years. Having children was what I had always wanted. I was fulfilled in my work and happy generally, but having children was the absolute high point. Fortunately my partner shared this view.
But for some people, raising their children is a tough thing. Surely, raising children is a responsibility. You make a baby and you can't get drunk, stay out all night or go on holiday on impulse. In fact, you can't really have any arbitrary thought at all when everything you do has to be so well-organized.
It's also true that I would love just occasionally to be totally irresponsible, unmindful of anyone's needs but my own. I remember the time I was seven months pregnant and struggled with a stroppy three-years-old son and a crawling one-year-old daughter. My back ached, and what is worse, I couldn't find the right colored crayon for my son to shade in Batman's cape. He repeatedly complained to me, "A pencil just would not do." I was greatly embarrassed, at last lay on the kitchen floor, and sobbed. Then he was filled with wonder.
I tried again. I put out my foot and made a wild jerking stab with the chalk which produced a very crooked line and nothing more. Mother held the slate steady for me."Try again, Chris," she whispered in my ear. "Again."
I did. I stiffened my body and put my left foot out again, for the third time. I drew one side of the letter. I drew half the other side. Then the stick of chalk broke end I was left with a stump. I wanted to fling it away and give up. Then I felt my mother's hand on my shoulder. I tried once more. Out went my foot. I shook, I sweated and strained my muscle. But-I drew it-the letter "A". There it was on the floor before me. Shaky, with awkward, wobbly sides and a very uneven center line. But it was the letter "A." I looked up. I saw my mothers face for a moment, tears on her cheeks. Then my father stooped and hoisted me onto his shoulder.
That one letter, scrawled on the floor with a broken bit of yellow chalk gripped between my toes, was my road to a new world, my key to mental freedom.
There have been many changes occuring in the Japanese economy and these changes have had various consequences
on other aspects of Japanese society.
For instance, many Japanese people feel that their incomes have been becoming less equal.
After poll results were published, members of the present administration had to answer to accusations of being responsible for the widening income gap.
Economists have suggested that the idea of equal income distribution in Japan was appropriate 20 years ago.
However, now may be the time to abandon this idea.
Economists have also stated that the recent growth of the income gap may be due to the ongoing transformation of
the Japanese society into a more competitive one.
This transformation began with changes in corporate organization.
Since the early 1990s, company structures have changed to reduce personnel cost.
Many companies have apparently given up the concept of lifetime employment.
A large number of full-time workers have been replaced by part-timers, many of whom have no claim to retirement
benefits or health insurance.
Factories have been moved overseas, where lower labor costs allow for higher profits.
These efforts are intended to recreate the Japanese economy by making it more competitive.
Competition has also been encouraged within companies through the introduction of a performance-based salary system.
Performance rewards, which were previously uncommon, have increased motivation among workers.
This newly found motivation has generated a certain level of desire for better schooling because of the opportunities
that exist for skilled workers to obtain profitable positions.
To keep this newly competitive labor market fair and open, equality of educational opportunities is necessary.
However, access to education commonly is tied to family income as rich parents can afford to send their children to
famous and more expensive schools.
If this connection is ignored, it could produce a situation in which only children of rich parents can receive the education required to get well-paid jobs later in life.
Provided that education is accessible to children independent of their parent's income, the change into a more competitive society may boost career opportunities for any aspiring individuals.
Economists tend to agree that the income gap is common in this age of globalization.
No one can deny that competition usually brings about greater income variation.
The widening income gap, caused in part by increased competition, is perhaps the price the people have to pay for the revival of the Japanese economy.
Only the future will tell if this is a price worth paying.

Although both “should” and “had better” can be used when giving directions, in American English it would be considered more natural, and more polite, to say, “To get to Sakae from here, you should take the Higashiyama Line” than, “To get to Sakae from here, you had better take the Higashiyama Line.”
“should”も“had better”もともに、指図するときに使うことが出来る
