RKS Literature: Merciless Judging of Parents by Their Children (Georges Simenon)

“Today I realize that a couple with children is not just a couple. And sometimes they forget it. Near them in the house, almost always present, there are children who watch them and, in the measure of their own intelligence, judge them.

The parents think of themselves as simply a father and a mother. But they are wrong. They are two individuals whose every gesture, word and glance are judged mercilessly.”

Georges Simenon, “Letter to My Mother”, 1970
