I guess it might be somewhat generally 
difficult ... or maybe somewhat generally 
difficult in some cases, maybe, for some 
people to cultivate the kind of "tough love" 
that some mothers, eg, might be seen to 
favor, for whatever reason (which reasons, 
motives might tend to create other, further 
considerations, of course, I suppose, from 
various perspectives, but ...).

Sorry about all those qualifiers. Thing is, 
I'm in the middle of trying to turn over some 
kind of new leaf so I'm sort of trying to 
minimize my qualifiers to some extent and so, 
hopefully, make myself somewhat more ... uh 
... something. I'm not sure if 
"understandable" is the word I have in mind, 
exactly. What I think I might have in mind, 
or wish I had in mind, "I think," would 
seem to be whatever word that might be seen 
as "applicable enough" in this 
instance/context; but, on the other hand ... 
Okay, enough qualifiers for now.

Speculatively,
Mauri
