They’re gonna have their own hole they got to dig themselves out of. That’s just part of life, you know? Now, you’re always gonna — we always pass something along,” he said. “And that’s just — that’s just life, you know? So as a parent, you do your best to not lay too much of your own bull**** on them.”
