This is a funny post. I see that you got tons of posts. Probably because everyone who has a kid, thinks they are an expert on the subject. Can you post a follow up with the finer points? I have four young kids and all I know is that it is fucking hard work to do a good job and I lie to my kids whenever I have to make life sound fair or fairytale nice.

Why There Aren't More Googles 18 years ago
I don't think there are more Googles out there because there aren't that many good ideas floating around. Yes, things move quickly in the age of the internet, but the truth is, if there were more ideas as good as Google, there would be more Googles. Duh!
It isn't about money or funding or even execution. It is about innovation and timing. Give it time. If someone has a Google worthy idea, it'll emerge because people with copy it, steal it, hack it, flame it, etc.
Or maybe it's because Google hired all the smart people and now they own anyone who has the potential to create another Google like movement, so all the VCs are doing are throwing good money after bad ideas.
