What fun!.......Steve1 A real argument FOR parenting is the Love which you can create,, within your family,,, and the satisfaction which occurs,, as you share in your Kids' accomplishments,,,and successes,,, and they in Yours.... I re-learned many things, (from Science to Math,,from houskeeping to budgetting ) as the kids went through school... Then as suddenly as they go from toddler to teen,,,, they go from teen to adult.....and by meeting the challenge and coming through it,,, a parent,,,, especially a single parent.....can glow in the light of his/her children...,,,, A strong incentive indeed ,, in favor of parenting.........For friends here, with young children,,or those who are considering children,,,,be sure to enjoy the time when they are infants and toddlers,,,,,,,Don't sweat the small stuff, remember,, they are Children,,, not "little grownups",, and communicate with the better half,,, regarding what's best for the KIDS.... When our's were real little,,,I was not able to "run out to the deezee" as I had in the past,,,, But that was cool....Between '81 and '90 .. I only made 119 jumps,,,, instead we did things with the kids,,,learned all sorts of stuff on Sesame Street, found out who Chuck. E. Cheese was,,,,laughed,,, and played.....from time to time we'd "go jumpin". but it wasn't priority.....Nowadays ,,, I look around on a Saturday.... and the wife is visiting her sisiter, and they plan to go shopping ,, the kids have plans,,,,,(which don't include Me!!!),,, and the sun is shining,,,,,,,So guess where the Old man ( only chronologically, not in spirit.... ) is heading??????? hahaha So.. now.steve1..as you're confident that the kids can be "home alone" or have become independent,,,,GO skydiving.!!!!!.. where and when you like!!!!!!!!,,, you just might run into me,,!!!!,,,,doing the same thing...peace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhino 0 #57 March 7, 2003 I'm trying to make the same point to my parents.. Mom to be specific.. She had my sister when she was 15 and me when she was 19.. I am 27 years old. Do the math and you will see that she is still young! I told her she should be seeing the world right now! Not sitting in Florida going to the funerals of all her really old ass friends growing old herself.. It's partaaay time baby!! It's go time!! When my kids are grown the chain is cut loose! It's time to have some fun and be irresponsible with my wife!! We are going to go places baby!! Yeagh!! Rhino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
