[QUOTE="WormWiggler, post: 132030, member: 245"] Good on you Cat Daddy, glad to hear parenting stories like that.... I had an eye opening moment one day that this thread made me recall. A hand made a comment about his in-laws, they had three older kids and one pre teen, the pre teen seemed to be a handful and he made the comment that the parents had "checked out"... meaning they had parented the older kids but were not up to the task for this younger kid.. It was just his opinion about persons that I had no clue about but it made me wonder... I was a "accident" with older siblings and "old" parents... and I don't recall any life lessons or talks with my parents... after his comment I have often wondered if my parents checked out... It is what it is but now as a parent looking back at my kids I have a lot of regrets as I am an old than average parent that works too much, wasn't there enough, and was basically grumpy and tired. Cherish your time with your kids, they are the most important thing you will ever do.. [/QUOTE]
