Hi Deb and all the survivors
Thank you for those words. I have been reading this group for a bit and whilst all your comments make me smile or even laugh, this is the first one that has prompted me to reply. Thanks for the wisdom, I shall try to print them and stick them to my refrigerator
As an "authority on family" (I'm 55 and have 7 adult kids and 7grandkids) - I want to assure all of you that family will NOT wait. Your "time" to influence your kids/set a parenting example/be involvedin their lives/teach them to love and show compassion for othershappens in the blink of an eye.Even in a "perfect" family where the father works 8-to-5, and themother may or may not work...there's still scant time to spend withyour kids. For every night a parent is prospecting; for every weekendthe parents spend at a "function"....there's one less opportunity foryour kids to learn something. If they haven't learned important lifeskills by the time they're 18 or so....they will be at a disadvantagewhen they leave the nest - and what loving parent wants to do that totheir child????Bye,
Ijskater
