I cannot believe I am the only person
happy to be an empty nester. I love my kids. I loved watching them
grow up. I loved being around them and their friends and watching
them become their own people, whether that included me or not. I'm
just so proud of them both and happy that they appear to be on a path
that will lead them to their goals and happiness.
Yes, I am realistic that shit will
happen in their lives that no one will be happy about. Good
experiences will be on that path as well, I expect, but at the
end....I believe there will be no criminal activity in their future.
As a parent, can you/we not say that
that is the minimum we would hope for??
....ok..when my kids pick their
“career” I think the reward of their personal and professional
experience is more important than the big celebrity/business
powerhouse/public servant making a difference.
Of course I would hope also that there
might be financial reward supporting a middle to upper class
lifestyle.
