[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675600, member: 19522"] Thank you Defiant, He was very smart. He passed almost 4 years ago, after a series of illnesses. Life is short. Too short to be stuck. There is much to live for and experience while we are still able. This is so true D C every single day is a wonderful opportunity. The past....a lesson, the present..... a gift....the future..... unknown. I am learning a lot here, too. Interestingly enough, my parents expected us to be out of the house by 18. College, work, whatever, out of the house. Old school thinking. In this day and age, economy, I can see why parents help their kids beyond 18. I would not mind extended family living, but [I]everyone[/I] has to cooperate and see the value of following rules. It is hard when our d c's will do whatever they feel like, regardless of consequence to themselves or others. Dad would say " You don't like the rules, there's the door." Huh No pining away, no regret, no hesitation, "There is the door...." Good old fashioned, no nonsense. I wish I had learned from that, would have saved me heaps of trouble! (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
