Smallworld, I don't think Farmwife is saying our kids don't have problems. But sometimes we focus only on the bad, and don't see that in there, we do have stuff to be very grateful for.
I can certainly relate - of course difficult child 3 has autism and I do sometimes worry how we're going to get him set up on a career path, but I can trust him to not use drugs, to not be running wild in the streets blowing up letterboxes, to not be part of a gang beating up other kids. We still have problems, but they are different ones. And given a choice - I think we are dealing with less uncertainty.
