[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 678228, member: 19522"] Yes, I agree, this is the[I] negative part[/I] of "wanting the old life back." Not what we as parents were thinking, at all. We do have to be careful, and mindful of the words our kids use. Darn those manipulative d cs. I guess my two wont say this to me because they know it wont work. Well, they aren't even talking to me so......... Thanks Jabber, for the clarification. It is a good reminder. Their interpretation of the good old life and ours is from entirely different perspectives. Really, they are smart enough to not say the real intention behind it [I]in a whiny entitled voice[/I] [I]"Why cant you just keep giving me money and the car for the rest of my life so I can go out and party?"[/I] UGH. We are thinking, "Ah, the good old days, when you looked at me with loving eyes and listened." This is a fantasy that is not going to happen, we cannot go back....... Yes indeed, forward momentum.......... thank you for the reminder..... leafy [/QUOTE]
