[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 709637, member: 21572"] Is it ever a lot of work, and speaking for myself, unlike when I were younger, I wasn't able to roll with the punches like I used to when I first got the GC. There was a huge conditioning curve I went through. I impressed upon both of my daughters starting at a young age, behave yourselves and stay on the right side of the fence, but no matter how much you remind them, people live by the roll of their own hand, and just like dice, where they stop, nobody knows. I wish we had been more financially able (as yourself) to weather the storm, but all-in-all things went well and as with my own children when they were younger, I ensured I was the doting mother to them, always fussing over this and that like any grandma does. It's so disheartening to know how disposable everything has become Re: life nowadays, kids included. I sometimes get a sense that nothing means nothing in our world today, especially when it comes to today's growing generation. There seems to be little thought process as to getting married, having kids, then throwing the towel in when things don't go just right. I am so grateful for those like ourselves who were able to step-in and carry the load. I feel proud right now being a part of this discussion. Sending hugs to everyone here! [/QUOTE]
