Yup...for being a coward and not having to live with the guilt, parents suffer for another 30 years.

only 30 yrs....... :lol: Parenting is 24/7 till am in the urn. The degree and type of parenting will be different as they grow but the parent label will never fade. Eventually will be promoted to GRANDPARENTS

Actually it's not just 30 years...more than that. The infant stage, toddler, primary school, teenage, late teens and adult stage...all spell one word - STRESS. Not to mention every child is different and as such require diff ways of coaching them.[/quote]But there are fun times too.......

I think it's the definition of success that's stressing parents. We want so much more for our kids

nay, that's not what I mean. You know how they can play until so mad that they don't stop being dangerous until they get hurt? But I think you probably won't understand that as much as I do. AFterall, i've really been thru' it all, quite much more. More years of experience too. SEen it all. sigh.

You all can tahan for so long, meh? I give up once they become teenagers. They don't need much taking care of definitely from that stage onwards and I leave them be. Only keep an eye. They also won't want you interfering. Which teenager/adult would?!
