Interesting reading. Wish I had time to read every single entry. I will say a few things. I don't have kids, and that's my choice....but it amazes me at how the parents of today let their kids run THEIR lives. One of my dearest friends, she and her husband have had to let their 20-year-old son, his young wife, and their BABY move in with them. The had to finish their basement for their living quarters. NEITHER son or his wife work, and my friend and her husband are taking care of all three of these humans. The kids go "out" looking for a job.. like at Pizza Hut .. get a job, work 3 days and quit.. come up with all kinds of excuses. In the meantime, my friend's teeth are bad and she needs dental work, her husband is becoming depressed, and I just DON'T GET any of this. I'm to the point to where I am TIRED of hearing about it.. it's taking all I can do not to tell her she's stupid. And these two friends aren't the only ones I know who have similar situations.. then there's the friend who has two small children, and you can't even visit her w/o the two kids crawling all over her wanting her attention, poking her in the eyes, turning her around and around in her recliner while she's trying to talk... WHAT IS WRONG??????????????? Well, for starters, I see the PARENTS having some serious issues.
