LOL, now I'm the one doing all the yaking!
Geez, gotta be a record for quotes there! At least for me any who...
Ok, I didn't mean to start any controversy with my previous post about raising children. It IS an opinion I hold, based on experience. Nowadays, I see my sons on Christmas, exhausted from the season, and I remember those days. Teenagers are a classification all thier own. But it is worth it. Every step of the way. But I DO know there is a HUGE difference between 8 year old John and 6 year old Judy, as compared to 18 year old John and 16 year old Judy. Based on my experience, NO WAY I'd want Teenagers in the house while I'm drawing Social Security. I read Bronze's post, and I felt for ya brother. I have lived the other end of the spectrum. They are our Legacy, have you considered adoption ? Just a thought....

One of the most endearing times in the raising of our daughter was when she had her first period. (Gosh, don't let her know I wrote about that here!!! I'd never hear the end of it. ) Anyways, at that time I was a work at home dad also chief, cook and bottle washer as Mrs. Chak suffered a stroke when Tiffanie was only a year and a half - anyways, she came to me to talk about it first.
At first I was in shock because all she said was, "Dad, I'm bleeding." I said, "What! Where?!!! - oh there... (sigh) "Don't worry, honey. That's normal. I think we should share this with mom, ok?" I think she was an early bloomer too, she was only 9 at the time. Scary for a kid that old!
I could go on an on about how my children have changed my life for the better- but I will get all misty and probably cry like a baby LOL.
I'm just going to post a pic.
