And who is to say that your kids will be responsible enough to care for you anyway? lol. I mean, many of them are, but there is no guarantee. They say things like that for siblings too--like all children should have a sibling so they are not alone, but not all siblings get along--esp later in life. So there are all kinds of crazy assumptions out there! And yes, even one keeps a parent busy. But what is nice is that you can focus on each age and stage, which is what I like. Plus he is kind of like his parents--he likes his quiet downtime. I think if I would have had a hyper one I would have been in trouble!

An unrelated topic. I am reading this book that I can't stop reading but is difficult to read at the same time. For some reason I like to read books related to WWII every now and then because that whole situation is just unfathomable. So I am reading the book--We were the lucky ones, by Georgia Hunter, and oh my--I just keep needing to know what happens to everyone but at the same time get so sad about it all. This was her actual family--she learned as a teenager that her family went through all of this, did a ton of research and wrote a fiction (but based on their real events) book. It is just very riveting. On a lighter note, I recently read Elinor Oliphant is completely fine. I really enjoyed the transformation of the character, and so much about that book.
I think you made a wise decision. When I purchased that Edie 42 in green and black suede, it had leather strips on the whip stitch. When I took it on a trip, those strips tore off, so I asked my Coach store about it. They wanted me to send it back for a repair, but I decided to simply cut the strips off. I was a little upset with the new SA at the store (my former SA moved and is no longer at Coach). Plus I like the bag modified. I doubt that I'll buy much from this store again. I'm moving anyway, so there's no point. If my previous SA was still there, I would consider ordering from him, but I don't care for the new SAs or the manager. Just my two cents, of course.
Oh please! I didn't have children. We had custody of my stepson, and that was quite enough for me. I've always worked, and once he was in high school, I went back to school for my PhD. It's possible that I may have had a child if I hadn't had stepchildren, but that's the course my life took. I have many friends who did not have children! Having children is a choice and not a requirement!
OMG! I KNOW that my stepson will never do this, and it's questionable whether my stepdaughter will do much for DH. I'm not counting on this. My brother never helped me with our parents. Totally on me. Yes to crazy assumptions. I've heard all those stories about only children, and I know some only children who are very happy. I'm not close to my brother.
Very rude. My stepdaughter doesn't have children (actually, neither stepchild has children), and she's heard this.
Oh wow that sounds very interesting! And awesome about getting your PhD! I always say if I won the lottery I’d just go back to school and stay there as my full time job lol. It would be fun to see how many degrees I could get [emoji23]
Thank you! I've never really looked back. You could probably get a lot of degrees!
That sounds like a great read. My Grandfather is a WWII Vet and the stories he’s told over the years could take your breath away.
Thank you! I've never really looked back. You could probably get a lot of degrees!
I’d also buy purses to carry all my books and degrees [emoji23]
That's exactly how I feel about a possible 2nd child. DS is a mellow guy. Lucky us!
This sounds like a great book. Historical fiction is my favorite genre. I will put it in my list to check out at the library.
