"The stress that kids bring every day is unbelievable but I am assured its all worth it......" (Bobby G, above)
Yes, it is, as I think you know, Bobby. You and I are lucky in that we've managed to bring up our children as two-parent families: a lot of the sadness expressed above is when for whatever reason that hasn't been possible. When our younger daughter was a teenager, she had a circle of about 8 close friends of whom only 3, includng her, had parents still together.
The father/daughter thing is just as special, and we are very blessed to have two of each - 35 down to 25 and the eldest now a father himself of a 6-month old daughter.
Yes, we've been lucky, so far of course; my heart goes out to those who haven't. Probably best to look to the future as Stu is doing, and let's hope his firstborn is part of that future as well..
