Yeah. My last post was a shitty way to start a weekend. How about this instead.
For the first time, today all three of my children will be working at actual jobs (13, 15, 20). Pretty damned proud of them.
@MPCavalier
That's absolutely something to be proud of!
@Helical_Code
I am SO proud. And my 15yo, who has a pretty content heavy course schedule, insisted on getting a seasonal part time job so that he could buy his girlfriend Christmas presents.
@Helical_Code
Yeah you and me both. Last night I took him out for his very first practice drive. 13yo daughter was with us and at some point she said "can I drive next??" and I went "NO!!! I am not ready for that!!!" I miss my little babies.
@MPCavalier @Helical_Code I had a nurse whose father sent her at the age of 13 to drive and buy him cigarettes.
@MPCavalier
Babies growing up is the best outcome, but it still leaves one longing.
@MPCavalier
Ok I'm getting a little teary over here
