Subject: Betsy, no grandchildren yet. Fortunately, we can MOSTLY look back on those years and laugh. Our kids are now 32 & 28, college grads, in their own homes, working jobs they love, and being responsible citizens. We LOVE spending time with them, especially when they STILL bring friends over for a party. Some days I wonder how we survived it, but the house is a LOT quieter most of the time. Thank goodness for the Hooligan kittens to keep DH and I entertained.
In reply to: Betsy BFS 's message, "Diana,, I so know how this goes. Those LONG times of continuous emotional upheaval are exhausting in every way. Having tenuous relationships with your kids, even when they're adults, is always an Oh Good Gravy. What is it going to be this time? Nice conversation, or not-so-nice? Stomach in knots with each ring of the telephone. We parents need to hug each other and repeat the mantra: This, too, shall pass." on Wed, April 19 2023, 21:35:39
