    That’s a good one–it’s indeed a hard job to be a GOOD parent.

        And that’s why I chose not to be a parent–I knew, from the poor example I’d been given, that the odds were good I’d be a bad mama. Didn’t think I should gamble on little lives.

        You might have surprised yourself. Being a good parent is a natural easy thing to do. You just have to show them love and support. They will do the rest.

        Being the oldest of 6, I had plenty of opportunities to catch the clues that I was headed into Mommy Dearest territory. I don’t regret my choice–and I enjoy being long-distance “Auntie” to friends’ kids.

    So true, Anthony! And I wouldn’t miss it for anything.

    There are happy moments too! (Usually when they are asleep).

      Sleep can be a good thing some days.
