parenthood ...

Well its been three years since our big talk, and it seems clear my youngest daughter has moved on from her association with the church. Of course I'm disappointed, but, she's so doggone sweet to us that its difficult to too disappointed. On the other hand, my oldest daughter who's a senior in college, has approached us about the possibility of serving a mission after graduation -- something that's been gnawing on her lately. Life is a great adventure with kids.

I had a friend of mine summarize parenting as "an exercise in adaptation."

You just never know what you're going to get moment to moment from your kids, and they are all different.

A lady my dad used to work with once summed it up by saying: "You never know which tire will go flat"

Being a parent now has helped me realize how much of my parent's seeming unreasonableness was tied to my teenage ability to be inconsiderate.
