In reality, parents were invented in order to give children someone to annoy, and thus make them happy. My kids excelled at it, but somehow turned out okay. Go figure. Now I laugh my ass off when their kids annoy them! :)

Hey G
It's interesting to note that being ignored is annoying.

John, I never believe the "Mother's Curse" until I had kids of my own.
Everyone remembers the "Mother's Curse".
"I only hope that one day you have children - JUST LIKE YOU!"

If you ignore someone, does that make you ignorant – or does it make the person you ignore ignorant? I have often been the ignorer and the ignoree – and came out feeling ignorant regardless.

I think I could use a bit of child ignorance right now, since I have one adult boomerang kid at home and the second one will be returning home after he closes on the sale of his house.
The former is establishing his law practice and the latter has been unemployed for almost a year now even with a master's in healthcare administration.
I guess being the safety net is one of those things parents do as long as they are able do to so.
We'll just clean up the junk out of another bedroom and set out another plate at the table when the time comes.

Oh man... an MHA in the era of government-overseen taxpayer-funded universal health care? I feel sorry for him. I think if I were him, I'd be putting in for some of that "Obama Money" for a bailout.

"I guess being the safety net is one of those things parents do as long as they are able do to so."
After #1 son graduated college and got a job - he came home and said he'd be moving out to his own place.
I got up and went out to the garage and came back with a hammer and some nails. #1 son asked what was up.
I told him I was nailing his bedroom door shut.
Should have taken a picture, his expression was priceless! :)
Nah, I didn't really mean it. He and his sister will one day pick the old folks home they'll put me in. I want a nice one!

Some of us "kids" sacrifice our career aspirations and return home to take care of ailing parents. It's been 13 years now, and I subsist. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing again.

Many companies have decided to copy or imitation of reality to sell to make money and could easily fall prey to this trap. To avoid noticing the purchase of counterfeit goods that do not, that there are things to see for you before buying.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

My spouse and i were so fulfilled that Emmanuel managed to conclude his reports through the ideas he made in your web pages. It's not at all simplistic to simply choose to be releasing information and facts some people may have been selling. So we keep in mind we have got you to give thanks to because of that. Most of the illustrations you made, the simple blog navigation, the relationships you can give support to foster - it's got everything fantastic, and it's really aiding our son and us do think the subject is thrilling, which is exceptionally fundamental. Thank you for all!
