No matter how old our kids get we'll always see them as OUR kids .

My sons are over visiting & we have a small bar in the house so my eldest was having some cognac & it hit me " boy i'd sure like a watermelon schnapps & vodka , so my son goes to make me a drink & hollers " your out of schnapps pops " , so i reply man i wish it wasnt so late i'd run down & get a bottle , now my son says " i'll run down & pick you up a bottle if you would like " .

Looking at him dumbfounded i say wtf they'll sell you liquor?? , now my sons looking at me like im brain dead & says " Im 40 years old dad ,they'd better sell me liquor" .

I was like duh but it just goes to show no matter how old they get we see them differently.
Im dreading the birds & the bee's talk comming up soon .

Ya my dad died. I found out he had two kids, whilst still married to my mom.

I knew about one. He left us with all his shit aches and a bar that almost fell to just chaos.

Now I'm just trying to shut down all the anger I have towards ....towards .. Shit IDK

I'm getting by. As long as I'm here for mine.

PS VODKA time. And never would I had ever imagined sharing this on grow forum. But there are a lot of bright and experienced minds here.

My 2¢

How right you are, its very difficult to except they are no longer under your control, the worst for me is my youngest, he moved out last August, his flat or apartment whatever you would like to call it is beautiful I go and clean and do his washing every week just so I still feel like I'm part of his life. But on weekends and the nights he goes out I still lie awake wondering if he's okay or that he got home okay from his night out, when he was at home I knew when he was in safe but now I don't and its very hard, I even text him in the morning to make sure he's okay and I can't stop it I've tried but to no avail. He keeps telling me he's not a little boy anymore but to me he always will be my little boy how sad is that.:cry:

Its not hard. Can get expensive. But not hard. Sometimes it can get chaotic, or cause a drastic change in your lifestyle.

I was 21 when my first was born. Glad I was young but it wasn't planned out. Wish I would a had more younger now that I'm a bit older. But I'm still semi young.

Rephrase : it shouldn't have to be hard. I know some fools that got it hard. But they keep making it hard

My joy at this moment comes from watching our son and daughter in law raising their 3 year old daughter they live in our old house on the farm I've told the son how proud I am of him and how I think he's a great father.......and without missing a beat he quickly told me he had a good teacher to be perfectly honest it brought a tear this old man's eye's. I guess the wife and I did a good job !

As my kids gain more independence and make their own decisions, my spouse was concerned about the younger one possibly staying in the "wrong" direction....I said have faith that we did a good job...I have great teenagers!
