[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 935696, member: 3828"] Nobody said that parenting was supposed to be easy. There weren't any guarantees that they'd [I]even like us[/I] when we were done. It certainly isn't about being "best buddies". It's about making the right (usually tough) choices and then living with them. We all roll the dice, and we take our best shot. The hands we are each dealt is different based on so many variables: The kid, the environment, the time and place... it's nearly impossible for any of us to give accurate advice on how to play their hand to someone else half a continent away, with a different kid, a differnet place... The key thing is that we are all such [I]motorcycle enthusiasts[/I]. We all love this thing we do, don't we? So, why not share the very thing that gives us the most joy with those we love the most too. Right? I just think that sometimes in our fever of enthusiasm, maybe some of us lose sight of what makes good sense for those loved ones. I know that I do sometimes. Hell ya, all the time. And I get away with it, and then kick myself in the ass later. Doesn't make it alright... [/QUOTE]
