AG - feel free to ramble here anytime. \:\)

And that goes for the rest of you lurkers out there! \:D

Looking back at my formative years, both of my parents worked but their jobs did not spill over into late afternoons/evenings most of the time. It helped that Mom and Dad could rely on my oldest sister to watch after us (me and my two younger sisters) and when it came time for my oldest sister to strike out on her own, the rest of us could pitch in and we got along very well. Mom and Dad had their ups and downs but they have stayed together for fifty years now.

So I hope you don't close the door on finding a R. You just might find the right person to be a very positive role model as a father and have it all. \:\)
