I just have to face that I still have a long way to go. I am still prone to making mistakes and out-right bone-headed gaffs, even when I think I am focused on the task at hand.
As for my S's, I wonder sometimes if my need to be in their lives is really for the right reasons. Am I doing it for them or for me?
That reminds me of something my C said recently. I was telling her my memory wasn't as good as it used to be, and she was saying when you are experiencing stress (like you and I are doing) that your memory is not as good. And then I think you are putting more stress on yourself by trying to be perfect or whatever.
If you are like me, you need to be involved with your kids for both reasons. I enjoy being with them and love them, but I also think it is good for both parents to be involved as much as possible with them. I want at least 50% with my children, too! Karen
