For me also there's a bit of Old Skool at work here.
WAW wants something. Some things, I suppose, is more accurate. Okay fine.
Some I'm happy to provide -- good parenting, good communication on the kids' needs. In other words, things that satisfy both a "real" need -- kids' need -- and a need in me -- the need to be a good parent.
Other things? Youse guys know what da unoffishul motto of Big Midwestern City is, right? "What's in it fer me?"
