Oh wow SS. I feel for you, but it sounds like you're doing a really great job.

I'm not looking forward to having the 'transition conversation' with our kids. W and I had just finished our latest 'where are we going' conversation yesterday when S12 came in and asked if we were having anothe of our 'long talks'. I wasn't aware he knew anything about any conversations we gave had: we always make sure they're not around. There must be tension in the air and different attitudes they can sense though.

I will definitely check out that book - and HNHN which I also discovered yesterday.

Keep up the good work. (Not so) Old Dog xx
