They all hate the photo but it makes me smile every time I look at it, not because of what they were wearing, but raising a kid wasn't so complicated.

My friends will tell me about this trip or that trip they took their kids on, and I'm despairing because I'm struggling to save up enough time off to just cover all the times my son gets sent home from school. Hopefully my kids will be able to build happy memories even though we don't leave the house much.

There was no computer or video games, and we were not allowed to sit around watching television all day. But life wasn't all pleasure cruises and rose gardens. Each generation has its own positives and negatives.

We tended to take turns deciding, though. When it was my turn to pick, it was always some kind Robin Hood sort of thing. :)<br /><br />Congrats on getting your books up on Smashwords, Heather!!M.J.

It seems that the tech becomes part of life younger than ever - my 11-year-old already makes and edits her own YouTube videos, but on the plus side, that's something creative. She's a bookworm, too (currently devouring Harry Potter). I think there's hope yet!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.com
